Here's something to geek out on. Hannah Anderson and Matt Daniels counted the number of lines in about 2000 movie screenplays by gender and age. You can check it out here. Even if you're not a data geek, I think you'll enjoy this one.
Happy Monday!
It's interesting how having a female lead doesn't necessarily correlate with female characters having the most lines in a film.
ReplyDeleteIs it just me, or is it surprising how many films there are where 100% of the dialogue is male?
ReplyDeleteI saw that too but thought it might all be older films.
DeleteI can't find any mention of how they chose the films they used
ReplyDeleteIt's in the FAQ
