“I do think Hollywood movies get it wrong when they show women
in action roles – they basically make them men.”
Salt was originally intended as a vehicle for Tom Cruise; the script was
successfully rewritten for Angelina Jolie when she commented
to a Sony executive, "I want to be Bond.”
"And not as a victim or as a scream queen, but as a
physically and mentally capable person."
“Conversely, The Hunger Games' Katniss Everdeen, is protective
of her sister, whose place she takes in a televised death match. But she shows
notably little desire to become a parent herself. Even her romance is partly
for show.”
“Though movies used to
oscillate, according to Wloszcyna, between the "seductive supervixen"
(Angelina Jolie in Tomb Raider) or the "macho tomboy" (Keira
Knightley in Domino), they now feature a new breed of complex,
fully-wrought female protagonists.”
“chick with a gun,”
“Croft uses her beauty to her advantage and always goes after what she
wants.”
“Katniss is by no means
traditionally feminine”
