RE: Random Film Thoughts: You've Been Blackballed
The article has been removed now but a couple of feminist critics for New York Mag website blasted Lawrence of Arabia because it didn't pass the Bechdel test. They believe it is sexist because it didn't feature any women in speaking roles.
I don't know about you but saying a film about a British intel officer, who was probably gay, living in the Arab desert during World War I is sexist because there were no women in speaking roles is like saying Seven Samurai is racist because there were no black people. |
