How do the males view the movie ‘Provoked’.

If a male audience had watched this movie then their views would probably be very different. Some male would view themselves as being very dominant and superior. So their views would be that it is acceptable in our society to abuse females, and be superior towards them. Looking back to our society it can also be said that some females do see themselves as being very dominant.
However it can also be said that some males, maybe from the working class background will not accept this sort of behaviour and see it to be deviant. What this means is that some males see it to be wrong to use physical powers against a female. If a male audience did watch this then it can be seen that they will feel that Aishwarya is the protagonist in the film and they can probably identify with some males who treat there wife’s without respect.

How do females view the movie ‘Provoked’.

On the other hand if a female had seen this movie then their views would be very strong to this movie. Looking in today’s generation females are not seen anymore to be housewife’s they are seen to be independent and now share equivalent roles towards the male. Adding on to this, some females may get offended by watching this, as they are trying to show that males are seen to be superior and dominant. Some would like the fact that Aishwarya fights back and burns her husband as over here she is playing a active role, and looks up to her husband.
It can also be said that Aishwarya is seen to be very active in the film, as she may not show this. She fights back against her husband and goes to the court. Which many females will like, as she is fighting against her husband.
