Hanna - women aren't small men


Listen Later

I have been looking forward to this episode since the start of the season. I specifically selected Hanna so we could study fight scenes and weapons handling with female characters - Hanna doesn’t disappoint. I consider aspects of female fight scenes and firing pistols. Valerie wasn’t so lucky this week. Hanna is light on story because the action scenes take up a lot of space. However she did find a strong example of another story telling principle…join us to find out what it was. - M.

"Not surprisingly, women fight differently from men. There are significant things to understand about the sociological, psychological, biological and bio-chemical differences between male and female characters." Melanie Hill
