Abstract

In some films, gender exchange occurs; that is, the deeds of one gender are represented in the film as the deeds of the other gender. With the development of film art and the rise of feminism, people are increasingly concerned about the relationship between feminism and film, but the phenomenon of gender exchange has not been given enough attention and academic research. Based on feminist perspectives and film theory, this paper will explore the negative aspects of gender exchange in film and television (one is to let male actors perform the good deeds of women, and the other is to let actresses perform the bad behaviors of men). This study analyzed the reasons for this phenomenon. Through the research, it can be found that this phenomenon is mostly due to stereotypes, social expectations and other factors, and this study will discuss how to fight this phenomenon from both sociological and cinematic perspectives by eliminating stereotypes and encouraging more feminist directors to enter the film industry.
