How do we read this shot?
Poor Malena, she has been driven to this by her cruel society.
Silly woman – why is she doing that?
Monica Bellucci – phwoaaar! Wish I was one of those blokes.
What an interesting composition. Note the forward tracking to draw our attention to the teardrop forming in her right eye.
Did I feed the cat before I came out?

Are the techniques employed by filmmakers irresistible?
Stuart Hall
Differentiate between audiences (mass response) and spectators (individual response).
Do we take a stance that is preferred, negotiated or oppositional?

American History X is a film full of deliberately provocative issues of race, (though the ending is anti-racist)

YouTube users respond to the speech
ElliotLeggeIf the truth is racist, then what's so bad about being racist?
Sean Igothis speech is pathetic bullshit … Samson towerThis guy has a point, and I'm Mexican!
QDesjardin04Perhaps Derek's speech might have a shred of truth in it, but there is an eerie undertone that resembles the Nazis pinning Germany's great depression on the Jews, the Gipsies, homosexuals and the Jews...
Shekelburg SwindlesteincohenfeldI'm not a neo nazi or a white nationalist or whatever, but this speech is very true…

Laura Mulvey
• Film fascinates us (engages our emotions), through images and spectacle
• Hollywood/mainstream/narrative cinema manipulates visual pleasure.
• It ‘codes the erotic into the language of the dominant patriarchal order’.

Man as the bearer of the look
Woman as image
Scopophilia is the force driving the movements and positioning of the
camera.
The gaze is male, and the spectator is led to
identify with this male gaze

• But do we accept this eroticised reading of Malena?

• Does the film confront us with our scopophilia in order to make us feel guilty?

Julian Hanich
Do we look into or away from a film at extreme moments?
There is a trend along gender lines - but not exclusively - that women ‘look away’ (break contact) and men ‘look into’ (identify the artifice) when stimulation becomes too extreme in horror films

Irresistible? What we don’t see is more effective (off camera foley, performance, editing) than what we do (unconvincing animatronic hands)

Is Audition stronger because of its slow build-up and subtle undercurrent than for the intense dramatic scenes?

Richard Wollheim
Central imagining – our need to experience emotional response through identification with character

I identify perfectly
Irresistible?
I’m feeling something but it’s not identification
