Mulvey believed Hollywood films used women as an “erotic” object and that the narrative of films is mostly constructed to give heterosexual male audiences the opportunity to admire the female body (170).

Camera effects, mise-en-scene and sound are all used to portray and alter

The Bond Girls Whenever there is a Bond film, there is always a Bond girl. She is as indispensable as the gadgets, the car, the chase and the villain set on overtaking the earth.
