Who's the Boss?



Some reviewers have called this film a critique on masculinity.  If that is true, how is Scorsese getting this across?  Think specifically about the gender roles and relationships while answering.  How do different characters show affection for each other?  How are women depicted in this film?  How does Scorsese shoot them (sound, visuals, and dialogue)?  Contrast the male-male relationships we see with the male-female ones.  What does a woman become in Jake’s world?
