Looking for good sociology experts

Essay length: 1,500 words

View the following two movies and write an essay that evaluates the portrayal and development of the two lead characters in both movies in a comparative analysis
Two movies criticizing gender stereotypes in Hollywood movies in two completely different ways 

The Proposal
Knight and Day

Both movies are available on short loan at the library (please do watch the movies in a timely manner so you do not run out of time for this assessment)
You can link this essay to any of the topics discussed in class, so long as it is relevant, however, do keep the discussion focused and narrow (I am looking for depth of insight, not breadth of coverage). 
You should present an in-depth well-thought-out discussion that shows your understanding of the subject matter. Review and integrate into the discussion a minimum of 10 academic references
Topics discussed:

Gender difference
Language change
Gendered talk in same-sex conversation
Gender construction
Gendered speech across cultures
Women, men and politeness
Women and men in the media
Gender in the workplace

MY OPINION ON THE MOVIES/ARGUMENTATION:

Knight and day is like a disney fairytale where the guy is the hero and the girl is the helpless princess. Parody

The proposal present itself as switching gender roles to switch it again at the end.

I like the point of view of this article:

Depth of insight
Quality of discussion
Originality of approach/ideas
Coherence 
Strength of argumentation
Drawing on related research and insights
