During this film trailer the first thing we see is a man who has six-pack, we see that all males are represented to be masculine and have to have a six-pack to look appealing to women, the use of this close up of the mans six-pack would be mainly for the female gaze, this pleases women and leads them to a false sense that all men should have this quality.
As the trailer carries on we see that men are made out to take on manly roles and jobs, they are represented to be the dominant sex as people make a path for them when they are walking, the power of riding motorbikes and leather jackets also gives them a sense of power, this suggests that all men should have a job that is dangerous and is physically demanding, this them an ideology that all men have to take on a job as a masculine roll.
in this trailer, the women are presented as the ones that seem to the the main provider for the family or couple, we see that the women are the ones that are at work, even if they are in low paid jobs, we see the balance between parenting and jobs are quite tough, we recognise this by the constant scenes of women clutching to their children/babies.
The parenting aspect of both men and women is strong by what we have seen in this trailer, the men in this are keen to support their children financially and feel they have the right to see there children, this suggests that behind the strong masculine figure that is portrayed is only a cover up to show that they do care about the idea of family and being committed, over the ways that are portrayed of being strong and manly. we also see in the trailer that that the women are all shown as a typical motherly figure, are fit in with the stereotype.
