"To me, Dunkirk felt like an excuse for men to celebrate maleness—which apparently they don't get to do enough" | Whining feminist asks why director Nolan didn't make a movie about women in World War II instead.
The Blu-Ray Disk says that females held some of the most senior positions in the process, in fact, one of the "special features" is actually a 20-minute video about this very topic... Obviously I didn't fact-check it, I was just going off what I saw.
I kind of feel sorry for her. She's so used to her "inclusive, diversity, safe space, quota of minorities" sheltered upbringing, she's actually not equipped to live in the real world.
Movies are made for entertainment and to make money. If someone wants to make an awesome war film that lots of men want to spend their own money to watch, there's not a damn thing she can do about it.
She can write her article, but it will have no affect on anything. It's just shouting into a vacuum.
The stupidest thing is that if someone wants to write and direct a movie about women and minorities in war, they can. But it isn't going to have the same appeal so won't get the same budget. That's precisely why this that type of film will be an independent movie. It simply doesn't have the mass appeal.
Once again, this is idiots raging against nature.
Reminds me of a mentally disabled man telling me it was "unfair" that sky had all the good programs and that they should "let some of the other channels have them."
Taking away from the fact that its a movie based on REAL events and real deaths. Why would anyone think its okay to take away from the fact that we only live in a free world because of these men and women who made the greatest sacrifice one can make. They died so we can live in a free world where we can write and read about the things we want.
She's an idiot and possibly a misandrist, but this isn't /r/KotakuInAction and there are no rights being affronted, just poorly informed opinions. As a "film person" I'm far more upset by her absolutely shitty, half-assed, and ranty review about things that are unrelated to the content of the film itself... but someone else being an idiot in their professional opinions on films, especially when they're written for a side-page of an online fashion magazine, doesn't impact me that much (even if she's given a voice by internet trolls who are trying to manufacture outrage at her agenda for THEIR agenda)
Spoiler-ish - I felt the movie was FAR more focused on tone than plot, but that made sense since the plot was trying to be as close-to-real-events as Nolan felt he could allow while making a compelling movie. Same caveat applies to the reason Nolan wrote the 3 primary stories into the script such that there was a disorder of time - that way the climaxes of all stories could occur at the same point of the movie's run time. There are obvious counters to everything in this article, anyone with half a brain and half a fuck could offer counterpoints or outright contradictions to this article which, again, the author didn't see as necessary - she instead started talking about One Direction ("...what the fuck?"). This is tumblr-bait. Don't fall for it, you just give it circulation and give this nonsense a voice.
TL;DR - ("I saw 'Brokeback Mountain', and I'm very disappointed in the lack of martial arts choreography" "...what the fuck?") Judge a movie on its merits, not on arbitrary rules you make up to flunk it because it wasn't what you were in the mood to see. Also, you guys should do better than getting uppity at what's basically tumblr-bait
So we should take history and replace every male with a female, then make a movie about it and call it "accurate"?
Riiiggghhht... Because not only would that in itself be completely sexist, but it obviously makes loads of sense.
Here's an idea - why not take a historical story around women and make that?
Oh wait, people have done that already - and not once did men whinge that it didn't have enough men in it because (surprise!) it was a historical flick about women !
Why do you feel like it is demonization? I didn't get that from the article, the author clearly has different standards for what makes a movie "special" and those standards have to do with pushing social boundaries.
This movie did not push social boundaries so she doesn't consider that special. That doesn't mean that she demonized men.

I kind of feel sorry for her. She's so used to her "inclusive, diversity, safe space, quota of minorities" sheltered upbringing, she's actually not equipped to live in the real world.
Movies are made for entertainment and to make money. If someone wants to make an awesome war film that lots of men want to spend their own money to watch, there's not a damn thing she can do about it.
She can write her article, but it will have no affect on anything. It's just shouting into a vacuum.
The stupidest thing is that if someone wants to write and direct a movie about women and minorities in war, they can. But it isn't going to have the same appeal so won't get the same budget. That's precisely why this that type of film will be an independent movie. It simply doesn't have the mass appeal.
Once again, this is idiots raging against nature.
Reminds me of a mentally disabled man telling me it was "unfair" that sky had all the good programs and that they should "let some of the other channels have them."

The hate us, don't they? Purely and simply, no real further explanation needed.

Taking away from the fact that its a movie based on REAL events and real deaths. Why would anyone think its okay to take away from the fact that we only live in a free world because of these men and women who made the greatest sacrifice one can make. They died so we can live in a free world where we can write and read about the things we want.

She's an idiot and possibly a misandrist, but this isn't /r/KotakuInAction and there are no rights being affronted, just poorly informed opinions. As a "film person" I'm far more upset by her absolutely shitty, half-assed, and ranty review about things that are unrelated to the content of the film itself... but someone else being an idiot in their professional opinions on films, especially when they're written for a side-page of an online fashion magazine, doesn't impact me that much (even if she's given a voice by internet trolls who are trying to manufacture outrage at her agenda for THEIR agenda)
Spoiler-ish - I felt the movie was FAR more focused on tone than plot, but that made sense since the plot was trying to be as close-to-real-events as Nolan felt he could allow while making a compelling movie. Same caveat applies to the reason Nolan wrote the 3 primary stories into the script such that there was a disorder of time - that way the climaxes of all stories could occur at the same point of the movie's run time. There are obvious counters to everything in this article, anyone with half a brain and half a fuck could offer counterpoints or outright contradictions to this article which, again, the author didn't see as necessary - she instead started talking about One Direction ("...what the fuck?"). This is tumblr-bait. Don't fall for it, you just give it circulation and give this nonsense a voice.
TL;DR - ("I saw 'Brokeback Mountain', and I'm very disappointed in the lack of martial arts choreography" "...what the fuck?") Judge a movie on its merits, not on arbitrary rules you make up to flunk it because it wasn't what you were in the mood to see. Also, you guys should do better than getting uppity at what's basically tumblr-bait

So we should take history and replace every male with a female, then make a movie about it and call it "accurate"?
Riiiggghhht... Because not only would that in itself be completely sexist, but it obviously makes loads of sense.
Here's an idea - why not take a historical story around women and make that?
Oh wait, people have done that already - and not once did men whinge that it didn't have enough men in it because (surprise!) it was a historical flick about women !

Why do you feel like it is demonization? I didn't get that from the article, the author clearly has different standards for what makes a movie "special" and those standards have to do with pushing social boundaries.
This movie did not push social boundaries so she doesn't consider that special. That doesn't mean that she demonized men.
