discussion Does Your Favorite Movie Pass The Bechdel Test?

[Europe]

The Bechdel Test is a measure of the representation of women in film and other fiction. The test asks whether a work features at least two women who talk to each other about something other than a man. The requirement that the two women be named is sometimes added.

One does (Dancer in the Dark), the other doesn't at all (The Talented Mr Ripley)

[byzantium]

My favorite movie is WALL·E.  I don’t think it passes either the test or the reverse test since I think there are only three named characters.  (Unless you want to start assigning gender to robots) 

[Jotham]

Yes

 

[Lana Banana]

Kill Bill

[Ampersand13]

Scream does  Tatum and Sydney discuss Syd’s mother, they also talk about punching Gale in the face 

[Big Bad Wolf]

Girl, Interrupted, sweetie....

 

But unfortunately, I don't think Party Monster passes this. That's fine tho.

[Cameltoe Chariot]

Ghost World? Yes, it does 

 

 

[Alldeezy]

My favourite movies are American satan & the dirt.  The only females in those movies are either groupies or the bass player in American satan who ****** Andy biersack and ruined his relationship

 

Yeah definitely not
