Women Are Necessary Evils ? (Mis)Representation of Chandler?s Women by Hollywood
Original language description
This work discusses Hollywood's misrepresentation of Raymond Chandler's female characters in Farewell, My Lovely which has been adapted for screen in two most eminent film versions, films noir Murder, My Sweet (1944) and Farewell, My Lovely (1975). The significance of the female characters is analyzed by examining specific scenes and the cinematic techniques in these films. The article ascertains how and why these films added new dimensions, simplified and schematized the representation of women when compared to the literary source and concludes that both films reassure the male population of the 1940s and the 1970s that their masculinity will be never suppressed by any woman, and simultaneously teach the female population not to 'swim against the stream', it is not worth it.
