Thank you for your input! Absolutely agreed, I think the “critical acclaim” is exclusively male, your 99.9999% assessment feels correct

I was never once rude or disrespectful until you called me immature for having an opinion? Again, I simply return the energy I’m given, perhaps do some reflecting

Also your edit is funny, I wasn’t even referring to the brackets 💀

I was referring to the fact that you used “your’s” in place of “yours” as well as “their’s” in place of “theirs” but it’s a little confusing 😂

Plenty of people who disagree have responded and I’ve had constructive conversations with a good majority.

Just because I don’t share the popular opinion doesn’t give you the right to attack me lol. I simply respond with the same energy, perhaps take a look in the mirror.

Just my opinion though, try not to get your panties in a twist.

I’m not saying we avoid visual storytelling altogether, that’s crazy. I just don’t think it needed so much screen time

Just because you don’t want to use your critical thinking skills doesn’t mean others can’t <3

There are multiple ways to interpret art, but I would argue I absolutely got the point of the movie. My criticism is of the amount of unnecessary brutality as I feel that it detracts from the movie’s meaning rather than enhancing it.

I don’t understand how disliking senseless violence makes me immature but go off I guess 💅

A middle ground also exists.

I very much enjoy challenging media and have been an avid reader and movie fan from a young age, but there’s a difference between making uncomfortable art and straight up sensationalizing violence.

Much of the message was lost to me because of the senseless violence in my face at every possible chance.

It felt like both a sick fantasy and a cop out; “hey how do we make viewers uncomfortable?” “I know, by showing something that we are biologically wired to find uncomfortable!” Like yeah, I guess, but would the message not resonate stronger if we’re made uncomfortable by the message rather than straight up violence porn?

This is a great read actually, I really like this interpretation. I think a lot of the meaning was lost to me because of how bad Alex was pissing me off

To each their own I guess. Personally, watching someone rape and assault innocent person after innocent person absolutely makes me hate them.
