I think the movie The Hangover and the article “The Girl Hunt: Urban Nightlife and the Performance of Masculinity as a Collective Activity” by Gazian shows us the relationship between bromance and masculinity. How they bond with each other. In the movie The Hangover Doug is getting married, so his friends Phil, Stu is taking him to Vegas for his bachelorette party, and they are taking Alan (Doug’s brother-in-law) with them. Phil is leader of this group; he makes most of the decision for the group. Phil behave like a free man, he wants to have fun. When they came to a hotel in Vegas Phil wanted to gets big room, so they can have some girls over. He was looking after everyone so everyone can have a good time. I think the way Phil, Doug, Stu and Alan behave in this movie is masculine. Because they came to Vegas for bachelorette party, they still a tiger from Mike Tyson and a police car. Stu pull his own tooth and married a hooker, Alan gambles and won $80k, Phil rescue his friend and him shelf from the police. This movie shows emphasis on the relationships/bonds between males. Because when Phil, Stu and Alan thought the Chinese guy (Chao) kidnap Doug they did anything to rescue their friend from Chao. Phil, Alan, Stu and his wife went to casino and gambled Stu $10k to win $80k, so they can rescue Doug. They didn’t bail on their friend. It shows a close bond between these men. There are some connections between the movie and what David Grazian discusses about males’ behavior in “The Girl Hunt: Urban Nightlife and Performance of Masculinity as Collective Activity”. In the movie we see when the guys got ready to hit the clubs; Phil took everybody to the hotels roof to get some drink. Like Gazian mentions in the article “The Girl Hunt: Urban Nightlife and the Performance of Masculinity as a Collective Activity”,
The ritualistic use of alcohol is normative on college
campuses,particularly for men (Martin and hummer 1989), and students
largely describe pregaming as an economical and efficient way to get drunk
before going out into the city……However, it also seems that pregaming is
bonding ritual that fosters social cohesion and builds confidence among
young men in a anticipation of the challenges that accompany the girl
hunt.(326)
The movie and the articles overall message is that no matter how bad is the situation, You never leave your man behind. Always stick together and help each other out.
