Ranging from dated to outright iffy, movies like Grease and Kingsman: The Secret Service surprisingly pass the Bechdel Test.
The Bechdel Test is a set of rules concerned with the representation of female characters in film, used as a way to start a conversation about agency or lack thereof among such characters. Film industries have tended to be male-dominated throughout history , with more male directors/writers/actors being contributing factors to the founding of the Bechdel Test.
9 'Blue Is the Warmest Color' Blue Is the Warmest Color is a movie that's difficult to grapple with emotionally and ethically, especially after some of the discourse it inspired. On one hand, it's a brilliantly acted, lengthy, and quite absorbing coming-of-age film about a young woman discovering her sexuality, and both Adèle Exarchopoulos and Léa Seydoux give incredible performances.
When it comes to the controversy, it's notably difficult to watch today for how it handles race . Regarding the Bechdel Test, there are numerous conversations between women, but the film's handling of romance/gender roles, while not as uncomfortable as the racial content, is more than a bit awkward at times.
The third movie out of five, The Twilight Saga: Eclipse, might be the most extreme when it comes to this issue, but still passes the Bechdel Test. Perhaps some consolation is that no one really comes out of this series well-defined or non-problematic, be they male or female; it's just a hilariously strange, sometimes uncanny, and overall backward world they all inhabit.
4 'Kingsman: The Secret Service' With an all-star cast that includes Colin Firth, Taron Egerton, Samuel L. Jackson, and Michael Caine, Kingsman: The Secret Service makes for an enjoyable comedic action/spy movie. It is very much a male-centered movie, but includes enough female character interactions to ultimately pass the Bechdel Test.
2 'Love Actually' So, first things first: Love Actually is a fairly fun movie. It's considered a Christmas classic for good reason, and there are enough charming elements to make it a holiday classic to be watched annually for many. The fact it's made up of so many stories - some that have aged better than others - does also help, because you can always take the good with the bad.
