5 Refreshingly Strong Female Characters in Tony Scott Films

1. Keira Knightley in Domino

Bounty. Hunter. Two words you rarely associate with women. Yet, in Domino, Tony Scott created one of the strongest, most bad-ass characted since Sarah Connor. Tough-as-nail, takes-no-prisoner, name-calling Domino Harvey has all the attitude and coolness of any Action Guy from the 80€™s, yet she keeps her sassiness and feminity. But no one could kick ass better that this bounty hunter, except maybe one of the guys from Expandables€ And that says a lot that you can compare her to the icons of the genre. In the end, what the character Domino is not really a warrior, she€™a fighter. She picks herself up, she fights against life€™s adversities (or what has become adversities for her €“ indeed being a model might not be considered so difficult by the common folks), and she goes on€ Like any hero from Tony Scott€™s movies, she€™s got a fighting spirit, she€™s got will, she€™s got LIFE. Scott€™s characters all had LIFE, and a woman with life should be celebrated even more, as it€™s not that common in movies. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UBXrUu9EZ7Q
