Too Furious

After watching the fourth "Fast and the Furious" movie that recently came out in theaters, I realized that a lot was being said about gender for both males and females. Vin Diesel and Paul Walker are shown as the big bad boys in the movie. They are shown as muscular and can work with their hands. At the end of the movie, they are shown as the heroes. The girls at the races are in tight and minimal clothing. They wear heals, and make sexual gestures to the guys.

Basically, "Fast and the Furious" said that men are supposed to be muscular, have an action-packed job, and drive fast cars. Women are supposed to wear very little and tight clothing and grope all over men. Even the two girls that are not supposed to be a part of this image (the girlfriend and sister) are always shown with a ton of cleavage. Overall, the movie was great and I enjoyed seeing Vin Diesel and Paul Walker together once again.

The END!
