S.H.E.P.

Historical/Social Context:

Films such as ‘Enter the Dragon’ only screened fights between males. Women played maids and servant roles, and this reflects the social attitudes of women in 1970's, particularly in Asia. As women were seen to be so inferior to men, they would be neglected and given roles as carers rather than bredwinners. Nowdays, women are beginning to play more important roles, not in just film but society as well.


Economic Context:


Action/adventure movies have higher budgets compared to other films. As it it is produced by Sony Pictures Classics, they were able to spend an estimated $20 million on this film.
