Bechdel Test Movie List

Tzipporah and Miriam have a duet about freedom, but that isn't really a conversation.

In fact, there is a little conversation between Tzipporah and her sisters about " trying to get the funny man out of the well ", but they are talking about Moses of course.

I might be biased since it is one of my favorite movies, but I think it does pass the test, albeit dubiously. As with what Renee said, Tzipporah and Miriam do sing together and considering the fact it *is* a musical, I think it counts.

The film definitely passes the first two tests, and I believe the third as well.
I would argue that it passes all three because Tzipporah and Miriam have a duet which is a conversation about faith, and about hope, and about miracles. No men.
If this doesn't count as a conversation due to being sung, there are two other conversations which could qualify for some of the tests:
The conversation between the grandmother and the granddaughter. The granddaughter is obviously encouraging the grandmother to continue. It is in Hebrew, and they are not named, however.
The conversation between Tzipporah and her sisters definitely passes the first two tests. It is all talking about men (Moses and their father), however, so fails the third, but the rating needs to be changed to show that it passes test two.
As well as passing the test, this film has a lot of excellent female characters: Miriam, Tzipporah, Moses' mother and Moses' adoptive mother. Tzipporah and Miriam are both interesting and complex characters on a par with Moses and Aaron. Tzipporah is independent her and Moses' romance shows equal courtship. Miriam is really inspiring, and has a large presence and power despite being very short.
One especially good moment is Moses' adoptive mother's pained expression when Tzipporah is pushed into the pond. I think the audience can feel her pain then, and feel for all the women throughout history who've been repressed.

Two named women
(Miriam and Tzipporah)

Have a conversation
(by the well in Goshen)

About something other than a man
(Tzipporah's escaping the palace and she stops by the Hebrew quarter and asks Miriam for water. Miriam fills up her water pouch and sends her on her way with a blessing -- "may God protect you.")

And that's not counting the duet in "When You Believe" -- which should count. It is a musical...

Time to update this entry.

I've updated the rating from 1/3 to 3/3.

Tzipporah: Please, I need water. I have a long journey ahead of me.
Miriam: May God protect you.
Tzipporah: Thank you. Hut-hut!
