Suggestion For Films

Maybe try movies that came out before feminism became so popular. I haven't watched any but seen some old time movie clips and the men are generally respected, its not seen as bad if the woman actually listens to the man, they don't do none of that "I don't let a man tell me what to do" and the male protagonist is actually someone to look up to or admired or the very least portrayed as cool.

However you will have to get past the bad graphics and probably racism and other bad traits of the past. Nowadays it feels like movies are allergic to men being respected or viewed as better than a woman even if it makes sense within the story. Or he has to be a dumb goofball.

I personally stick to 2000s movies. They might have a few feminist sprinkles but they don't totally try to ruin the men or promote major double standards. Around 2017 movies just got really into feminism at least from my viewing.

Like half of the hollywoods “anti-x” type of films absolutely fail in their “anti-x” role and instead do a “pro-x” messaging, unintentionally lol, so ig can look for anti-masculinity films and how of them will be pro it actually

'The Sound of Music' - 1965 - Christopher Plummer, Julie Andrews

'Kramer vs Kramer' - 1979 - Dustin Hoffman, Robert DeNiro

'Awakenings' -1990 - Robert DeNiro, Robin Williams

'Spy Game' - 2001 - Robert Redford, Brad Pitt

'All of Us Strangers' - 2024 (You see gays, I'm not leaving you out, lol...but even so, I like this film because of the Father character played by Jamie Bell)

ALL of the 'Mission Impossible' films starring Tom Cruise, heroic, themes of justice, the greater good, morality, fighting against evil.

Apologies Karkota_24Rollno that I'm missing out films from other heritages / cultures; many Hindu films I used to enjoy watching with my (main) ex...with strong portrayals of masculinity...just can't remember the foreign titles.

It also depends upon what you mean by 'good portrayal'.

'Superman'...
