devastating: the feminist essay didnt actually watch the movie
#read 2 essays abt paris texas because i was trying to understand the argument against it#post answers any questions u may have abt the essays#its not a feminist film no but it is in fact far from misogynistic. huzzah#the main problem is people watch it and go 'what the fuck this man is so shitty why are we supposed to agree with him' when the movie tells#you many times that you are not supposed to agree with him#also both of them said we are 'manipulated into empathising with him' which is how all stories work#you are told how to feel about a character through contexts theyre shown in. this is how you tell a story#and if its a good story they dont point at it and say 'this one was bad' they let you decipher that for urself#spoilers (u should watch it its a Great movie) but ur not supposed to think hunter going back to mum is good. they tell you this twice#explicitly through the women of the film. (the french lady so afraid of losing him and loves him so much. and the og mum finally able to#move on from the horrific life experiences she had from aged 17-18 told through her monologue. like come on. watch the movie)
