After class today I talked with my teacher about the different options for my research paper. I've narrowed my choices down to three movies, with a strong lead on one. They are Zoolander, Iron Man 2, and Chicago.
If I decide to do Zoolander and the corresponding shame criticism, I think I could find a lot of material for that. I might, instead of shame, do a masculinist study on how the main characters do not see themselves as being anything less than men.
For Iron Man 2, I would do a disabilities study on how Iron Man refuses to see himself as disabled, and how that ultimately hinders him more. Or alternatively, I could talk about how revealing a disability affects relationships, and Tony's fear of that reveal.
Chicago is my third option, but just as a fall back. I think I'm good to go with either of my first two options, though.
I'm watching Zoolander tonight with my mom. I'll report back when I've watched Iron Man 2.
