For this essay, I would like it written about monstrous femininity within horror films: specifically films such as Jennifer’s Body, Psycho, Orphan and Carrie. This has fairly free range but I want it to discuss how female characters are portrayed and how the femininity, potential repression of trauma, emotions, sexuality and etc. are influential. I have attached some sources to tie in, you do not have to take every part but would be worth sourcing a few parts of it. The female archetype/lead character and how they utilize or oppose their femininity within films

“The Things You Gotta Remember Are the Details”: Reservoir Dogs and the Fragility of Memory and Meaning in the Nineties…

A comparative essay examining “Blade Runner” and “Ghost in the Shell”  delving into the
shared themes but differing stylistic approaches of these works of science fiction cinema. Both
films are set in dystopian futures where technology has deeply intertwined with humanity,
blurring the lines between the organic and the artificial. One central theme would be the
exploration of identity in an era of technological advancement. “Blade Runner” portrays a world
where ‘replicants’ question their own humanity and seek to extend their limited lifespan.
Similarly, “Ghost in the Shell” grapples with questions of identity in a cybernetic age, where
characters have cybernetic enhancements and the distinction between human consciousness and
artificial intelligence becomes increasingly blurred.
Furthermore, both films invite viewers to contemplate the ethical implications of
technological progress, particularly in terms of autonomy, agency, and the nature of
consciousness. The essay could explore how these themes are manifested through the characters’
interactions with their environment and with each other. Additionally, the visual and stylistic
differences between the two films offer rich material for analysis. “Blade Runner” is renowned
for its noir-inspired aesthetic and dystopian cityscapes, while “Ghost in the Shell” features
intricate cyberpunk visuals and philosophical dialogue. Overall, an essay comparing “Blade
Runner” and “Ghost in the Shell” would offer a nuanced take on how these films engage with
questions of identity, technology, and humanity, while also considering their distinct narrative
and stylistic approaches.
