Fast and Furious
If the screens of cinemas are filled with explosions, shooting, and roars of motors of fast cars, then the premiere of the new movie Fast and Furious is out. Of course, it’s an extremely male-ish film: explosions, action, drama, and an incredible level of effects are made mostly for guys. Accordingly, most of the main characters are men. But, in this series of male films, there are strong female characters, such as Gal Gadot, Michelle Rodriguez, Jordan Brewster, Mirta Michelle, Elsa Pataki, Gina Carano, Clara Padget, and many others. All of them play key roles, creating a contrast to testosterone with their talent, beauty, and uniqueness.
Bonny and Clyde
A Hollywood movie of 1967 Bonnie and Clyde directed by Arthur Penn and starring Warren Beatty and Faye Dunaway in the lead roles collected a large number of awards, including two Oscars. The history of the infamous couple is directly linked to the Great Depression: an economic crisis stretching for almost a decade which has devastated the country and plunged millions of Americans into poverty. During the same period, the gangster era flourished, when bandit groups had significant power in the country; sometimes even more significant than the government.
However, this does not apply to Bonnie and Clyde. They weren’t a part of a powerful mafia structure; they weren’t subordinated to criminals, who sowed chaos and death around them. Their story is the story of love, drama, and survival in the harsh conditions of the great depression. You’re obliged to watch this film not for the sake of a strong female character, which, of course, is there, but for the sake of history and the way it captures the viewer.
