The Invisible Man tackled all of the same issues that this movie tackles but does an infinitely better job. It also handles it with much more subtlety, as while it never flat out says that Adrian raped Cecilia (nor does it even overtly mention rape or sexual assault), you get a sense that that is the case when she says that he would hit her "among other things". There's also the fact that she's easy to relate to and identify with, which you can't say for any of the characters in this movie. Most of all, it's actually scary; the scene where Adrian's breath appears behind Cecilia is far more terrifying than anything that happens in this movie. It's ironic, since there's so much insistince that stories like this need to be told by women and The Invisible Man was written and directed by a man.

Eric H feminisms is.. or was supposed to be about equal rights for EVERYONE everyone deserves these rights the only reason it was originally called feminism because women and the idea of feminity, were in history looked down on and associated with a piticular gender when everyone has a right to feminity or masculinity. That’s what it’s SUPPOSED to be much like not every guy is a jerk, not every gay man is a villain, not every blonde persons the same applies to feminist not every one of them Believes woman are better and men are less then them someone that’s gross mentality that, we all, on both sides, need to grow up and move past to reach true equality. That being said, these stereotypes exist for a reason because we CAN be these awful things. Men can be jerks intentionally or unintentionally, there have been people in the lgbtq+ who have done things that make the group look bad, dumb people who are blonde exist, and their are feminists, like the people who made the new Charlie’s Angels and this, who honestly believe these dumbass things. It my therory but I think the reason people see the extreme cases more are because their so extreme they make good news and drama, better drama then a nonextreamest doing something.

I’ve actually never seen the original (something I will be correcting soon) but even still I said out loud “there’s no way this is anything like the original.” It was awful.

It's really disheartening to see movies like this. Feminism was supposed to be about women becoming EQUAL to men. But now it just feels like a bunch of bullies are taking out their hatred on all guys-not just the ones who are legitimately horrible, but innocent men who probably abhor misogyny-and they're hiding under the feminist movement so that people don't call them out. Black Christmas is a prime example of this. I, for one, am tired of the whole 'agenda first, story second' trend. If I want to watch a 'feminist' movie, I'll just switch on 'Alien' or 'Nightmare on Elm Street'-movies that have well-done characters you care about, proactive female protagonists who are actually PEOPLE, and an engaging story. Thanks for reviewing this one, Chris. Glad I didn't see it in theaters.

[@earlgrey2130]

When you actually look at the history of feminism it was rarely about equality. It was about using blame to get advantages. Some of them lead to equality. But quite a lot of them had nothing to with equality, but getting undeserved privledges. That's why feminsts are so adamant about keeping up the victimhood narrative. The second that's gone, they'd lose all their power.

[@kurlykayla9013]

Feminism is great, but it's often treated as a cash grab, or is only analyzed on a very surface level to the point of being misrepresented and ultimately misunderstood.

[@earlgrey2130]

@@kurlykayla9013 Let me give you an example: Saying feminism is great and just misrepresented is like saying the nazi-ideology was great but misrepresented. The nazis might have had some good ideas about community, architecture and engineering for example. But the whole killing jews thing kind of poisons the well, wouldn't you agree? Same with feminism. Sure.. thinking about equality is great. And maybe that was once a needed thing. But as long as the victim blaming, all the lies, false data, all the hate and slogans like "kill all men" come with it.. it will always be poisoned. Feminism isn't just the good ideas. It's everything that belongs to the ideology. You can't just pick and chose. It's the whole package or none of it. If you wanna stick with the good stuff only, you're basically just left with human rights. Have you ever heard of someone defending their opinion that human rights are needed? Or that it's "just misrepresented and basically great"? No you haven't. Because things that are great don't need to apologize for their flaws.

[@kurlykayla9013]

@@earlgrey2130 comparing feminism to nazism is asinine. Furthermore, no ideology is ever going to be 100% perfect. The civil rights movement of the 60's contained people who are hateful, but that doesn't mean the cause within itself was. It doesn't mean the movement to liberate racial minorities was a bad thing. And even so, how common is "kill all men"? Genuinely tell me when was the last time you heard or saw people who claim to be feminists use that mantra? Look. I don't claim to be the keeper of all feminists, especially the ones who misinterpret what the point of feminism is. I just know that the pursuit and promotion of fair and equal treatment between genders is a cause worth having. It's more than just human rights. It's about questioning and discussing social perceptions, expectations, and reinforced norms that end up being limiting and damaging to both women and men. This is why I said what i said. You are ignorant, and don't understand much about feminism. The changes and discussions that have come from it are too invaluable, and frankly, I don't see how our understanding and views of gender can change for the better without it.

Loved the review. I struggled with the scene involving Nate being kicked out of the house a lot! I felt like he had a valid point, but was made to be a villain and promptly kicked out of the house. I also agree the whole movie felt like a string of argumentative Facebook posts.

Andrew Tibbs if the message is that men have all the power, how is that conveyed by the one man in the scene being overpowered and kicked out of the group? And it’s a contradiction to say “men have all the power” and “men can’t comment about this film”. Who is controlling the discourse? Who has the power?

It was just cringe-inducing. He starts spouting talking points that sound a lot like real-life criticisms of feminism, but in an improper context. It's a weird, forced interaction so that the movie can give cringey counter-arguments to anti-feminists. But it's cheap because the writers can contrive a scenario that fits their ideology. So the guy is bringing up points that are valid in general in a world where things are nuanced... but they are invalid in a movie where the men are clearly in the wrong, simply because the movie wrote it to be so.

The problem isn't that she's bringing that up, the problem is that she's bringing it up in relation to him saying "Not all men have power!" Which is true when you take into account other issues like the class system, homosexuality, race, disabilities, several factors that do result in "men not having the power" That phrase is not related to any of those things, it's related directly to sexual assault and gender politics, which he probably wasn't talking about with that phrase (I know before and after he was trying to excuse misogyny but that one line stood out as not being directly related). It's weirdly inaccurate and ignores the somewhat valid yet unrelated point he was bringing up.
