bechdel_testI recently saw the movie Salt with ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
lilaia and all the people in my circle are right: this movie rocks.
1. Angelina Jolie as a super-competent kick-ass spy hero, who is presented in a basically non-sexualized way*, and has an emotional arc.
2. Chiwetel Ejiofor. I will see him in anything.
Note that it still just barely passes the Bechdel test for a conversation between Salt and a girl who lives next door. I still highly recommend it.
It opens on one disturbingly violent scene of Salt imprisoned and being tortured, but after that is basically PG-13 content: no sex, stylized movie violence, car chases and such.
*I thought the drag outfit was pretty sexy myself, but YMMV.
