Looking at "Visual Pleasure and Narrative Cinema" from Laura Mulvey , she argues about how Hollywood films has completely brainwash the spectator perception and therefore, it has make them sensible to what the industry would like them to see the world as it is .She talks about the process of project to the audiences different ideas in their mind, such as erotic.
To start with , Mulvey use references and support her ideas using Freud's studies . On ‘Three Essays on Sexuality’ explains that humans normally tend to use sexuality as an object . Furthermore this specific behaviour can led to a manifestation of a narcissistic aspect on each individual, which recognise others, and therefore the cinema has bring its visible style through actors and actresses. Mulvey started to seen that the male gaze was vicious and continous during that period on the cinema, as Richard Dyer also suggest on the film Picnic in "Stars and Audiences" .Just then Mulvey started to use this element as man need to be masculine .
Hence, looking at John Storey ‘Cultural Theory and Popular Culture’ he started to identify the images of acotr saw on cinema and associated them with the "self-image or mirror stage . It is a psychology process whereas the individual desire the appearance of their favourite stars from the big screen.
Not just that, but also when Storey argue about Mulvey's opinion, stating that the narratives found on " Noir" film is also a exploitation of the female role as it is,short dialect, sexual desire and showing their bodies. a new opinion on the topic,where she began to critic the banishing of pleasure on cinema, the context of making revolution in the industry to free woman's persecuted role . She states that on cinema is neccessary to stimulates other aspects of the male and female gaze
