Finally a movie that says what we're all thinking, women are out to get you and betray you; I LOVED YOU KATYA, YOU BROKE MY HEART! In all seriousness, I love how both men never regarded her as an actual individual.

1984 wasn't really about anything really

How the heck can you be so obtuse to even use lame mark archetypes, that are defined by their interactions with women, and still deny female presence let alone agency on the movie?!

monkey posted:I'm not back pedaling at all, but there's no point arguing with you further. I will leave you with this. I scoffed at a thread about this movie that was overwhelmingly focussed on feminism, because this is the only film I've ever seen that makes constant references to the work of Hofstader and addresses concerns of the Future of Life Institute. I was looking forward to reading CD's take on that sort of thing, but apparently those aspects slid right past you all because Ava had tits. I'd actually argue that some feminists wouldn't enjoy the movie much though, maybe because I'm male but, I thought it was a more male centric story anyhow.

K. Waste posted:I am specifically saying that Caleb was not being oppressive, just maybe a little creepy. Kinda. Again, I don't by the 'nice guy' reading. Caleb is not a nice guy, but a 'good man.' The most someone can say is "it was part of the experiment," but that still requires two people being exploited.
