From this, we aim to discuss the construction and reproduction of gender stereotypes, exploring possible relations among consumption, sexuality and images, both of masculine and feminine. Finally, it is done an analysis of double focus on the filmic narrative, discussing the social and cultural elements present within the film and how these express broader issues, intertwining the social construction of reality in the cinematography construction of values, signs and relationships between sexes.
