Dialogue: 0,0:00:00.42,0:00:02.95,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,You know, my favorite part of being a dad
Dialogue: 0,0:00:02.95,0:00:06.21,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,is the movies I get to watch.
Dialogue: 0,0:00:06.21,0:00:08.09,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,I love sharing my favorite movies with my kids,
Dialogue: 0,0:00:08.09,0:00:10.69,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and when my daughter was four,
Dialogue: 0,0:00:10.69,0:00:13.58,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,we got to watch "The Wizard of Oz" together.
Dialogue: 0,0:00:13.58,0:00:16.98,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,It totally dominated her imagination for months.
Dialogue: 0,0:00:16.98,0:00:20.20,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Her favorite character was Glinda, of course.
Dialogue: 0,0:00:20.20,0:00:22.26,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,It gave her a great excuse to wear a sparkly dress
Dialogue: 0,0:00:22.26,0:00:23.91,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and carry a wand.
Dialogue: 0,0:00:23.91,0:00:26.32,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,But you watch that movie enough times,
Dialogue: 0,0:00:26.32,0:00:27.75,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and you start to realize how unusual it is.
Dialogue: 0,0:00:27.75,0:00:30.60,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Now we live today, and are raising our children,
Dialogue: 0,0:00:30.60,0:00:36.95,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,in a kind of children's-fantasy-spectacular-industrial complex.
Dialogue: 0,0:00:36.95,0:00:38.70,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,But "The Wizard of Oz" stood alone.
Dialogue: 0,0:00:38.70,0:00:40.88,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,It did not start that trend.
Dialogue: 0,0:00:40.88,0:00:44.31,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Forty years later was when the trend really caught on,
Dialogue: 0,0:00:44.31,0:00:46.66,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,with, interestingly, another movie
Dialogue: 0,0:00:46.66,0:00:48.79,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,that featured a metal guy
Dialogue: 0,0:00:48.79,0:00:50.18,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and a furry guy
Dialogue: 0,0:00:50.18,0:00:55.39,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,rescuing a girl by dressing up as the enemy's guards.
Dialogue: 0,0:00:55.39,0:00:57.83,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Do you know what I'm talking about? (Laughter)
Dialogue: 0,0:00:57.83,0:00:59.30,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Yeah.
Dialogue: 0,0:00:59.30,0:01:03.02,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Now, there's a big difference between these two movies,
Dialogue: 0,0:01:03.02,0:01:05.06,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,a couple of really big differences between "The Wizard of Oz"
Dialogue: 0,0:01:05.06,0:01:05.100,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and all the movies we watch today.
Dialogue: 0,0:01:05.100,0:01:09.30,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,One is there's very little violence in "The Wizard of Oz."
Dialogue: 0,0:01:09.30,0:01:14.54,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,The monkeys are rather aggressive, as are the apple trees.
Dialogue: 0,0:01:14.54,0:01:18.15,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,But I think if "The Wizard of Oz" were made today,
Dialogue: 0,0:01:18.15,0:01:22.58,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,the wizard would say, "Dorothy, you are the savior of Oz
Dialogue: 0,0:01:22.58,0:01:24.34,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,that the prophecy foretold.
Dialogue: 0,0:01:24.34,0:01:26.41,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Use your magic slippers to defeat
Dialogue: 0,0:01:26.41,0:01:30.03,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,the computer-generated armies of the Wicked Witch."
Dialogue: 0,0:01:30.03,0:01:31.68,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,But that's not how it happens.
Dialogue: 0,0:01:31.68,0:01:34.08,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Another thing that's really unique about "The Wizard of Oz"
Dialogue: 0,0:01:34.08,0:01:37.38,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,to me is that all of the most heroic
Dialogue: 0,0:01:37.38,0:01:40.71,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and wise and even villainous characters
Dialogue: 0,0:01:40.71,0:01:44.23,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,are female.
Dialogue: 0,0:01:44.23,0:01:46.34,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Now I started to notice this
Dialogue: 0,0:01:46.34,0:01:49.48,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,when I actually showed "Star Wars" to my daughter,
Dialogue: 0,0:01:49.48,0:01:52.02,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,which was years later, and the situation was different.
Dialogue: 0,0:01:52.02,0:01:55.16,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,At that point I also had a son.
Dialogue: 0,0:01:55.16,0:01:56.89,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,He was only three at the time.
Dialogue: 0,0:01:56.89,0:02:01.03,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,He was not invited to the screening. He was too young for that.
Dialogue: 0,0:02:01.03,0:02:02.35,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,But he was the second child,
Dialogue: 0,0:02:02.35,0:02:06.13,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and the level of supervision had plummeted. (Laughter)
Dialogue: 0,0:02:06.13,0:02:09.74,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,So he wandered in,
Dialogue: 0,0:02:09.74,0:02:13.77,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and it imprinted on him
Dialogue: 0,0:02:13.77,0:02:19.41,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,like a mommy duck does to its duckling,
Dialogue: 0,0:02:19.41,0:02:23.19,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and I don't think he understands what's going on,
Dialogue: 0,0:02:23.19,0:02:26.72,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,but he is sure soaking in it.
Dialogue: 0,0:02:26.72,0:02:28.09,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,And I wonder what he's soaking in.
Dialogue: 0,0:02:28.09,0:02:30.56,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Is he picking up on the themes of courage
Dialogue: 0,0:02:30.56,0:02:32.68,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and perseverance and loyalty?
Dialogue: 0,0:02:32.68,0:02:35.66,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Is he picking up on the fact that Luke
Dialogue: 0,0:02:35.66,0:02:40.56,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,joins an army to overthrow the government?
Dialogue: 0,0:02:40.56,0:02:42.21,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Is he picking up on the fact that
Dialogue: 0,0:02:42.21,0:02:45.32,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,there are only boys in the universe
Dialogue: 0,0:02:45.32,0:02:48.50,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,except for Aunt Beru, and of course this princess,
Dialogue: 0,0:02:48.50,0:02:52.95,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,who's really cool, but who kind of waits around through most of the movie
Dialogue: 0,0:02:52.95,0:02:56.18,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,so that she can award the hero with a medal and a wink
Dialogue: 0,0:02:56.18,0:02:58.74,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,to thank him for saving the universe, which he does
Dialogue: 0,0:02:58.74,0:03:01.96,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,by the magic that he was born with?
Dialogue: 0,0:03:01.96,0:03:04.93,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Compare this to 1939 with "The Wizard of Oz."
Dialogue: 0,0:03:04.93,0:03:07.56,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,How does Dorothy win her movie?
Dialogue: 0,0:03:07.56,0:03:10.51,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,By making friends with everybody
Dialogue: 0,0:03:10.51,0:03:12.28,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and being a leader.
Dialogue: 0,0:03:12.28,0:03:15.59,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,That's kind of the world I'd rather raise my kids in --
Dialogue: 0,0:03:15.59,0:03:19.48,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Oz, right? -- and not the world of dudes fighting,
Dialogue: 0,0:03:19.48,0:03:21.38,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,which is where we kind of have to be.
Dialogue: 0,0:03:21.38,0:03:25.16,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Why is there so much Force -- capital F, Force --
Dialogue: 0,0:03:25.16,0:03:26.85,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,in the movies we have for our kids,
Dialogue: 0,0:03:26.85,0:03:29.30,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and so little yellow brick road?
Dialogue: 0,0:03:29.30,0:03:32.71,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,There is a lot of great writing about the impact
Dialogue: 0,0:03:32.71,0:03:36.96,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,that the boy-violent movie has on girls,
Dialogue: 0,0:03:36.96,0:03:39.58,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and you should do that reading. It's very good.
Dialogue: 0,0:03:39.58,0:03:44.45,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,I haven't read as much on how boys are picking up on this vibe.
Dialogue: 0,0:03:44.45,0:03:47.00,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,I know from my own experience that
Dialogue: 0,0:03:47.00,0:03:52.63,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Princess Leia did not provide the adequate context
Dialogue: 0,0:03:52.63,0:03:56.76,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,that I could have used in navigating the adult world
Dialogue: 0,0:03:56.76,0:04:01.36,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,that is co-ed. (Laughter)
Dialogue: 0,0:04:01.36,0:04:04.55,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,I think there was a first-kiss moment
Dialogue: 0,0:04:04.55,0:04:07.88,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,when I really expected the credits to start rolling
Dialogue: 0,0:04:07.88,0:04:10.68,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,because that's the end of the movie, right?
Dialogue: 0,0:04:10.68,0:04:12.98,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,I finished my quest, I got the girl.
Dialogue: 0,0:04:12.98,0:04:16.11,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Why are you still standing there?
Dialogue: 0,0:04:16.11,0:04:17.55,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,I don't know what I'm supposed to do.
Dialogue: 0,0:04:17.55,0:04:20.74,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,The movies are very, very focused on defeating the villain
Dialogue: 0,0:04:20.74,0:04:23.33,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and getting your reward, and there's not a lot of room
Dialogue: 0,0:04:23.33,0:04:26.22,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,for other relationships and other journeys.
Dialogue: 0,0:04:26.22,0:04:28.46,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,It's almost as though if you're a boy,
Dialogue: 0,0:04:28.46,0:04:30.54,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,you are a dopey animal,
Dialogue: 0,0:04:30.54,0:04:35.01,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and if you are a girl, you should bring your warrior costume.
Dialogue: 0,0:04:35.01,0:04:37.20,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,There are plenty of exceptions,
Dialogue: 0,0:04:37.20,0:04:42.50,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and I will defend the Disney princesses in front of any you.
Dialogue: 0,0:04:42.50,0:04:45.55,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,But they do send a message to boys,
Dialogue: 0,0:04:45.55,0:04:48.06,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,that they are not, the boys are not really the target audience.
Dialogue: 0,0:04:48.06,0:04:50.50,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,They are doing a phenomenal job of teaching girls
Dialogue: 0,0:04:50.50,0:04:53.87,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,how to defend against the patriarchy,
Dialogue: 0,0:04:53.87,0:04:55.84,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,but they are not necessarily showing boys
Dialogue: 0,0:04:55.84,0:04:58.67,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,how they're supposed to defend against the patriarchy.
Dialogue: 0,0:04:58.67,0:05:00.81,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,There's no models for them.
Dialogue: 0,0:05:00.81,0:05:04.08,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,And we also have some terrific women
Dialogue: 0,0:05:04.08,0:05:06.22,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,who are writing new stories for our kids,
Dialogue: 0,0:05:06.22,0:05:10.96,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and as three-dimensional and delightful as Hermione and Katniss are,
Dialogue: 0,0:05:10.96,0:05:13.09,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,these are still war movies.
Dialogue: 0,0:05:13.09,0:05:17.20,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,And, of course, the most successful studio of all time
Dialogue: 0,0:05:17.20,0:05:21.33,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,continues to crank out classic after classic,
Dialogue: 0,0:05:21.33,0:05:24.07,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,every single one of them about
Dialogue: 0,0:05:24.07,0:05:27.84,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,the journey of a boy, or a man,
Dialogue: 0,0:05:27.84,0:05:31.48,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,or two men who are friends, or a man and his son,
Dialogue: 0,0:05:31.48,0:05:35.08,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,or two men who are raising a little girl.
Dialogue: 0,0:05:35.08,0:05:38.82,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Until, as many of you are thinking, this year,
Dialogue: 0,0:05:38.82,0:05:40.54,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,when they finally came out with "Brave."
Dialogue: 0,0:05:40.54,0:05:44.55,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,I recommend it to all of you. It's on demand now.
Dialogue: 0,0:05:44.55,0:05:48.45,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Do you remember what the critics said when "Brave" came out?
Dialogue: 0,0:05:48.45,0:05:52.85,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,"Aw, I can't believe Pixar made a princess movie."
Dialogue: 0,0:05:52.85,0:05:54.98,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,It's very good. Don't let that stop you.
Dialogue: 0,0:05:54.98,0:05:58.87,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Now, almost none of these movies pass the Bechdel Test.
Dialogue: 0,0:05:58.87,0:06:00.05,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,I don't know if you've heard of this.
Dialogue: 0,0:06:00.05,0:06:02.88,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,It has not yet caught on and caught fire,
Dialogue: 0,0:06:02.88,0:06:04.96,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,but maybe today we will start a movement.
Dialogue: 0,0:06:04.96,0:06:07.74,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Alison Bechdel is a comic book artist,
Dialogue: 0,0:06:07.74,0:06:12.84,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and back in the mid-'80s, she recorded this conversation
Dialogue: 0,0:06:12.84,0:06:16.42,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,she'd had with a friend about assessing the movies that they saw.
Dialogue: 0,0:06:16.42,0:06:19.40,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,And it's very simple. There's just three questions you should ask:
Dialogue: 0,0:06:19.40,0:06:21.91,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Is there more than one character in the movie
Dialogue: 0,0:06:21.91,0:06:25.52,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,that is female who has lines?
Dialogue: 0,0:06:25.52,0:06:28.10,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,So try to meet that bar.
Dialogue: 0,0:06:28.10,0:06:33.76,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,And do these women talk to each other at any point in the movie?
Dialogue: 0,0:06:33.76,0:06:37.21,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,And is their conversation about something other than
Dialogue: 0,0:06:37.21,0:06:40.52,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,the guy that they both like? (Laughter)
Dialogue: 0,0:06:40.52,0:06:44.86,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Right? Thank you. (Applause)
Dialogue: 0,0:06:44.86,0:06:46.68,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Thank you very much.
Dialogue: 0,0:06:46.68,0:06:54.28,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Two women who exist and talk to each other about stuff.
Dialogue: 0,0:06:54.28,0:06:59.41,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,It does happen. I've seen it,
Dialogue: 0,0:06:59.41,0:07:02.36,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and yet I very rarely see it in the movies
Dialogue: 0,0:07:02.36,0:07:03.53,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,that we know and love.
Dialogue: 0,0:07:03.53,0:07:05.69,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,In fact, this week I went to see
Dialogue: 0,0:07:05.69,0:07:09.30,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,a very high-quality movie, "Argo."
Dialogue: 0,0:07:09.30,0:07:12.96,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Right? Oscar buzz, doing great at the box office,
Dialogue: 0,0:07:12.96,0:07:17.25,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,a consensus idea of what a quality Hollywood film is.
Dialogue: 0,0:07:17.25,0:07:19.93,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,It pretty much flunks the Bechdel test.
Dialogue: 0,0:07:19.93,0:07:23.74,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,And I don't think it should, because a lot of the movie,
