Whatever happened to real men in movies? While watching an old Charlton Heston film, I am taken with the strong male characters that he always seemed to play and it hit me that these kind of real men are almost gone from movies today.

While I'm not a fan of Charlton Heston, I was raised on 80's and 90's action movies like Commando, Predator, First Blood, Die Hard etc. I miss those kinds of heroes in movies. | |

Art imitating life or...u kno the rest. Over emotional, bitchy, gossiping males are pretty common nowdays. Sperm count dropping at alarming rates 4 some yrs now. Estrogen in the meat, dairy. Contraceptive pills flushed down the loo's/tap water. Endocrine disrupting chemicals all over the place...

That's why I don't say anything back, because there's so much that's wrong" - P, Dec '15 | |

All though that "role" is still out there, it is not as prevalent as it once was. Just like Westerns were popular once, things go in cycles. You also might note that the completely emotional helpless female roles are less prevalent too. You may not need a strong man to save you, if you can save yourself.

It all went down hill with the rising popularity of manscaping. Leave a little patch of hair somewhere, please, FFS! Murica: at least it's not Sudan. | |

Society has changed in time. I don't remember the movie but there was a movie with Clark gable (I believe) that showed him in a tank top undershirt and it created a huge uproar. The acceptance of "foul" language has changed as well. A movie could have earned an "x" based on cursing alone. Now nudity, same sex relationships,drug use, and other "taboos" are portrayed commonly in movies. Stories are now driven by special effects and box office draw Rather than content. Sadly the days of Steve McQueen, Sidney Poitier, Paul Newman and others, actors who could act and used talents in their craft have been replaced by pretty faces and bodies. There are still movies with good acting in them...but the old days of Hollywood stars has passed in my opinion | |
