The director "Angels Charlie" accused the failure of the film sexism and men's stereotypes

The new blockbuster within the framework of the "Angels Charlie" barely managed to go to the rental, but the box office of the paintings already indicate that he did not like to taste. The director of the new Angels Charlie Elizabeth Banks, who also performed in the film by producer, co-author of the scenario and the executor of one of the roles, is convinced that his Fiasco is a picture of not artistic qualities, and male stereotypes that dominate modern society.

Even before the release of the "Angels Charlie", Banks in an interview with the Australian tabloid Herald Sun said:

Listen, people should buy a ticket and go to this film. This film should be profitable. If this film does not earn money, it will only strengthen the stereotype reigning in Hollywood that men do not walk to watch action, at the head of which women are.

It can be objected to this that quite recently there was a minimum of two very successful films with women in the lead roles - "Captain Marvel" with Breek Larson gathered more than $ 1.1 billion in global box office, while the CASSION fees "Women's wizard" with Gadote Gal $ 821 million

But Banks parried:

People go to superhero films with a wonderful woman and captain Marvel for the reason that this is a male genre. So even though these are films about women, they exist in the wider context of the comic world. By the way, I am glad that these female characters collect large sums in the hire. But we need more female voices that will be supported by money, because this is all salt. Power is money.

For the first weekend at the rental "Angels Charlie" collected less than $ 9 million.
