Má bakalářská práce se zaměřuje na opomíjené role žen ve filmech Martina Scorseseho jež pojednávají převážně o životech mužů dominantního postavení. Práce má za cíl analyzovat vyobrazení ženských postav v kontrastu s maskulinním světem filmu. Zejména pak reprezentace žen v bezútěšném životě Italsko-Americké mafie znázorněné ve filmech Scorseseho. Práce zahrnuje analýzu ženských postav v rolích matek, manželek a milenek Italsko-Amerických členů mafie. Tyto role jsou zkoumány v následujících filmech: Zuřící býk (1980), Mafiáni (1990) a Casino (1995). K rozboru jsou využity scénáře zmíněných filmů jež slouží k následnému posouzení zda Scorsese ženám dodává roli individualizovaného subjektu či je pouze ponechává v roli oběti. Práce rovněž ve stručnosti nabízí souhrn rolí žen v Italsko-Amerických domácnostech a také ve strukturách organizovaného zločinu.
Annotation in English
My thesis focuses on the neglected role of women in the male dominated world of the films by Martin Scorsese. It aims to analyze the portrayal of female characters in contrast to the machismo of the protagonists. Mainly I work with the depiction of women in the brutal world of Italian-American mafia portrayed in Scorsese's films. I analyze the depiction of women as wives, mothers and mistresses of the Italian-American mobsters. My thesis concerns this depiction of women in the following films: Raging Bull (1980), Goodfellas (1990) and Casino (1995). I work with the scripts of these films to try to determine whether Scorsese empowers women at all or shows them as mere victims and objects. My thesis also briefly covers the role of the women in Italian-American households as well as in the structures of organized crime syndicates.
