The last story featuring her was not witty, funny or edgy. It was deeply misogynistic. No rape victim would behave as she did in this movie. It lookd like everyone involved in this movie asked their friends to rate this. 6.7?? I don't think so. It deserves about a 3. Poorly written.
sharewho the frack is Zoe Sanander? Do you mean the beautiful and talented actress Zoe SALDANA by any chance? lol
shareYou say it's "deeply misogynistic," but I'd argue that it's actually deeply misandristic...at least based on the trailers I've seen. Whether I'll watch it or not, I'm not so sure.
However how's this for villification:
- Man molests his daughter.
- Man manages to get his girlfriend to do something she's repulsed by and ultimately it destroys her mind.
- Man rapes a woman, who it turns out likes it...so he essentially wants nothing more to do with her.
Even the trailer features the image of a boy in the crosshairs of a weapon. Does the kid wind up being killed in this way? I've no idea at this point...but if the film is indeed meant to be misogynistic, shouldn't it be a little girl being targetted?
See, this film depicts men as rapists, molesters, flamboyant homosexuals, and extraordinarily selfish...and depicts men ultimately destroying women...at least, that's what I see with it.
These images are the ones that are force fed to society, which then harbors misandry in it's institutions (where men are subjected to more severe discipline when they are convicted of the same crimes as female criminals), in it's cultural depictions (ie. the "bad people" almost always HAVE to be men...if women are involved, it's because a man is making her do it), and in it's social values (ie. women are regarded as having more integrity than men)...which in turn makes it easier to further polarize men.
And men, in turn, ignore the peril of this approach because the assumption is that THEY will never be the ones who are judged by this system...until they are.
So you call it misogynistic...but it seems to carry on a trend of depicting women as victims and men as vile and vicious...so I'd actually argue that it's more misandristic than misogynistic! People will not come out of this movie I suspect feeling worse about women...
...but I suspect some will come out feeling worse about men!
Great comment.
shareI agree, Fitch. She's chasing the guy, begging him to rape her again. Then the whole stupid film is over. I was like, what the F_CK? Why accomplished actors like Nick Stahl or Zoe Saldana would even be in a crappy excuse for a film like this is baffling to me.
