Amazing how so many conservatives are willingly accepting the premise that a girl is the top dog of the ladder as far as being the hero.
I have not read the book, and do not plan on watching the move, because in reality, whenever a battle of any kind that includes death for the losers and life for the winners, the women, girls will ALWAYS LOSE!
However, in today’s emasculated society, even in movies conservatives hail as great, a woman is portrayed as the hero.
Sorry, I’ll put in an old Chuck Norris/Silvester Stallone/ Bruce Willis/Mel Gibson/John Wayne type move where men are portrayed as real men while a women is portrayed as a woman that needs men to protect them like in reality.
Try as they want, America is not France. The American heroes that won wars and still do are the men, while the ladies have in the past, and still do today, support their men.
The reason I made this post is because the writer presents a dystopian future that he believes the left is aiming at. I agree with him. When I read it, I thought that is where I think they want to end up. I have not seen the movie nor have I read the book. I think it’s important to know where they want to go because it may help us prevent it.
waaaaay off the mark...i hadnt heard of this series till a few days ago, and grudgingly went with the Mrs and several other couples to see it...
the 'heroine' is really anything but a ninja lara croft super saviour...
she was good with a bow, which isnt a stretch for wimmin...
BWAHAHAHAHAHAHA. Love people like you, but not in a good way. You admit you don’t know what you’re talking about, but espouse anyway like you did. It’s funny, pathetic, but funny.
She doesn’t win in the “manly” way of strength or speed. She wins by being smart, and sneaky, and nice, which are all ways women (or anybody not built like an action star) can win. Next time either read the material or shut the mouth.
Read the book already. (Amazing me how many people blathering about it haven’t.)
Spoiler: she survives by avoiding most head-on combat, winning by wits, charm, and the occasional arrow. Nothing John Wayne or Charlie’s Angels about this girl.
