The Filming section of this article contains the following:
"De Palma's directing of the camera—in Carrie as well as his other films—is often interrogated in terms of its seeming indulgence in the male gaze. While scenes such as the opening, in which the camera surveys an array of naked adolescent girls, can be justified as representational of the film's themes of female development, it is most accurately perceived as a disturbingly pornographic introduction to a story that is unfortunately, in most of its contexts, constructed by the male point of view, despite its centering on the female developmental experience. An awareness of De Palma's directorial portfolio and personal context encourages insight to the relationship between men in power and vulnerable women in America and particularly in Hollywood, enriching a viewer's experience of the cult classic film."
This seems like it would belong more appropriately in the Reception section. Even there, this passage mandates an opinion for the reader--"is most accurately perceived as disturbingly pornographic introduction," so it doesn't seem to adhere to a neutral point of view. 68.189.136.43 ( talk) 05:05, 2 July 2024 (UTC)
