Have you ever noticed that there is somewhat of a correlation between great and enduring movies and the number of female parts in them.
Lawrence of Arabia
Saving Private Ryan
Schindlers List
Ben Hur
Very few females in these movies.
That’s because Hollywood is run by homos and they know what their audience wants to see.
Gone with the Wind, Sound of Music, Wizard of Oz, etc....and your point?
What, you didn't think Columbiana wasn't an instant classic?
Yes that was sarcasm,
Sci-fi, Action/Adventure, Sword and Sandle, these genres have been totally ruined by the empowered fighting female cliche.
For some reason over & over again in every movie now there's no more Alpha males, instead we get the empowered fighting female!! Yep, that thin chick wearing tight leather and heals, who despite being only 89lbs can easily out perform and out fight her male counterparts.
That's why Hollywood is losing money, because once the "Wow! She is really hot, when is she going to be naked?" factor wears off, watching a 89lb waif beat up multiple 260+lbs guys gets pretty old pretty fast
One of the greatest movies of all time, IMHO, was ‘Shawshank Redemption’, and I don’t recall a female having a single line in that movie.
Those are all great and enduring HISTORICAL movies. Great and enduring fiction requires a good female lead.
Casablanca.
Gone with the Wind.
The Wizard of Oz.
Star Wars.
The African Queen.
