Watch Ma Vie en Rose (2016)
Answer review : How does Ma Vie en Rose explore ideas of authority in Milgram, discipline in Foucault, opinion and norms in Mill? You don’t have to explore all of these, but perhaps one, or some of them! For example, you could write a paper on how the community response to Ludovig in Ma Vie en Rose illustrates what Mill called the “tyranny of opinion”. Or, perhaps: how did Ludovig’s community, or school, or family, or peers, employ “panoptic-like” responses, in Foucault’s sense, to Ludovic’s idiosyncracies? Do you think Ma Vie en Rose is a dated depiction of the social response to Ludovic’s gender identity, or do you think it is still relevant today? Howso?
