Gender Stereotypes in Media


Million Dollar Baby

It is the story of an under-appreciated boxing trainer, his elusive past, and his quest for atonement by helping an underdog amateur female boxer (the film's title character) achieve her dream of becoming a professional.
In this movie, Clint Eastwood need to forget that Hilary Swank is a woman so that he is able to train her to be a boxer. As we can see here, the gender stereotypes is really obvious. The actor have to forget that he now train a woman to be a boxer as usually aggressive boxer is a man.

i once seen this movie before. it is about a woman who likes to boxing and train so hard with her trainer. the trainer felt the different in training her because she was a female boxer. the tension and feeling are different.
