Daily Dialogue theme next week: Bechdel Test

The Daily Dialogue theme next week; Bechdel Test suggested by Will King.

What is the Bechdel Test? Go here for background. But basically for a movie to pass the test:

1. It has to have at least two [named] women in it

2. Who talk to each other

3. About something besides a man

Let’s come up with seven great examples of dialogue from movies which pass the Bechdel Test.

The usual drill:

* Copy/paste dialogue from IMDb Quotes or some other transcript source.

* Copy/paste the URL of an accompanying video from YouTube or some other video source.

I’d also ask you to think about why the dialogue is notable. Is there anything about the dialogue which provides some takeaway related to the craft of writing? If so, feel free to lay that wisdom on us.

Consecutive days of Daily Dialogue posts: 3,103.

Be a part of the proud Daily Dialogue tradition, make a suggestion, and have your name emblazoned on a blog post which will forever hold a hallowed spot in the Go Into The Story archives!
