Are women behind the scenes in Hollywood getting the same treatment as men? The signslook good.Women run three of the seven major Hollywood studios.A recent Sun dance Film Festival was hyped as(被宜称为)the“Year of the Woman" , with more than two dozen films submitted by female directors.We're treated annually to media celebrations of "women in Hollywood" ,which would have been unthinkable 15 years go.But how good is it for women, really?Though some women at the very top tend to think the battle's 88 good as won, many beneath them are still pretty angry.Female film directors work roughly 5 percent of the days that all directors work.Roughly 13 percent of screenwriters are women." Change," says writer Robin Swicord ("Little Women" ), "is moving at glacial speed.”For female screenwriters, the big fight is to prove that they can write more than just"chick flicks."Studio executives, they say, think women can write only about women, and films with female leads are still the exception rather than the rule.“My husband, Nicholas Kazan, is never offered the dog movies and the sister movies," says Swicord."He gets gritty(艰巨的)news stories and legal stories.He gets offered expensive books.I get books with girls in them."Female directors say they're sill laboring under the myth that women simply aren't tough enough to handle the pressure that comes with a big-member crew and a $ 50 million budget.Despite the dramatic inroad Kimberly Peirce has made with her movie, Boys Don't Cry, the directors' ranks are still very much a male stronghold.Women who have made it in Hollywood tend to do it in production offices and executive suites.And it can seem to women on the creative side that women ’on the money side have no desire to g out of their way to help them.In fact, some female executives insist that they won't give a woman special treatment; they hire, of course,on the basis of who's right for the job.Female executives might try to pretend they're gender less purely as a matter of survival.Tothem, saying Hollywood is sexist is like saying the ocean is blue.Let's just get on with life.But for a writer or director struggling to get her next job, that's exactly the problem.She can't.
