CSUN Film The Bechdel Test for Films Discussion

/0 Comments/in /by

Description

There are a number of movies with interesting roles for women. But how many movies out there feature multiple major female characters who interact with each other? That’s the question the Bechdel Test  tries to answer. 

The Bechdel Test is a fairly simple test for the presence of women in movies.  It asks three simple questions:

Are there two or more women in the movie who have names?

Do they talk to each other?

  • Do they talk to each other about something other than a man?
  • Once you start thinking about it, you’ll be surprised by how many films don’t pass this test. In fact, there are entire genres (e.g., action-adventure) that seem to fail the Bechdel Test, by and large. Not surprisingly, male-centric movies such as Fight Club, or Lawrence of Arabia, or Das Boot don’t pass the test. But there are other notable non-passing movies include:
  • Shrek

Clerks

Big Lebowski

Home Alone

Slumdog Millionaire

The Truman Show

Lord of the Rings

Tomb Raider

and even The Princess Bride

This test doesn’t judge the quality of the movie or whether it is misogynistic, only that it doesn’t portray the interaction of two women with names dealing with something other than a man. But there have also been some interesting things written about the weaknesses of the Bechdel Test.

  • View a film with the Bechdel questions in hand. Then in a two page paper give the name of the movie and when (specifically) you watched it. Finally give detailed answers to the questions. (Who are the women characters? What do they talk about? How is the presence of women in the film different from that of men?) Make sure you are clear on whether the movie passed the test. Finally, what is your opinion of the Bechdel Test. Do you believe that it is a valid method in evaluating gender equality or is it too two-dimensional to accurately measure the message of female empowerment.

Description

General Purpose

Throughout your life—in college, with future careers, and during seemingly mundane daily activities—you will be required to make decisions. Many of your decisions will be unimportant—should we dine at Perkins or Val’s? Which shirt should I wear today? 

Other decisions will require you to complete research and use your best judgment. Your boss may ask you for a recommendation on which product line to carry. You may be the boss or founder of a business or non-profit and need to determine the best operating system for your company to use. Additionally, you may be considering a major decision that will affect you and your future. 

These decisions will require you to understand the differences between viewpoints, products, policies, and devices. 

MA #4 gives you the chance to practice and refine your research and evaluation skills needed to find quality answers to questions.

Throughout your life, you will use comparisons to help make decision:

Schools for you or your children

  • Vacation destinations

Vehicle leasing vs. vehicle buying 

  • You may compare and contrast the quality, cost, and reliability of various products:
  • Vehicles
  • Computers

Appliances

  • Audience: Imagine a semi-formal but educated audience for this piece; the sort of people who want to learn something and are looking to your paper for insight to consider before making a decision.

These folks are accustomed to researching various websites like Consumer Reports before they make a big decision. Although they have extra money, they want to spend it wisely. 

  • Point of View: Third Person – this is the most commonly used point of view in academic writing. 
  • Guidelines for Writing the Compare/Contrast Essay:
  • Select a topic/subject matter suitable for this assignment and appropriate for comparing and contrasting.

Make this assignment work for YOU. Pick a topic that you can use to help you make a decision. 

Evaluate your subjects/items using at least four criteria (elements) to determine how your subjects are alike and how they are different.

Develop a recommendation based on your research.

(Must acquire access to a copy)

In detail and addressing the novel as well as the Dream, defend one of the following thesis statements. Be sure to support your response with relevant and specific quotations (take care to not string your quotes and to avoid block quotation). Be as specific and detailed as possible. In your response go beyond a rehashing of factual details, spending time explaining “Why?” and “How?” the information conveyed is important and what are “Implications” regarding the Dream. Please address the readings and learning modules as part of your response. Avoid phrases such as: “I think,” “to me,” “in my opinion,” and “I agree.” Simply present your argument with supporting material from the course. Please cite your work using the MLA format, and provide a properly formatted Works Cited page. 12-point font, Times New Roman, 1-inch Margins, single-spaced. Minimum 1250 words.

Special note: brevity will not be rewarded! Be specific and detailed in your response. Don’t waste time making general assertions—get to the point.

BE SURE TO PROVIDE TEXTUAL SUPPORT OF YOUR POINTS!

Option A: Hemingway

In Hemingway’s evocation of the Dream, no party is held harmless, and the reader must sympathize with the most unlikely of characters while lamenting that, on the whole, the American Dream collapses upon itself.

Option B: Hurston

Janie’s American Dream is a Dream fundamentally linked to her realization of selfhood and an organic union with another in a period when women, especially women of color, are forced to accept traditional expectations of womanhood both confining and subservient.

NOTE:

In your response use a thesis driven approach. Be sure to use details from the narrative/reading to support your points. Make the connection between your points and the examples given.

For every thought/sentence/idea remember:

How so?

In what way?

For example?

Implications?
