Abstract	This thesis deals with the representation of women in the following films: Psycho (1960), The Silence of the Lambs (1991), Titanic (1997) and Skyfall (2012). After a thorough case study analyses of these films, the thesis attempts to determine if there are any differences in presenting women and men and whether the films in question strengthen or deny social stereotypes about women and women roles in films. Although the depiction of women in films has changed over time, if we think of representation of female characters in Classical Hollywood that was restricted to two opposite poles - housewives or femme fatales - to nowadays, we should ask ourselves to which extent do contemporary films, and especially those made in the end of the 20th and the beginning of the 21st century, work in favour or at the expense of emancipation of women, which is, after all, the main focus of this paper.
Abstract (croatian)	Ovaj diplomski rad bavi se analizom prikaza žena u sljedećim filmovima: Psiho (1960), Kad jaganjci utihnu (1991), Titanic (1997) i Skyfall (2012). Analizom navedenih filmova rad pokušava utvrditi postoji li razlika u prikazu muškaraca i žena te jačaju li spomenuti filmovi društvene stereotipe o ženama i ženskim ulogama u filmovima, ili ih pak opovrgavaju. Iako se može reći da se prikaz žena u filmovima promijenio s godinama, razmotrimo li pritom prikaze žena u filmovima klasičnog Hollywooda koji se ograničavao na dva oprečna pola – kućanica ili fatalna žena – te prikaz žena u suvremenim filmovima, nameće se pitanje u kojoj mjeri suvremeni filmovi, a posebice oni s kraja 20. i početka 21. stoljeća, rade u korist ili pak nauštrb emancipacije žena, što je ujedno i glavni fokus ovog rada.
