Kampanye Gerakan Sosial Terhadap Isu Kesetaraan Gender Melalui Film Di Amerika Serikat Periode 2019 -2021
Keywords:
Kesetaraan gender, Gerakan Sosial, Amerika SerikatAbstract
This study presents a campaign on gender equality issues in American films through film observation using gender as a perspective in international relations, focusing on three films: Captain Marvel (2019), Wonder Woman 1984 (2020), and Reign of Superwomen (2021) as films that contain representations of gender issues in American cinema during the period of 2019-2021. Gender studies and film theory provide a framework for analyzing gender representations in films and understanding their significance. Based on the gender equality issues occurring in the United States, this drives a social movement reflected in the perspectives of women who work behind the scenes in filmmaking, encompassing women's experiences related to gender social injustices.
