well...now i know why it was banned. hardcore even by today's standards.
>>218114340Susan George's character said 'no'. But she didn't put up much of a fight during her rape. In my opinion, she enjoyed her ''ordeal''.
I’m more of a Bring Me the Head of Alfredo Garcia kind of guy.
>>218114340It was banned because feminists don't like male directors showing women being whores
>>218114340how woke is this? you expect older movies to be okay but ive been burned before
>>218115573It’s a Sam Pekinpah movie so, you know, not at all.
>>218115534Peak kino.
>>218115573it's RW
>>218115573Didn't Pekinpah claim after the movie's release that ACTHUALLY Hoffman's character was supposed to be "the real bad guy" for defending himself from the rapists and murderers, was something about him supposedly "inviting and escalating the violence" and how that is supposedly worse than being the people who actually initiate the violence?
>>218114340Home Alone for adults. Good film. And it has Bishop Brennan
>>218115917They’re all shitty cruel people. Embrace the concept of nuanced thought
>>218115504The first guy yes, the second one no.
>>218115941People tend to overlook that very obvious and important part of it for some reason
>>218115940No amount of "nuance" in the world is going to turn somebody defending himself, his wife and his property into something worse than the rapists and murderers trying to do them harm in the first place.
>>218115917I don't think he said "real bad guy" , but it's obviously true if you've watched the movie that the main character is glad to have the chance to get revenge on the cornish yokels who insulted and persecuted him, and that;s likely why he sheltered the retard even after he knows the retard is likely guilty of assaulting those girls like they claimed because the retard tries to assault his wife even after the main character shelters him. the main character instantly forgives the retard attempting to assault his wife because what he really wants is to get revenge on the Cornish village men.You could say that it's a typical example of the neuroticism that liberal urban folk have about country folk. but it;s still more right wing and has more verity because it doesn't portray the liberal cityperson as wholly good or innocent like liberals imagine themselves as.
>>218115961The movie is ALL about nuance and the ambiguity of the situation, dumbass. He got belligerant not even to defend himself or his wife (which remember, he doesn't even know she was raped). He did it to protect a retard who raped and killed a girl. Of course that situation is its whole big mess, the girl shouldn't have instigated a retard with no self control and it's debatable how much he can be held accountable, but the ones who want to lynch him are rapists themselves and arguably worse than him. And none of that matters to Hoffman's character, he doesn't actually care about the retard himself, that's just the arbitrary point when he decided to put his foot down and stop taking shit from the local hicks.
>>218115961You’re trying to simplify an issue that’s deliberately not black and white. They’re anti intellectual savages and what they do is indefensible, he’s a snob who ends up visibly enjoying the savagery he inflicts, and he doesn’t protect his wife, and neither does the ex who she still has feelings for. They’re all pretty foul
>>218115917I have seen faggots criticise this movie for its supportive stance on castle doctrine so I sincerely doubt it.
>>218116130>which remember, he doesn't even know she was rapedAn excellent point. The film deliberately avoids giving him information like that which would make his actions at the end more justifiable and heroic to the audience. There’s still self defence, but his behaviour is far more ego and spite driven than about actually defending or caring about his poor wronged wife
>>218115573I think that a modern audience wokeoid would just spontaneously combust if exposed to a Peckinpah movie.
>>218114340the remake movie is much better
>>218115534i watched that movie because of this post and it was kino, thx anon
>>218117522It leaves you feeling gross and dirty, I love it.
>>218114340It’s legit kino and a warning to all men not to be passive in a relationship.
>>218114340>>218115591for me it's his wholesome era with The Deadly Companions and The Ballad of Cable Hogue
>>218118609yea its a little bit like sorcerer in that you can see how taxing the story of the movie is physically on the characters instead of just through writing and acting. good quality blu ray transfer too, it was a very high fidelity scan that looked great
>>218114340>hardcore even by today's standardsNot at all. TV series that everyone's mother watches have more graphic rape scenes.
>>218115504>In my opinion
