1980s...

Three Men and a Baby (1987)



This film highlights issues which are becoming more relevant in recent years as captures the zeitgeist of the time and the evolution of the "New Man" who is in touch with his feminine side. This thus challenges the dominant stereotypes that a man should be masculine and strong and repress his feelings much like "The Terminator".

The Terminator (1984)



"The Terminator" is a prime example of how the media portrays women to be in need of security and protection of a man. The terminator's strength and and power can be considered as a binary opposition compared to the womans susceptibility and vulnerability.
