Women in Prison Movies
Women in Prison Movies
Robert Meeks
Hoses, handcuffs, chains, the ingredients needed an emergency response team?
No, just some of the possible ingredients in any good women in prison (WIP) to remove. For this, we can add shower scenes, spanking, baton blows, sweat, nudity … oh, and let's not forget all the important scenes lesbians.
WIP films have a certain charm to them, are frankly our fantasies of taboo sexual abuse and imprisonment of women brought to the screen for our enjoyment. Let's face it we enjoy the fantasy of being able to imprison a woman (too many men practice this today in what we call bad marriages), tie in his arms, the strip naked, washing, see squirm in the mud, and her and another woman to fulfill the wishes of the other sex.
In many parts of the world, supposedly, this type of treatment It is against the law (apparently abusive marriages are not, however). Enter the third world nation.
Oppressive regimes and banana republics have been fodder (and well deserved) for the plots of many films WIP. There is a reason many: a) tropical, if not hot and sweaty, are ideal places for women working in the nude, 2) as often depicted republics are small, not on any map, nations, filmmakers can have complete freedom with history, even having a dictatorship overthrown, and 3) is that it is an oppressive regime, the heroine of the film could very well be in jail false charges, which supposedly most sympathetic to their struggle, and 4) and that is a third world country, participants to be a relatively comfortable style of life in comparison, who cares about them? (That part is sad)
Despite the popularity of the parcels involved in third world countries in the movies WIP, which have not completely cornered the market, as many WIP films have been based in the United States or other relevant countries as well. Regardless of configuration WIP's film, there are elements that most if not all have in common between the diversity of their plots (well, I laughed myself, damn near to death also when I say diversity).
If you look at the plots of several films of different WIP, although we can see different fillings parcels, we can discover elements of the plot almost generic shared by many.
Heroin: The main character in the film's main target WIP history. Despite that may or may not be imprisoned under false pretenses, regarless of the reason for his imprisonment, his is a just cause. He took us to sympathize with her character one of several Possible reasons:
1) She is an innocent (if she is guilty of a crime or not) that started in a cruel system.
2) She is a veteran of the system, however, has not come to her as it is the other and use their expertise to fight the system or to protect others in the system.
3) She is a plant, either by the government, the revolutionaries, or independent contractors in search of corruption in the system or to overthrow a government.
The System: The plot most universal element WIP movie is that the system is always corrupt. Regardless of any political message or not (and, frankly, very hard to try to find a) the system is always worse than any of the prisoners that is based sympathy for the characters despite how bad they are.
Antagonist: I think we can universally have the security and the use of the word BITCH here. Although the antagonists in a WIP film everything can be a guard or guards, there is almost always a female character, which may be out to get the heroin, or is in cahoots with an authority figure. There is a degree of poetic justice that comes in a film such as WIP, no matter how much of a bitch is the antagonist, she always get what comes to her in the end (uh. .. not literally).
The Mentor: Important for any movie imprisonment, if it comes to women in prison or not, is the prisoner who has been around, often a prisoner for life, however, has not been corrupted by the system. A often have a desire to see someone give a system, or perhaps have a score to settle with a guardian. No matter what drives them, they are willing to make sacrifices heroin to help his cause, and have the satisfaction of knowing what they did, or die with the knowledge of the system have given the finger.
The Innocent: Although the characters are portrayed to live in a women's prison, a universal plot is to have a prisoner who is almost childlike and needs protection someone else. This element serves not only to the impact of a degree of sympathy for the cause of the face eh … good, but also further defines how bad the bad can be what almost certainly violate the innocent.
The supporter: Regardless of how bad everyone else in a position of authority is, it must be a person who understands the plight of prisoners. The supporter is someone who either works in jail or have a purpose in prison and is in a position to help heroin. Often, the supporter is a doctor. For some reason, the writers believe WIP movie that doctors are good people, but obviously have not spent much time around a hospital.
The cause: Central to all the movies, and movies WIP is no exception, is one reason why the plot has to be. Maybe make movies WIP blatant use of this element more blatantly than other genres film. In a WIP film, there is an underlying cause of why the heroine, and her supporters should do what they have to do, if to be punishing a warden and guards unfair or overthrow a corrupt dictator of the Third World.
The Final Conflict: WIP movies, any movie, you must have a climax (now please take his mind from the gutter). There must be some kind of confrontation, escape from prison, or the overthrow of an authority figure. This satified desire of spectators that had a purpose to the cause at hand. Antagonists than are killed or imprisoned yes, the most gratifying to the celebration.
Yes, films WIP share several elements to each other, but in reality are no different in the basic plot than any other film. In any movie, we protagonists, antagonists, ancillary characters support a cause, and the climax one. In case of WIP films up the ante is in no sense adding nudity and lesbianism that afforementioned even without the ingredients is more than enough to satisfy many viewers alone.
