|
| Dawn (Jess Weixler) is an advocate of teen chastity, actively preaching to her peers the value of virginity and subduing sexual desires. Understandably this makes her a target of mockery amongst many of her classmates; some of whom have made bets about who can deflower the cherry poster child. When Dawn is attacked by her teen crush Tobey (Hale Appleman), she instinctually bites off his penis with her toothed vagina. This sets off confusion in Dawn, as she becomes aware of her own sexuality and anatomical differences from the other girls.
Teeth could easily be juvenile and misogynistic, as the notion of a young woman with a big toothy vagina can be seen as slightly exploitative and offensive. Thankfully the film is fully aware of gender roles, male spectatorship air max 97, female empowerment and the cinematic conventions of the horror genre, as well as the history of female protagonists in horror cinema. It’s actually a very clever and self aware little film that turns the tables on male castration anxieties, liberating female sexual desire rather than punishing it, which is historically typical of the genre. A Feminist look at the vagina dentatis mythology What starts out as horror and anxiety, turns into comfort and personal strength, as Dawn learns to take pleasure in her sexuality and the power she has taken back from dominant and unaware men. Theoretically, Teeth is a pleasure to watch. A great deal of care is taken throughout to maintain a certain tone and dignity with Dawn’s plight. The gaze of the film is actively female, lingering on the male form and exploiting them as the objects of sexual arousal for a change. Reality exists through the eyes of Dawn and her engagement with herself and those around her. The majority of the nudity in the film is male Nike Free 3.0, save Dawn’s own when she is the active viewer. It comes only when she is able to look at herself and take pride in her own sexuality. This is in direct opposition to typical female roles in horror cinema, as they are often fetishized and passive, unable to take pleasure in carnal actions without being punished. Teeth has the decency to not display the toothed vagina, but takes glee in showing many gushing severed penises as villainous male characters are killed for viewing Dawn as a simple sex object for their amusement. It is initially shocking, but quickly becomes amusing. Every rose has its thorn. Protecting themselves from the dangers of the environment and predators, plants and animals develop defense mechanisms. Theoretically, physical mechanisms would stem from mutation and natural selection. Should viruses, transposons, radiation Nike Free 5.0, or mutagenic chemicals change the DNA sequence of a cell’s genome, the result would usually be a harmful or weakly beneficial anomaly that would normally be wiped out through natural selection. However, as that theory states that the strongest beings with the most advantageous traits are the most likely to reproduce, a beneficial anomaly could logically find itself becoming a dominant trait. With the issue of a toothed vagina it is unlikely that successful breeding would help carry on the trait as the severing of penises is not conducive to reproduction. Should a vagina develop teeth it is questionable how they might function in a chewing capacity. Does the vagina have a mandible and thus the capacity to bite and chew? Or is it more of a beak? Or is it more like a Tremors worm with strong surrounding muscles capable of biting? If the vagina is toothed, the question then turns to digestion. Is the function of it simply to bite and spit out? Or is the intention to devour? And if devoured, how is it digested? Where is it digested? And where does the waste go? Does the vagina get hungry? Where would one feel the hunger pangs? Then there is the issue of dental care; flossing and brushing might prove difficult, as would semi-annual dental visits. Read on |
