- "The article focuses on the depiction of mothers and their role in the behavior of their children in movies. Ridley Scott's "Alien" movie series provides a maternal analogy which culminates in the suicide of the heroine, played by Sigourney Weaver, upon discovering she is pregnant with a new alien queen. In Brian de Palma's "Carrie," the title character played by Sissy Spacek commits matricide and suicide through the use of her uncontrollable psychic powers." [Ebsco]

- "The article compares Stanley Kubrick's film "The Shining" with Brian de Palma's 1976 film "Carrie." Much like Jack Torrance in "The Shining," Carrie White is a victim of repressive patriarchal social institutions. Both Jack's and Carrie's acts of violence may, in their own ways be read as the results of institutionalized repression. However, neither Carrie nor "The Shining" offers patriarchal repression as the only source of monstrosity. Both films instead present a range of horrors, asking us to be afraid of repression while at the same time suggesting that certain things just need to be repressed. But one of the things that distinguish this film from Carrie is that the possessor of the psychic power in "The Shining" can be strong without it and need not be utterly destroyed by it." [EBSCO]

- "Discusses what is described as disturbing encoding of gender constructions in the 1989 B. De Palma film Casualties of War, that explored the motivation of US soldiers in Vietnam for involvement in criminal acts. The author analyzes 2 characters' homophobic assault on another character for his resistance to participation in a gang-rape, suggesting that it portrays men using the norm of homophobia to enforce social conformity with the male role. The author suggests that the film seems unwilling to focus on the paradoxically homoerotic desire in the performance of aggressive (hetero)sexuality for the male audience in one character's homophobic attacks. One other phenomenon the film is seen as circumventing is a more sophisticated notion of gender, where it is understood in such a context as the result of being in a position of exposure or vulnerability (Vietnam). In this context, the masculine must always see itself as engaged in a fight for existence against the feminine. In this sense, Vietnam was has been brought home as a metaphor for efforts to reconstruct American masculinity." [PsychInfo]

- "In its reluctance to face up to the issues of the Vietnam War, Hollywood is increasingly presenting the conflict in terms of mythology. Likens Brian De Palma's "Casualties of war" to Arthurian legend; plus an essay showing how De Palma's film distances itself from the dilemmas of the real-life event - the rape and murder of a Vietnamese woman - which inspired it."
