Category: Marlboro Ads

Question #1: I played an early commerical from the Marlboro campaign.  Share some of your reactions to that specific ad.  Remember to comment on how it imagines American masculinity in the 1950s.  You may view the Marlboro footage below for further consideration but try to respond mostly to what I played in class.

Question 4: There are quite a few battle scenes in The Searchers. Comment on the one I played in class (it begins it at 29:50 minutes).  What can you say here, among many other things, about comparative masculinities? Also, what can you say about film form and these epic battle scenes?
