Sweden is making the effort to highlight the gender inequality in films using a simple test: 1. are there more than two named female characters? 2. do they talk to each other? 3. and do they talk about something other than a man? A few films that fail this simple test are Shrek, Toy Story, all Star Wars movies, the Lord of the Rings trilogy and all but one of the Harry Potter movies. There are plenty more. Having female characters with actual substance is important to enable viewers to realise women are capable of leading lives that do not have to solely revolve around men. It is good to see Sweden taking an interest, but do you think the film industry will change as a result?
