The women missing from the silver screen and the technology used to find them
- happy-go-lucky 9y agoGoogle, wake up, realize silver screen and society are not the same.
- bruceb 9y agoMoving talking pictures have a massive impact on how people see the world. This article wasnt condescending, relatively straight forward analysis.
- erroneousfunk 9y agoGreat research, one tiny nit-picky thing about the writing -- I was a little disappointed at their use of "Hidden Figures" to make the point that "movies centered around women resonate with audiences." "Hidden Figures" was a great movie. But it's a movie that centers around characters _being female_. I don't think we necessarily need more movies around "women," we need screenwriters to not automatically default to making their characters male when gender doesn't drive the plot/interaction with other characters.
