Colombiana

So I just finished watching a movie called Colombiana (a must watch),  relating it to class, this movie was completely opposite of how a women is portrayed in society, as discussed in the video we watched in Tuesday’s class. The movie is about a young girl whose parents are killed in front of her, so she moves in with her uncle were she then grows up to become a paid assassin. The climax of the movie is when the murders start coming together and she kills the people who killed her parents. In the movie she does have a love interest but to me he played more of a womanly role because she was always seemed like the aggressor towards him, when they became intimate. Another thing I noticed in how Colombiana acted is that they portrayed her as not really having emotions. Although she was a paid assassin, it seemed to me the guy who played her love interest, played more of the emotional role in the movie. And in the end you would expect her to go back to him, but no. Noticing how she dresses wasn’t too womanly either. Jeans and t-shirts was what seemed all of her wardrobe consisted of. Usually a woman with a lot of money would be seen in a movie as buying expensive or luxurious items, and falling for a man. To me she was a woman playing a masculine role in the movie, because she played the tough guy, cold hearted, arrogant.
