Feminist theory poster analysis

Jennifer's Body 

In this poster, it stereotypically uses a young, sexual girl wearing red color lipstick, top and heels. This symbolizes love, sex and danger. Also the film name 'Jennifer's body' sounds very sexual and is done purposely under the stereotype of the feminist perspective. A feminist would believe that the victims in the film are young attractive a sexually portrayed, however this film uses a paradigm shift to show that the woman is the killer not a man. Women are more likely to be portrayed as weak in films, however Jennifer is portrayed as extremely powerful.
The girl who is Jennifer's friend threats Jennifer telling her she will finish her and Jennifer replies "you cant even finish gym class'. This portrays women as weak and physically incapable.
