When she lands, she realizes that now she is in a different world, Wonderland. However, Alice doesn’t know what to do, when suddenly she sees a rabbit run through, so she decides to follow it, eventually leading up to a hole in which she falls through.
#MAKO MORI MAIN CHARACTER MOVIE#
The movie that I think meets the Bechdel test and the Mako Mori test is the movie, Alice in Wonderland (2010.) In this movie, there’s a girl named Alice, in the beginning, she’s attending an estate party, when suddenly a man she doesn’t like proposes to her. I think that the test exists because someone had realized that women weren’t the main characters often, or that women were just there as the sidekick, without actually getting to know them as well as the man’s story is told. I think that the Mako Mori test is similar to the Bechdel Test because it’s trying to show that women need equality as well as men, they need to be seen just as much as men do. The backstory can’t be about a man’s story The female character needs to get their own narrative arc/backstory There needs to be at least 1 female character The Mako Mori test is a test used to depict when women play the leading role, or at least have a very important role, with their own backstory. What’s so wrong with a woman playing the hero and the man being the one to fall in love with her? As a female, I think it’s unfair to be watching a movie and the only woman is talking about a guy she likes, because this makes me think of the gender-stereotypes that women only gossip, and women are always falling in love. I think that the Bechdel Test is put in place because it’s trying to bring attention to the fact that many women aren’t given the bigger part, and when they are featured, it’s mainly them talking about their feelings towards a man. The topic being talked about can’t be about a man. The women have to be talking to each other The Bechdel Test consists of three important rules: Not for the purpose of becoming a feminist writer, but to have my writing more closely align with the human condition.The Bechdel Test is a test used to indicate the presence of women in films and to point out gender-inequality. If you strive to get an easy-to-calculate, objective metric, then it may only be a rough gauge of the truth you’re after. If you articulate what you truly want to measure, then any metric you come up with will be unwieldy and possibly subjective. I mention this not to denigrate the tests, but to point out the difficulty of accurate metrics in the social sciences. A writer bent on passing the tests could do so without necessarily representing female characters in a good light. A poorly written story could score higher than a well-written one.
There is also some dispute about the tests themselves. As a male writer, it is more difficult for me to craft a believable and relatable female character.Very little of the fiction I grew up and loved reading would pass these tests, and.I write a lot of alternate history fiction involving technology, and historically women have not figured as prominently as men in dealing with technology,.In partial defense of my low scores on these tests: For the record, I have nothing against women.
Not great scores, I’ll grant you, given that women are 50% of the population. I’m counting “Vessel” and “Last Vessel of Atlantis” as a single story because I did not revise it much for its second publication. Note: I’m counting the two versions of “Alexander’s Odyssey” as different stories, because I substantially revised it for its second publication. With some trepidation, I’ll show you how my published stories faired in these tests. And we shouldn’t forget the Mako Mori Test-whether a female character has a narrative arc that is not about supporting a man’s story. Then there’s the Smurfette Principle Test-whether there is only one female in an otherwise all-male group or ensemble of characters. Other, related measures include the percentage of female speaking roles, the percentage of named characters who are women, the percentage of female characters overall, whether the protagonist is a woman, whether 2 out of the top 3 speaking roles are for women, and whether the character with the most dialogue is a woman.
Bechdel credits her friend Liz Wallace for the idea, too. The test got its name from Alison Bechdel, who writes the comic strip Dykes to Watch Out For. A story passes the Bechdel-Wallace Test if (1) there are at least two women in it, (2) who talk to each other, (3) about something besides a man. What is the Bechdel-Wallace Test? It purports to measure the degree to which a work of fiction features female characters in their own right, and not just as characters who are there to react to males. Do my stories past the Bechdel-Wallace Test? How about other similar tests? How important are these tests?
