mylittlefrog1218The article, “Post-princess models of gender: The new man in Disney/Pixar”, tells us a new trend of male lead characters in movies made by Pixar studios. Those male characters start with personality of alpha male which is also the traditional male characters, followed by emasculation, then the characters go through another stage of homosociality, intimacy, and emotion, and finally become the new man. Pixar studios make the characters more realistic and give characters not only outstanding external image but also add emotion to the characters.
The movie I want to talk about is Skyfall, the latest movie in James Bond series. I think this movie is a traditional male lead character movie because most of the story shows that James Bond is an alpha male, he is strong, cool and self-sufficient, even though James Bond is sad when he sees his lover shot and killed. He doesn’t show any weakness but is angry and wants revenge. In addition, there is romantic content in the movie but it isn’t a major part of his character. No woman can really keep James Bond because the writer wants to maintain James Bond’s character as an alpha male. In the most part of the movie we see James Bond works alone and there is nothing about friendship. My thoughts are that the James Bond character is still alpha male which is different from the new character pattern mentioned in the article.
Question: How do you think of the character of James Bond?
