The 2008 movie, Iron Man was about a rich, innovative, billionaire- who like all other hero’s was trying to save the world. But in the begging of his movie he doesn’t have a worry in the world, not even his lonely life, for he has something other guys don’t have. Money, and because of this money he gets a lot of girls. In the beginning of the movie, the portrayal of women is something along the lines of gold diggers, and sex craving animals. The female that played a big role in the movie was his secretary Pepper and like the rest of the movie fit into the stereotype of the typical woman in the working world. She is a secretary that is extremely organized, nurturing, sweet, and pretty, not to mention someone a secretary that is in love with his boss.
There was an underlying tone of racism with the trustworthy black friend always there for Tonny’s aid but never really having a large part in the movie. Then their was racism
There was defiantly a sense of imperialism because it seemed like it was a government propaganda movie, because it did what our government had been doing for ages; making our country seem like they are a lot more dutifully good while other races are hateful and terrorists. There is a sense of dehumanization of the Arab race and making it seem like white was a supreme race.
What is the world’s image of someone with power? What characteristics describe them? Did Tonny Starks fit that image and was everyone simply there to serve him?
