Page "Laura Mulvey" Paragraph 10

Within her essay, Mulvey discusses several different types of spectatorship that occur while viewing a film.

Viewing a film involves subconsciously engaging in the understanding of male and female roles.

The " three different looks ", as they are referred to, explain just exactly how films are viewed in relation to phallocentrism.

The first " look " refers to the camera as it records the actual events of the film.

The second " look " describes the nearly voyeuristic act of the audience as one engages in watching the film itself.

Lastly, the third " look " refers to the characters that interact with one another throughout the film.
