How do you feel Angelina Jolie is portrayed as a female role model?


How do you feel about how Angelina Jolie's character is shown in this film as a female role model for people? and do you feel that she is a strong character that goes against stereotypes of female characters from films that are like from 10 years ago.

To the person above: I think it really depends on WHO is your role model. If it´s Paris Hilton I agree with you that it´s quite pathetic. But if you see someone who´s a great person and try to be like him/her, why not?

I don´t think Angelina is supposed to be a role model in this movie. Although I like watching stuff like that a lot better than women being portrayed as hysteric, helpless little brats.

I think Angelina is a good role model for women in real life. She lives her life to the fullest and is outspoken, not caring what others think about her. She's a mother, a pilot, a UNHCR Ambassador, a member of the Council of Foreign Relations, and an actress.

About Jane Smith, I don't think she's supposed to be a role model. She's just a character in the film. Not once have I heard her character being called a role model until now. But in a way she is a role model for women because her character is a strong female lead in an action film.
