Alfie-Industry. Gender and Sex in 1960's London

Essay aus dem Jahr 2015 im Fachbereich Kunst - Fotografie und Film, , Sprache: Deutsch, Abstract: I will be investigating the industrial changes in film, the structure of the market, America's investment in the British film industry and the reasons censorship laws were revised. I will examine Alfie (1966) directed by Lewis Gilbert, pinpointing issues of gender roles, the male dominance, the hedonistic man and his consequences. I will observe whether this is a sensationalist film, if the film uses subject matter, for example abortion, to shock and anger viewers. I will discern how exaggerated Alfie (1966) is in respect to the 'real' 1960's.
