Abstract

The Weather Man is a modern film set in Chicago which narrates about David’s experiences. The film combines the masculinity crises, identity anxiety and harsh satire which men usually encounter in daily life with a light comedy atmosphere. Trivial affairs pile up the “fast food” living style of David, trap his social identity and further trigger the crisis of masculinity. This thesis, which is on the base of Connell’s three-part structure model of gender relations, examines David’s masculinity crises and deals with his efforts to reconstruct his male identity from the aspects of power relations, the production relations and emotional attachment.

Keywords: Connell; three-part structure model of gender relations; patriarchy; hegemonic masculinity
