Why in a movie if a woman is in power, is the whole movie about how damn unusual that is? About the obstacles she has to overcome? I get it that that's how it is in real life, but not that much anymore. Why can't there be a movie about a character much like many of my friends who is just a breadwinner or athlete or whatever and it's not even a big deal?

Bend It Like Beckham
Ugh, as a female soccer player, I HATE this movie. The lead actress has a body that doesn't look like it's ever played sports, let alone soccer, and she has a wildly inappropriate relationship with her coach. Nobody in this film plays soccer and plus, why should she bend it like Beckham instead of Mia Hamm? Why a male idol?? Skip this crap.
Maybe because it takes place in England?
I have a friend who was a star soccer player both in high school & in college & she is built just like Kiera Knightley, only a bit thinner.
