chanced upon this TEDx sharing by Colin Stokes on his views, observations and experience in bringing up children. while the title of the talk highlighted boys, the influence of movies are apparent on both boys and girls. therefore this provides food for thought for parents regardless if you have boys or girls in the family (:
one new thing i learnt from Stoke’s sharing is the Bechdel Test, which examines movie to see if it meets the following criteria:
- It has to have at least two [named] women in it
- Who talk to each other
- About something besides a man
how many movies can you name that pass the test? off-hand i can’t think of any :O
but if you are curious to find out, you can visit here (:
