Tough Guise: Violence, Media and the Crisis in Masculinity (1999)

An American documentary directed by Sut Jhally, starring Jackson Katz.
The narrator examines the question of why violence is a decidedly male problem by examining how the media portrays men.
After the Final Fantasy anime with gender role reversals, I have been doing research into that subject. The information that has been turned up by this is vague, but prolific. When men are portrayed as men in media, they use strength to hurt others. This film agrees with that statement and, as most documentaries, gives little answer to the deeep questions of the matter being discussed. It was long on analysis, evaluation and appraisal, but short on answers and solutions. It was very well-made though. The audio and video from countless clips was all even and all of the video looked top quality. The narration was thoughtful and eloquent. I rate it adequate. You should watch this if you like documentaries and have unanswered questions about gender roles (which will remain unanswered at the end of the film).
