Theorists

Laura Mulvey
One of the theorists I will use will be Laura Mulvey. Her theory suggests that women and men both gaze upon one another in sexual context. It is normally the male who is gazing upon the female, and in Resident Evil Extinction this is what attracts some of the male audience.

Levi Strauss
Another theorist I will use is Levi Strauss whose theory is all about binary opposition or opposites. This is true in REE as normally it is a male who is the dominant character in action films and a woman whom takes up the passive role, but in REE it’s a woman Milla Jovovich who is the active and main character.
