Name 27 films that were better than this from the last 10 years.

Is that supposed to be Jodie Foster?

>mfw it's in cinemas here this month

>supposed to be

Well is it?

all the MCU films (17 movies)
Star Wars sequels (2 movies)
Rogue One
Ghost Busters (2016)

21 are filled

The system the security guards had for Hannibal's meal time was so fucking stupid, why didn't they just pass the food threw a secure hatch like every other maximum security jail in the modern world.

Because they weren't in a maximum security jail, retard

also a perfect example of a film with a female protag that isn't pandering or shoehorning in a feminist agenda

They wouldn't be able to get away with a tranny villain nowadays

why didnt the guards just throw the food at Hannibal?

Silence of the Lambs is one of the most blatantly feminist movies of all time, even if it doesn't explicitly call attention to it through dialogue. The relevance of Clarice's gender is evident in the subtext of almost every scene in the movie.

>hannibal
>not cannibal

FOR WHAT FUCKING PURPOSE

And it did it tastefully without pandering.

Siolonce of the slambs is pretty good.

Except for how every male character is either hitting on her or demeaning her because she's a woman. Even a line of male cadets can't jog by without them all checking her out.

>her being female is relevant to the film
>this makes the film ideologically feminist
'no'

I liked Mann's Manhunter much more.

Exactly this.

>watch ace ventura last night because on 90s movie binge and being generally a nostalgiafag
>makes reference to SOTL
>feelsoldman

It's more about workplace microaggressions than it is serial killers.

noice, but thats a tough one, which im not about to make as both are good im sorry but I refuse to compare no im not doing it no fuck you both are good

>isn't pandering or shoehorning in a feminist agenda
She literally walks into an elevator filled with all male coworkers as the camera lingers

>there will never be a Kill Bill/Angelina Jolie Tomb Raider tier female protagonist ever again

"I got three pages into the Clarice character, and I knew I wanted to make a movie out of this," Demme says. "I love women's stories. They're a little harder to find than any other kind of good story, but I love them. Because women are my heroes.

"Don't you think that by and large women display heightened sensitivities?" he says, letting the question hang for just a beat before continuing. "And that they're engaged in an ongoing, endless, top-heavy-against-them struggle to achieve what they want to achieve? I'm pulling for women. I've got enough estrogen in me to identify with women. I don't have any difficulty with that."

just because the film is about gender/sexuality doesn't make it feminist. the men are never demeaned for their natural sexuality.

silence of the braps!

clarice is never portrayed as a victim of "the patriarchy" or the target of male peers who just hate women and want to keep them down. none of the old feminist standbys are present in the film or the character's journey. its gender themes are more sexual and inter-personal than ideological or political

The problem here is that all of you claiming it isn't feminist are using your own extreme definitions of feminism so that you don't have to admit you like a feminist movie.

how is it feminist specifically? because the protagonist is a woman in a typically male profession?

they were transporting him, because he negotiated a transfer, retard

That's the starting point. And it goes on to show that she is every bit as capable of succeeding in her job despite the fact that she is underestimated, dismissed, and condescended to by everyone. She perseveres despite the biases and obstacles that the male-dominated world inflicts upon her. Read the Demme quote above and tell me you don't think he has feminist sensibilities.

>being condescended to is a feminist theme
you are reaching. the demme quote is meaningless fluff. the film is not feminist, it simply has a female main character that is depicted realistically and sensibly

Again, I think this disagreement stems from you/others using some extreme definition of feminism. Can you give me an example of what you consider a feminist movie, preferably a good one - or at least a serious attempt at a good one (i.e. Ghostbusters doesn't count)?
