The female gaze in the current era
I recently came across discussion on the topic of male and the female gaze. When ppl were mentioning how there is less glamour in the current generation of movies compared to what it was before.
In my opinion female gaze is it is focused on the character arc of the women in the story just like their male counterparts. Not the scenes where the hero is shirtless (that is male gaze imo). This is coming from someone who reads a lot of stories and fanfiction.
Female gaze in characters I've seen across the years:
1.Ajith and all the characters from kandukonden kandukonden
Ram and Sita from SitaRam
Bheem from RRR
Steven grant , Marc spector (Oscar issac and his characters 🥹😮💨🤌 so i might be a bit partial here) and Layla from moon knight
Sridevi and venkatesh in kshana kshana movie
Suriya and Aparna balamurali from soorarai pootru
7.Amala Paul in Amma kannaku and aadai
- Lady bird
Let me know what is your perspective and favourite characters.
Edit: Natasha Romanoff in infinity war, endgame and Black widow movie and Bucky Barnes in Marvel fandom
