Men do the vast majority of the speaking in films made in contemporary patriarchal society. In the real world, women speak far more than men do.Why is this very large discrepancy allowed to continue? Shouldn't the number of lines in film be proportional to the actual speaking share in real life? Does Hollywood fear the power of femine speech?

Hollywood is presenting a distorted view of reality to encourage men to speak more.
Name five movies that came out in the last 10 years that have more women talking than men that deserved a best picture award.
>Shouldn't the number of lines in film be proportional to the actual speaking share in real life?
Can you imagine the horror of such a policy?
Men do the vast majority of things people would want to tell in a movie. Simple as. Open any newspaper.
It's as ridiculous as telling women that they need to speak less in real life so that men can be more fairly. The two are different things, and it's not horrible to at least look at the discrepancy and think about it, but to get all hot and bothered over it and make radical changes to art just to please a minority of critics is of no use to anyone, not even women

That's the point. Hollywood refuses to make any.
A golden rule of filmmaking is to only show that which matters.
Men tend to speak mostly when there is something meaningful to say, whereas women chatter nonsense all day.
If you filter out all the nonsense, men realistically say more.
Absolutely Based and logical.
Video games have added women to roles in eras where they were excluded due to oppression. Why can't the movie industry do the same? Showing how things should be is the only way to make things right going forward. If at least half of the soliders in the next war movie aren't female, it's proof of how much further we have to go.
>Return of the King won best picture
literally the Black Panther of its time
>Video games have added women to roles
this at least partially explains my increasing disdain for modern videogames.
also, movies are typically about things that are interesting, which means they're about jobs that men have, or ideals that men embody. there isn't much a woman can add of value, so they don't get as many lines.
I wish filmmakers had the balls to tell real stories about women and show feminine speech in all its glory.
Manlets deserve love too. The Academy is willing to throw a bone to short men but still gives women the finger.
That graph matches the wrong year to films and even skips 2 years.
Women don't do those jobs because they're excluded from them. Why should women suffer for the sins of men throughout history? We need more movies like Hidden Figures that highlight the women who pushed their way into roles that men had denied them. We need to set a good example for little girls by adding women into roles that men historically excluded them from. It's far past time to right thus wrong.
Yes please remake schindlers list with an all women cast.
Are you denying that women died in the Holocaust?
that just means that everything is better when it's more men related and less women related. that women need to stfu and step aside.
No, just make it an all female comedy
>Titanic
Doesn't Titanic have a female narrator and main-character or am I remembering it wrong?
maybe when they try they get shit like new ghostbusters which becomes unsightly
>in the real word women do the majority of the speaking
now remove any sentence involving the words "kardashian, shoes, makeup, and i cant even"
suddenly...
Im sure that a movie about Kim Ks shoes and makeup would be amazing.
Their best chance was The Devil Wears Prada
>Hurt Locker stats
Lawd, and that one has a female director
how the fuck are they this helpless to pull themselves up, that's ridiculous

>In the real world, women speak far more than men do.
Sounds like there's a real life discrepancy, in that case. Rather than letting women talk more in films, we should convince real women to shut their fucking pieholes.
Once again proving the point. Even with a woman in the leading role, men have the vast majority of the speaking time on screen.
Mean Girls
Is there any scenario in which women not speaking or appearing isn't sexist?
The Kardashian mobile app is one of the best selling of all time. The market is there, it's just that the men who control Hollywood are backwards compared to Silicon Valley.
is there somewhere to find this sort of comparison for every movie? I like movies where women don't talk so this would be a good resource
US that a trick question about trannies?

>In the real world, women speak far more than men do
quality not quantity
Exactley. The same reason you don't see the characters using the bathroom all the time, or watch them sleep for hours. Movies cut out all the unimportant stuff.
Yeah the shilling on the female director was off the charts. It was the reason it won best pic. Really awful movie.
Films are meant to entertain, not annoy.
Women aren't entertaining? Are you a homosexual?
It's because movies are a way to escape reality
Feels like women need to do better

women don't do jobs because raising children and taking care of them is an equally important role in life. as a man, the one and only reason i want to do work and get paid is to provide for my family. as for hobbies, women and men can have them regardless of working or not working.
It's the year 2019, not 1959.
Allow me to clarify his post.
Women are only entertaining when they shut their mouth and don’t talk.
okay this epic

What about these years?
Fuck you for reminding me that The Artist exists won Best Picture. That dishonest abomination shouldn't even exist. I want to purge all copies.

No one wants to remember the cast of Chicago existing.
How many women you see actually interested in film, science, art etc?
Fucking none, they only interested on branded bags, shoes and bitching about patriarchy.
