It is about time that cinemas and theatres created something out of the old hat scripts surrounding miserable females. To our utter gladness, some movies have shown us how women are more than crying and cleaning wimps.
We have been watching movies wrapped around the idea of victimised and frail women. They say that what you watch is what you learn. So it is no wonder these movies and their portrayal of how women are ‘helpless’ has irrefutably affected the way we think today — which is certainly not the true story.
Women can be assertive and high headed; Women can achieve. Women can succeed; Women can fight. The mantra of the era that needs to be rote learned. Thankfully, cinema has evolved in taking of women’s strength and presented its evidence by some strong female-oriented movies.
Just jot down the list below and collect the inspiration these long hair stranded heads give:
The Hunger Games
If ever a trilogy has been done right then it is the Hunger Games. This Gary Ross direction portrays the idea of a strong, ambiguous woman played by the talented Jennifer Lawrence. The plot revolves around how Lawrence’s character survives for her life. The movie is all respect and inspiration for females.
Cake
With its lead as strong as the brilliant Aaminah Sheikh and Sanam Saeed, the story revolves around the two sisters and their dysfunctional family,and outlays their lives. The movie portrays how these women ‘shatter’ the glass ceiling and fight patriarchal norms — making it a must-watch!
Queen
The movie that is an absolute trailblazerfor womanhood and individualism stars KanganaRanaut in the lead as Rani. The film is moreover the story of a lively but shy Delhi girl who goes on a solo honeymoon trip post the betrayal of her fiancé — telling women around the world that you don’t need a man to fall in love with Paris or your own self.
Bombshell
As the name suggests the movie is the representation of the idea; girl boss. The Jay Roach film portrays empowering women and their plight to take down their harasser who happens to be a prominent figure. The three-women-led movie is an actual delight to watch for your feminist souls.
