ACTIVITY 3

Marriage Story by Noah Baumbach – Nicole played by Scarlett Johansson

In Marriage Story, Scarlett Johansson’s character isn’t over sexualised in Marriage Story and seen as an equal to Adam Driver’s Charlie. This is shown as she wears very normal clothing such as shirts and long trousers as seen above. She is also not seen as a victim as she breaks the stereotype of the passive woman and not being gazed at, as she eventually becomes more powerful than the man (in the sense of gaining more custody of their child). Baumbach also gives her a larger role in the film as one of the leads rather than the ‘side female character’ in the film. This is shown through her large part in the film as viewed as she is on par with her ex-husband. Sexist stereotypes are also broken down as although she is still very caring and gentle, she can be as ruthless and aggressive as Charlie. This is evident as she presses for more custody of their son while also caring for Charlie after his breakdown when he is seen as the more fragile one (as seen below).

Even after this, neither person is to blame for the divorce and so this once again gives both male and female lead equal responsibility, adding to a more female-centric approach.
