Have you heard of the Bechdel test?

I came across it in an article I was reading and found it fascinating. The test is to watch a film and see if it passes three rules:
1. There are more than 2 women in it
2. the women talk to each other
3. they talk about something other than a man
There are a couple of add ons which can be included:
– Are the women named?
– do they speak for more than one minute?
– are they alive at the end

I can’t find the article again but the wiki page is quite interesting.
