In Reply to: Too complicated, too silly. And, I'm not so sure you'd really want to know... posted by vocalion on December 8, 2003 at 10:14:29:
vocalion,My question concerns those character attributes that the movies present as "male"- and whether you see these as positive influences- or contrived, stereotypes, etc. Complicated as hell, but I think not silly in light of modern movies.
The lines get blurred as we're seeing a lot more women action heroes- "Lara Croft", "Crouching Tiger/Hidden Dragon", Linda Hamilton in the "Terminator" franchise, as these characters are not possessors of the "natural gonads" but are co-opting traditionally male roles and could all be interchanged with men in those roles.
Popeye: "I yam what I yam" is as good a criterium as any I can think of! The idea of being true to one's nature through self knowledge- seems to me the first principle of success as a human.
Cartoon or no, Popeye was shown as honourable, truthful, and a protector of the weak and these stand high on my list of positive attributes for anyone.
Cheers,
