The vast majority of films still failing the Bechdel Test
I’ve blogged before about the Bechdel test.
The Bechdel Test was inspired by animator Alison Bechdel’s 1985 tongue-in-cheek comic strip ‘The Rule’. In order for a film to pass The Bechdel Test, it must have at least two named female characters, who have a conversation with each other about something other than a man.
You’d be surprised how few movies meet this test. One that will is the remake of “Ghostbsters” which is due to be released this summer. Astonishingly the film has attracted a massive backlash even before it’s been released. Could this be a case of misogyny?
