Feminist Analysis
Mulveys - Voyeuristic Objectification- Male audience will feel pleasure by looking at Stacy's mom.
The camera shots guides us to look at her body - above is an example of when Voyeuristic Objectification takes place.
Below is another example of Voyeuristic Objectification as the shots of the mom's skirt are showing us what the boy is seeing through his eyes.
Cultivation Theory - We see the mother as a sex object throughout the video, even when she is cleaning up in the kitchen, it still focused on how good she is looking. Below is an example of this from the music video.
Post-Feminist Analysis
Men are victims of their own desire, weakens them and gives women power over them. An example of this from the music video is that the mom is not trying to impress the boy, its just his own desires and feelings for her.
Therefore it is not degrading women-not realist, just entertainment and comedy that a young boy fancies the mother - who is much older - and not the actual girl. Above is an example of this.
Narcissistic Identification
- The audience would not want to be like the boy in the music video as he gets caught masturbating which is embarrassing and uncomfortable- Also, the woman is living her ordinary, everyday life, however the boy just fancies her.
Personal Opinion: Is this music video Sexist? Dangers? Censorship/Regulation? - Restricted scheduling? Banned?, Where?, How?
I don't think this music video should be banned, as it is suppose to be funny and people should realise that, people shouldn't be sexist about it. In my opinion, this music video should be shown after 6/7pm just because of the sexual imagery of the mother, as i don't think it would be suitable for a young child aged 10 and under.
Dangers - The main danger of this music video is that it may put pressure on girl to look like 'Stacy's mom' and conform to ideas of 'sexiness'. However some women may realise its a funny music video so they may find it funny and not desire to conform.
Degrading to Women - When the mum is pole dancing it portrays women as servants, 'whore', strippers. They are exploited but made 'sexy'
I like to see young gils say, about ten or eleven becomming aoused
ReplyDeletewhile they watch their mom's sexy acts hoping to make themselves hot between their thigh's ,or in the case of the son wanking off,which is quite a natural thing to do with no shame attached.
