Focault's theory was that people don't have a 'real' identity within themselves. He believed it was just used to describe a person. An 'identity' is communicated to others in your interactions with them, but can change.  He also said that people do not 'have' power naturally, and that it was gained.

This means that if you were not one of these upper class white men then your values and ideas would never be seen. It also means that whole groups of people such as black people, hispanic and many other ethnic minorities would be misrepresented or ignored.

An example of a film that supports his theory is Toy Story. Buzz lightyear's character is defined by the way he interacts with the other characters. He is shown to be funny, when he doesn't intend to be. He talks about how he is an astronaut hero although he comes across as delusional and it makes his character funny.

Hooks also believed that it would create prejudice and discrimination towards these groups. She also heavily believed that black women were seen as the lowest in media texts because of their ethnicity and gender - a mix of misogyny and racism. It also comes from historical slave issues but this has never left.

With Ways Of Seeing, Berger popularised the attitude that art should be for all. This was no doubt governed by his notably Marxist outlook on life. He believed that the enjoyment and appreciation of art should not be saved for a privileged, pretentious few who thought their perceptions and tastes to be the standard

The whole idea of the Feminist Theory is based around feminism and this is a moment to end patriarchy, patriarchy being a society ran by men for men. Things you'd include would be sexism, sexist exploitation and oppression of women.

Hook explains that 'intersectionality' refers to the intersections of gender, race, class and sexuality to create a 'white supremacist capitalist patriarchy' whose ideologies and beliefs dominate the media. This links back to the idea that rich, upper class white men run the media and what they think is passed down to everyone in the public eye.

She also argues that black women should develop an 'oppositional gaze' that would refuse to identify with characters - the 'gaze' is political for black Americans as they were punished for looking at their white slave masters (this again links back to hundreds of years ago with the slave trade)

The “male gaze” invokes the sexual politics and suggests a sexualised way of looking that empowers men and objectifies women. In the male gaze, woman are visually positioned as an object of heterosexual male desire. A key idea of feminist film theory is the concept of the male gaze that was introduced by scholar and filmmaker Laura Mulvey in her famous 1975 essay, Visual Pleasure and Narrative Cinema.
