Are women behind the scenes in Hollywood getting the same treatment as men? The signs look good. Women run three of the seven major Hollywood studios. A recent Sundance Film Festival was called "the Year of the Woman," with more than two dozen films submitted(提交) by female directors. We’re treated annually to media celebrations of "women in Hollywood," which would have been unthinkable 15 years ago. But how good is it for Women, really?
Though some women at the very top tend to think the battles as good as won, many women beneath them are still pretty angry. Female film directors work roughly 5 percent of the days that all directors work. Roughly 13 percent of screenwriters are women. "Change is moving at glacial(冰川的)speed," says writer Robin Swicord.
For female screenwriters, the big fight is to prove that they can write more than just "chick flicks." They say studio(电影厂) executives think women can write only about women—and films with female leads are still the exception rather than the rule. "My husband, Nicholas Kazan—a screenwriter, is never offered the dog movies and the sister movies that I am," says Swicord. "He gets some news stories and legal stories. He gets offered expensive books. I get books with girls in them."
Female directors say they’re still laboring, under the myth that women simply aren’t tough enough to handle the pressure that comes with a big-member crew and a $50 million budget. Despite the success of Kimberty Peirce with her movie Boys Don’t Cry, the directors’ ranks are still very much a male stronghold(堡垒).
Women who have succeeded in Hollywood tend to do it in production offices and executive suites(随从). And to women on the creative side, it seems that women on the money side have no desire to help them. In fact, some female executives insist that they won’t give a woman special treatment; they hire, of course, on the basis of who’s right for the job.
Female executives might try to pretend they’re genderless(没有性别意识的) purely as a matter of survival. To them, saying Hollywood is sexist is like saying the ocean is blue. Let’s just get on with life. But for a writer or director struggling to get her next job, that’s exactly the problem.
