The Male Gaze Theory

The character, Jinx is sexualised an is seen as a object of desire.
The Male Gaze Theory is based of the concept of gaze which is how men look at women, how women look at themselves and how women look at other women. 

The Male Gaze Theory is applied into films by when the camera lingers on the curves of the female body and events which occur on women. The theory helps sexualize the female body and portray her as an object rather than a person. Also the theory shows that the female characters exist in relation to the male. For example in James Bond, Die Another Day the character Jinx who is played by Hally Berry is sexualized as she comes out of the sea and she works along side the main protagonist within the film.
