Bechdel Test Movie List

Eagle Eye stars two female leads (Michelle Monaghan as Rachel Holloman and Rosario Dawson as Zoe Perez); the two never talk to one another. However, they each converse with ARIA, a military supercomputer voiced by Julianne Moore. Does this count?

Otherwise, Zoe Perez does talk to another female Air Force employee, but she's unnamed.

Rachel Holloman is seen talking with her friends, but 1) they're unnamed and 2) it's about a man at the bar.

ARIA should count as a female character, and she has conversations with both of the other named female characters.

ARIA is a genderless Artificial Intelligence System that happens to have a female voice that is uses when it needs converse with humans.

Not a female character, does not pass.

Just a side bar is that the movie DOES pass the racial Bechdel Test: Zoe and Logan have an extended action scene/conversation as they discuss how to deactivate ARIA. Their actions together also ensure that ARIA is defeated and removed as a threat in general.

Interestingly, were we to consider ARIA gendered as female because of her voice/voice actress, Moore, then the film may not pass the racial Bechdel Test on the same grounds that ARIA's voice/voice actress is white.

i think ARIA passes. the writers could have named the computer DAN or BOB and given it a male voice, but they gave it a female identity. we could debate the correlation between gender and self-identification/environment, but all that matters to me is that this computer is a central character that converses intelligently with other female characters.

i would feel the same about "VIKI" in I,Robot and "The Red Queen" in Resident Evil.
