If you’re interested in thoughtful commentaries on how men and the male experience are portrayed in the movies, I would recommend having a look at a website called Masculinity-Movies.com. I encountered the site today during a search for commentaries on The Last Samurai (a very moving film about which I may comment further in a later post) and found myself very favorably impressed by what I saw.
This endeavor by website founder Eivind Figenschau Skjellum and his fellow contributors is ambitious in its scope and, from what I’ve seen so far, consistent in both the quality of information presented and the approach taken with the movies and other material chosen for inclusion on the site.
Masculinity-Movies.com is a great resource for anyone interested in an insightful exploration of the expression of masculine psychology, themes, and experience in the cinema, and I hope folks will check it out.
