I'm conflicted on this.

On one hand, moviemaking tends to be dominated by men, and so what makes it onto a screen tends to be from their perspective. Tall skinny blondes (who in this case might well be one of the greatest ever in her profession. IMO her performance in Monster was the best acting performance I've ever seen) in tight clothing appeals - and sells.

So we have a movie made primarily by men:

Director: Peter Berg

I'm right there with lamenting the seemingly endless parade of movies written from such a perspective... but what is reasonable when talking on movies in totality? Is it enough to expect half of movies to carry a feminist perspective? 25%? 75%? 100%?
