When looking at Feminism many people wonder what the real argument is. With all of the different "theories" or motivations, it is a real wonder that a solid definition can be concluded upon. There are many movies, that fall into many subcategories, which exemplify feminist ideals. When you look at things like reflection theory, it seems that many critics overshadow many of the main issues directors intend others to look at and instead focus on a very narrow minded view. This can be expressed as in ways such as having a female black slave doing demeaning work, but feminist critics who only analyze the face that there is a female doing demeaning work not that she shouldn't be doing. All of these things don't really add up to an effective argument, but it does create a starting point. However, do display positive things about women. These movies greatly bring out many of the strengths of women along with how that they can be strong and independent on an equal playing field with men. Movies such as A league of Their Own and Juno are modern examples of how women can be viewed on equal playing fields as their male counterparts.
