An Unlikely Medium: Comparing Film and Reality in ‘Jesse James’

Currently, feminism is a social movement that has brought a tremendous effect on film criticism and theory. The cinema has been widely taken by feminists to be an ethnical practice depicting myths concerning women and femininity. As a result, the issues of spectatorship and representation are key to feminist film criticism and theory.

Such fixed, the endless repetition of images of women were conceived to be obnoxious distortions that would set back the female observer (Hilderbrand and Lucas 345). Nevertheless, the understanding dawned that ...

If it is true that the film and entertainment industry has become so powerful that it has a measurably misleading effect on historical knowledge, then learning history at the movies would, if anything, appear to be detrimental. Many filmmakers have skillfully blended art and ...
