The Bechdel test or "classifier films Mo '
00:00:07
is a kind of litmus test that evaluates the presence of women in movies
00:00:11
It originated in the comic Allison Bechdel
00:00:14
"Dykes to watch out for" 1985.
00:00:16
It works like this: a film that has just passed these three simple questions:
00:00:21
First: There are two or more women in the film, whose name?
00:00:25
Second: talk to each other?
00:00:28
And the third: talk to each other about something other than a man?
00:00:33
It's pretty amazing the amount of Movies that do not exceed the test.
00:00:36
Furthermore, it is an indicator of whether a film is feminist or if good
00:00:40
only shows if there are female prescence in it, and how they talk about something other than men.
00:00:45
To prove that this is a systemic problem is real and not just in some movies here and there,
00:00:49
I can show a couple of films that do not pass the test.
00:00:52
* Instrumental *
00:01:15
* Instrumental *
00:01:17
* Instrumental *
00:01:21
OK, I've understood. These are just a few of the many films that do not pass this test.
00:01:28
When you call a systemic problem
00:01:30
what I mean is, there are only a few people here and there who do not appreciate women
00:01:34
or do not want to explain women's stories, but rather that the entire industry
00:01:39
is based on the creation of films that meet the men and dealing with them.
00:01:45
The next time you go to the movies, just get yourself these questions:
00:01:48
There are two or more women in the film, they have names?
00:01:51
Talk to each other? And talk to each other about something other than a man?
