| Is there this secret about women that I just haven't learned where they are almost never portrayed as interesting characters in movies?

Ohhh man. There is so much damn misogyny in the movies/video games/television. Often it's when female characters are displayed as tired one-dimensional tropes which usually depict women in some unfavourable light (vain, stupid, etc). Feminist Frequency has some interesting videos explaining this sort of thing.

I enjoyed this review, by the way. I'll be following #shouldiwatchthis :)
