Interesting how you want to pretend to be unaware of a debate that basically anyone with even a passing knowledge of politics and cultural issues in the entire western world, and certainly the U.S., knows ...
I'm trying!
I never said not to watch it, just that it was interesting how they're trying to be more slick with the manipulation.
Yeah, maybe less on the nose is a good way to describe it, but at least more subtle than a lot of other movies these days.
I think Men actually presented the toxicity of women too, and both Ex Machina and Annihilation were more balanced, despite maybe superficially seeming not to be, than this movie.
A24 is definitely left of center too, but a lot of their movies are also pretty great (The Witch, Green Room, The Blackcoat's Daughter, Hereditary, etc.).
To me at least, this is kind of a shift to Garland. Maybe a long time coming but still a shift.
I can't help that you're blind to a political and social agenda that is clearly and aggressively being pushed by just about every western government and major multinational corporation.
Yeah, but's it subtle though, often unstated as in just casting choices or understated as in small, random mentions. It used to be more just open political messaging, but this is more devious really, and clearly intentional as it all goes in one way and is present throughout.
I swear, I have gotten to the point where i don't even watch new tv shows while they're still running because 9/10 it's going to get derailed by some political bs, and then I stop watching without satisfying endings for any of the storylines or rage watch out of stubbornness until it ends or it just gets way too dumb...either way a waste of time.
You should be able to do a monthly option, that's what I got.
It's just common sense, both masculinity and femininity become pathological if unrestrained.
