Type Eight Women in Movies, Part 1

Furiosa

In this episode of the "The Enneagram in a Movie," hosts Mario Sikora and TJ Dawe dive deep into three powerful portrayals of female Enneagram Type 8 characters: Furiosa from "Mad Max: Fury Road" and its prequel, "Furiosa"; Jackie Brown from Quentin Tarantino’s "Jackie Brown"; and Emily from "Emily the Criminal."

The discussion centers on how these strong-willed, complex women navigate a world filled with conflict, power dynamics, and challenges unique to their character arcs. In this video, we focus on how Furiosa's relentless determination to escape a dystopian patriarchy showcases the Type 8 archetype, highlighting her leadership, grit, and strategic mind.

They discuss her evolution across two films, emphasizing the complexities of a female Type 8 in a cinematic world that often favors traditional male heroes. Mario and TJ also touch on the broader issue of why Type 8 women are rare in both movies and Enneagram literature, examining how society's portrayal of assertive women impacts their representation on-screen. This episode is perfect for fans of cinema, Enneagram enthusiasts, and those fascinated by strong female leads.
