Taken representation

Taken

Throughout the trailer for Taken an american man is represented stereotypically aggressive and in a violent way alternatively  in Taken's case there's love and determination within the hero as he is on a mission to save his daughter. A lot like other actions film Liam Neeson who plays the lead-role there is a link within the way they are represented as they both come off to be very bold and vigorous. It suggests that there's a brave and tough sense in them. The females in Taken are not as powerful as the men as they seem to be more vulnerable and afraid. A female (the daughter) is being save by a man (the father) this is a strong daughter and father bond as he stops at nothing to keep his daughter safe. The girl is being rescued by the man mainly because in taken she's the daughter but also because she isn't as skilled and strong to be able to protect herself. The eastern-Europeans are represented daring. The beginning is typically represented as we are shown the love between the dad and daughter and a husband with a ex wife. The men are wild but mindful of their family. The human-traffickers in Taken are Albanian who are foreign and a couple of troubled men that need money and so kidnap and sell young females also because they are stereotyped because of their culture so its reinforced. At first when the American girl is visiting Europe she feels very excited as its the first time, the house seems quite nice. After a while we see Europe to be dangerous as its presented as a place where young people suffer and get kidnapped and so immediately we feel as if its unsafe.
