Well, you are wrong and apparently very naive and probably young - lol
>because the Dalai Lama is serious and not funny in any way
I guess he's not funny to most people, but if you read any Tibetan or buddhist philosophy, there's a lot of humour, and the DL can be a goofball - when he's not getting bashed for doing something truly weird. I've hear him make jokes - comes naturally in buddhism.
I didn't understand it either, but maybe it was supposed to help her not laugh. Just a giant wtf to me - oh, and Tibetan buddhism isn't Zen, so... that's a stretch.
I thought bulimia, because many of these girls could use that strategy. It's still a thing. It also works that she is having her first drinks and seh's gonna barf. Both can be true, all depending how the listener takes it.
It's to show her tomboy nature. Yes, and that she's not gay. People are that stupid. Lived with it all my life - lol. They assume you're gay if you don't play all the feminine games. Lesbians loved me. Too bad I'm not gay.
She was the perfect one to kill. She was a naive ditz and not the most glamou
rous.
Plus she had recently found out he had a nefarious past, just like the rumours about his mother.
There *is* an ignore button here. I don't wanna get used to it. But you do you.
That's not why. That's simplistic. Naturally, in a satire, nuanced theory won't be expressed. Look into the history of feminism. Do some reading. Who took away Roe v Wade? Mostly men, because they aren't personally affected the way we are. Men rule the world, still, and women are second class citizens. Women don't get some of those low jobs because they are home raising kids for no pay. Etc, etc. Please use your brain more.
You really should quit the all caps thing, though. Damn. Makes you look like a screaming moron - no offence intended, lol
Sorry you don't share the sense of humour in the movie. I didn't find it preachy.
"Man the hunter" is a fallacy:

As well, we live in a different world now and men's ability to be physically tough protectors is really not the way to success. Intellect and social savvy are what matters, now. Unless you're a logger or some such, I suppose. But they don't rule our world, if you haven't noticed. They (the macho rural type) just thinks he does. THankfully I don't live with such people anymore.
Yeah, they missed the chance for a funny non-sex scene where they can't do anything because of their anatomical inadequacies.
😂😂😂 The Ken character was priceless. I really enjoyed him. But, yeah, an incel - lol
Yeah, me too. There is a toxic form of masculinity. I think we could just call it toxic behaviour, period. It has nothing to do with "masculinity" however one defines that, but it definitely does have to do with the FACT that patriarchy is real and women are treated as less than men. I did not play with Barbies or have any affection for them, fashion, or all the female rules most women get snared in (I chose not to follow those rules) but I was excited to see this movie as I thought it would be a satire. It had some good bits but I think it needed a rewrite or two more. Yeah, the Barbie world is as fucked up as the real world. Agree on that for sure.
No, but disgusting sexism was even more tolerated than it was today. MCP humour turns me off - that's Male Chauvinist Pig - kind of an antique term right now - lol
I dream of something like this happening to me - not the drama but the sense of connection and mutual caring and growth. Thought my marriage was gonna be like that. Glad to read your comment that you saw that. Most people didn't, it seems, at least among commenters here.
Uh, what? So wrong. Why did you watch it if it wasn't interesting?
It was very interesting and was about some deep and real emotions and human connection. Guess you missed that part.
I'm in Canada, just happened to catch this on the hotel TV. Just surfing around checking out different things, and thought this was some tv series. But the quality seemed too high, to me. Never heard of this movie and I'd say it's well done without the always-rural-tainted old style Canadian culture stuff.
Hilarious, accurate and on point.
I'm no romance expert despite my age, but this movie hit me as a depiction of love. They cared about each other as people. They connected deeply, not just in that superficial sense of attraction/lust. What each had was of tremendous value to the other. His behaviour while flailing with Rachel was painful to watch, in contrast. Almost too much. So, 9 years later, I'm asking if you think this showed those feelings developing. I think it did. They stepped out of their usual roles and lucked into something and were open to it and present in it.
Rachel was a psycho, yes. Just wanted to manipulate and use him. Interesting contrast to the SM play in that intense psychological scene, which was intended as a deeply loving and healing relationship experience. Not generalizing about SM but specifically the way it was used here.
