Princesas

The opening scene of Princesas uses a hand held camera when Caye is walking into the hospital.  This gives a sense of realism and is similitude as it shows how this is what happens in real life in Spain.  This allows the audience to understand reality in Spain as prostitution happens a lot in Spain due to its high unemployment and immigration problem.

Once into the Hospital room Caye is shown as a powerful woman who is in control.  She lays down the rules to the men inside the hospital room.  This is not carried on throughout the film as she is found to lose her power in the bathroom scene.  Here she is forced by a male for sexual reasons, even when she was refusing.  This shows here power has been taken and males continue to dominate females.  Caye does not want to do this at this point, even tho its here job, she does not want to do it behind Manuel's back.  This shows she has feelings for him but gets controlled by a more dominant male.  Showing that no matter what males still dominate females.  This is the same for most of the females in this film and is the main reason why Caye and Zulema form a friendship as they are able to talk about it and help each other out.  This shows the difference between males and females within the films we have watched.  As in the other films males are not able to talk about there problems and use violence to sort a lot of their problems out.
