What you see here is a trailer for the 2005 film Mr. & Mrs. Smith. I chose this clip for my blog entry because it embodies the concept of revising the binary. Revising the binary means to keep the basis of the binary, bur revise it in such a way that it is not quite as disagreeable. In this movie, both characters are equal. Mrs. Smith is an assassin just like her husband and has all of the same skills and sense of wit he has. However, she is still very sexualized in the film. This film is an example of expansion that goes beyond the typical binary. Mrs. Smith is still a badass like her husband, but she also has the sex appeal that oozes out of her. Pair that with her assassin skills and she is every boy/man's fantasy.
