Women in James Bond
A few friends and I decided to watch a James Bond movie the other night and I noticed there were at least 10 women portrayed as objects in the movie. This has been a trend in the entire James Bond series, one manly secret agent goes around killing terrorists, all while sleeping with 6 or 7 different women. These movies have portrayed women as interchangeable objects, most are not even given a name in the movie. I wonder what the advertisement says to Hollywood's young actresses, "new part in James Band: Quantum of Solace. Sex Partners #3-6 still needed." While the movies are entertaining, they have done an injustice to women in making them seem like objects.

Ugh so agreed! It's a shame the way Hollywood portrays women. I can't think of too many movies where women actually have ambitions and dreams, most are just portraying them as you said, like objects, or in some type of love story. Read my blog on "Women in Movies," and watch the short YouTube video I have on the "Bechdel Test." Damn Hollywood!
