The irony is that the more unapologetically sexist men are in movies, the more women tend to be attracted to them in person.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
It's rare to see women in a film who are not somehow validated by a male or discussing a male or heartbroken by a male,or end up being happy because of a male. It's interesting to think about, and it's very true.
I think all industries are sexist in nature and I don't think the film industry is any different.
The sexism in Hollywood is not particularly overt - because the system is good at hiding it.
Sometimes it's more difficult to exist as a female lead, especially in action movies because all those men are around you. They take so much place.
The roles for women in theatre are much better than they are in film.
Films with female protagonists don't attract many eyeballs. Most of them are perceived as feminist films. If Bollywood starts giving women major roles in entertaining movies, then the audience, too, will open up to the idea of watching commercial films in which the actresses do more than just play the role of the hero's love interest.
I think audiences have always wanted to see women in the movies, but every time a movie like 'Bridesmaids' comes out, everyone says, 'Oh how funny, people do want to see women in the movies.'
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.
Most of the women in film are there to be beautiful to the man.
It's actually kind of cool that women have taken to me. Because now I have a whole different demographic when it comes to the audiences. I have women who come out and support my movies, and that is a huge demographic for me, which is great because some actors don't have a female base at all.
