Practically all mainstream cinema is "straight, " and has been
since its inception. In Straight, Wheeler Winston Dixon explores
how heterosexual performativity has been constructed in film, from
early cinema to the present day. In addition to discussing how
cinematic visions of masculine and feminine desire have been
commodified and sold to rein-force existing societal constructs,
Dixon also documents the recent emergence of "hypermasculinity, " a
kinetic and exaggerated masculinity that has been created to
counter the more gentle, thoughtful male portrayed in While You
Were Sleeping, Sleepless in Seattle, and other films that seemingly
threaten the established order of partriarchal cinematic discourse.
