“Dumb movies for a Dumb people” (Yvonne Tasker – 1993)
• The genre is marketed at a predominantly young, passive audience – stereotypically male (Hartley) - who get great excitement from watching adrenaline pumping action.
• The narrative is simplistic – single stranded and closed – conforming to Todorov’s 3 part narrative.
• The characters are often one dimensional stereotypes that reflect stereotypical social views – for example Men are strong, women are weak..

Do you agree?
