1980's

'Terminator' - (1984)


'Legend'- (1985)



'Terminator' shows the depiction of manhood, as "aggresive" and fight first think later attitude, the woman Sara is feeble and is not until O'Connor comes that she is safe, this film epitomizes the direction of representations of females was goin in the 1980's. Further reinforcing this is the film 'Legend' this shows the damsell in distress who creates chaos, when she inervertedly gets a unicorn captured and its horn chopped off she tries to do a solo misson and fix everything, unknown to herself that she is being lead in to a trap, in which the 'Dark Lord' seizes and hypnotizes her paving the way for Jake, Gump and other fairies on a mission to save not only her but the unicorn of light and life, which if killed sends the world into darkness.
