This clip from Cairo Station sums up the plot of the movie and portrays the roles within it. I never focused on the quality of these movies growing up, they all looked similar to me but now I can say that this film is a beautiful master piece of Arab Cinema. It is beautifully shot and produced. The script is witty and interesting. The role of women in this film is interesting. There is objectification of women from Youssef Chahine’s character but Hend Rostom’s character is a strong well-rounded one, who is clever and isn’t a pushover. Her character uses her beauty to her advantage rather than be only be objectified for it.

Does Female Gaze exists?

From my understanding, the “gaze” is all about how the viewers engage with the media they perceive visually. The visuals with the “gaze” concept is apparent in advertising, cinema, and TV shows. Mostly in critics, people tend to refer more to the “male gaze”, on how they see the female and how they frame it. The male gaze is mostly about sexual looking that makes women portrayed as objects. This male gaze makes women’s feelings, look, and character framed by the male way of looking and desires.

Laura Mulvey described the “male gaze” in her article “Visual Pleasure and Narrative Cinema” mostly as sexual and masculine gaze. The “male gaze” is mostly viewed as controlling of what women look like and act like which was seen clearly in some movies with the camera movement and how it looks to women’s body, like the “Postman always rings” – 1946 movie that is known for the way women were shot in movies with a sexual perspective that makes audience, regardless of their interest, see the actress sexy and appealing. Also, in the Egyptian movies of same era, Hend Rostom was shot in movies with respond to masculine voyeurism. Hend Rostom was widely known for being sexy women who comes out of the film screen in 1950’s as a true example for the “male gaze”, where she was acting, talking, and thinking in the shadow of the protagonist. Even women from the surrounding in the movies, was acting and looking to her from sexual male gaze perspective. Women like Hend Rostom were charachterised by their “ to-be-looked-at-ness” in the movies from long time until today.

In the example from movies’ scene for Hend Rostom, you could see clearly that most of the acting was sexually attributed not normal kind of acting or related to the conversation that is being held between the protagonist and Hend Rostom. As for the masculine voyeurism sexualize Hend Rostom for the male viewers.

One of the famous directors of classis westerns during 1950’s said; “what counts is the heroine provokes, or rather what she represents. She is the one, or rather the love or fear she inspires in the hero, or else the concern he feels for her, who makes him act the way he does. In herself the women has not the slightest importance.” This quote shows clearly how the male gaze affects the cinema in the role playing and the making of the story plot.

Nowadays, we can see movies showing the other point of view “ female gaze”, like the movies starring Jennifer Lopez; “ the boy next door”. In that movie, Lopez plays a role of a women who noticed how nice looking her youth neighbor looks and have the “female gaze”, where the actions of the protagonist seemed to be viewed from female sexual point of view. However, this does not last long, and longer parts of the movie shows the “male gaze” where Lopez was shown from the masculine voyeurism and her body was objectified in the movie.

Male Gaze In Golden age of Egyptian Cinema

For this essay, I chose to write about Hend Rostom, who is an iconic Egyptian actress known as ‘ The Arab Marlyn Monoroe’ as I found her work to be the best embodiment of male gaze in the golden age of Egyptian Cinema. While many of her roles portrayed her in the role of a seductive enchantress capable of bewitching any man into getting her way, I chose some frames from one particular visually interesting movie called ‘Battle on the Nile’ for a closer look.

The movie tells the story of a journey to purchase a new boat, by two main sailors Megahed (Roshdy Abaza) and Mehasseb (Omar El Sharif). Megahed is a very mature and smart sailor, therefore he is also asked to take along Mehasseb, a younger less mature guy, who is the son of the new boat owner to teach him how to sail. On their way, their paths cross that of Narjis (Hend Rostom), who is a belly dancer hired by the competitors of the boat owner to steal the money of the new boat and prevent this sale. To do this, Narjis tricks simple minded Mehasseb into falling in love with her and officially marrying her so that she gets to ride with them and is able to have access to the funds to steal. As the events of the movie escalate, Narjis and Megahed find themselves falling in love together, despite the moral and ethical dilemma of her marriage to Mehasseb’s the son of Megahed’s boss. Yet when she admits her love to Megahed and willingness to divorce Mehasseb, Megahed refuses to marry her and a Narjis’ enemy appears to raid the boat and instead of killing Megahed, Narjis dies.

From the plot, we can identify the male gaze, where in order to be able to steal the funds, Narjis’ was used as a bait and object to trick the men on the boat into surrendering their funds, to the extent of marriage to the simple and less experienced Mehasseb. Therefore, the first 2 frames I chose during the dance that Narjis performed on the boat to the sailors, when Mehasseb convinced Megahed to let her ride with them. In her frame, we can clearly see how as a woman the camera is looking at objectifying her female figure. Where Narjis is looking away from the camera and her head is titlted down, only to have the camera focus on her revealed body. In contrast, the second frame shows how the simple Mehasseb is closely watching the dance, sitting in a more relaxed posed with his eyes focused towards Narjis and in line with the camera.

The second set of frames from this movie that I chose are from the scene where Narjis admitted to Megahed that she is in love with him and that she is willing to be divorced from Mehasseb if she can be with him. In this scene, the way the camera is shooting Narjis vs. Megahed is clearly in line with male gaze concept. Where in the scene where Narjis was talking the camera never met her eyes, her face was not positioned in the third of the frame, she is positioned with an angle to the camera and she was not in focus. In comparison with the scene where Megahed’s reaction became the focus of the camera, we can clearly see, that the sum of his face is accurately set in the third of the frame, he is in more focus, his eyes are directly meeting the camera. Rule of thirds, focus and angle of the eye are three of the most important visual tools in order for the camera to identify the main protagonist of the frame. And by applying these tools to these 2 frames, we can clearly identify the filmmaker’s perception of the main protagonist and decision maker.

To conclude, this movie ‘ Conflict in the nile’, is a great example of male gaze application in the Egyptian Cinema. Starting with the plot that utilizes the only woman featured in its mostly male cast, as a tool for revenge and a mean to steal the funds, to the way that Narjis as a woman and belly dancer is portrayed to be using herself, her body, her wit and her humor to trick the simple Mehasseb into marrying her and finally, to not only be rejected by the morale and more decent Megahed that she has come to love in favour of honour and rightenous but also sacrificing her life to save his from the enemies at the end of the movie. The position of the camera, the intentional tilt in most of the scenes where Narjis is the protagonist of the frame and the contrast between her frames and those of Mehasseb or Megahed within the same scene highlights the patriarchal dominated ideology, where the men need always be the main heros and the women are only capable of playing the supporting roles in everyday life.

Propaganda

Hend Rostom (Cairo Station, Eshaat Hob)— Egyptian movie star called the "Marilyn Monroe of the East", need anyone say more

Gwen Verdon (Damn Yankees)— Gwen Verdon's performance as Lola in Damn Yankees opposite fallen hottie sacrifice Tab Hunter is legitimately one of my favorite performances ever done, especially in the number Whatever Lola Wants, Lola Gets. Damn Yankees is about a guy selling his soul for the Yankees to win a World Series, and Lola is the sexy demon who brokers the deal. Unfortunately, while Lola is played by Gwen Verdon and is therefore a complete and utter smoke show, Lola is also a demon and is not human, meaning she knows what sexy is and how it should kind of be performed, but some of the other nuances of seducing a man into selling his soul are a bit lost on her. Luckily for Lola, Gwen Verdon is a comic genius so it's still great. If you are attracted to weird little guys you are going to love this. Also, kudos to my man Tab, who in this scene legitimately just seems to be a bewildered guy who likes the Yankees. She also taught like a bunch of other members of the bracket dance. Her wikipedia page is crazy. Her second husband was Bob Fosse and they did a bunch of choreography together. [video below the cut]

This is round 1 of the tournament. All other polls in this bracket can be found here. Please reblog with further support of your beloved hot sexy vintage woman.

[additional propaganda submitted under the cut]

Hend Rostrom:

Gwen Verdon:

youtube

The only propaganda that this woman really needs, is her dancing, sadly there isn't a ton of her on YouTube as she mostly stuck to Broadway musicals. But here she is dancing the insane Who's Got The Pain with her lover/soon-to-be husband Bob Fosse.

youtube

She was Fosse's muse, and it's not hard to see why. She had an electric quality to her dancing that's hard to emulate. Hard to believe she had rickets as a kid. Not very sexy to suffer from rickets as a child, but to overcome that and become a famous dancer? Sexy as hell. She actually quit dancing when she got pregnant at only seventeen. But she was able to get back into it after a few years, playing small ensemble parts. The opening performance of her first big role on Broadway garnered her huge amounts of praise, and she even won a Tony. She also had a huge hand in helping Bob Fosse with choreographing some of his more famous shows, and she left an indelible mark on dancing history. Her influence can still be seen today, and damn if that isn't hella sexy.
