![]() This tribe is one of contemplation, inspiration, wit, and action. We’d like your voices and humor to be heard, your ideas to be shared, and for you to hear ours. How to drink it all in and how to give back. Today, our conversations question which direction we are headed in and how to get there. We believe that now-at midlife-is our shaken-Etch-A-Sketch moment, when the slate is once again blank. Yes, there has been progress (take for example last week’s new film releases: Out of 6, one of which is neutral – a doc on the environment, three were female based) but still much work needs to be done.NextTribe is a travel and events company for women 45+. THIS CHANGES EVERYTHING ends up an insightful look at the injustice done to women in the film industry particularly by the major film studios, with Disney and Paramount Pictures singled out. The case is the perfect example of Hollywood gone wrong now being in correction mode. Understandably, the film’s climax takes in hot issue of the Harvey Weinstein’s sexual harassment case. And in her won words which is 100% true in all case of prejudice, If the bias is unconscious, it is therefore present and the most harmful. An example is Disney’s FINDING NEMO when all the fish voices were done by men. “Females are not properly represented in kids’ films” was one of the findings. Davis used to address the issue on film meetings, when told that the problem is known and something has already been done about it. She founded the Geena Davis Institute and commissioned a two-year study, he first of tis kind on the subject. The ‘This’ in the film title is accomplished by actress Geena Davis (THE ACCIDENTAL TOURIST, THELMA AND LOUISE). The doc must also anger audiences to act towards the change. Firstly, it must convince the audience that the under-representation of women in the film industry exists and is a danger if not corrected. Aside of the fact that the director of this doc is male, THIS CHANGES EVERYTHING would be considered a good film if it does a few things. The under-representation of women in the film industry is already a known fact, but whatever seems to be done appears insufficient. ![]() One wonders what the purpose of the doc is. ![]() BOOKSMART about two female high school girls was funnier, raunchier with superior comedic set-pieces and cinematography than the male teen Seth Rogen collaboration GOOD BOYS. A good example of similar themed female vs. It does mention that Kathryn Bigelow is finally the first female to win the director’s Academy Award for THE HURT LOCKER in over a century but instead of losing at it as progress, bitches about it The doc could do very well to tout the fact that women also excel in certain areas and that theses days the ratio of female themed or made film to their male counterparts has steadily been increasing. The doc also fails to note the advances of the progress that has been made. The doc neglects to consider other fields with women in the employ to get a better perspective of the situation of women in industry. The fact goes against not only what the film stands for but against total logic. The film turns encouraging and crowd pleasing (to both genders).īut what is most strikingly visible is the fact that this doc that complains about the minority of women in the directing field has enlisted a male to direct what basically is a woman’s film. ![]() Fortunately, the film switches in the last 30 minutes to show how changes have been implemented. The same can be said about the film THIS CHANGES EVERYTHING that at first goes on and on at how women are mis-represented and how they have been ignored, less abused, with the film industry targeted. Nobody likes a complainer nag on and on on an issue – the person being a man or a woman.
