    To get an "A'' rating, a movie must pass the so-called Bechdel test, which means it must have at least two named female characters who talk to each other about something other than a man. "The entire 'Lord of the Rings' trilogy, all 'Star Wars' movies, 'The Social Network,' 'Pulp Fiction' and all but one of the 'Harry Potter' movies fail this test," said Ellen Tejle, the director of Bio Rio, an art-house movie theater in Stockholm's trendy Sodermalm district.
    Actually pretty interesting

    does the movie get an "A" if the women sit in a kitchen, as they should, and talk about making dinner?

    Kind of a lame criterion. I don't think the idea is all bad, but female characters having arbitrary conversations is not equality. Is Saving Private Ryan a demonstration of gender bias because it doesn't have two females talking to each other? Were the ladies in the typing pool supposed to discuss typewriter ribbon preferences so the film can get an A rating?

    A better approach would be to give all films an A to start with and if anything in the film is a clear demonstration of gender bias then points are taken off.

    This is literally retarded Might as well add to the criterion "must have a black dude, asian dude, indian dude, black woman, asian woman etc" talkin about something other than white people

    While they're at it, must have at least one muslim, one jew, one budhist talk about something religious other than christianit

    You're such a clown.

    First of all, the girl behind the project works for a single independent hipster cinema which focuses on art bogus. Nobody even goes to those cinemas to start with, so you judge a country based on the non-harmin actions of an independent hipster cinema.

    And regarding Sweden's immigrants, based on percentage the US takes in more immigants per year compared to Sweden.

    If someone's a *****, it's definitely you.

    If there is no money shot at the end, the film does not get an A.

    Not liking how hipsters rate films makes a place a vile shithole? Brooklyn must be a horrific place if hipster values are a key rating indicator.

    choose your poison well, DCL.

    under such a system, a "money shot" would mean one character reading a long letter left by another, tears rolling down cheeks, followed by a three-minute panoramic fadeout.

    The Bechdel test was named after:



    Anyway, the reason this militant feminism finds so little resonance in society is because they focus on the wrong things, like this Bechdel test. "Eewww, why don't all these male writers and male directors create movies with multiple interesting leading female characters????". Instead they should be thinking about why there are so few females writing or creating decent movies even though they have every opportunity in the world to do so. This is not a male problem, even though that is all they are focusing on.

    Niko,

    I was on line at a celebrated Thai place in Brooklyn and had these superannoying Manhattanites behind me on their first trip to Kings County. Among other things I learned from them is that
    If Brooklyn was its own city, it would be the second largest city in America behind Manhattan. (Actually, it would be LA, Chicago, Brooklyn, Queens, Houston and then Manhattan.) Also apparently "half of Brooklyn is a ghetto."



    Food was unbelievably good, but damn these yuppies were annoying.

    well, i think the feminist rebuttal to that would be that they dont have equal opportunity to make films, as audiences are sexist, and arent interested in seeing woman-centric films, so they dont get made.

    A. So this means the Bechdel test is from that pussified country called America.

    B. Your analysis of the issues misses the point of economics. There are tons and tons of women novelists being published. It's not like the stories aren't there. The difference between a book and movie is finance. The studios would have put money into them.
