Question 7

The film How to Make Your Breasts Look Bigger is a critique on how women go about using their breasts to accomplish things, as well as a reference to stereotypical pornography story lines, with the 'I need to call a handyman to fix my radiator and use sexual innuendo while wearing a bra to do it' parody. It is an appropriation because it uses the idea of putting down women in porn, yet reappropriates it by using the porn as a critique of the original idea. Same goes for the appropriation and reappropriation of the sexual signifiers from early pornography; they are use to critique the original idea of women using their bodies to gain what they want.
