Mulvey Article

Because of the way this article was worded, I found it confusing. I recognized the Freud bits from a past psychology class. I don't know for what, but I know Freud was largely discredited. When was this article written? Does the author's tying in Freud work, or is she using discredited work?

This article also made me realize that there is a lot about cinema I still don't know and don't understand. I work in a movie theater, so this article makes me wonder how deep filmmakers go in their movies, and what elements of films go right over my head.
