The Incredible

     The Incredibles is one of my favorite animation film in Disney Pixar. During my primary school life, I already watched this film. The reason why I like this film is because the super power of the characters. Since I was kid, I like to imagine I have super power, such as flying super power and can other people mind. It really cool if I have super power then I can help a lot of people instead of do bad things. I can learn many moral from this film. I love this film not only the animation, it because the storyline is talking about the important of family. The Incredibles is a 2004 American computer-animated superhero film written and directed by Brad Bird, produced by Pixar Animation Studios, and released by Walt Disney Pictures. The film follows a family of superheroes who are forced to hide their powers and live a quiet suburban life. Mr. Incredible's desire to help people draws the entire family into a battle with a villain and his killer robot.

     The theory of the film is Feminist. For the history of feminist, it started in the 1920s, looking at women’s expression of her own subjectivity.  Feminist film theory matured in the late 1960s, after the radicalized feminist movement. Feminism touch a lot of political issues. It is a set of political practices seen through the analyses of the social/historical position of women as subordinated, oppressed or exploited in dominant modes of production and by social relations of patriarchy or male domination. This film of theory are viewed as a reflection of the society, so we can know how perception of women in this society. Themes explored in feminist theory include discrimination, stereotyping, objectification, oppression, and patriarchy. This all is totally bad things for women.

So how to look in feminist in film is assumed predetermined sexual identity to expose the misrepresentation of women in films. The assumption here being female repression by a patriarchal society. Next is we look at the various female representations in the film and compare them, seeking out the final resolution of the ‘preferred’ female representation. Another one is looking at the female representation of the film from the female spectator’s point of view. There are other ways of interpretation of feminism in films that are more up-to-date, namely to include class and race, that further broadens the readings of films through spectator and the experiences of women in different classes and races.

     In this film, we can see that the representation of feminist is Helen Parr (Elastigirl), wife of Bob Parr (Mr. Incredible), Violet Parr (child of Mr. Incredible and Elastigirl), Mirage (Syndrome’s agent). Firstly, Helen Parr choose to marry to Bob Parr because she rely to him. But In 1979, public opinion turns against humans with superpowers – called "Supers" – and after facing several lawsuits over peripheral damage caused by their crime-fighting activities, the government forces them into civilian relocation programs. After 15 years later, Helen try to protect her family with hidden their super power identity. But what happened next she find out that her husband got trouble. She try to find out the problem to save her husband. Women are not only stay at home take care family, but also can work out side and can more power than men. Next Violet Parr is a shy girl, her super power is invisible and force shield. She really shy to show herself in front on her crush. After that

When the bad guys want to kill her brother, Violet use her force shield to save her brother. She take away her shy attitude to save her family. Lastly she not shy anymore, she dare to talk with the boy she like. Next character is Syndrome’s agent –Mirage. Mirage is a bad girl because she helping Syndrome to kill all the super hero. One of the scene when Mr. Incredible want to use Mirage to threat Syndrome, but Syndrome don’t care about. Mirage regret because help Syndrome. Lastly she choose to help Mr. Incredible to save the world.

     Women very important because men cannot live without women. Women take important role for every aspect.
