Veronica: Trivilization

Gender roles in movies are always very typical. The male is always the strong heroic character while the woman is always in distress and needs saving in the end. In watching " Terminator" the female is portrayed as a strong individual who is trying to save her son. She fights against these inconcievable machines who are violent. She embodies this typical male character who is brave and courageous and strong whether it be minded or physically. Yet what really throws off her character role is in the end she is placd in a mental institution while trying to reveal that she was fighting machines who were trying to kill her son and take over. So inevitable the way I see it she was thrown back into the damsel in distress role by being placed in a mental institution. Heaven forbid a woman ever be depicted as a strong, courageous, brave character throughout a story to the end.
