Representation of men in Thriller

Representation of men in Thriller

In thriller films, men and women are represented differently due to the concept of the genre. Stereotypically, men are portrayed as the 'hero'/protagonists and tend to be the one to 'save the day' when it comes to thriller films, where as women are seen more of a hindrance and are more typically expected to die during the films.


 In this scene we see a subversive depiction of men and women in thriller as we see the equality between men and women throughout the 'shootout'. This is a subversive representation of women, as they are normally seen as feeble and weak, where as in this seen, we seen that the women is clearly as dominant as the male and in some cases even stronger than many males as they massacre through many security personal and escape death.
