Bechdel's Law

Alison Bechdel, cartoonist and author of Dykes to Watch Out For, has an interesting observation on movies — a little test she applies to them. It's a very short checklist, viz:
1. Does it have at least two women in it,

2. Who [at some point] talk to each other,

3. About something besides a man.

its a very interesting test, and amazingly many films fail. what do u think of the test? what was the last film u saw that met the test?

Yes, what do the results even mean? What does "passing the test" even imply?
