She is the Man is a teen flick that based on Shakespeare's Twelfth Night, which is about a girl who pretends to be her twin brother in order to play her favorite sport soccer. Many stereotypes of gender roles about males’ masculinity and females’ femininity have been shown in She, and many of these stereotypes have been parodied to critique gender inequality. Although She is the Man tells a story about girl sport (soccer), discourse of gender roles is the theme because of the important employment of a “reversed sex” in the film. First, the catalyst of the story is the protagonist Viola’s high school cuts the girls’ soccer team, and the coach refuses to let her try out for the boys team—“Everybody knows girls aren’t as fast or strong or athletic as boys”. This is the most obvious example of gender stereotype and sexism; it becomes the motif of Viola’s impersonation of her brother Sebastian to try out for a rival school’s boys’ team and prove herself. Another example can be seen in Viola’s girly mother’s parenting on girlhood—all she wishes for her daughter is to dress nice, be ladylike and have a cute boyfriend. Viola’s attempt to break gender stereotype from school and parent is feminist. However, the plot itself of Viola has to "become a man" in order to earn respect as well as the opportunity to play soccer is an implication of gender inequality. Yet, the film has employed many unexpected events to mock or satirize gender roles. On the one side, it suggests a girl can play both male and female roles if she wants, Viola’s masquerading as a boy is the best case. In addition, the film also implies “inside every girl, there is a boy” from Viola’s male friend Paul’s mouth. For example, during the mother-daughter dinner, Olivia, the gender-normative “lady”, fights with Sebastian’s “ex”-girlfriend. The fight scene is very manlike and aggressive, which might be exaggerated for comedy effect, but still, it does make the audiences wonder if the previous ladylike was just a fake; it also becomes an interesting echo to Paul’s words. On the other side, the film also constantly makes a dig at male’s feminine part. One example is Duke, the typical jock who is supposed to be masculine, is actually very shy and becomes tongue-tied when he is with girls. And he is scared of bugs just like Viola; there is this scene he and “Sebastian” (Viola) scream and jump onto the same bed just to dodge a spider. Another classic example is when “Sebastian” (Viola) first moves into dorm, she accidentally drops her female product, which is seen by Duke. He asks why she has tampons in her boot, she says she gets bad nose bleeds implying she stick them up the nose. When Duke and his male friends get surprising face, she even says Beckham does it all the time. What is funny is, later in the film, Duke really uses tampon to suck nose bleeding after a fight. This not only surprises Viola, who does not think a guy would actually use tampons (even though she is the one makes it up), but also becomes an irony to his early response to this story. Although the film does not explicitly say, it is clearly enduring the idea that female can be manlike and masculine (playing soccer, fight, etc.), and male can be ladylike and feminine (use woman product, fear of bugs, etc.) Reading this teen comedy as a whole—it is amusing to see the switch of masculinity in female and femininity in male, and more interestingly, this is approached through a real “sex switch”, a girl in boy’s disguise—Shakespeare might laugh as well. © Lydia L 3/16/2011 未经许可 请勿转载
和足球的关联并不大,感觉像当年迷花样少男少女一样哈哈哈哈。但这部电影明显情节设计相当到位,女二为了让女扮男装的女一喜欢上自己,搭讪并利用男一,女一那个吃醋的劲儿呦哈哈哈。还有最后哥哥和妹妹在球场上自证清白那段太搞了,编剧厉害了。
但男生这个靠下半身思考的物种 说实话真的太容易动摇了,但我还是相信最终能走到一块去靠的还是共同的兴趣爱好,话题不断生活不至无聊 是吧。竟然还是对男一这个人设非常有好感我是不是疯了哈哈哈哈
哎我觉得我这个人实在是太无趣了又没有优点,感情对我来说真是个难解之题。
三星半入;看得欢乐死了,球场互撕太萌,主配角都非常搞笑,这才是活力四射、自然清新的青春片!即使涉及情爱,也处理得洒脱明快,不要非议人家商业片,商业片也要好看才行啊!女主肉肉的,但不得不说男女装切换无痕;彼时查宁清俊挺拔,身板还没那么厚实,一身西装真是口水!
不是很爱这种青春剧的 但是女主角扮男的太有意思了
之前以为是体育题材的青春片所以一直提不起兴致,但被Amanda妞宣布息影又反悔的消息一折腾决定还是看一看,结果是出乎意料地好看啊。导演或制片人肯定很爱美,整体主创演员们都秀色可餐
那谁很帅。
校园青春剧就应该这么好看嘛
最可爱的女扮男装。
最喜欢的一部青春片!!男主角帅到死!!!
Amanda Bynes的脸未膨大之前还蛮可爱的
正常青春片,小细节做得好。女主角很可爱,不过已经退出娱乐圈做别的去了。
演技不错,帅哥养眼,有好几个让人大笑的地方
不错的喜剧 不俗
Channing Tatum帅到爆!
男主很帅!阿曼达也很可爱啊!哈哈。
女主角真够卖力气的,不容易
厌女男凝全不放过,雌竞完美进行的大家都爱,每次弹幕笑点都是牺牲盛宴,男子气概的完美诠释,大家共同最爱的女主光环,物化女性,撕逼大战你们放心观看。
喜剧片,花木兰呀?女孩能在男生宿舍待过两星期,太厉害了。为了足球痴迷。
前半部分很好看~女主角好像TBBT里的Penny~~
男主批评扮男装的女主:“为什么每次提到女性你都会提到肉体” 人设太好了
本以为是一部简简单单的流水线烂片,没想到几条故事线的完成度非常高,比如哥哥回来的剧情,普通的烂片就直接让他跟女的好上了,而不会考虑两人性格是否合适,但这部片为了防止这种情况,特地安排了女生喜欢哥哥写的歌词,导演和编剧有心了
Amanda Bynes好萌...
