Why do feminist films always have to be so immature? It's like watching a movie made by a child, everything is so black and white. As if being a woman automatically made you completely good and right, and being a man meant you were a dim-witted idiot or a savage rapist with no regards at all towards women or even human life.
Who in their right minds would think that the three women from the movie proved they were right to kill that man simply because they broke into hysteric, cold laughter at the end. You could even interpret this movie as being in favor of killing men. I think the feminist movement goes too far sometimes. If it were three men who killed a women and then laughed about it, the movie would have been considered sick and nihilistic, but because they are women somehow they have a right to commit murder.
Such scenes as when a man drives by and asks one of the three women how much she charges are simply ridiculous. And then the woman has the lack of decency to accept the man's money and have sex with him, before laughing in his face in a superior fashion. What does this mean? Does Marleen Gorris actually think she proved a point? Or that scene were the woman lawyer walks down the street, trying to understand why the women killed that man in the store, and bumps into a man who, out of nowhere, yells "Watch where you're going, you c**t!" I mean, how convenient is that? Right when she's thinking of why men deserve to die, some guy just walks into the movie with a sexist insult. I was amazed that Marleen Gorris thought she could get away with something so insulting to our collective intelligence, and I was even more stunned when I heard she did, and that A Question of Silence began for her a career that would eventually win her an Oscar for Antonia's Line.
The movie doesn't even try to justify itself, or to present the subject from a male's point of view; therefore, it is pretentious and self-condescending, and the only people I can think of who could enjoy it are feminists who believe so hard in their cause they won't admit how narrow-minded this movie or themselves are. I'm not insecure or misogynistic at all, but as a man, I was offended that a movie so idiotic could not only be allowed to be produced, but could be considered intelligent and become successful. It certainly doesn't honor the feminist cause or show women in a favorable light.
