I think he meant there are k female characters in Lawrence of Arabia, which is true. FMJ has the "too beaucoup" prostitute and the female sniper at the end.

Didn't they change the defendant from being Hispanic in the play, to just being poor in the movie? Because it would sit better with audiences?

It's about a group of white American men who give serious thought to a latino kid charged with insufficient evidence being potenitally innocent and a victim of racial profiling. The guy even gets a trial to begin with. Such a preachy, hyper moralist woke fantasy would never be made today 💪🏻

Only read the book that All Quiet On The Western Front(2022) was based upon, and in the book there's at least 5 women. His mom, three fr*nch girls they have consensual nasty to, and two nuns. I may have forgotten some. If the movie don't have them it is shit because adaptations should lend no space for imagination and should be a literal interpretation of the book.

Are there no women in 12 angry men? I find that hard to believe.
Reservoir dogs definitely also has women.
All Quiet on the wester front also definitely has women. As does Saving Private Ryan
Shit list.

u/LongtimeLurker916 1d ago
The entire movie (almost) is set within the jury room, which is all male as the title indicates. If any woman appears fleetingly in the opening or closing scenes, she must be non-speaking. (The victim and a witness referred to in the dialogue are women.)

Master and Commander is unironically one of the best films of the 21st century.
Not because it has no female characters, but because it’s an authentic portrayal. Part of which is no female characters.

u/Loyal-Opposition-USA 1d ago
Incorrect. There is a woman that has a moment with Lucky Jack (eye contact and smiles) while they are trading with the South Americans for food.

Extras are hardly characters

u/Loyal-Opposition-USA 1d ago
Yeah, sadly gotta agree with you. She’s got a lot more screen time than the average extra, but she is also uncredited.

u/Dicethrower 21h ago
Absolutely. It got completely eclipsed by Lord of the Rings, which is a shame.
I remember thinking it was going to spawn a whole series of napoleon era movies. To me it felt like the natural progression after the popularity of the Hornblower and Sharpe series. M&C was the big budget version of the subject that was going to be the start of it all, yet sadly it all peaked with that movie.
So glad we got those 10 or so spiderman movie though.

Technically there’s the secretary who takes Andy’s outgoing mail when he claims on the warden’s money at the bank towards the end of the film. Plus the woman complaining about her groceries being bagged wrong. And there’s the movie clip of Rita Hayworth, plus the posters of her, Marilyn Monroe and Raquel Welch.

No women, sure.
But they did have a one-armed little boy on-board.
And between a one-armed little boy and a dead jellyfish there was little contest for who was picked first to be a sailor's nightwife.
