At any time when the subject of sturdy, feminine leads comes up, the primary go-to is Ellen Ripley from the Alien motion pictures. She is all the time held up for example of why trendy feminine leads suck and why older motion pictures are higher as a result of they didn't shove the feminism within the viewers's face. Personally I disagree with the concept that all trendy feminine leads suck (some do) however that's simply my opinion. The issue I’ve is that certainly there are many different nice examples on the market apart from Ripley. Sarah Conner in T2 is usually introduced up as a robust feminine character, however she wasn't the lead. Probably the greatest examples I can consider is Samantha Caine in The Lengthy Kiss Goodnight, performed by Geena Davis. Whereas Ripley was initially written as a male character, Samantha's gender is a vital a part of her character. She embodies two completely different sides of being a lady and reconciles them ultimately. Her being a mom is essential to her character improvement. She owns her sexuality in a method that isn't for the male gaze. Plus she's the primary lady to say "Suck my dick" in a film. What are another nice examples of a robust feminine lead carried out properly? https://preview.redd.it/g73frnr2awmd1.jpg?width=1200&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=5f26a5b2870ff3fa918e60a1e7a70bde797a2cff submitted by /u/HereWeFuckingGooo |
