Which films you think have done the girl Power thing right, without shoving feminism down to our throats.?
I’d say
The Devil wears Prada
Legally Blond
Clueless
Wonder Woman
The Avengers films with Black Widow and Scarlet Witch.
Erin Brockovitch.
American Mary.
shareI'll take off Erin Brockovitch because she manipulates men with her body.
That doesn't empower women, that reduces them to temptresses.
No she wasn’t, okay she used her beauty a bit in her advantage but what made her win was her perseverance in the case and winning her clients trust.
She knew the people she was defending and fought hard to win. She was a true fighter
She was using the weapons at her disposal. She manipulated them and then made sure they knew it. I think it's awesome.
shareNo, it reduces men to suckers. Nothing wrong with using what you have.
shareadd the craft to the list
shareSee, I don’t know about this one. They were certainly girls WITH powers, but overall it’s not what I’d call a positive portrayal of women. All but one of the female characters are psycho bitches from Hell.
shareGirl power also means a female’s character or morals? I thought girl power meant women doing guy things without guys being needed. Something like that.
share👍😂you boys are funny.
shareThelma and louise. My best friend and say we are going to end our days like this 😅
sharePariah, The White Rose, Summer with Monika, Booksmart, Wadjda, Midsommar, The Breadwinner, Persepolis, Night Is Short Walk on Girl, The Florida Project, The Hunger Games, Mustang, I Smile Back, The Spirit of the Beehive, Fucking Amal, The Unbelievable Truth, Thoroughbred
shareDon’t really buy into the “right way” to do a feminist film – for me, it’s just about personal preference and what works for you. Sometimes in your-face-feminism works and sometimes subtle feminism works.
Here are some films that I think work:
Ever After
Girl, Interrupted
Ghost
Gothika
Power Rangers
Mean Girls
Mortal Kombat
Mulan
Pitch Perfect
Practical Magic
The Addams Family
The Help
Zootopia
And here are some others have listed, that I agree with:
A League of Their Own
Alien
Booksmart
Captain Marvel
Clueless
Spice World
The Craft
The Descent
Wonder Woman
