To Cal:
I have heard of an off-switch on television sets. But televisions is not
the discussion it is rather the Ac ademy
awards as representative of a industry. And furthermore what it means when
the award ceremony is presented in such a way as to exemplify the dominant
patriarchal paradigm that defines Hollywood. The best way to address problems i
s not to shut them off or turn to re-runs but rather to examine what is worng
and try to change it.
In regards to Unforgiven-the film centers arounda gunman hired to kill a man who
cut up a prostitutes face. All the women in the film are prostitutes--so mu
ch
for positive roles for women in Hollywood.
