“I feel really lucky that there are other women doing this at the same time. I am constantly inspired by what other women are doing out there and I am inspired by how we are backing each other up.'
Charlize Theron has been at the forefront of changing how women are portrayed in action films for almost 20 years. During Friday’s San Diego Comic Con, Theron took the time to sign in from home and speak to online audiences. She discussed women in action films, how women fight, and how fear helps push her to achieve her goals.
This misconception about women also plays out behind the scenes. Theron says when she first received her schedule for The Italian Job, a film where she was the only female lead, she had to take six more weeks of car training than the men did. Luckily, things have changed over Theron’s career. Just look at her recent films Mad Max: Fury Road, Atomic Blonde, and The Old Guard. While older films were more spliced in their editing, now filmmakers focus on longer shots. We can see the technique of a fighter, which shows skill and brings in another layer to allow women to shine in action films.
Arguably the character that has placed Theron on the path towards canonization as an ultimate action hero is Furiosa. For Theron, though, Furiosa isn’t a hero. She says she isn’t attracted to a character because they are “heroes” or “villains”: she is attracted to well-rounded, human characters. “I am not a hero. I don’t relate to heroes. To me, heroes put their head down, they do the work. I have an affinity for that. I like that. I want the characters I play to be someone that we sit in the cinema and say, ‘yeah, I see myself there,’” Theron said.
