The initial line of "Did you see the way those guys looked at us" is used in an ironic way my commenting on the way men view women and at the same time comment on how women choose to represent themselves. The female in this film is a typical blonde stereotype and a barbie portrayal. Additionally she is wearing revealing clothing and is a female that is seen to take care of her external image.
The women are seen to fit into a male dominated society. It is also a female that is kidnapped which in it self undermines women and their capabilities to defend themselves.
Throughout the film the women maintain a pristine external image even though realistically this would be strategically impossible. The men are seen get muddy while the women are clean. Which therefore supports the fact that the women are merely serve a duty of being sexual objects and a viewing pleasure.
Another example is the above image showing a female undressing. It supports the male viewing eye because it focusing on an attractive female undressing and not the males underessing. As well as the camera lingering on the curves and body of the female highlighting the typical hips to waist ratio which are key features that men consider when finding a woman attractive and there have also been correlations hinting that perfect hourglass shapes can be linked to fertility. Therefore judging this image from a males perspective it is as though they are fantasying about spreading their genetic information far and wide.
This image is also showing another example of the camera and costume highlighting the typical mid riff which applies to the hips to waist ratio and what men find attractive. Clear skin, plentiful hair, and youthfulness in evolutionary terms are all signs of fertility. This may be a reason for the male gaze and why these are the common feature that are advertised.
The females are also portrayed as rather stupid. The following image here shows the typical barbie like character throwing a flammable liquid into a burning fire, thus creating an explosion. This undermines a woman's intelligence and puts them at a lower status to the males, it also hints that in order to survive they need to be looked after and in the care of an intelligent male so they are prevented from doing stupid things such as these.
