Fire and Ice: Do Catching Fire and Frozen signify a climate change for female-drive narratives?
Occasioned by the rarity of two films with females at their center — The Hunger Games: Catching Fire and Frozen — leading the box-office, I challenge the conventional wisdom of Hollywood executives that “Women on the screen means no men in the audience.”
With research that shows for every 71 men in movies there are only 29 women, I wonder when the movies became a mirror distorted to reflect men at more than twice their number in the actual population.
Hollywood executives often explain the screen’s gender asymmetry by saying women can identify with males characters but it’s harder for men to identify with female characters. If that’s true, doesn’t that give women a directorial authority men lack?
