Why Aren't There Any Strong Hispanic Female Leads?

Recently, we have had strong leads in movies. Especially with Wonder Woman, we see that strong female leads are possible and inspire so many people. We should move forward even more and have a strong, Hispanic female lead. Yes, we have had amazing Hispanic female leads in previous movies like Jessica Alba, Michelle Rodriguez Cote de Pablo. Still, they are being taken out of the light by their other male leads. So why hasn't there been a Hispanic female lead yet?

By having a Hispanic, female lead we will be showing little girls how they can be strong too. We will be showing a whole race that they shouldn't live under someone else's shadow. They are amazing woman out there that are more than just their good looks or a good body. They are smart, leading and have done truly extraordinary things.

Hollywood is run by men. Lately, we have seen what goes on behind the scenes and it is truly horrifying. Women need to be vocal and strong in telling their male co-workers that they are here for work. Men need to know that not everyone is into them and to keep their hands to themselves, which is taught to preschool kids. By having more female leads that express power, by not just Hispanic women but by all races, they can rise up and show what they are truly capable of.

I am not saying that male leads are terrible or that other races of female leads are not as strong. I believe that we should see a strong Hispanic female lead in a movie that doesn't demonize her, use her as a sex object or is just there to be eye candy. With Wonder Woman, women felt powerful and like they were actually being seen and not just looked at. With a Hispanic lead, we will be showing the world how much more woman can do and show that no matter the race we be strong.

More great blogs about strong Hispanic females!

Linking With NME

18 huge films turning 10 in 2018 In the artcile above, they discuss the films that are growing older and turning the big 1-0 this year. I would like to put my input on some of these movies and dicussing them. The Dark Knight was a very pivotal movie. It was one of the best Batman movies to be made and the Joker character was extradinary. It also brought up issues after the death of Heath Ledger and how method acting can get too far. He was warned before filming that the movie was dark and not as friendly as the previous Batman movies made before. It was role that would take a lot out of him mentally and eventually took his life. This movies was one that would go down in history. Wall-E is a cartoon Pixar movie but also kind of changed the world. It opened many people's eyes about taking care of the Earth and how crazy it will get if we don't change our digusting ways. We were taught to take our eyes away from screens and enjoy the world around us. We were shown that lov...

Edward Norton vs. Mark Ruffalo: The Hulk

Our superheroes have grown and become big names from Iron Man to Thor. Every superhero, who has a movie or is a supporting character, is known in the superhero universe. One age-old question within that universe involves the Incredible Hulk. This character's transformation has been an interesting one, to say nonetheless. We will be looking back and comparing the different Hulks. Edward Norton did a decent job at portraying the Hulk. This character isn't the easiest to play and does involve a lot of work. He definitely tried, but the storyline and character development didn't play in his favor. The timing of when the movie was released is also a playing a factor. This movie came out before the Marvel universe actually became a phenomenon. That didn't allow the studio and surrounding storylines to further his development. This movie was not a part of the growing universe but rather another superhero movie. Mark Ruffalo had a lot more background and information to work...

Ready Player One Based on a book authored by Earnest Cline, Ready Player One is similar to the storyline of the Matrix, yet different enough to warrant its own attention.

As a way to escape, the populace finds solace in a virtual reality world known as The Oasis created by an eccentric genius.
