I'd struggle to say I 'enjoyed' this, nor would I readily recommend it to anyone, but it was certainly a compelling watch. Super grim and not one I'd ever want to see again.
However, I haven't a clue what the title - 'Miss Violence' - means? Can someone tell me please?
"People like Coldplay and voting for the Nazis - you can't trust people."
We know that 99% of all prostitutes were raped at an early age. Being too young and unaware of other ways of life, when they run away, they fall prey to pimps or porn-makers, for survival. Some are sold, tortured, drugged and killed. Some turn into Aileen Wuornos (the serial killer depicted by Charlize Theron in "Monster") while others kill themselves. Some turn into a wife and mother who ends up being a subject of "Snapped," the reality show about women who suddenly kill a loved one. Some become Madames and abuse the next generation of innocents.
The sexual abuse of female children creates violent women. Some struggle to channel rage into something productive, but it's still a struggle. Others, they can become our worst nightmare. So, the title fits in terms of reflecting reality.
The title also fits the story. The little girl is taught to hit her brother and praised for doing it. The callous old woman who is hit mid-film, takes care of business violently, by the end. The violence that is gang rape... the characters lives are permeated by violence. Think some years into the future. Do we really expect any of the characters to have the life skills to lead nonviolent lives?
This ^^^ is why any survivor of childhood sexual abuse who finds a way to lead a happy, healthy and loving life is AMAZING!
in greek, the noun violence is "female" (meaning that we refer to violence as a "she"; that happens with all nouns here, they are "he", "she" or "it"), so the title miss violence could just relate to violence as an entity (not of course as a being, but more like an existance).
since violence, as only violence - with nothing more or less, is emmiting throughout the film's duration, I think that this explenation could be it, a suffice way to state things, miss violence.
