Men at the age of 18 face a few specific difficulties and pressures created by the media. Every action movie out there tries to cause them to believe strength is the key to masculinity. (ex terminator, die hard, dark night, bad boys) They face the challenge to find that strength isn't always physical. Sex is also something they're forced into, and lots of it. Their status and quality is kind of defined by it. The hero always gets, and gets with the girl in the beginning, middle, and end of the movie. I'd say attitude lastly, is something men face. To be tough and stern, to hide all sensitivity. They're told to hide behind masks and never show any sort of feeling.
Movies that follow behind these statements are found at your local movie store. Spiderman must hide his feelings for M.J. as so that the Green Goblin won't hurt her. James Bond gets laid 10 plus times in the sum of all his movies. Gladiator he must fight or die for his country, without strength of arms he will be killed. Indian Jones, his fear of snakes is his only weakness, and he must overcome it to succeed. Lord of the Rings apart from Arwen and Aragon's fling. The movie is based that greatest amount of violence created by men wins.
