Victor Victoria NonVerbal Cues Project
After viewing the 1982 version of the movie “Victor Victoria” (with Julie Andrews and James Garner), write a 1 ½ to 2 page, double-spaced essay on the various types of the non-verbal cues used in the movie. Such cues may be used to establish any of the aspects of the story line, such as time, location, relationships, emotions, mood, etc. In addition, due to the subject of the movie, they may be used to establish and enhance the gender of the characters. Keep in mind that such gender-based cues may include subtle messages to make males seem more masculine, females more feminine. In this particular movie they may also be used to make a male seem feminine and a female seem masculine. Also remember that nonverbal cues can include gestures, facial expressions, body movements, body appearance, eye contact, the use of space, colors, touch, even the use of silence. Identify and describe in detail at least ten specific examples of nonverbal messages and explain how the cue was used and the effect it had.
