High Noon (1952)
High Noon predominantly conveys ideas of patriarchy and how men are more dominant, assertive, confident and make the decisions. The open space is an epitome of their freedom and no female character is present in the opening which thus opposes their own freedom and the fact that men have the ascendancy over them.
Sunset Boulevard (1950)
Sunset Boulevard illustrates the women to be more powerful due to her confident expression and the way in which she contains herself, having the man under her control. Nevertheless, it still allows her to be objectified as she plays the role of a "femme fatal" and can be considered as the "whore" due to her provocative dress sense and her promiscuous ways.
