Abstract
The Classical Hollywood Cinema stands as one of the most important periods in film history, during which films transitioned from silent to sound and developed distinctive visual and narrative styles of filmmaking. Similarly, the element of storytelling became a powerful tool in capturing viewers´ attention, as well as influencing their understanding and view of life and human relationships. Films from that era had specific ways of portraying different characters, especially those of women. The dumb blonde, femme fatale and the screwball heroine are among some of the most prominent female representations of classical Hollywood and have ever since been subject of analysis for numerous film theorists and feminists. They have influenced both the audience and the way women are shown in films today. The three mentioned representations of women were the focus of analysis in this master’s thesis, which was based on various academic research and three case studies of films from that era. The dumb blonde was analysed through the movie Some Like It Hot (1959), femme fatale was closely examined in the movie Vertigo (1958) and the screwball heroine was further investigated through the case study of His Girl Friday (1940).
Abstract (croatian)
Razdoblje klasičnog holivudskog filma jedno je od najvažnijih u povijesti filma, tijekom kojeg su filmovi prelazili s nijemih na zvučne te razvijali osebujne vizualne i narativne stilove snimanja. Slično tome, element pripovijedanja postao je moćno oruđe u zaokupljanju pozornosti gledatelja, kao i utjecanju na njihovo razumijevanje i pogled na život i međuljudske odnose. Filmovi tog razdoblja imali su specifične načine prikazivanja različitih likova, posebice žena. Glupa plavuša, fatalna žena i screwball junakinja među nekim su od najistaknutijih ženskih prikaza klasičnog Hollywooda i još su uvijek predmet analize brojnih filmskih teoretičara i feministica. One su uvelike utjecale i na publiku i na način prikazivanja žena danas u filmovima. Tri spomenuta prikaza žena bili su u fokusu analize ovog magistarskog rada, koji se temeljio na različitim akademskim istraživanjima te na tri analize filmova toga perioda. Glupa plavuša analizirana je kroz film Neki to vole vruće (1959.), fatalna žena pomno je proučena u filmu Vrtoglavica (1958.), a screwball junakinja dodatno je istražena kroz analizu filma Njegova djevojka Petko (1940.).
