Line 18:
* * Usually it's clear whether or not a movie passes [[The Bechdel Test]]. Not here. Paul's wife speaks to the warden's gravely ill wife, who moves her mouth in response but doesn't speak audibly. Does this count as a "conversation" for test purposes?
** It pretty obviously violates it in spirit (since, y'know, the entire story is set in a male-only prison), making the [[Rules Lawyer]] aspects of it a fairly pointless exercise.
*** There is no spirit to the Bechdel Test, the test is, itself, built on technicalities. It's why it's such a ridiculous metric to try and judge movies on.
