Women in Film

[gcin]

I am basically excited and concerned about the cover of Rolling STone magazine and some of the articles around the Grindhouse movies that I have read. My concern is this:
a) The more society embraces women as useful, productive and equal members of society i.e. 1) Sports, the WNBA, that woman empire 2) Politics with Hillary Clinton, Nancy Pelosi 3 Television Tyra Banks and Oprah 4) and Even film with Sofia Coppola, the more we objectify women. this
1) ties into women in sports, who work out every day of their life, posing as models. and
2) movies like Grindhouse where these resepectable actresses admit to the fact that they were completely objectified in horendous scenarios in these movies, and that they had no creative input into the movies they were making what so freaking ever (there is a line in which Rosario Dawson says that Quentin Tarantino wouldn't even let her change the line "the".
My thesis is like, maybe, this is O.K. And maybe, as American Society gets a little more equilibrium, this will continue to be O.K. because women are creatures and they make choices. And that if you dedicate your life to be being an actor you will be used a lot without your own creative input. I feel that way when I act which is O.K. but I also want to have control. Anyway, I think the raging popularity of these movies is a testament to how interesting these insights are. Anyway, I think I have put a lot of issues in this which traces back to my university days when we had the leisure to discuss things all freaking day long. But this is important because my favorite movies are the ones with banging women, who I also respoect by the way!
