Are lesbians more disadvantaged than "boylove" films?
Over the past few years, studios have made more and more movies featuring the appearance of gay characters . The LGBT- themed films are even seriously invested, not just superficial characters surfing the screen. However, on the positive side, LGBT on the screen still contains a lot of interesting issues. One of them is the frequency and quality difference between gay and lesbian characters.

However, looking at the LGBT movie lists every year we recognize a situation that does not know accidentally or intentionally that filmmakers tend to exploit gaythemes more. About 7-10 of LGBT movies are only one or two lesbian or lesbiancharacters. Gay male figures make up 77 percent of the films, while lesbians make up the remaining 23 percent (2016 figures).
We can clearly see this number last year. 2017 is considered the "bumper" year of the LGBT series when there are many good movies to be released from the theater, comedy, documentary ... There are nearly 80 films were exploited subject LGBT (according to Wikipedia), however only one third of them are homosexual or lesbian.

This obvious difference raises the question of whether lesbian movies are more marginalized than gay men?

In spite of the discrepancies in the number of movies annually, we can see the inequality in terms of quality and content between lesbian and gay films. If it is objectively assessed, lesbian movies have very few good scripts, unless one wants to say the truth is bad.
Among homosexuals, lesbians face only minorities.
Noting that we will see almost all lesbian movies have a love triangle. Considering movies like Imagine Me and You, Kyss Mig, I Cant Think Straight, The Firefly, Below Her Mouth, etc., we will see that they have similar content. A married girl suddenly meets a gay girl one day, attracted to them and then come together. Imagine Me And You is a bride and groom with a flower shop owner, Kyss Mig is an engaged girl who inadvertently falls in love with her stepmother's daughter, below her mouth. longtime boyfriend and another woman, and so on.

Writers working on lesbian movies often build feminine characters or fiancée, what they experience in the film is mostly deceiving their loved ones and then undergoing a spell. It's about responsibility as well as embarrassment about your sexuality. There is a feeling that invisible lesbians are generally opposed by filmmakers as women they are just curious about sexual orientation than they are actually gay.

Looking at gay movies, although the jointly exploited LGBT topic but the content has depth and stretched in many ages. For example, Moonlight (2017) speaks of the issue of ethnic conflict, social evils are still lurking in American society, or Love, Simon (2018) hit on adolescence with romantic love story , the humor of two high school boys. Call Me By Your Name is a love story full of romantic desire of the student and graduate student than 7 years old. The first attempt to bring gay films to big studios instead of independent studios was a love affair with Love, Simon.
The two films are two different stories but they are very sweet making the audience shake
Beside stirring up a script, the women's drama also lacked the characters in depth and the characters are really interesting. The audience seems to be bored when watching a lesbian movie featuring two pretty girls fall in love with each other, making love and then crying. Sometimes it is not necessary to watch the film as well as predict the outcome. They need more than that, real characters, experiencing real stories.
Lesbians through the eyes of Vietnamese movies.
It can be seen clearly the disadvantage of LGBT female characters in Vietnamese cinema. Although the subject of LGBT is equally vibrant Hollywood cinema, as can be seen every year at least Vietnam will have a film related to homosexuality, transsexual. However, while lesbians have been exploited extensively by filmmakers, lesbianism is completely absent from "home" or, rather, not.
In addition to Thai Love's remake featuring Chi Pu and Gil Le on homosexual love between two close friends, Nguyen Nhan Ke 's " Nhan Ke" was also considered a "smell" The combination between Ms. Kieu Thi and Linh Lan assassin. However, the feelings of the two girls are still very vague on the film. There are also many other female characters that are well-formed, but their sexual orientation is still unknown.
While the lesbian role is extremely rare on the Vietnamese screen, gay men in the movies, we can tell many names such as Sister Hoi (Thai Hoa role) in the film To Mai Tinh , Trung (Trung Dung) and Hai (Binh An) play in Lac Le, Khoi (Ho Vinh Khoa) and Lam (Luong Manh Hai) in Hotboy Flores and a series of gay men A laughing factor in other comedies.
So is it really too hard to get interesting lesbian characters?
The answer is no.
A Fantastic Woman is the story of director Sebastián Lelio there, the main character is transsexual Marina ( Daniela Vega) was treated brutally and unfairly. But there were no breakthroughs, revenge, or a break. What Marina has left is a heart of mercy and strong energy, she has fought a lifetime to live as a woman. This Chilean movie is something that the American screen should learn, as it goes into the minds and lives of gay, bisexual, transgendered people without trying to "dramatize" their lives.

The mighty Hollywood Empire is home to a myriad of film works, ranging from romance, horror, psychology to science fiction. So why not find out the scripts that have the appearance of lesbian characters in a "normal way" like how many other characters? There are many films that have been successful and well received without the need for a love triangle or a tragic ending, such as Charlize Theron's Monster (2003), about a prostitute prostitute. The Kids Are Alright (2006) is a story about an adult couple with children.

In addition, today's audiences also like to watch the strong, independent, self-governing female characters of their lives rather than the heroines of the cake, just happy to depend on men. There are a lot of female characters that wobble the heart of fanatics like Wonder Woman, Lorraine in Atomic Blonde . Just a little ingenious is the viewer will recognize the "message" that the filmmakers want to send.

We still can not explain the reason why few characters Lesbians on the screen to the same. But looking at the real world, we can see that gay men are more exposed to their sexual orientation than gay men. In the media, the press, we also encounter more stories about gay couples, so popular that in the past few years the public view the appearance of male gay couple is all over normal life. In contrast, gay women often do not show their sexual orientation and have more concealment, which can also affect the minds of many and make them more accepting of homosexuality. lesbians. And perhaps that is why the filmmakers chose to exploit the male characters to match the tastes of the audience.

As a reminder of the LGBT theme in the movie, there is still a lot of inadequacies, but there is a need for even quality and quantity in LGBT movies. We need to have more depth of content than focus too much on the sexual orientation of the two main characters. Not every film must have a gay character, but it takes a serious and fair investment to put gay characters on the screen. In the end, every gender, every sex deserves to be honored for a "proud" world where we live with our own true self.
