Hit girl essay

I think in Kick Ass Hit girl is a postmodern heroine becuase She is not a typical super hero fifure becuase as an aucience we feel shocked when she calls then Cunts which shows that she is na typical superhero becuase they do not swear very much. I also feel that we are suprised the way she is represented becuase it almost feesls as if she has two identies becuase when she is a super heros she uses foul langauage and seems like a right bad ass in the way she talks and is fearless becuase she is not affraid to take on ganster men, whereas as you would thinks that a superhero women would be slightlly affraid, however she does not. But then on the on the other hand when she is not a Hit girl she seems to be a fairlly typical 12 year old in the way she acts and tlaks becuase she does drawing and plays with her barbie doll which is what you would exect a 12 year old to do and also the way she gets a hot chocalte with marshmellows for her and her dad which is suprizing becuase as a super hero you would not epexct them to do this. The scene where hit girl's dad reads a story before beb is a typical 12 year old thing to do. Hitgirls language is really polite and sweat when she is not Hit Girl which is how we would expect a 12 year old to be. However as soon as they are needed as super heros her attitude seems to change in the way she is excited which again links back to her being fearless. Once she is Hit girl we see a completely different side to her in the way is presented to us the audience. In a way she is like a typical superhero in the way she has two identities and is very different. for example it is similar two Batman who has two identities Bruce Wayne and Batman.

The image of Hit girl in a school uniform shows that she is heroine because the way she dresses is not how we would think a 12 year old would but in actual fact most 12 year old now dress in similar ways but we don't seem to think it is wrong however the stereotypical view is that is wrong and 12 year old should not dress in that way. At the beggining of the film we see her getting shot by her dad which is not what you would normally see a dughter and father doing it almost seems as if she does not want to so it and we see she is not enjoying it by her body langauge, which is simailar to how a typical 12 year old act if that was happening to them.
