This was an interesting movie ... yeah, interesting.


It was unusual in the female lead being such a masculine-behaving
character. Imagine if this role was played by a man. It makes me
laugh. We are having our brains played with in careless ways in movies
these days.

But after I look back at this movie I wonder what was the point of it?
Just to "F" with us? Was it supposed to be a super-woman movie,
like there are so many super-man movies, you know the cliche movies
where the main is always in complete control, not matter how many
of his close friends and family he loses, or how many times he gets
shot?

Or was this just an anti-gun propaganda piece?

I find these political movies about certain issues confusing. These issues
seem whipped up as controversial when they really should not be. I can
easily see both sides of this issue. It was depicted well in the scene where
Esme the black women was attacked by the gun nut and saved by the
responsible gun owners.

The problem is that I know a lot of people who own guns, and most of them
are kind of nutty guys looking for an excuse to use their guns. Guns are fun,
guns are cool, but the problem is that they fall into the hands of some people
who are a real danger. What is wrong with having a calm discussion about
what there is to about that?

And the issue is that there does not seem to be much to be able to be done
about it besides background checks. But that is something and it makes sense
to do, as well as to stop the so-called gun show loop-hole.

Why does everyone have to get so unpleasant about this issue?
