Abstract：：Gaze has become a key word of film studies since 1970s when cinematic apparatus theory developed. This paper starts with Laura Mulvey's argument of "male gaze" proposed in her groundbreaking research based on her psychoanalytical study of classical Hollywood cinema. Mulvey's ignorance of female pleasure and female spectatorship has been recognized in feminist responses. Recent feminist research has taken into consideration women's cinema, female characters, genre films of male as sexual objects, and racial differences to discuss the multiple ways in which women see films. This research has become a window for self-reflection and complexity of feminist scholarship.
