You won't get this film and you never will. You will point out the terrible depiction of Hindus; you will decry the glorification of a misogynistic patriarchy, etc, etc.. . and you will, as usual, miss the point completely and be left bitter and angry instead of exhilarated, and thoroughly entertained by top shelf film making. Pity.

Question: Anyone know any women who like this film?

Question: Anyone know any women who like this film?

Yes. Me. Also my sister, my late mother, etc. In fact, I love this movie, and find it "thoroughly entertaining". It is indeed "top shelf film making".

Even your sneering, generalizing, chauvinistic post can't spoil it for me.

Yes, quite a few. They all have understood the historical context of the film as well.

Hitler! C'mon, I'll buy you a glass of lemonade.
