Comparative Intro Draft
Masculinity in Film has been present throughout mediums existence and has had multiple variations in history, one example of this would be in Full Metal Jacket, directed in 1987 by Stanley Kubrick, the story follows Davis, a private in the United States Marine Corps as he goes through basic training and his subsequent deployment to Vietnam during the Vietnam War. One character that shows this trait of masculinity is the character of Gunnery Sergeant Hartman, In the movie Hartman is presented as cruel, brute and sadistic. This corroborates with the character of Terrence Fletcher in Damien Chazelle’s Whiplash (2014), where Fletcher is a teacher at a prestige music academy and often torments and frequently pushes them too far. Both characters in their respective movies are used to drive the narrative forward, with Hartman trying to ready the recruits for the harsh reality of Vietnam and Fletcher with his belief that musicians need to be pushed beyond their bounds. Both characters share traits that are considered ‘masculine’ and both of them are in positions of authority, so I decided to ask how much does the authoritarian masculinity of Fletcher from Whiplash and Hartman from Full Metal Jacket to drive the narrative.
Film Focus for Comparative Study
The Focus of my comparative study will be from the film theory of Masculinity, and I will be asking the question: ‘How much does the authoritarian masculinity of Fletcher from Whiplash and Hartman from Full Metal Jacket to drive the narrative.
