Bridget Jones's Baby is drama, comedy, romance directed by Sharon Maguire and is about the famous hopeless romantic Bridget Jones finding love again and bringing a new love into the world. The film was released in September 2016. It was produced by Debra Hayward, Eric Fellner and Tim Bevan and the production company was Mirimax, Studio Canal and Universal Pictures.
I believe it portrayed a very honest depiction of today's man and woman. the two male protagonists in this film are played by Colin Firth playing the role of Mark and Patrick Dempsey playing the role of Jack. When the two male characters would argue it wouldn't turn into a physical fight ,they would argue both with each other, sometimes calling each other rude names but it wouldn't develop any further. In the last Bridget Jones We saw Hugh Grant and Colin Firth fighting over Bridget Jones like two cave men. This film has matured the male representation and has turned it in to more of a sophisticated, sensible and modern image. The writers or producers might have done this to show a more positive representation of men and the fact that it is a woman and not some fox network, testosterone injected brute directing it, makes me believe that they wanted a very honest depiction of men.
The depiction of the average woman is a very true representation. The main stereotypes of woman are they have to be sensible and respectful they have to be able to cook and clean, they are dependent on a man and are unintelligent and weak. These stereotypes are replaced with new ones to present more of a authentic representation of women. Bridget Jones is independent and has her own flat and job, she is intelligent and takes risks going to the festival, strong by carrying a baby on her own and still turning up to work and finally she's tough by taking on authoritarians in her work place.
In conclusion Bridget Jones's Baby has a honest and true depiction of the modern woman and man today.
