In Reply to: Have real men disappeared from the film industry? What's happened posted by tinear on November 15, 2008 at 07:45:42:
or "real women" for that matter. You use the world "real" in this discussion but you're really talking about fantasy characters.
I prefer three dimensional characters both in my friendships and on-screen. Neither my wife or daughter are the least bit "girly" and that's the way I like it. My wife is incredibly good at everything she does and doesn't need to be coquettish to prove her worth. My daughter is a beautiful 17-year old who has never worn makeup. She's also preternaturally smart and intensely musical. As I write this she's attending a jazz piano workshop. They're nothing like the "real" people you allude to.
I would much rather watch female characters like them on screen than fantasy dolls.
