The media I will be analyzing is the movie The Longest Ride. In this post I will be outlining the stereotypical gender roles given to us by the sex role perspective portrayed in the film by the two main characters, Luke and Sophia.
Luke:
- Luke is a professional bull rider, a very masculine sport. He is portrayed as very athletic and brave for doing this.
- Luke is very assertive, he asks Sophia on many dates and is very consistent
- Luke acts as a leader and a hero, he saves Ira from dying in a car accident
- Luke is extremely competitive and ambitious with bull riding, throughout the movie he is working to become in the top 5 bull riders in the world.
Sophia:
- Sophia is in a sorority
- Does not use harsh language, very soft spoken
- Sophia doesn’t call Luke back right away, she doesn’t want to seem desperate.
- Gentle with Ira
- She is very warm, sensitive, and understanding
