I'm pretty sure the only reason The Room even passes the test is because the Mom character very suddenly says, out of nowhere and with no resolution later, that she has breast cancer. Otherwise, the two women were always talking about freaking Johnny.Elesar said:The biggest thing that I think can be said about how well the Bechdel Test fails to rate female characters is this:
The Room technically passes the Bechdel test, whereas Fargo fails it.
OT: I've never actually seen anyone in real life use the Bechdel test, only the internet. It's weird to think that theaters are now suddenly giving movies "Bechdel Ratings".
