How insufferable they can be, actress, director and screenplay writer Lena Dunham does not hesitate to create characters which – like in everyday life – have selfish moments, annoying, and have nasty traits. Dunham as breaks (Hannah Horvath in Girls) with the traditional portrayal of women in television. She presents real ‘girls’ as Marnie (Allison Williams), Jessa (Jemima Kirke) and Shoshanna (Zosia Mamet). These girls have really known amorous desires and hidden pasts. But unlike series Sex And The City , Gossip Girl and The OC they will not be driven.
typetjes
Dunham is trying to redefine the woman in her work, and thus state Girls contradicts the cliché for a family desirous dimensional impersonations we know from real life soap operas on MTV and TLC. These are series that precisely the “authenticity” of endorsing the daily life but few succeed. For where Dunham in her fiction series Girls shows the diversity of life seem all that real-life soap operas together. By staying close to herself and her environment, Dunham adds to a repositioning of women on television. Such repositioning is associated with a degree of realism. New York’s twentysomethings are not all equally understanding. Dunham combines classic female beauty – think Hollywood red carpets – with all sorts of unusual features. Characters use drugs and vomit. These are characteristics that are traditionally not associated with women.
Passive beings
With her series she fights those values and the image of the morally healthy woman . A woman who has managed to refrain from acts (sexual) that lead to moral bankruptcy. It is reminiscent of the Final Girl from movies like Nightmare On Elm Street . The woman who ‘wins’ the handsome snooty bitch who absolutely do not identify with the plebs. Think of the sex curious Christina vs. the ‘sensible’ Nancy in Nightmare On Elm Street . According to these guidelines, the woman either thoughtfully either impulsive. Or think of the great Hollywood tradition of women as passive beings especially assist their spouse or lover. Remember the soft focus close-ups of Ingrid Bergman in Casablanca and the look on the bare long legs of Lana Turner in The Postman Always Rings Twice . The perfect woman serves no other purpose than the – mainly male – viewers to please. Theorists like Carol J. Clover and Laura Mulvey however think otherwise. It was Clover that the Final Girl and described Mulvey in her essay revealed how we men casually staring at beautiful women in movies.
oral sex
These are the sources of inspiration for Dunham, so it seems. Because in the world may Dunhams woman and attractive, and dowdy, and sexually active, and intelligent, and silly, and unattractive. Without the woman immediately a predicate gets printed or is accused of immorality. That veil of wealth, we know from Hollywood is fierce snatched. All palettes are shown of life, as did recently aired last episode of the fourth season of Girls see. Dunham leave here Caroline (Gaby Hoffman), pregnant with the ex-junkie Laird (Jon Glaser) without generating fully nude in bath show. It’s a scene that in no way aims to highlight the beauty of women. No, Caroline is an obstinate type, they want to give birth at home in the bath and its surroundings, after her beloved, this does not sit. Containing nudity, combined with her contrariness, makes the scene even more uncomfortable. It is a technique that Dunham often favored, as earlier in the season when Marnie one for the viewer may undergo unusual way of oral sex. Her boyfriend Desi (Ebon Moss-Bachrach) asks her if she enjoys it, she nods doubtfully. From her glance it appears that they especially do for him.
flawed songwriter
For example, repeatedly emphasizes that Girls not Friends or How I Met Your Mother . No, Girls is not all good and not all characters are coated with a sugar coating. No, not great coffee, great restaurants and interesting people, but the reality in which the narcissistic Hannah during her studies in Iowa, far from the gentrification in Brooklyn, by her classmates highlighted its lack of perseverance. Girls are dreams and ambitions are not always reality. Marnie is a flawed songwriter in a stormy relationship, Shoshanna is a naive professional, surprised that she is never adopted, Jessa is a self-destructive, rudderless meteorite and Hannah cares mainly for Marnie herself at the same time is a gifted singer, Shoshanna is well-read, Jessa is empathic and Hannah a talented writer.
Men
And the men? There goes “crazy enough” actually the same. Perhaps you would expect that a woman is more “square” male characters writes. This is shown at no time be the case. Adam struggles with his acting career and his idiosyncratic traits is a sincere man. Ray is one of the most eloquent characters from the series, but spends his days as manager of a coffee shop. When it offers a potential political career solace. So everyone is on the move, and Girls is not only a series in which the characters have depth, but also a series in which the dynamic world is imitated. The conclusion is simple, more female television and film writers like, just like in the early days of film history!
