Even today, in our progressive times, in most movies that come out, the men have to have biceps and the women have to be thin or something.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
I notice now, whatever character in whatever movie you're watching, they have these toned arms and muscles.
It's frustrating we still don't see more movies featuring strong women.
I think a lot of the time in films, men get roles where they create their own destiny and women are just tools, supporters for that.
Women have to take more control of their careers. They can't just wait to be cast in a film.
Hollywood usually doesn't have strong woman in films like that, and it's stupid, so for the most part they're usually being directed and written by men.
It actually makes perfect sense why women in Hollywood get so skinny: because it's a way of controlling how people see you.
Both men and women are really vast and boundless and yet in many films we're told that they're not. We're told they can only be one thing - like handsome and charming and that's it. Nothing more.
We need to see men and women as equal partners, but it's hard to think of movies that do that. When I talk to people, they think of movies of forty-five years ago! Hepburn and Tracy!
Especially in comedies, I think a lot of time the female characters are there to provide a balance for guys.
Women in Film and Television is such an important body.
