The text, "Film Bodies: Gender, Genre, and Excess," Linda Williams assesses how there are three types of film genres (horror, pornography & melodramas) that sexualises the female body for pleasure, fear and emotion. Most horror films these days mainly focus on torturing the females then the males, for example the film Saw 3, one of the scenes the 'Freezer room' the audience are immediately introduced to a completely naked woman being brutally tortured, however in the film there is no naked male only the female. This may be because for most people the female body is more 'appealing' than the male.
The film 'Talk to Her' (2002) uses the female body to keep the audience's attention to the film. The film focuses on the two main characters, Marco and Beningo. Beningo is supposed to be a male nurse and one of his female patients is in a coma and he takes care of her - which is later on, he is accused of raping her. The way this film sexualises the patient is when Beningo is cleaning/ washing the patient, the audience see how Beningo touches her and talks about very personal stuff that is going on in his life like his sexuality. Later on in the film we see film being screened about a man shrinking and forming a relationship with the woman who is normal-sized and it immediately sexualises the topic by showing the woman falling asleep then the small sized man undressing her and because she is unconsciously asleep this relates to the main character, Beningo - as he is in love with his patient who is in a coma.
