i am a huge hill harper fan but was still very hesitant to purchase such a low budget film with this title and the price that amazon had listed. i brought myself to buy it (because of harper) and was pleasantly surprised at how the film handled this topic. the film was easy to watch and very funny. i rarely find a film that i feel to watch again and again but i saw this already 3 times and enjoyed it each time because of how it really captures the fear some people had. this movie is interesting but still very funny and entertaining. i saved money by not going out to the movie theater the weeks i watched it so it was worth it .

cornflakes, with the reverse bechdel test, are you claiming that it’s hard to find movies with at least one instance of two male characters talking to eachother about something other than a woman? like, seriously? this is almost too silly to dignify with a response, but i’d prefer not to let it be the last word in this thread. so let’s look at only the movies that have won best picture in the last few years :
¤ she is arrogant. ¤ she is an exuberant villain. ¤ she is both mean and cruel. ¤ she is vengeful. ¤ she is emotionally repressed. ¤ she is a little nerdy. ¤ she is definitely crazy. ¤ and, well, to say that she is an insufferable know - it - all is to underrate it. ; )

i' m guessing that the reviewer who thinks the film is
making fun of human fears
hasn' t seen the movie. he might want to watch it, or see it again. it would probably help him cope with the very real fears he mentions. after all, it depicts hill harper' s character coping with those fears, trying to protect his family and friends in a world where any protection is uncertain. if, like his character, you' ve ever wondered whether to build a bomb shelter, flee the country, or avoid bringing children into this world, watch this movie. ps - - at the moment amazon has this film linked with the stoned age in one of its
bargain packages
which, as usual, won' t save you a cent over buying dvds separately. i haven' t seen the other movie, but it' s description suggests a film that is very different in tone from this is not a test .

your character is having trouble in his marriage and life when he believes a nuclear attack will hit. what can people learn from him? harper: we can learn to be prepared for the future, but to not let it consume us. the movie is about fear. my character' s outside fear of terrorism is covering his underlying fear of connection and family. by the end he learns it doesn' t matter what happens, and what matters is that you are connected. there will always be crazy things that happen in our lives, but love is the central connector. if we commit to love and partnership, the other stuff doesn' t matter .

the particular purpose of the study was not revealed to the participants; they were only informed that the study investigated second language acquisition. the counterbalanced design of the tests worked as a control for possible differences between test materials and groups. half of the subjects were tested with one half of the materials as pre and the other half of the materials as post - test, whilst the rest of participants had the pre - post - test materials reversed. pilot tests (results not included here) were performed before running the actual experiment (one on a native english speaker and two to spanish students) in order to adjust parameters and overall duration, and also assess the reliability and sensitivity of the tasks .

the vocabulary test consisted of 15 definition - matching items in order to capture possible passive acquisition of new words. the target words of the vocabulary test were low frequency english words (approximately 50 times per million words) that appeared in relatively high frequency during the episode (3 to 11 instances). hence we thought it likely that most subjects did not know these words before and could acquire them during the episode. the word frequency, type, cognation and register or “area of use” was balanced between the two sets of test words (for a more detailed description of the tasks see s2 file) .

yay. you’ve mention vitually all of my favourite female characters in one article – ripley, sarah connor, lisa simpson, cj from ww, elliot. i notice the posters above, have also mention leela from futurama. excellent. amelie poulain is a good example of a female lead who is far from 2 dimensional. great film. although clearly audrey tatou (sp ?) is a very attractive woman, this is not what makes amelie as a character – it is her idiosyncracies that make the audience so enthralled by her. willow from buffy deserves a mention here too, especially in the early series when she had yet to make the transition from geeky nerd to hot lesbian witch .
1) when you get a film with a notable beefcake factor, people make a huge deal of it. 300 is the clearest example, but i saw like three soft - news pieces about how the shot in casino royale where danny craig walks dripping out of the ocean was “payback” for the decades of gratuitous bond girls. certainly there is beefcake, but it’s rare enough to be newsworthy. a similar shot of a woman (of which there were several in that film, come to think of it) would not occasion comment .

so what flaws can female characters have? how about the same flaws a male character would have? this is especially important in comedies, because many male writers are so clueless about writing funny women that female characters in sitcoms, sitcomish - movies, and comics tend to be the smart, gorgeous snarky voice of reason in an unreasonable world. in other words, not flawed and not funny .

great film, hilariously acted, tom arnold at his best. it does a lot of emotion and humor in simple situations that are truly funny and tugs at the romantic in me. it' s a date movie and a comedy in one and a lot of subtle and great film - making in it. the main character (and this film) have a lot of heart. there' s a great flow about it and the city itself is a great character, too. as someone who loves 24, and lives in la, i thought this really captures the sense of place and the ridiculousness of being afraid of the news. it has a surprise ending that really got me thinking. the main point shows us something funny in terrorism and the world of paranoia. i laughed out loud. rent it .

what i disagree with is the idea that this is done out of a malice, incompetence or narrowness of mind specifically geared toward women on behalf of filmmakers. i think it’s largely a choice made out of laziness, a lack of organizational will on behalf of studios to depart from the status quo, and an effort to please a prejudiced audience (katie couric’s ratings show that it’s not just men who are prejudiced against female news anchors, for example) .
i’m going to venture and suggest that perhaps the reason feminist critics “always have a hard time finding movies and tv shows that follow the bechdel rule” is because of their ideological slant. marxist critics probably also have trouble finding accurate and empowering portrayals of the proletariat in mass media. which does not mean it’s not there .
3. again, this is my point of view, but most of the hollywood hunks have some talent (brad pitt, leonardo dicaprio, christian bale, and – i hate to say it – tom cruise hop to mind). i have a really hard time thinking of a hollywood starlet who is also a good actress. i guess keira knightly is ok ?

and on historic dramas. the tudors, aside from being inordinately dull tv, is perhaps the most sexist thing i have seen in long time. there is not a single female character that is not a pawn being pushed around or fucked by men. the women have no power, no voice, and no purpose of their own – but what makes it worse is that its allegedly portraying a period of history and a class within which women had a remarkable amount of power. less educated and intelligent stateswomen, and more pretty slutty play things. then again, the male characters are mostly stupid and boring cardboard cut - outs as well .

for some reason, stokes’ # 4 point about the male pov as megan fox fixes a car reminded me of “better off dead. ” in that movie, monique, the french exchange student, is still seen from the male pov as she fixes a car, but lane’s first view of her (iirc; i haven’t seen it in a while) is of her feet, in sturdy boots. when she slides out from under the car, she’s dressed to work on a car (all in black, i think) and her face is smudged with motor oil. she’s adorably cute, but not really all that hawt; lane isn’t seeing her as a sexual object (well, maybe a little–he is a 17 - year - old boy, after all), but as this amazing person who is doing something he hasn’t been able to do: get his camaro to run. granted, this is an 80s teen movie and not a present - day action flick, but that’s the scene i thought of when i started thinking about the male pov in car - fixing scenes. i don’t really have a point to make with that. : - )
saying that “he’s a swimmer, of course he’s naked” is like saying “of course she’s covered in grease, she’s a mechanic. ”
in the film' s original climax, the main characters, realizing that they will never truly be safe, choose to commit suicide rather than join the legions of the walking dead. the film was to conclude with a haunting final shot of our heroine fran shoving her head into her helicopter' s propeller. this was of course an allegory for america' s failing educational system .
if this argument just boiled down to “mlawski is a woman and therefore is just focusing on women and ignoring the plight of men in film, ” then i would expect that it would be just as difficult to find films that followed the opposite of the bechdel test. in that world, just as it would be nearly impossible to find women developed enough as characters to talk to and about something other than men and romance, it would be just as impossible to find films in which men only talked to or about women and romance. but that’s simply not true. male characters tend to be the leads, stories tend to be from their point of view, and their characters tend to be more varied. can we agree on that, at least ?

what struck her from the first moment was the fact that so many witnesses were never asked and so many facts were ignored. the film is trying to dig in much deeper .
5) you don’t see the shots because you are not looking for them, and because they are usually contextualized in some other way because it is socially unacceptable to identify what is really going on. one classic one is the “wounded hero shows us his scars” shot. also consider any jean - claude van damme movie. consider the naked terminator. there is example after example .

lien heidenreich - seleme, head of cultural programmes at the goethe - institut, added: “the goals of the goethe - institut are to support film within the creative industries and to undo with stereotypes through visual storytelling. we do this with training and networking initiatives, through interdisciplinary and pan - african collaborations, and by increasing access to the variety of german filmmaking. in this light, and after our longstanding relationship with diff, we are excited about this year’s german focus. ”
finally, in the post - test phase, in addition to the listening and the vocabulary tests, participants responded to 8 comprehension questions about the story they had just watched in order to evaluate their level of attention and comprehension of the episode .
what fenzel said is true, i think what you’re going for is just good characters, ones with depth and realistic qualities. but the focus of this article is on action movies. yeah, you bring up women from other genres in what you want at the end, but the comparisons you make in the bulk of the piece all have to do with movies where strength in the physical sense is necessary for some of the scenarios that will pop up because of the genre of the film .
the original ending is available as a bonus scene on the dvd / bluray release, where it is advertised as the
controversial original ending .
yes, coming to a peaceful reconciliation with your enemies is now more controversial than blowing them right the fuck up .
loved it – absolutely brilliant – not enough of the right female characters on screen and just about every female that’s described as “strong” is still somehow attached to a guy. depth people. for heaven’s sake let’s have more of it .
sorry to interrupt the great discussion, but i’m not against flawed female characters, listentoreason. i’m for them. reread the article .
the mummy 3 gets the thumbs up from me as an action movie which passes the bechdel test. three kickass women with families and jobs who help save the universe as a hobby. admittedly it’s the only one i can think of at present, but i loved it for that .
but the important thing to note is that i can still disagree with part or whole of a given idea about the male gaze or how movies set social and behavioral norms and still be a feminist. and i am. but i’m also a bit of a new critic, which is a somewhat unhappy ideological marriage .
oh, and a quick note on depressed characters. the lack of depressed female characters is probably due less to any gender issues than to the fact that when you’re depressed, you tend to spend a lot of time in bed, avoiding people. not exactly gripping cinema .
perhaps the saddest thing about all this is that it shows that no one involved really believed in the message of the final product. they didn' t produce a film in order to convey any kind message, they just strung together a bunch of cool scenes and called it a movie. one more reason why audience feedback isn' t always the best guide, as anyone who has read youtube comments will happily tell you .
is it unfair to say that everything that was good about superman ii was due to donner, and that all of the goofy parts were lester' s fault? let' s put it this way: when lester was finally given control of an entire film from the start, he gave the world superman iii .
so it looks like hollywood is offering something for everyone, but you’re not satisfied. is your contempt of nerdy males so intense that you want to deny them the kind of entertainment they prefer? do you believe that stupidly - written movies _ create _ nerdy males ?
above and beyond phonological re - tuning, another important aspect of l2 learning is vocabulary. some previous studies have found that audiovisuals with subtitles can help acquire new vocabulary [ 19, 21, 22 ]. written presentation seems to help single out unknown words from the spoken stream [ 23 ] and, according to some studies, the integration of sound, video and spelling leads stronger memory trace than visual and audio stimuli alone [ 24 ]. yet, this has not been unequivocally established [ 25 ]. we therefore decided to test vocabulary acquisition of the written words in the subtitles.
