hahaha no he clearly has a thing with women as being the most two dimensional and flat characters in his movie, with no impetus of their own as simply drifting beings who only react to male action.



a lot of Cruise's dialogue in Eyes Wide Shut is him literally just repeating the last thing a person just said to him. And it seems weird to single out Kubrick for having 2 dimensional female characters who only react to male action considering thats a problem with most all directors and the entire motivating rationale behind the Bechdel test

it's probably because she expects more from Crowned King Hall Of Fame All Time Great American Director but shockingly the hero of bourgeois cinema does not reflect much more than the shallow misogyny of any throwaway hollywood film

dude if some guy I'd just met got into my shower, on my boat I wasn't aware he was on, NAKED, I'd probably kill him or at least scream bloody murder

you are deliberately ignoring that she left out a bucket of ice and two champagne flutes, the universal signal for consent

"im sorry but this movie about US soldiers fighting in the Vietnam War does not contain enough strong female characters. please destroy all workprints and rewrite the screenplay as a What If alternahistory starring Zoe Kazan as Gunnery Sgt. Hartwomyn, a tough but fair (not to mention quirky!) drill instructor struggling to balance work, life,....and love"

I've always seen kubrick's movies to not be misogynist per say, rather focused on masculinity. which is, in and of itself, rather misogynist since he is just making films about one side of the human species.

is a movie about femininity misandrist.

disclaimer: ive never seen eyes wide shut

i think its funny that people are asserting that kubrick is a mysognist, not because of anything actually mysognist in his work, but rather because he didnt have enough female characters

also wasn't full metal jacket about the dehumanizing horror of being a part of the american army which was (aside from apparently 6000 medical and support staff) entirely male in the vietnam era? i dunno i'm no film professor or american or anything, i'm just a misogynistic asshole trying to defend the patriarchy

the feminist rejoinder would be that nobody forced him to tell male-dominated stories like FMJ, the Shining, Clockwork Orange, or 2001. he could have picked a great allegorical feminist novel on the nature of humanity, such as lol

the last third was boring as shit and ruined the movie. Bond movies used to have cool threats like nuclear sharks or whatever and now we're meant to care about M's safety and life? she lives by the sword so why the hell is the audience meant to care if she dies? i don't understand why they would think that was engaging
