The Day of the Outlaw- VC
The Day of the Outlaw is a western film that portrays women poorly. This movie was released in 1959. During this time, women were fighting for more rights, but were still struggling to gain their equality with men. This issue is shown in the film. The opinions of the women are not valued. For example, when Helen Crane is trying to talk to Blaise and convince him not to kill her husband, he ignores her and brushes her aside. This movie also shows how women still are not equal by the way they are treated. In the movie, the women are treated as objects by Bruhn and his gang. They take all of the women and seperate them from the men of the village and force them to stay in a seperate house. Then, the women are also treated poorly when the gang force them to dance with them. This film shows how even though women in the 1950s are gaining more rights, they are still struggling for equality.

Some men were not happy with the idea of women having equal rights and tries to keep them down. This is shown in this film very prominently as the men treat women as objects and don't value them or their opinions at all.
