Despicable Me talks about a bad guy. Gru, and his desire to commit the ultimate crime: stealing the moon. Gru calls on three orphan girls who previously sold cookies to his enemy, Vector. He tries to recover the shrink ray which will help him obtain the moon by shrinking it to a suitable size. As this plan comes to fruition, he discovers that the girls are a little nicer than he expected. Gru deviates from gender norms by playing the role of caregiver to Margo, Edith and Agnes. When Gru first sees the girls, he fits the feminist lens almost perfectly. He adopts them to get what he wants and once he gets it, he'll just take them back to the orphanage. Still, not getting attached to these girls was harder than expected. He begins to easily give in to their desires. The first time this happens is when the girls want to go to ballet class and he wants to deliver cookies, starting with "Mr." Vector". The girls refuse this plan and instead begin the journey to ballet classes on foot. Gru eventually gives in, gets the car, picks them up and takes them to their classes. Gru could have let them walk to class or force them to deliver cookies After all, he's an evil mastermind Yet that's not what he does. He follows the girls' wishes and takes them wherever they want to go and do. what a mother often does The mother may sacrifice things like relaxing on the couch, reading, quiet time, and other adult activities for things the child wants to do, like playing, doing. shopping, classes, and other childish activities The second time Gru gives in to the girls is when they pass a theme park after delivering the cookies to Vector and stealing the shrink ray He imagines. ......middle of paper......to that of the girls He ultimately saves the three and Vector is imprisoned on the normal-sized moon. It's a mother's act. Isn't a mother's first reaction to a horrible act to protect her child and protect him by any means possible, even if it means using his own body to protect said child? That's what Gru does, he gives up the moon - something he's wanted since he was a child, as shown in flashbacks. Gru is the “other” in feminist lenses. Gru went from “subject” to “object” in a matter of hours in the film Despicable Me. He provides, sacrifices and protects daughters as a mother and father should. He is the girls' caregiver and the only real person who loves them as far as they know. That's the goal of a real mother, to make sure her child is always loved and never feels any other way..
