James Garner), . Such cues may be used to establish any of the aspects

of the story line, such as time, location, relationships, emotions, mood, etc. In addition,

due to the subject of the movie, they may be used to establish and enhance the gender of

the characters. Keep in mind that such gender-based cues may include subtle messages

to make males seem more masculine, females more feminine. In this particular movie

remember that nonverbal cues can include gestures, facial expressions, body movements,

body appearance, eye contact, the use of space, colors, touch, even the use of silence.
