Thatâs a really awesome thing they did and I respect it a lot.
I donât think that changes the quality of the movie though, right? Unless you mean like, âThey wouldnât have done that if the movie hadnât been made, so itâs a good movie by merit of having enabled the cheering up of one specific group of dying childrenâ? Because I suppose you could make that argument, but I donât know if many folks would agree with âthe butterfly effectâ as a metric for movie quality.
It's a case of being tone-deaf, along with clearly sexist characters, how much of a bimbo did they make the male lead? Yeah, not as progressive as you want to pretend.
Iâm agreeing with you that the problem wasnât women. Also Hemsworthâs character was incessantly annoying, Iâve literally never heard someone praise that performance.
Agreed, I liked the girls roles they had a spark between them and good characters, but it doesn't stop the fact people would call the film problematic if it was a woman on Chris's role. It did have glaring sexist issues.
Having them improv in like every scene really did âem dirty.
