Hotter is Better

When it comes to women in movies and T.V shows they are always played to reach out to men. Many times the women have qualities and stories that women can relate too. It may seem that women are looked at as equal roles in movies but most successful movies always have the men being the top actor. In the successful T.V series "Charlies Angels" the girls have jobs and roles that are typically assigned to men. At the same time the girls are made to be looked at as sex objects. This allows the women to look past those little details that the men are looking for. Sex is the main thing that will get a man attention and women being strong an independent captures the women audience. Movies or shows that can do both of these simultaneously do well in the media. A women who is not typically considered attractive may have a great job and independent but men will not want to watch the movie as much as if she had all the same quality's but attractive. It may not be the right way to make movie and the actress may not be the best for the role but you cannot expect both audiences to be  viewers. Chick flick movies are directly targeted to females and they can get always with having less attractive female actresses. But most producers will want to target as many audience members as possible. Most of the time I have realized that a secondary character if female is almost always very attractive to compliment the males action as a reward.  Everything i have said i feel can be applied in the opposite corner. Men that are considered attractive get many roles unless the character is supposed to be bad looking to make the characters vibe. I feel that is weird that people like to watch the proposed "perfect" person. It doesn't make the movie very realistic to me.
