Women In Film: They Are Becoming Competitive And Breaking The Traditional Roles In Movie Industry

Tags

Films are often the reflection of a certain individual and even a particular society. These may have sense since most of the films tackle love, relationships, frienships, and even serious problems such as poverty, government problems and even the relationship between countries. It also means that some of the films featured women reflects their current situation in the society. But as the time change, and another era comes, the role of the women in the cinema may change, as the new breed of filmmakers create a new impression towards the role of women not just in film but also in the society.

Mostly, in some previous films in western countries and even in the orients, the roles of women could be a typical mother, an old maid, a battered wife or a sex symbol, while men usually get the pleasant roles like good father, an emperor, and a hero or warrior saving his countrymen and hi country, though also some of the films in cinema depict weak male characters. The reason is that, in nature, women are weak. That is the perception of some of us regarding the characteristics and capabilities of women. That is why before, this perception was also applied in the cinema especially in films. The roles of the women became limited compared to men. This is the reason why feminists groups disagreeing in this kind of treatment to the women especially in the film industry.

These things are good signs for the women in the film industry where the roles of the female were not typical anymore. It is truly amazing that the roles of women in cinema are evolving. It is an indication that women, especially are becoming competitive and breaking the traditional roles of women in cinema industry. It also means that aside from the role of the women in the cinemas, their roles in the society also evolved into a greater height and ready for more challenging roles they will encounter in the near future.
