What a Girls Wants



This movie is direct by a female,Dennie Gordon. She is awonn American Film and television director. The story is of a young woman, Daphne Reynolds (Amanda Bynes), 17 years old, pining for her father who was separated by trickery and deceit from her mother, Libby (Kelly Preston) before Daphne's birth. Her mother and her father, Lord Henry Dashwood (Colin Firth) were married in a makeshift Bedouin ceremony while in Morocco and had tried to make it complete when Henry brought his mini-skirted, beaded and baubled radical-looking American bride home. Seeing Libby as a liability to Lord Dashwood's political aspirations for Prime Minister, his senior political advisor, Alastair Payne (Jonathan Pryce) convinced Libby of her liability to her husband's political future and rushed her off and out of Henry's life back to America. Libby, of course, saw this as Henry rejecting her. And since she found herself to be with child (Daphne) Libby opted to keep knowledge of Daphne from Henry in fear that .
Below are video are from part of this movie. I had analyze from this few parts lets start from Part 3, while from the costume “what’s a Girl Wants” it is modern-dress version of the frithy 1958 romantic comedy. From a youth girl turn out to become a real woman after she found her dad. Costume she use to wear T-shirt and a jeans(part3) then she slowly turn to be more ferminant she wear dress (Part 3 and part 8) and formal suit to at tent dinner party with her dad (Hendry).

Part8

Part5

In this movie there are feminism theory apply in this movie. this film would play well in some foreign countries, but British viewers are likely to roll their eyes at the all too often portrayal of their "stiff upper lip" and the predictable British jokes that litter the film. And the depiction of Daphnie character as the all American girl is quite a stereotype too. The idea that all British citizens are that uptight and that all Americans are completely insane in the head might be true in some circumstances, but this film makes quite a blanket generalization about it. For example, She don’t attach  to a guy which is blone hair born in England.she falling in love with a guy which same hair colour with her.

Somehow, there are few scene show that feminism theory had apply in this movie. For example there are a scene Daphne step sister(Clarissa) don’t like Daphne so she try to make her do embarrass stuff infront public. There is a dialog show that girls jealousy.Girl like to compared and use to jealous one between each other 

Daphne: “Hey step sis, you’ve seen Cinderella, I’m Cinderella, you are the evil step sister, I’m gonna win”
Clarissa: “huh…… “

Part8

Camera angle there is one part using low angle (part 8) The dog run to find Daphne and look at her, it seems like the dog wanted to ask Daphne to play with it. Low angle give a sense of confusion to a viewwer,of powerlessness within the action of a scene. Example from this (part8) we can see that Daphne is just standing straight at a place and the little doggie ran to find her. Camera angle, one of the aprt using tilts shot which a movement scans a scene.From figure(part8) when Daphne mother slowly walk down from the staircase.

Part4

There are one more part in this movie content feminism theory, there is a part she accidentally go to the wrong way of the door,once she open is the event stage, Dahpne whole family sitting out there be judger. Once she walk out she just walk like a model and there are few guy get attached by her. Here are a simple explanation,girl like men to stare at them and men get easily attached to pretty girl. (Figure part4) The 3 guys said”what a beautiful creature”.

Feminists have a long tradition of situating ideals of beauty and the involvement of women in beauty practices in a political context (Davis, 1991; Wolf, 1991; Bordo, 1993; Davis, 1995). They argue that beauty is integral to the construction of femininity in a gendered social order. The female sex is idealized as the incarnation of beauty, while the bodies of most ordinary women tend to be treated as inferior and in constant need of improvement.”
