  • I watch it so you don't have to. The 355 has the dubious honour of being the first major flop of the year, and after seeing it, I can understand why. Join me as I break down the disaster that is The 355.

      Working from the inside, this is correct. If you apply for any kind of funding for the arts or community projects you have an actual tick box segment for diversity and inclusion and the form tells you that you must have a majority of them fulfilled to qualify. Besides this, your proposal also has to explain why it's good, not for the sake of it being a good and well written masterpiece or anything, but why it's good for fighting racism, sexism, trans/ homophobia and make minorities look equal to the "stereotypes" of previous movies/ games/ theatre project. Bare in mind that these stereotypes exist because they're relatable and successful, so by default, changing everything about those is a guaranteed flop of a project as the form is quite literally telling you to be as unrelatable and un-stereotypical as possible.

    I grew up with 3 brothers and it frustrates me to no end to see these tiny gals beating the mess outta these huge guys when I know full well all they have to do is just grab her and push her down.
    It bothers me; women would have to be highly trained and SMART fighters (with a little luck sprinkled in) to win hand-to-hand against a men like that, and the men would need to be dumb, clumsy, and have zero fighting experience.

It all went wrong when nothing worked for her, because I was simply stronger. And I'm just ordinary - I don't do any special exercises or the like. 'You're making me look bad' she said.

      Agreed! It's frustrating to no end. When I was growing up with my brother he used to practice WWF wrestling moves on me... I was power bombed, suplexed, boston crabbed (that one actually is pretty painful) and at one time we thought he might've fractured my knee when he did the Ken Shamrock ankle lock. I loved every minute of it because I got to spend time with my big brother and I could take a bump pretty well... but I'm under no illusion that if I trained really hard I could beat his arse. Men are stronger it's that simple... we will never be truly equal so let's stop trying. Instead let's get creative and actually do something interesting!

      It also benefits from being a film by stunt men and fight choreographers. Most of the same team that was behind John Wick. They went out of their way to make the fights believable. Which is why Charlize doesn’t just manhandle giant men. She dodges, uses guns, and when she’s forced to go hand to hand, she utilizes her environment and fights dirty. That movie doesn’t get enough credit.

      @@harrystyles7466 I don't normally watch this kinda stuff, but this channel seems to be the most popular of its ilk so I thought I'd give it a look after I saw all those advertisements for the 355 awhile back. Drinker makes a lot of good points. He doesn't just talk out of his ass repeating the same schtick over and over like some other would-be independent reviewers do. So I gotta give credit to this channel. It's solid content and there's genuine charisma here. I can see why he is successful.
      Moving on to your comment: What exactly qualifies a movie as feminist? Any movie with female protagonist(s)? That doesn't seem discerning enough. A movie can be about mostly women or even only women and not be feminist, surely. Then again what exactly feminist means seems to vary wildly depending on who you ask.
      Little Women qualifies? Seriously? I would have just called it a slice of life/drama. What exactly happens in that movie (or even the book that inspired it for that matter) that is feminist? I don't recall any political talking points.
      Captain Marvel was a part of a series of movies all contributing to a greater story. All of those movies succeeded. Marvel is a wildly popular brand. To say Captain Marvel succeeded entirely on its own merits... well that just wouldn't be true. Some people were gonna see that movie no matter what. The Marvel fanbase is simply that big.
      Never seen Promising Young Woman or Ocean's Eight so I'll take your word for it.
      I dunno if tons of movies is accurate? A handful is not a ton. Especially when many of those films are popular for reasons not necessarily related to their tenuous relationship with feminism. Whatever that word means to you specifically.
      Having a look around at reviews, it really does look like a lot of movies (and television shows) pushing for diversity and representation have a higher chance to fail. Is that a bad or good thing? What does it mean if it's true? I don't know. I'm interested in seeing what other people are saying though. Which is why I'm here.
      I wondered if 355 was actually popular because it was heavily advertised. Seems like all that money spent advertising was wasted because it turns out a lot of people seem to hate it. Like, a lot of people. A whole lot. Yikes.

    One of my problems with these movies is that the women are practically immune to damage. They dish out a lot of hurt, but rarely will a director have the guts to give some back in return. That’s probably a lot of the reason why they don’t feel very convincing. Daniel Craig had his arse kicked in during his time as Bond and he was almost always bloodied up on screen, save for the times when he got cleaned up, only to then go get dirtied and bloodied up again. There’s no real sense of tension or danger in the chick action movies, we know they’re just going to gracefully and flawlessly kick everyone’s ass, so what’s the point?

    My problem with this recent trend of "empowered" female characters is that they actually accomplish the exact opposite of what they set out to do, i.e. destroy roles and opportunities for female actors. By "gender swapping" an existing male franchise, they're simply presenting male roles but in a different gender, i.e. it's all about the masculine protagonist, whether he's being depicted in male or female gender. All traces of feminine traits are meticulously scrubbed out of the picture. Hollywood doesn't seem to understand that although men and women are equal, they are NOT the same! Each sex has its own attributes, its own strengths and its own weaknesses. Writing female characters that play men sends the clear message to young girls that they have to be masculine in order to lead and succeed in life. What a boring world, full of just masculine individuals! Way to go Hollywood!

I don’t mind female warriors as long as they are having super powers anyway (fiction) or are naturally very tall and Bulky (Gina Carano made a decent female warrior). I agree that it’s often too forced tho.
      But we shouldn’t play SJWs and get mad whenever a female character isn’t porttayed like we want her to. Same goes for men.
      A female character can be more feminine or more masculine, in both cases it’s possible to write her well. Sadly most male characters are also written poorly.
      But also some movies are intended to be over the top and comedic, funny. Like Kick Ass. It’s not supposed to be realistic and the audience knows it.

Jam thumbs in eyes, karate chop the carotid artery, punch the adam's apple, knee to the groin, punch/kick to the liver, etc. Do any of those with full strength, and even a woman can submit a man. The problem is when women in movies get into fights with men that involve BRUTE STRENGTH and they ALWAYS win (without doing any of the above). That is completely unrealistic! Very few women can overpower a man of equal height and weight. Yet movies will have you believe women can easily fight off professional bodyguards or soldiers 50 pounds heavier than them. It's really silly and it always takes me right out of the movie.

      What makes this extra dumb is that its already set up to be a good fight. We generally like to see heros overcoming stacked odds to win. "Man, this guy looks like he can kick the shit out of our heroine! How is she going to win? Is she going to run? Fight dirty? Fight smart? Is she gonna . . . oh, she just kicked him once and won. . . Yay?"
      A better for a story for this kind of movie would be the Strong Female Character(s) taking down big bad guy at the end of act 2, only to realize that said bad guy's Female subordinate/second in command was the real threat and escaped to continue her dastardly plan elsewhere. The heroine's male bosses think this is ridiculous and dismisses the threat, requiring said female character to "go rouge" or whatever, setting up the 3rd act confrontation where it turns out that she was right.
      You get a story about not underestimating women, both as allies and adversaries, which is a lot better of a story than the typical "Smash the patriarchy/Men are Evil".

      And she was believable because she used training, cunning, and skill to overcome her enemies. She didn't just brute force her way through hordes of stunt men who outweighed her by 100+ pounds.

      And we actually learned why Beatrix Kiddo / The Bride becomes a badaas in the first place in Kill Bill vol 2, even though she's a highly skill fighter, she struggled to fight Pai Mei because she has no experience at Kung Fu. Also, she got hurt a lot when training with Pai Mei but she didn't give up and keep going. She has become my role model to be a badaas female character.

      As a Tarantino hater, I have to say, that even I liked this movie. It is girl beats boys movie, but it does it in such a surrealistic and stylish way, that I enjoy it every time.

      It's beyond believable for a Woman to beat up a Man of her own size and relative fitness. Thrashing several Men double her size is absolute absurdity and completely unwatchable.
      Why don't they ever have them beating up on other Women? Is it because Women aren't seen as a genuine physical threat? What does that say about the sheer stupidity of these fight scenes.

    I've been to numerous martial arts dojos over the years. The top students were never women. Yet every movie these days is hell bent on making us believe 100lb women are as tough as men twice their size.

      Your comment reminds me, there's a genre of "spicy" video that features men vs. women in wrestling. It looks like authentic grappling (at least the first part of the match.) Even when they're in the same weight class the men are much stronger. And you can guess what the objective of the match is, it isn't "pinning" your opponent.

    Excellent! Thank YOU for watching this so we don't have to. What a waste of time. Great review, though. I eagerly await what you have to say about Moonfall. To me it looks like a diverse female version of Armageddon, but it might be worth watching. You have never failed us, so we'll stand by to see if the word is given. All good wishes!

    Never seen this movie. Came here expecting some spoilers. Realized that I knew the entire plot from the trailers already. No spoilers here. It was spoiled the moment it was conceived.
