Chapter Four---What brought about this radical romance?

Chapter four talks about how politics came into play with some of the late 1960s movies and 1970s films. This chapter actually relates to the first article we got called, "Politics of Culture". Everything we do is influenced, "in my opinion" by something or someone. Tamar McDonald goes into details about several movies that reflect the rise of radical romance. One of the topics she discusses deals with women coming into the masculine role. Women are not just in survival mode. Women are actually taking a stand to worry about themselves. The 1970s was also a period that invloved women who went about things nontraditionally. If they wanted just sex, that's what they got. It was no longer about a connection. She then  draws evidence about the "self-reflexivity" theory. She dissects the movie, Annie Hall and My Best Friend's Wedding. I didn't see all of Annie Hall, but My Best Friend's Wedding was a great movie. I do remember Julia Roberts trying to postpone the wedding, but it didn't work. Her other friend, Rupert Everett, is gay, but seems to be there when she falls. Confused and hurt, she accepts the way things now are. Her radical romance ended when she didn't get THE guy at all.
