Abstract

This study analyzes the 2017 film Wonder Woman through Judith Butler’s theory of gender performativity to explore how the narrative challenges patriarchal norms and redefines women’s roles in society. Using a feminist lens, the analysis highlights Diana’s experiences as she navigates contrasting gender expectations between Themyscira and patriarchal London. The study produces three key findings: 1) Diana’s resistance to restrictive social roles and clothing illustrates Butler’s view that gender is performed rather than innate; 2) her alienation within patriarchal London reflects the instability of gender identity when confronted with rigid societal norms; and 3) the solidarity between Diana and other women underscores Butler’s emphasis on collective resistance against oppressive structures. Ultimately, Wonder Woman emerges as a cultural text that embodies feminist ideals, inspiring new perspectives on empowerment, identity, and the reimagining of gender roles in modern society.

Abstract

This article examines Gladiator II (2024) through the lens of Karl Marx’s theory of class struggle. Using textual and thematic analysis, the study explores how the film portrays structural inequality, labor exploitation, and the emergence of resistance within ancient Roman society. The findings indicate three key results: 1) the depiction of slavery and gladiatorial combat embodies Marx’s concept of commodification of labor, revealing the economic foundations of Roman spectacle. 2), the transformation of Lucius Verus illustrates the development of class consciousness, shifting from individual survival to collective solidarity. 3), the film’s portrayal of Rome’s decline demonstrates historical materialism, showing how contradictions in production and power relations lead to social revolution. These insights position Gladiator II not merely as entertainment but as a cultural text that critiques systemic oppression and mirrors contemporary issues such as inequality, corruption, and political dominance. By employing Marxist criticism, the study affirms the relevance of class struggle as both a historical and modern narrative.

Abstract

This study aims to show Neocolonialism in the movie "Black Panther: Wakanda Forever," employing the analytical framework of Marxism by Karl Marx and complemented by Foucault's theory of Power. The analysis unveils the disapproval of neocolonialism from Karl Marx's perspective through an in-depth exploration of the movie. The visual composition of the cinematography is conveyed along with the analysis of the movie. Embracing the Marxist approach, this study investigates the neocolonialism caused by external powers’ interest in the movie that has divided people even between social classes: Underwater Kingdom vs Wakanda. Three primary outcomes of neocolonialism emerge: 1) Resource Exploitation and Expansion (Namor): Namor, as the king of Sea peoples, represents the pursuit of expanding a powerful and resource-rich kingdom's interests. His actions could mirror neocolonial tendencies by seeking to control and exploit resources beyond his own nation's borders by any means: coercive, persuasive, or by force, mirroring neocolonizers. 2) Technological Protection and Resistance (Shuri): Shuri embodies the spirit of resistance against neocolonialism through her efforts to safeguard Wakanda's advanced technology. Her actions reflect a determination to prevent the appropriation of Wakanda's innovations by external forces, thereby preserving the nation's sovereignty and preventing technological exploitation. 3) Liberation and Ideological Influence (Erik Killmonger): While not physically present, Killmonger's legacy influences the resistance perspective. His radical ideals of liberating oppressed communities using Wakanda's resources align with resistance's goals, highlighting the potential outcome of neocolonialism where powerful nations may manipulate resources to advance their ideological interests.
