How is Evil Shown Throughout the Movie Using the Gender Lens?

In the movie “The 3rd Man” Harry Lime’s ways toy with evil through the whole movie. Looking at it through a gender lens his heartless and damaging ways show masculinity in him as a character. In the scene where Lime and Martins meet on the ferris wheel, Lime enters the frame from the right giving you the feeling something isn’t right with him. Whereas Martins appears from the left showing he is good and just. Lime is seen coming in from a long angle shot making him appear mysterious and smaller which shows him having less power than Martins who is shot almost fully in the frame. While talking on the ferris wheel. Martins and Lime are eye to eye. Lime is shot with the camera tilted at a slight angle making him appear a little sideways compared to Martins who is shot straight on and in the middle of the shot showing how Lime is a perhaps a little twisted. They both take up almost the whole frame showing they posse power in the moment. While chatting they both appear relaxed and calm even though the situation is quite suspenseful. As the ferris wheel climbs to its peak so does the conversation. It escalates until they reach the top and look out at the small people below them. Showing they think of themselves as a higher power than the small dots below. When the ferris wheel makes its descent the conversation comes to a close and turns a little darker. Threats are given and bargains are made. Symbolizing how they are now in a more evil place. The non-diegetic sounds playing when the men speak create suspense and horror, making you feel as if all of your questions throughout the movie will be revealed. The framing, scene setting, and the sound of this movie all make Harry Lime appear to be the evil figure.

Hanna Olson's TED Talk review

I really like Hanna's Big Sister TED talk. Being the youngest in the family I don't really know what's it's like to be an older sibling. She gave me a good aspect of what its like. At least for her, and helped me better understand how my older brother feels. Knowing Hanna and her family for a long time I know how fun they are and I'm sure she could of had some fun stories to tell. I wish she would have at least shared one just so everyone else could see how her and her family interact together. Overall, I really enjoyed her speech and learned a lot from it. The words she used and pictures helped to relate to the audience. It was good as always!
