What’s your opinion on the Hollywood obsession with femme fatale roles and do you think that’s a healthy discourse/ideology for women to adhere to today
Compare and contrast with Status Fatale figures
I'll go into it briefly since I'm a bit bored.
The role of woman in society is, as with all things, an inherent contradiction (Pretty sure everyone has seen or at least read about that monologue from the movie by now), and society progress through the development and resolution of these inherent contradictions.
You can view the role of the femme fatale, then as an response to seek resolution to said contradiction: what if these extraordinary women are now free to be as smart and pretty and as dangerous as they want?
I don't think it's an obsession, as long as this contradiction exists, this idea is always worth exploring.
Does it get explored or does it get repeated to the point losing its meaning and instead encouraging new status quo.
I’d also still like to hear your opinion on it with respect to the male counterpart as portrayed in movies if that’s cool
