Appendix 3.2: Sample films - synopses and character lists
Goldfinger uκ 64
gadgetry to such a degree that the intention of an ironic
excess on the part of the film’s producers is hard to miss.
Masculine potency is thus emphasised to the point where the
film’s fantasy is not only spectacular but also self conscious
- a kind of pre-post-modern extravaganza. Various oppositions
- activity and passivity, dominance and subjection,
masculinity and femininity - are deployed with intriguing
complexity and considerable wit around the film's
representations of class, race and gender. The film, like
many other fairy stories, is about sexuality (male) and power,
and sometimes about the interactions between the two, though
the latter is, I think, a minor element.
