Anti Male film


Having all the men in it portrayed as a idiot or asshole.

Directed by Paul Feig. That explains a lot.

reply

An all female cast wasn't important to anybody other than to Feig & co it would seem. It really isn't relevant if it's all women and anti male, it's the script that matters more than anything.

Judd Appatow is kinda the same

A feminist/anti male genre movie was never going to be a easy sell with any major demographic.

reply

Yep, I guess it seemed like a great idea to director Paul Feig and almost everyone else involved in the project. However, the backlash was HUGE and now they're back making a much more audience appeasing Ghostbusters.

reply

Making it anti male was doing nothing but alienating audience members and driving people out of the movie. It's like making a movie that's anti black or vice versa which would be inducing angry words.

reply

I agree, plus I believe Ghostbusters was the nail in the coffin for the imdb message boards, thus we are now here.

reply

Feminism isn't really relevant to a movie about ghost hunting, it's the script that matters not political views.

Political views really doesn't matter it's the script that matters. Don't know if the anti male aspect was evident in the trailer but if it was the trailer was the most damaging to the movie since it was misleading as a sequel when it wasn't and was pretty badly cut and edited.

2010's was the decade misogyny became unacceptable.

Also I think this version of Ghostbusters "woke" up a lot of men. A lot of men had given up, especially in the work force. Now, just 3 years later, I think men are back in the game..just my opinion, I could be wrong.

Paul Feig does seem to try too hard to be progressive in a lot of his films.

reply

Feig only likes working with women.

reply

It wasn't an anti-male film.

Some say it's very SJW.
