Representation of Women in Contemporary Bangladeshi Movies

Abstract

The images of women in Bangladeshi films are traditionally drawn as a good wife or a proletarian mother, also as a part of sexuality or sexual object. In fact, sometimes they look like the virtue of sacrifice. Most importantly, most of the time, the films in Bangladesh are made with a male-dominant storyline. My aim in this research is to explore how women have been portrayed in the film. To reach my aim I have reviewed literature. However, the methodology for this study is firstly literature review. Secondly, watching some contemporary movies to understand how women characters have been depicted in those films.
