'The Shawshank Redemption,' the Academy Award nominated 1994 prison drama is one of the best films ever made. It takes place largely in a men's prison from roughly 1947 to 1975, and -- therefore -- has a male-centric cast.

This seemed post-worthy to a stats account, for reasons that make no sense (unless they like getting ratioed into oblivion, that is).

Lefties like to use the Bechdel test to measure how diverse a movie is regarding female representation. In a major twist of irony, the 'creator' of the test—Alison Bechdel—<a href="https://www.theguardian.com/books/2023/jul/02/alison-bechdel-test-dykes-to-watch-out-for-cartoonist-interview" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">says it was a joke</a>, but the Left apparently doesn't listen to that woman.

They seemed to have glossed over that part.

'Master and Commander' is a great film. Take it from this woman.
