rouletteslave -> Pop Culture Movies that contain Femdom Elements (3/15/2009 10:02:28 PM)

I'm helping my Mistress work on a bookstore section for her website and one of the things we wanted to offer was a selection of pop-culture movies that contained elements of female domination. You can look at the complete list, as well as her explanation for picking the movie under the Pop Culture tab of her bookstore.

I'm not going to reproduce everything she wrote here, but the list so far is:
Basic Instinct
Basic Instinct 2
Secretary (yes, we know it's actually male domination, but we had our reasons)
Exit to Eden
Tomcats
Whipped
Mr. and Mrs. Smith (Unrated)
The Cell
To Die For
The Avengers

We'd love to hear some of your picks.

That's a good list. There's a couple on there that I was toying with the idea of including: Batman Returns and Cruel Intentions. For me, a movie needs to have an element of role reversal to be a truly contain female dominance. In Basic Instinct, Catherine Trammel is a sexual predator who has no particular feeling or affinity for her lovers. I consider that an element of female dominance, whereas Underworld, much like The Matrix, merely contains a hot action hero in vinyl who blows away the bad guys. I can't think of anything that Seline from Underworld does that's particularly oriented towards attaining sexual use or control over her lovers.

I feel like I suggest the new Battlestar Galactica because Tricia Helfer's character is a bit reminiscent of Catherine Tramel: she's a psychotic sexual predator. I do notice the theme that these female characters are characterized as being crazy for breaking with their traditional roles. We seem to find most fem domme are simultaneously femme fatales who villainous designs will destroy the world. In that vein, a few James Bond movies contain interrogation scenes at the hand of the ruthless woman that might be worth including.

I can't think of anything Ripley does in the Alien movies that really fits the domme role. I haven't seen the first Tomb Raider movie, but I did see the Cradle of Life and was considering putting that on the list. Star Trek: First Contant is an interesting choice. That contains elements of robot bondage. I can't remember much in Mad Max: Beyond Thunderdome that suggests femdomme. I haven't seen Ultraviolet or Buffy the Vampire Slayer (except the first movie.)

A very long time ago, I saw an obscure movie, Remember My Name, with Geraldine Chaplin and Anthony Perkins.  The story was about a tough convict who gets out of prison and goes to reclaim a lover, though the lover has tried to move on to someone new.  The twist is that the woman is the convict, and her emotionally fragile lover, the man.
 
There was even a scene of her by herself, masturbating to a picture of him, while waiting to return to him.  This was years and years before the masturbation scene in Mulholland Drive.

Queen of the Damned - though the production itself was sadly lacking in scale and depth, there was the positively ethereal performance by Aaliyah, as a female creature who is more a force of nature.  Had she lived to do it, she could have been entirely compelling as She Who Must Be Obeyed, based upon Haggard's character.

A Japanese film, English title, Moonlight Whispers, originally called Gekko no Sasayaki.  A student is falling in love with the classmate who beats him up in kempo practice, and she is beginning to fall for him.  But his love is strongly bent toward desiring to be treated cruelly and dominated by the girl, whom he secretly worships fetishistically, a side to him which she begins to discover.

There's a really great interview with the director, on the disc, talking about passion and conformism, suppression of people's true identities and feelings by society, at large.

"You are the only one who understands who I am."



"If his love is to be called perverse, then let it be so, for maybe love is too great to be normal, too intense to be sane."

- from a commentary on the film, http://imdb.com/title/tt0208178/usercomments

The Last Seduction, with Linda Fiorentino - that is a hardcore femme fatale.  Now I have to watch it again.  It's been years.

I based that one on her treatment of Kraven and her relationship with Michael. He wants her; she ignores him. He tries again; she humiliates him. He gets too pushy; she knocks him on his ass. She also takes the dominant role in her relationship with Michael (remember when she handcuffs him to the table?) until she saves him and he becomes her equal. Even then, she still leads the relationship since she is the more experienced of the two.

In the first one, she takes command of the ship. A woman in command with others following her orders is the epitome of FemDom.

Lara Croft is a very dominant woman and demonstrates it throughout the movie. In Beyond Thunderdome, Tina Turner's character rules the trading post town and forces Max to fight as a gladiator. Buffy, the Movie doesn't have a lot of FemDom elements but the TV series has lots with a variety of characters from vampires, Darla and Drucilla, to Evil Witch Willow, to Buffy herself.
