gender - negative representations of women - objects, seductive and dangerous 
😎 mise en scene - bold, red lipstick connotes danger and seduction reinforces stereotypes of women being distracting and untrustworthy.
😎mise en scene of makeup reinforces stereotypes of women being obsessed with beauty and appearance.
