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.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
There aren't enough good roles for strong women. I wish we had more female writers. Most of the female characters you see in films today are the 'poor heartbroken girl.'
It's frustrating we still don't see more movies featuring strong women.
There are a lot of women screenwriters, but they are obviously outnumbered by men. And it still is a very much male-dominated industry.
Critics often say, 'Oh she makes films about strong women'. Wrong; I make films about complex characters and the choices they make.
I've always been slightly hesitant about generalizing movies made by men and women being different in their nature; I think movies by each director are different. Having said that, I think that it's kind of disgraceful that there aren't more female directors.
Women have to take more control of their careers. They can't just wait to be cast in a film.
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.
There are few films where you have women really driving the plot.
There was an interesting article in Los Angeles Magazine about women directors. A woman director makes one bad independent film and her career is over. Guys tend to get an opportunity to learn from their mistakes.
Hollywood is hard on women.
