hi I'm studying about "women and film" for A- Levels too!

I've recently seen a trailer at the cinemas, a film called "Domino", based on the true life story about Lawrence Harvey's daughter, with other appearances from Lucy Liu to Christopher Walken.

Keira Knightly is the female lead, playing a girl called 'Domino Harvey',turned away from her career as a Ford model to become a bounty hunter. It's funny how she is given name which is similar to a man's, such as 'Ripley' from Aliens, 'Sidney' from Scream etc..

Knightley has trimmed her hair short, holds a real big gun and she looks like a real action hero. all set for a dangerous adventure. She's turned to the grits and guns, but she still manages to look good!

I think films involving action heroines are great, it's a different view on women,not just the fragile, weak, emotional women. It shows us women have power too.
