How women are portrayed in films

In films woman are portrayed as the useless female who do nothing in films and are often the people who die first in films. They are shown as the weaker gender and are seen as unintelligent an example would be in a scary film when the female is left on her own a dark spooky forest or woods with someone chasing after them trying to kill them, they usually trip and then end up getting killed as they don’t bother to get back up. This frustrates me as girls aren’t like that and that is how they have been portrayed in most films. It makes us look ridiculous and then everyone assumes that’s what we’re like in real life.

Women are also made to look a certain way making normal real life women think they need to look that way as well. They are normally made to look incredibly thin with blonde hair and with designer labels etc. It is unlikely that any average woman would look like that. By making women look this way it makes real people body conscious on the way they look. They feel as though they need to look the same as the women in films.
