What movies did you think were empowering to women?
For me...
[b]Brave[/b]
This terrific Pixar film initially seems as if it might replicate the evil mother trope present in so many animated classics, but instead it gives us a rich and complex relationship that humanizes both the mother and daughter, not to mention that it’s wonderfully refreshing just to see an animated film more focused on mothers and daughters than fathers and sons for a change. To top it all off, the film’s core conflict is resolved through diplomacy rather than violence.
[b]Gravity[/b]
This thrilling sci-fi film features Sandra Bullock as Dr. Ryan Stone, a great character whose strength and capability is communicated more through intelligence, determination and resolve than displays of physical prowess. She’s also a rare example of a female character who is sometimes depicted wearing little, form-fitting clothing without being sexualized.
[b]Edge of Tomorrow[/b]
Sure, Edge of Tomorrow stars Tom Cruise, but Emily Blunt steals the movie in a supporting role as Sergeant Rita Vrataski. Blunt takes what could have easily been a typical action hero and lends Vrataski a level of depth and emotional resonance that is often lacking in such characters.

The Witcher Netflix series actually does a great job of portraying Yennefers character development. She starts off weak, inexperienced and severely crippled and eventually rises to be one of the best mages through years of practice and training which allows her to achieve the dreams she had since being younger and actually fix her deformed appearance.

Lord of the Rings. It shows females being strong, but not arrogant or perfect. It shows that even in failure and with flaws you can overcome. That’s the problem some movies *cough* Rey *cough* get totally wrong. It’s not empowering to women or anyone for that matter when you show a perfect character overcome difficulties. It’s just a power fantasy. (Which is fine, but it doesn’t teach anyone anything.)

3 RepliesMovie? All three original Star Wars movies. Princess Leia was THE Og strong female character. As for other strong female characters, Ashoka -blam!- from The Clone Wars has always been my favorite. The best female characters are those that are strong but don’t show their strength by putting down men.

There has been many women empowering films and even anime. Unfortunately these days a portion of films have gone from "I'm just a badass woman" to "i'm badass because I hate white men" or they look like femboys. It's like Doctor Who's Captain Jack. He made gay look normal never needing to push that fact in our faces. These days it's all about "hay look at me I'm a gay person, oh hay I'm gay, did I mention I'm gay because I'm gay. Or they just include us to tick a box.
