These are my thoughts...
I believe that anything can make media feminist. It can change from how a character is displayed, the clothes that they wear, the way they talk, the way they stand, the way you are suppose to view them.
I don’t think I have a straight answer for what makes a film feminist but for certain what makes a film feminist is going against how the majority of media display women or even having a feminist director.
The feminist films that I have encountered are mostly from the class, even the directors I have learned from this class.
I have learned that it doesn’t matter if the filmmaker is a feminist, but if depends greatly on the story they are trying to display and for what audience.
One movie that I think is feminist is “Freedom Writers”. This movie is about a female teacher that has the power to make a difference.
This class has taught me about feminist, and has talk me a lot about myself. I always stood up for many things that I thought was wrong, mostly surrounding race, class, and gender. All my life, I knew I was different. I’m hmong, I’m a woman, and I don’t have a lot of money and my family doesn’t have a lot of money. There are so many strikes against me. There are many things that I notice now, how I am treated because I am female. It seems like no matter what there will be obstacles to fight through or you will never survive in this cruel world.
