The Brutalist is some misogynistic shit

[ThatNimblePeer]

Currently watching on streaming, have reached the interval. So, an hour and forty minutes into this critically acclaimed film, and so far women when they appear at all have appeared as 1) naked prostitutes 2) naked actresses in a porn movie and 3) the exquisite model-looking 26 year old wife of an early fifty something man (Alessandro Nivola, no comment or explanation as to why his wife is half his age or why she seems somewhat sexually interested in the main character Adrien Brody, also early fifties. Because, you know, that would require them to give her a character and an inner life).

Fuck this shit. I feel gross just watching it.

I watched the banshees of inisherin and did not think it was that good 😄

Was just a weird film

I actually liked that one. Not sure what it has to do with my post though?

😄 girl nothing, I was just adding my two pence about Oscar winners

I agree that the women are not having a great time in The Brutalist, especially poor Zsofia. I thought Erzsebet was an interesting character and clearly intelligent and strong so a bit redemptive in terms of female characterisation. Also something happens later which you don't usually see in films (compared to women) but I won't spoil it just in case.

I try and watch all the main Oscar nominations every year and a lot are worthwhile subjects miserably done. Banshees of Inisherin did not make me feel warm and fuzzy inside LOL
