Manhattan feminism, Madonna video

June 6, 2023 Lehan Edirisinghe

<p>Flagged a late-night Manhattan scene and added a quick “also a feminist” note. Followed with a link to Madonna’s “Crazy For You.”</p>

The image is a black-and-white video frame from the film "Manhattan" (1979). It depicts a man lying in bed, partially covered by a blanket, while talking on a corded phone. The lighting is dim, suggesting a nighttime setting, with the lamp on the bedside table turned off. The room has a cozy, lived-in feel, with a bookshelf filled with books visible in the background. There's a framed poster on the wall with the name "James Ensor" visible, adding an artistic touch to the room. The man appears to be engaged in a late-night conversation, as indicated by the caption, "Yeah, well, she's very active in the feminist movement." The scene captures a moment of introspection and communication, typical of the film's thematic exploration of personal relationships.

Saying I Am Also a Feminist

I'm also a feminist.

This black-and-white video frame is from the film "Manhattan." The scene takes place in a department store, characterized by its indoor setting with cosmetic products and displays visible in the background. The image features two main characters engaged in a conversation. The man, referred to as Yale, is leaning towards the woman in a gesture that suggests intimacy or persuasion. His attire consists of a suit jacket and glasses, adding to his scholarly appearance. The woman, appearing somewhat uncomfortable, looks away from Yale. She is dressed in a formal, buttoned-up outfit, and her expression suggests reluctance or unease, in line with her dialogue telling Yale to stop.
In the background, other shoppers can be seen, contributing to the bustling atmosphere typical of a department store. The lighting is even, highlighting the emotional tension between the characters. The dialogue in the subtitles reveals a personal and possibly romantic dynamic, with Yale expressing admiration and the woman resisting his advances. This scene captures a moment of complex interpersonal interaction within the sophisticated, urban backdrop of the film.
