domestic violence as a joke


This trailer made the film look good, I would like to see it. However, I note that they use a clip of a man getting hit with a metal pot, seemingly as slapstick. Anyone been hit with a pan? I doubt it's very fkn funny. Rightfully, they'd never use comedic violence against a woman to liven a trailer, I don't think it's right to use violence against a man in this way either. There's nothing wrong with violence being depicted in a film with a context but to be used as a cheap gag in a trailer I think is wrong.

Since when do "one might stands" constitute domestic violence?

It had nothing to do with the kinda sorta cheating. But because he was the source of something that got one of the girls really sick. I will just leave it at that because I don't want to give too much away...

Sick ? She was dying.. So you could see that not only as slapstick but also dramatic..

i found that the first second it seemed funny because of the swift knockout but then when you realise that she's assaulted him a second later, it stops being comedic. it's really quite unacceptable and he should have reported her
