For example:<\/span>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">The only nudity in the film is of Peter. Typically, there is much more female nudity.&nbsp;<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Peter is portrayed as overly emotional about his breakup with Sarah. He cries often, is depressed, and won&#8217;t stop talking about Sarah to the point that he is annoying his friends. This is also typically more of a trait that is portrayed with women.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Peter is so in love with Sarah at the beginning that it seems almost obsessive.&nbsp;<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Rachel:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Rachel\u2019s characteristics and roles in the film are also very different from the stereotypical female gender roles we tend to see in films.&nbsp;<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Rachel is very much in charge of her and Peter\u2019s relationship<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">She uses a lot of harsh, foul language<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The media I will be analyzing is the Romantic Comedy: Forgetting Sarah Marshall.
