yes, totally! my mom and i do that all the time lol, it just shows the level of unconditional intimacy, love and trust there's between a mother and her daughter

true. I could relate so much

Mother daughter relationships are so difficult to navigate. It's a good scene!

How many times I've had this exact moment with my mom... truly movie magic

This is why writing women is so much fun. You can flow from one thought to another completely different thought without needing to explain too much, then let the contrasting thoughts complement. Writing from a female perspective also allows you to layer emotions and desires rather than roll them out one at a time, as with a male character. Women add so much to the subtext of their stories. And subtext is where all the fun meaty parts of a story are.

I think they clarified this was a pun that didn't come across through voiceover. It was meant to be "there's no wrong way to RIGHT women."

@@jackfinn8592 Yeah, but it's not really clear. That line, ironically enough, needed work

@God of Nothing No, there is no wrong way to write any kind of character. You can make every type of character interesring, with the right story... Its more the "how" than the "what" or "why", when we talk about quality. And just like in real life, there are all kinds of people.

There is no wrong way to write a woman nor is there a right way. There is no wrong way to write a character. Theres just a character type that you dont like that you think is wrong.

I see it as wrong ways of writing characters is possible it shouldn’t matter of their gender, that isn’t well put but hopefully you interpret it as I meant

maybe you should express your opinion more respectful

No, there is no wrong way to write any kind of character. You can make every type of character interesring, with the right story... Its more the how than the what, when we talk about quality. And just like in real life, there are all kinds of people.

Exactly! This guy is playing into stereotypes meaning this video turns out to be ultimately hypocritical and pretty much demeaning to women.

I completely agree with you. The act of revenge in movies are often played by a male role so when a character of the opposite gender walks in with the motivation to avenge whatever it is they’re avenging it’s always perceived as masculine, general stuff like this can make creating a strong female character more difficult as people will often think of them as masculine which can often destroy the creators idea of making a female character. The main character of kill bill will always remain as a great example of a strong feminine character to me no matter what people will say.

cynicallygreen How exactly does him getting one thing wrong ruin the video lol.

I just found it ridiculous he looked at Kill Bill Pt 1. without referencing the sequel at all. If you've seen both the films, you are given so much more context to why The Bride is who she is, and i so hell-bent on revenge. And the "death of her femininity" statement is also ridiculous if you've seen the 2nd part. It's the death of her freedom from Bill, being able to have a normal, fulfilled life, and a chance for her child to live in a world un-tethered to the sins of her father. Not to mention her pregnancy completely changes her outlook on life. And being pregnant is something exclusive to the experience of being a woman and it's completely ignored.

He says “this movie doesn’t tap into a distict female experience” however 1. She was pregnant during her wedding. 2. at the end of vol. 2 she realizes she is a mother with is probably the MOST distinct female experience.

RIGHT?? That's all I could think about during that portion of the video.

I know right? She showed like, no aggression while she killed all those people. Totally not a masculine trait.

LOL Right.

He said “a masculine role” as in role in a movie, like the kind of movie part a man would play, not a role in the world

I mean, those mothers are indeed masculine in character, but they’re still Women

Like you said there are very few positive traits traditionally considered feminine in popular culture, or at least fewer than there are positive traits considered masculine. But have you seen this video essay on femininity in cinema? I found it pretty awesome. /playlist?list=PLJA_jUddXvY7EjlefWLnxCzLbBHU4Dz6R

kzfaq.info/get/bejne/rdOCa6Rixp7XmJ8.html

I did not but I have now. That was very good, and thank you so much for pointing it my way!

Exactly! This video was pretty much hypocritical and sexist because of this, using the word 'masculine' in association with strength, aggression etc. is so wrong.

cynicallygreen Oh, for crying out loud. Have you ever read any feminist theory in your life? Masculinity is associated with strength and other positive traits because it was constructed to be this way. Femininity and masculinity are used to solidify a gender hierarchy based on sex so they aren’t “equal but different” characteristics. People are not sexist for pointing out that masculinity is of higher value because this is the reality of living in a sexist society which made them so. Throughout all the ages people have had to “perform masculinity” to be respected and to elevate status as gender is learned behaviour rather than innate. Femininity is not deemed positive outside of individualist practise or its benefits to masculinity.

ChuckSmallvilleLOTR also when the woman sicario decide not to kill her because she is pregnant! A man sicario would have killed her

I appreciate you both mentioning these scenes. They do seem to question my assumption that The Bride is exclusively masculine. I will say, Tarantino is still tapping into the "code" of old masculine Westerns --- watch the scene right before the final duel in Once Upon a Time in the West. Both men follow these arbitrary rules about how the duel is supposed to take place, as if there is some "decent" way you're supposed to kill someone. Of course, an exact replica of this "code" is at the beginning of Kill Bill, when Bill won't kill The Bride because she is in a coma, something along the lines of "it's not fair to kill somebody when they can't defend themselves." The pregnant scene is the same deal -- she's pregnant, so it violates the "rules." I didn't want to mention that scene because it opens up a whole new can of worms, but I will say that Tarantino is STILL using masculine ideas of honor, justice, and "getting what you deserve" and applying them to two female characters. So despite a scene that is clearly a female experience -- finding out you are pregnant -- it's still encapsulated in this masculine vibe. AND THERE'S NOTHING WRONG WITH THAT AT ALL. But it is worth noting. This is Tarantino's hallmark, and also what makes him such a great director, taking characters who never got to be traditional action heroes and letting them be the traditional hero -- Women, Black People, Jewish people. But the tradeoff is that he has to sacrifice some of the feminine, black, or jewish experience in order to let them fulfill the fantasy of being badass. I would love to hear your thoughts.

I do see the plot as The Bride losing her possible life as a woman. But Bill’s Superman speech revealed that she never really changed. The life she lost, as a traditional wife, was just her “secret identity”. Then at the end, she became a mother. The role of gender and sex in the Kill Bill movies is over-simplified in this video.

@@karlmuster263 i agree. she takes on a masculine role in order to become a mother.

The ending of Kill Bill 2 kind of subverts your expectations that she'll have a victory the exact same way as her male counterparts, too. She still gets her revenge though

Heh, KZfaq's top recommended video for me after this one was Closer Look's "How To Write Great Dialogue". Six minutes in, we're on Silence of the Lambs.

I agree

I don't think he was necessarily adhering to those standards himself out of his own personal molds but rather reflecting on how tropes are subjected (as feminity and masculinity are pretty much tropes on themselves).

Yeah, it definitely sounds like he’s playing a lot of what he doesn’t realize are stereotypes and, therefore, literally contradicting his own point

If anything, women are the ones hellbent on taking revenge and destroying peoples lives.

Yeah, I was also confuse. His video didn't have a point it was trying to bring accross, it was just a bunch of examples.

This dude seems to think that because she's ruthless and Badass, she's masculine? To me her mama bear shit is a classic female fantasy. It just uses a bunch of masculine tropes.. But isn't that a part of the fantasy, too? Getting shit done the way I man is allowed to. "O that I were a man! I would eat his heart in the marketplace!"

YES

That is a really interesting take on it.

What does this mean?

Then I guess you would agree both feminity and masculinity are arbitrary standards for classifying human character? Even then I think we can't deny that it is a trope that was often reserved to male characters and a female character taking on the role represents a subversion of it (or at least did in those earlier takes. It's pretty much become a trope of its own by now). I think that although we should strive to stop gendering behaviour ignoring its relevance in current times and media may be a bit of a waste when you could further exploit their potential to be analyzed within a referential framework, in contrast to enabling the status quo or missing out on some narrative goods by going in as a complete outsider. Unless you just wanna have fun that way, that's perfectly fine too. Just a contribution with my own perspective though.

Exactly! This video pissed me off so much because it was so the opposite of what it was actually trying to preach. This person needs to educate themselves more if they're a male making a video about writing women.

Dude i was just flipping through an old book i have from the 1850s called extraordinary lives, about people who did great things i guess, but the chapters are arranged into categories like politicians, scientists, artists, whatever, but then there is a separate chapter called WOMEN lol. Interesting planet we live on... It’s funny how no woman thinks of men as being a separate species for lack of a better word, but even the little dude who made this video who probably pays good money from his parents to take gender studies classes in college hah, even this little millennial dude is making content like this that is derived on a base level from a fundamental view of women being a derivation on the original model. we should be grateful he gave us his rib ladies haha

@@digitalsalsas women are completely different though & it's only now when we get to look back in leisure & judge the course of human history. They are unlike men, a lamer example being most of them shrieking because there is a bug on the wall, but in the man's mind, grabbing something to capture the bug with is his first priority. Men stormed the beaches of Normandy, not women. Women can give birth & biologically nurture an infant, a man can't. I don't understand all the animosity. Women should admit they suck too. P.s. never heard anyone talk as much shit about a women, than Another Woman.

@The Earth Is Dying Because Of You yep, humans suck. I question anyone who seems to talk down to other people. I don't care what u got between your legs, I just care about your individual actions. Later

CommonClayoftheNewWest are you saying the reactions to seeing a bug are gendered????? I have had to collect bugs from rooms for so, so many men because they were too scared. You don’t have a very realistic view of life if you genuinely believe that reactions like these are not only based on gender, but also warrant the need to separate women’s achievements into a lesser category. I’m not sure you have experienced and spoken to a wide range of people if you don’t think that women and men can share exceptionally similar characteristics. Also I can guarantee that men bitch about women just as much as women do. You are trying to sound logical, but your logic is based off of blatant stereotypes, and it sounds like you haven’t had much real-world experience in your life to be drawing from.

@@kiaz1st yeah they aren't lesser. Were equal, just different. Im Pretty sure it wasn't your grandma dropping behind enemy lines in the 101st airborne, back when millions of Men were murdering eachother in WW2 (though women played a massive role behind the front line) I try being a realist. Obviously women can be just as resilient in ways & certainly not every man is, manly. Good for you, being one of the special ones but generally speaking, its not like I'm spewing lies so man up!, right? Society tells us to suppress our emotions as a male on a daily basis. Therefore, Welcome.. to 2020's equality! No cherry picking equal rights here,. Maybe join skyscraper construction or work in the sewers of cities, bcuz statistically speaking, there's a severe lacking of women in those departments. Thx

Michael Bay does a lot consistently, little of it good.

Is there really though ? It all depends on your moral values which is worth a whole life of debate on its own. And even if a universal moral ground was found (which is impossible in itself), you'd still have to debate whether or not means of expression like litterature, cinema or video games need to abide by those rules. Which I don't think they should. (I don't disagree with you for the most part, but I'd like to point out that thise is not as clear as you make it sound)

@@arenkai I don't consider it a moral question, I just prefer movies that focus on storytelling and less on seeing how many explosions can be fit in the shortest time possible. I would say there is a wrong way to portray women. It's not wrong to focus on a person's sexuality in a story, so long as it relates to the story. If the female character is only there to be an eye candy reward, I'd say the character was done wrong, because it will pull me out of the story to see characters used as things. It is just a personal opinion, but I think it's one that a lot of people share to some degree.

He did in another comment that it's a pun but you can't catch it because he's says it "there is no wrong way to RIGHT women"

arenkai you are correct! Everything is fluid, life is chaos! But I think anyone who thinks a woman is an object is a piece of shit and shouldn’t be making movies with corporate partnerships.

lol how could you miss that, it's in the title!

Yeah, but I hadnt quite realised the similarities with confronting Buffalo Bill in his basement, and her old memory of searching for and finding the lambs in the basement. The similarities were shown beautyfully in this video.

Ahah same, felt like facepalming

Duh...

AGREED spirited away is my favorite movie and their woman characters are so well made

I’m not really a fan :/ I feel like their girl characters are really screamy and dramatic and it’s a little annoying... but the movie about the moving house is indeed fantastic! I love it so much!

Goat Koala Г.С huh 👁👄👁 first of all 1. The only female characters that are screamy and whiny are the little girl characters that are 3 years old. And if it’s not, it’s used as a starting point to pave the way for character development. second, the adult female characters don’t do that. third, those are only in the American dubs, American dubs are way too cartoonish and overreacting. Just watch the japanese audio w subtitles

@@rat1709 agreed. I grew up with the Spirited Away dub, and loved it, but Chihiro's voice did at times annoy me as an adult. Then i watched the sub a while back and adored it. The dub is great and i have a soft spot for it, but the subs are just so soft on the ears, i don't know how to explain it😂😂 but screamy dramatic and annoying? Never. Human? Yes.

Princess Mononoke was cool

EXACTLY! This quote almost made it into the video (great movie, btw).

This is not an accurate statement. Hell, even the movie you are quoting showed the contrast with that statement. There are a LOT of strong female characters with reason and accountability going back decades, as illustrated in the video you just watched. Was the quoted mind set more common? Yes for sure. Of course now we are reaching a polar opposite mindset where the way the "media" defaults to write women is as a Mary Sue. We will find a balance some day. PS - this is not a knock with the Mary Sue thing. Keanu Reeves and Vin Diesel have made a career out of playing Mary Sue's. More so a product of lazy writing than sexism in my opinion.

RogelioDelaToro Solid point.

the Lost Q Many of the best female characters are "Mary Sue's." Clarice and Ripley would fit the criteria, and they're beloved. The Bride is a cheap caricature and the girl in Lady Bird is so realistic it renders her completely uninteresting. We're going to keep finding things problematic till there's nothing left to write about.

The mainstream media has proven itself to be unreliable, just like how it loves to label women as irresponsible, it labels men just as often as abusive and homophonic when the narrative is convenient.

Well, we have "the man experience" too. But since the beginnings of cinema (and earlier) it has been relabeled as "the default experience.""

Moffat wrote some good female characters; Sparrow, River (Season 4-5), Amy, Bill Potts, Nancy, Kovarian, Adler (arguably)

What are your thoughts on Imperator Furiosa? Because she literally *drives* the movie, but her struggles do stem from how men treated her.

Damn you must not watch a lot Of movies or tv shows theres Many & a multitude of female Charecters that are compelling And have well rounded personalities you just Ignore them like most People do, Because People unironically see All women as victims and always downplay Their accomplushments Or charecters that are Well written because The Victim mentality Is too strong Reducing women To just victims Taking away their Agency or responsiblity.

She is stereotypically masculine, that's what he's getting at. The whole point is that she is replacing a man in a role that for most of cinematic history has been reserved for the male - although I don't think he's correct on the whole revenge = masculine thing, because the idea of a mother avenging the death of the unborn child she was carrying is a nigh female-exclusive experience. (Not to mention, the stereotype of the aggressive "mama bear" defending her children)

In addition, I think it’d be cool to see more female comic relief characters. Movies really seem to lack in that area unfortunately.

Lily Sullivan thank you for saying that! The only female comic relief characters I can think of off the top of my head is the “fat pervy girl” and I really want more than that lol.

Keyboard Cockatoo I know right! It’s really disappointing :/

Lily Sullivan Definitely

I think its true. Its not about writing a woman. Its about writing a good character. If you write a good character, then it doesnt matter if its man or woman.

"Long ago, there lived Jane, who strolled down the street with her massive breasts glistening in the sunlight. After turning the corner, her tits bounced when she stumbled with John, the hunk-of-a-man the entire town was talking about. Jane had never seen John up close. Standing before her was a wall of muscles, a chiseled chin, and icy green eyes that gazed down at her with the devil's smile. Jane immediately wet herself, and her nipples got hard and erect. What is going on with me? she thought. This wasn't like her. Why was she getting all flustered before a man who could easily tear her apart with his powerful arms?" Yup. There are for sure horrible ways to write women. And the example above is one of them. The scariest part is, that example I just created was inspired by REAL authors who have published REAL books. I cannot believe how dogshit some authors--both men and women--can be when it comes to writing characters. Actually insane how they get approved and published. I'm looking at you romance-fantasy authors.

Bautista Alonso I watched it with a few girls I was living with and at the end myself and a few of them were really emotional, whereas some of them thought it was boring and didn’t relate. I guess it’s more of a personal experience rather than a universal female experience!

I’m a woman who found it considerably boring. Maybe it’s coz I can’t relate to American teenagers lol

Lol i'm a girl and i also thought it was ok at best and boring at worst. I prefer other Greta Gerwig movies.

but Alien is not about motherhood, and played on the fear of sexual assault from a male perspective. I hear Ripley was a man in the screen play for Alien. In contrast, Aliens was written with a female character in mind and this is where motherhood came in.

True, but i also don't think the author of this videos focus on emotions as being a more feminine take on women is accurate either.

@@tadhgmcgrath1409 I don't think he said that

This is incredibly transphobic. Don't you know gender is just a social construct? BIGOT! /s

@@yeahiagree1070 very funny. For me, as a woman, different thinking means: planning beforehand my way home in the night, thinking that i should be liked by everybody (which is, from my experience, more common for women) or problem saying no.

Johanka C. No of those are inherently feminine. I mean there are plenty of women who don’t plan a way back home, there are men who want everyone to like them and women who are perfectly cable of saying no if they want to. Sure their could be a slight bias, but these certainly aren’t universal and they aren’t even significantly different ways of thinking. It’s just being more responsible/sociable.

tang roro every time i need to write a GREAT male character, i think of tang roro. he is so believable and dynamic, he is my only reference for half the population because i see the rest of men as a special interest group. cute!!

James Cameron thought the same thing! He modeled ripley and sarah connor off of his mom, who always supported his dreams. Funny,tho, that he respected women in cinema but not in real life. Being married 5 times, he certainly didn’t treat his wives well

Betty G it’s not like men in block busters are particularly complex characters or ugly either

Ripley was written gender-neutral, as were all the characters. He talks about this in the first seconds of the video. Your comment is confusing.

TheHopperUK No, the video has it wrong. The original script had Ripley written as a man, but Ridley Scott ended up giving the part to Sigourney Weaver. It’s a very well know production note, google it.

I will! Thanks for the correction, friend!

TheHopperUK S’all good! :D

So heres the thing, the script was written for all characters to be gender interchangeable, that script note he showed was real. Where the confusion lies is that everyone assumed it would be played as a male and they did try to cast a male until at the last minute they decided to cast a female instead.

That's kind of oversimpligying it though. Gender and race can matter, depending on the story. A slavery movie that ignores race would be kinda silly. Clarice's character is shaped by her gender a lot, and there's nothing wrong with that.

so, first of all, I think you're right about that and I absolutely love me a genderless approach to writing characters. it's brilliant. but then maybe to represent the whole spectrum of the human experience you should just explore ALL the possible ways of writing women (and other minorities who've been misrepresented) starting with adding those exact groups to writing rooms. because if you tell a group of straight white male writers "write some kind of character but don't specify their gender" they might still default to creating the kind of character they see on screen and identify with the most. even if they're incredibly good and talented it's understandable that that would happen and we'd just get a female character with "traditionally male" traits. not that that's inherently bad (bc it sort of humanises women, which is a sad thought but anyway) just,, it's only one way of living life, there's more to explore yk. when you can make a movie about a universally relatable experience that's wonderful. but not telling stories about all sorts of lives, from all sorts of perspectives, that's kind of missing out. I know you weren't saying that it's just my little addition tldr gr8 idea but we'd probs need diverse writers to make it happen

@@susannam3923 that's a good point, I think I agree for the most part.

Love this comment, i agree

onyourleftbooob 100% was gonna say OP must be a man or at least a bit blind at times lol

...I say ‘how I prefer female characters to be written’, and somehow that implies I like how it’s currently being handled....okay. Yes I am a guy. And no, I don’t like how the female characters are being handled in most modern fantasy...because they are doing it wrong. Stars Wars Episode 7 was aggravating to me because they didn’t go for a more original story and instead went for soft reboot, and most annoyingly they broke certain lore. Plus they didn’t develop Reys character enough and she lacked a motive for me. Nothing to do with her being a woman, but just lazy/safe writing. (People only pointed out that she was female because she seemingly was the most powerful Jedi without an ounce of training or even guidance how to use force, where as every male character did...to some degree, not an issue for me) Episode 8 was kind of the same, only that didn’t ignore gender for me, it specifically wrote most of the Male characters as hot head idiots, and the females as more condescending authoritative, where it doesn’t specifically make gender an issue through dialogue but if you know a thing about writing you can easily see how the writers wanted to portray certain characters. Rey was far more interesting in the film but it ultimately felt like it was playing catch up from what JJ simply avoided doing in episode 7. Again, not a problem with Rey, but more aggravated by lore breaking and bad writing...and directing at times too. Now I’m fine with a female character being in charge/authorative/smarter then a male one, but when you specifically make men hot head and stupid, it’s rather like writing women as weak minded and flimsy damsels, it’s a false perception of the other sex and kind of a stereotype. Rogue one wasn’t exactly a great movie either but on the gender aspect I actually liked that film as It becomes an invisible issue. I just like immersive writing. That’s all I want. I’m bit of a film snob. The captain marvel situation is another recent discussion about this, but I feel my main issue with that is how Brie Larson made the film political in the press. Instead of letting the movie do the talking, they have to put a label on it now and I don’t personally agree with that. People are sick of politics now and that’s why they like gender to be ignored, they want to escape from it. That’s why movies like alien appeal to me more.

onyourleftbooob Could you at least apologise for the mistake you made?

onyourleftbooob-a position of privilege? I assume you aimed that to me, You don’t know anything that me and my family has had to go through. And yes that’s fine for them to make movies like captain marvel, even if they have feminist agendas, but men simply won’t wanna go see it when they are being generalised by the main actress in it. Anyway, I posted a comment, I don’t want a thread of debating. I like gender being invisible in fantasy, that’s it.

@@TheArsenalgunner28 I personally don't think gender should be invisible in fantasy. If the writer wants to say something about gender, they can definitely use it in their fantasy setting, as well as race. Being a fantasy story doesn't exclude a fantasy world from having similar issues that we have in the real world. Even Avatar: The Last Airbender tackled gender a few times. I personally think fantasy that isn't afraid to delve into real problems from time to time are the better ones. ATLA wouldn't be nearly as good if it ignored these things.

What's wrong with super girl ?

SandyTheMaster on god bro ppl these days overreact cause there’s a female character as the mc when most general movies have a male role

I was surprised how poorly this video essay analyzed the film. Maybe he was only focusing on Pt. 1, but it's not an accurate analysis if you ignore Pt. 2. He even chooses the scene where The Bride kills Buck in Pt. 1 and thinks that has nothing to do with gender?
