yup


another 'men are awful' movie

reply

Showing an abusive man in a movie doesn't say "all men are awful" any more than showing a hooker says "all women are whores."

I really liked the way the two male leads were contrasted. Jessica Biel's boyfriend wasn't some simpering milquetoast or "perfect man" - he was a flawed, normal guy.

The ladies weren't exactly paragons of virtue - Shiva was a sex worker who was probably also a grifter, while May tossed aside her entire life and the people who cared about her over some imagined ideal of a newfound biological sister.

On the other hand, guy who looks at a well-written nuanced movie and only gets out of it "men are awful" may be projecting...

Do you go around and comment on all movies that depict men as bad? Seems like this isn't your first time *beep* The story involves a pimp forcing a girl to have sex, and you want to defend that? Maybe you should have a daughter and that should happen to her. I bet your father treated your mother like *beep*

State champ in martial arts, trained with firearms, I eFF'n dare you!

pimp didn't force her to do anything, obviously she'll have to keep on selling it unless she is taken care of by the yoga bitch (who gets her money by having sex with the black guy)

You probably would do better if you revised your beliefs about just about everything. Whoa . . . must be tough being anywhere around you.

@cmcurrie2: You're standing on your head and complaining that the world is upside down.

Never argue with a Cultural Marxist. They never make sense and they never give up their racism.
