do i just post with the title and the url? does it resolve or should i copy the body as well?
You can use that button to crosspost, it will handle everything for you
They are completely sleep-deprived and exhausted, and not just physically, but also mentally and morally. They can barely see themselves as human. What the creator says isn’t about women but about people in capitalism: if they can’t produce value anymore, their lives are as worthless as a horse with a broken leg.
imo that's a charitable read (maybe deserved, idk the writer or the director), there were two examples of definitely broken young women and one dead old man and the rest of the guys were either in control or doing fine-ish
Why do you believe the main guy isn't broken? He's completely apathetic and lifeless.
well basically everyone in the movie is broken, but he's alive and sane(ish)
compared to dead and insane, he's on top
You really think what he did and how he reacted was sane? The guy is not a psychopath or cold heartless murder, and he didn't even try to flee the scene.
I believe the most in-control character is the main girl, she’s also the most intelligent - seems to be the one to better understand everything that is going on, and her decision at the end shows she was still capable of making choices - it was also her choice to leave, wasn't it?
The reason she carries the gun is the same reason she jokes about buying rat poison earlier, she wanted to do it long before the dance, the dance just made her lose the little faith she still had. The guy was in such a state that he would have gone along with anything she asked, his decision-making capability was completely impaired. Isn’t the dialogue before he says the movie title something like "Why did you do that?" "She asked me". He wasn't capable of accessing what he just did, his last rationalization is that they were just livestock, so it didn't matter.
But back at the creator's view, I think it's expressed in this scene:
tbf his decision making was already non existant "hey you! join this weeks long dance marathon!" "okay i guess"
but my point still stands, it's the porcelain womenfolk who cannot go on
i thought he was going to kill himself as well, that would've made more sense to me
