Abstract
According to read Laura Mulvey's Visual Pleasure and Narrative Cinema, we find that the article uses a psychoanalytic approach to discover where and how cinema's charisma is reinforced by many pre-existing charismatic patterns. These charismatic patterns have long acted on the individual subjects as well as the social constituents that shape it. This paper provides an overview of the Laura's analysis,which is about how cinema interprets gendered differences in modern social contexts, aslo offers the author’s opinion of Freud's view on the sexual instinct.Admiring the film is more worthwhile than we suppose,for it has deeper concepts by director’s exquisite and superb techniques.
