there continues to appear this sassy girl, especially in asian (bollywood and korean) movies. and so we begin to wonder if she is indeed the ideal girl. for doesn't art reflect life? or at least heroins reflect our aspirations in life.she is often pitted against the conservative girl and the hero usually struggles with choosing whomever is the better option.
who is the better option? amber from 'house' says she had to choose between love and respect. is this 'love' that we seek something at the cost of our better well-being? is it so rare for the two to co-exist?
i think on this because it is again a narrow description of women. we are either 'sassy' or 'conservative'. even cartoonists have a smaller remit of female characters and the obvious ones are the femme fatale, old lady and girl.
so if we were to be drawn differently, how would we draw ourselves? and what would that cost us?
