In a World Where Movies Are About Men, ‘One Woman’ Sounds Weird

As UpWorthy‘s Joseph Lamour says, “This montage of movie trailers may seem like just another funny supercut, but to me it plays like a highlight reel for what’s wrong with American cinema.”

And while a trailer isn’t a looking glass into the heart and soul of a movie, it might be the only thing that most people ever see, and the fact that it’s one man, one man, one man is disheartening. Oh wait! There goes a woman. In a rom com, but still — yay! One woman! Let’s all drink cosmos and talk about men to celebrate.

And here’s some fun facts to keep in mind:

• Only two percent of 2012’s top films were shot by women cinematographers. (In fact, the top 250 grossing films in the U.S. in 2012, women comprise 18% of all directors, executive producers, producers, writers, cinematographers, and editors.)
• Girls missing from children’s media.
• There’s Only 1 Female Film Director For Every 15.24 Male Ones
• And here’s some more background on the dominance of Hollywood peen.

It goes on and on and on and on…
