Jackass 3 notes (2010)

Audience- 18+

How are men represented in the film?
-tough
-maybe a bit stupid
-sometimes fearless
-loud screaming
-daring
-laughs at others pain
-not very masculine
- some of them are scared to start
- try to be brave
- iconic music to represent masculinity

*Bly theorist- (iron John) grieving over loss of masculine, deep masculinity
*Connell- trying to be a masculine man and not afraid of pain, trying to be hegemonic
they are marginalised, they are repressed and try to break free of that.
All types are shown, i.e. big build, skinny, age difference, height difference, new man and typical man, all white men.
hyper masculine- wanting to be the hegemonic male a lot.
slow motion- show the pain and how much it hurts them, they are enjoying the pain themselves.
Some men are shown to be in serious pain and crying.
