Just like those toxic men back in WWII who would give up their rations so some kid in Germany could eat. Yeah, you fuckers really know all about masculinity.Gillette's Ad on Toxic Masculinity Made Men Mad — And That's the ProblemSaw this last night and wasnt really impressed.
It lacked star presence , the actors all looked the same and spoke in grunts which made it hard to understand them at times.
The characters in the original were well defined and their characters fleshed out. I didnt feel that with this one.I only recognised Denzel and he seemed a bit half hearted. Like he knew it wasnt worth much effort.
I love watching Westerns but modern films that are worth watching are few and far between.
The Denzel Washington version was perhaps the worst film I ever seen based only on the fact that the first one had so much texture, character, and (for want of a better term)…charm. “We work for you” still gets me and I often say it at work even though I’m the boss (sort of); I practice something I call servant leadership. I’m often telling the nurses and techs that “I work for you”…”how can I help”. Hardly anyone knows but I got it from TM7
Like I said, one of the more pivotal moments in the original was when they sat down to a feast, but then realized the villagers were going hungry to feed them good so they could fight. When they realized that, they took the food back to the villagers and shared with them. IMHO, that was the point where the villagers realized they were there, not so much for the money, but because they wanted to help.Do I need to present any thing more on why movies today are so fucked up?Gillette recently launched a new advertising campaign that tackles the fraught but buzz-worthy issue of toxic masculinity.
Yeah, you kinda do. WTF does realizing that villagers are going hungry to make sure you are well fed and then deciding to share with them have to do with "toxic masculinity". If anything, that scene showed although they were fighters and hard men, they also had a human side and some compassion. That is anything BUT "toxic masculinity".
If they had realized it, shrugged their shoulders and laughed that they had good fortune without sharing, then THAT would be "toxic masculinity".
