Park Life 70 Posted September 19, 2016 Share Posted September 19, 2016 "The fallacy in Hollywood is that if you’re making a 'feminist' story, the woman kicks ass and wins," Portman said. "That’s not feminist, that’s macho. A movie about a weak, vulnerable woman can be feminist if it shows a real person that we can empathize with." As a young feminist, Portman articulates a growing concern I have about Hollywood’s take on the new and improved "feminist" figure. Many movies consider themselves progressive because women suddenly have swords. This new archetype is just as one-dimensional as the Manic Pixie Dream Girl. As New York Times columnist Carina Chocano wrote, replacing the damsel in distress with a strong female character only "reinforces the unspoken idea that in order for a female character to be worth identifying with, she should really try to rein in the gross girly stuff." As a feminist who likes wearing dresses and doesn’t know how to sucker-punch, this sends me the same message that has been sent to boys for decades: "man up."

Alex 30339 Posted September 29, 2016 Share Posted September 29, 2016 Well, that's quite ambiguous really. I mean I think that doesn't necessarily set him apart from many of his peers. I don't really know anything about it so was wondering but that's probably nothing unusual in the context of the 30s. As for the interpretation of his works, if you've done any sort of academic criticism of any body of work you come to realise that people will put almost any interpretation on anything. I like Meryl Streep but it seems a bit unfair if that's all there is to it. Not meant as a defence of him btw. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I suspect the latter would greatly increase the chances of the former, but yes, I take your point. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
