The Crying Game begins as a political thriller and then, suddenly, it is an entirely different film altogether. From an ideological standpoint, how does the film tie together its two central themes– politics and gender? Using Giannetti’s ideology spectrum (409) as your guide, do you consider this film to be Left, Center, or Right? Are there any ideological contradictions? Using Diawara’s essay as your guide, consider also how and why writer/director Neil Jordan disrupts the dominant positioning of the spectator with the white heterosexual male? How does he re-define the concept of the concept of “masquerading” beyond gender to national and cultural identity?
