Of Movies And Manhood

An inter­est­ing but deeply flawed presentation.He does raise some key points relat­ing to The Wiz­ard of Oz com­pared with most mod­ern kids movies, the Bechdel test etc. Though he doesn’t address either the eco­nom­ics behind this or really any other fac­tors that might be in play.

How­ever his big fail­ing is in think­ing that kids movies should be teach­ing chil­dren how to behave.

I strongly believe we need to move away from the whole con­cept of either celebrity, sports or fic­tional role mod­els. The par­ents are the role mod­els. Their behav­ior is what should mat­ter. Not fiction.
