  • Locations of Motherhood in Shakespeare on Film
    Volume 2 (2), 2009 ISSN 1756-8226 Locations of Motherhood in Shakespeare on Film LAURA GALLAGHER Queens University Belfast Adelman’s Suffocating Mothers (1992) appropriates feminist psychoanalysis to illustrate how the suppression of the female is represented in selected Shakespearean play-texts (chronologically from Hamlet to The Tempest ) in the attempted expulsion of the mother in order to recover the masculine sense of identity. She argues that Hamlet operates as a watershed in Shakespeare’s canon, marking the prominent return of the problematic maternal presence: “selfhood grounded in paternal absence and in the fantasy of overwhelming contamination at the site of origin – becomes the tragic burden of Hamlet and the men who come after him” (1992, p.10). The maternal body is thus constructed as the site of contamination, of simultaneous attraction and disgust, of fantasies that she cannot hold: she is the slippage between boundaries – the abject. Julia Kristeva’s theory of the abject (1982) ostensibly provides a hypothesis for analysis of women in the horror film, yet the theory also provides a critical means of situating the maternal figure, the “monstrous- feminine” in film versions of Shakespeare (Creed, 1993, 1996). Therefore the choice to focus on the selected Hamlet , Macbeth , Titus Andronicus and Richard III film versions reflects the centrality of the mother figure in these play-texts, and the chosen adaptations most powerfully illuminate this article’s thesis. Crucially, in contrast to Adelman’s identification of the attempted suppression of the “suffocating mother” figures 1, in adapting the text to film the absent maternal figure is forced into (an extended) presence on screen.

  • INTRODUCTION Fatal Attraction and Scarface
    1 introduction Fatal Attraction and Scarface How We Think about Movies People respond to movies in different ways, and there are many reasons for this. We have all stood in the lobby of a theater and heard conflicting opin- ions from people who have just seen the same film. Some loved it, some were annoyed by it, some found it just OK. Perhaps we’ve thought, “Well, what do they know? Maybe they just didn’t get it.” So we go to the reviewers whose business it is to “get it.” But often they do not agree. One reviewer will love it, the next will tell us to save our money. What thrills one person may bore or even offend another. Disagreements and controversies, however, can reveal a great deal about the assumptions underlying these varying responses. If we explore these assumptions, we can ask questions about how sound they are. Questioning our assumptions and those of others is a good way to start think- ing about movies. We will soon see that there are many productive ways of thinking about movies and many approaches that we can use to analyze them. In Dragon: The Bruce Lee Story (1992), the actor playing Bruce Lee sits in an American movie theater (figure 1.1) and watches a scene from Breakfast at Tiffany’s (1961) in which Audrey Hepburn’s glamorous character awakens her upstairs neighbor, Mr Yunioshi. Half awake, he jumps up, bangs his head on a low-hanging, “Oriental”-style lamp, and stumbles around his apart- ment crashing into things.

  • I'm a Married Man Chloe Nolan
    I'M A MARRIED MAN CHLOE NOLAN MIDLAND JUNCTION ARTS CENTRE | 20 FEBRUARY - 24 APRIL 2021 I'm a Married Man, 2021, video installation, 4:40 min. I first watched Adrian Lyne’s Fatal Attraction (1987) when I was 16 years old and I remember feeling repulsed by Michael Douglas’ character. I was insulted that the film expected me to relate to a man who had cheated on his wife and somehow became the victim of his mistress’s sexual scorn. There is one scene in Fatal Attraction that particularly horrifies me, and which epitomises the treatment of “predatory women” in film. After repeated attempts to cut contact with Glenn Close’s character, Douglas meets her in a train station and berates her. “Is this what you want to talk about, our imaginary love affair.” Even after she reveals to him that she is pregnant, he continues to condescend and gaslight her, calling her “sick” and telling her she "needs to see a shrink”. Finally, he demands that she does not carry her pregnancy to full term because they “will have to live with this for the rest of their lives.” After my initial viewing of Fatal Attraction, I became obsessed with Douglas’ filmography, particularly his roles throughout the '80s and '90s. I noticed a pattern of him selecting roles similar to the one he played in Fatal Attraction. He belittles, patronises and invalidates the experiences of the “predatory woman” female lead, the counterpart to his “everyman” persona. As film critic Rob Edelman states in regard to Douglas’ choice in film roles: “...he personifies the contemporary Caucasian middle-to-upper class American male who finds himself the brunt of female anger because of real or imagined sexual slights.
