Choose a movie or TV show that would be interesting to analyze using at least two of the following "tests": Bechdel Test, Deggan's Rule, the Vito Russo Test, the Mako Mori Test. Discuss how the text does or does not involve the Smurfette Principle or Never a Self-Made Woman. Also, identify 3 tropes operating in the text; these can be from any category described on the TV Tropes site.
The movie that I have to choose is Fast and the Furious which definitely fails in the "Bechdel Test" by not giving Dom, who is the main love interest of his, a conversation or a limelight that they give Dom. As well as Dom's sister who ends up playing the love interest of Paul Walkers character. The text does include the "Never a Self-Made Woman". The 3 tropes operating in the text for Michelle Rodriguez is characterized in The Asexual, "Masculinized" Career Woman, and being the Tom Boy.
The love interstate's of Paul Walker definitely plays the role of Housewife as she bares his child in the franchise of the movies.
"Michelle Rodriguez threatened to leave the The Fast and the Furious movie franchise after the eighth movie unless the writers "decide to show some love to the women of the franchise on the next one. Or I just might have to say goodbye to a loved franchise"
