This reminds me of my younger bro & the whole Kellogg’s Frosties debacle.
A litmus test of sorts to check for any substantial, meaningful and influential female presence (if any!) in movies, especially the popular blockbusters.
The Bechdel test consists of 3 really simple questions:
While these 3 questions seem rather basic or redundant, you will be surprised and in my case a tad astonished to discover just how many movies – including many Oscar-winning movies and box-office hits – that all completely fail the Bechdel Test. Appalling. Kinda reveals and sheds a little stage-light (spot-light’s on the dudes mostly sadly) on how women are perceived and perhaps even treated in the movie industry. What’s worse??? Besides women being generally under-represented, the stereotypical characters they play may shape our own perception of women’s roles and responsibilities subconsciously.
So I tried applying this test to the current movies being screened at home, in Singapore…and I er…gave up. GAH. Hmm..do The Runaways count?
So pray tell…what’s the last movie you caught that passed the Bechdel test?
