These films include \u003ci\u003eGaslight\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003e Sleeping with the Enemy\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003e What's Love Got to Do with It\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003e Dolores Claiborne\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003e Enough\u003c\/i\u003e, and \u003ci\u003eSafe Haven\u003c\/i\u003e. Shaped by the contexts of postfeminism, domestic abuse post-awareness, and familiar genre conventions, these films engage in ideological \"gaslighting\" that reaffirms our preconceived ideas about men as abusers, women as victims, and the racial and class politics of domestic violence. While the films purport to condemn abuse and empower abused women, this study proposes that they tacitly reinforce the very attitudes that we believe we no longer tolerate. Shoos argues that films like these limit not only popular understanding but also social and institutional interventions. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Diane L.
