Sorry to all the females out there, but yes, guy filmmakers are messed up. It's a deeper psychological matter at play, probably something to do with mother issues. Let me explain.
So Prof. Leeper mentioned that guys tend to do some weird things with the females in their work. The fairytale assignment he mentioned was a pretty crazy example of that. So that night I go home and put in a random movie. Going through a bit of an Eastwood phase, so I went with High Plains Drifter. In it, there are two moments where different females are dragged off and givin' the what for, if you don't mind my prospector era parlance. Okay, so some context; the movie is about a vengeful spirit that knows that everyone in town is corrupt. He knows that these two women are miserable and desperate to find real men who are not greedy cowards. So they relent and get into the "what foring" if you will. But still, they were dragged, kicking and screaming, into rooms, as if that's the cure for a woman who is screeching at you like a harpie.
What I find interesting is that this was the "ideal man" of the time the film was made. Do you think it's the same for today? In all honesty, do any of you here think about being dragged off like that for some what for? Is that ever, could it ever be, a turn on, or is it just wishful thinking on the part of the male filmmaker.
You'll have to answer, because, as a male, I have no idea how females think. O.0
