Crowe

Crowe
             Jerry Maguire was introduced as a successful man who lived a wealthy life. Within the beginning of the film he was surrounded by people who loved him and where there for him. He worked with sports people and he’s responsibility was to take care of he’s clients. In one dream he realized that if he cut down he’s clients he can get closer to them and understand them as a person as well. So during that night he started to write till he felt he proved his point to why it was important to cut down clients and concentrate on each individual. The people that surrounded him felt his life was full of luck he had great friends, a wonderful life plus a great successful women around him. However, as viewer can see that as a person he was not complete he had a lot of pressure with work and his personal life.
            This film was real interesting and matched the reading perfectly. Jerry being the male role was shown as the successful powerful fear less man. Even when he lost his job he knew that everything was going to change he still did not give up he continue to fight for his job and help his one customer till he became famous. This can relate to the second sex article where it mentioned that the male rule was the primary role in society. Even in movies males are viewed as heroes and are respected. However on the other hand, both females have different roles. The first girl who was engaged with Jerry was demanding and over controlling and adventurous. She was concern on what people said she made sure to make people know that he was successful but could never survive alone. The other girl who left her job to support him seem as innocent and quiet female. She was a single mother who seem to look for love. Personally speaking, if comparing both the readings to the film one can state that the female role is still view in a negative matter. The reason why is because even though one demonstrated to have a the upper hand she was seen as crazy and simply a demanding person. At the end Jerry still made up his mind and left her. As for the other women she was seen as a sensitive person the perfect house wife the one who would help Jerry but still put up with his behavior even when he left her.
