masculine crisis

I assume you know about the connections among crises of masculinity and fascism. And how would your fiancee "classify" herself? Nice of you to speak for her.
What's funny is that I don't disapprove of the men's actions. Domestication of both males and females is necessary for the continuance of the state--what's fascinating to me about the film is just how "moral" the film is in driving the men to the same conclusion. They need to become good citizens by becoming fathers and husbands. Yawn.
So it's better to see the women in this film as "victims?" How ennobling.
Funny, I'm blinded by hatred, and a bitter, woman (sic.)
Amazing that a little film review will engender such vitriol when the catastrophes around the world engender yawns. Panem et circenses, I guess.

George W. had one of the greatest resources in foreign relations and political experience in the world -- his old man! What if he didn't have this hubris of 'I am going to do it on my own'? If he had listened to his old man in terms of what to do after 9/11 and everything, he wouldn't have been in the mess he is in right now, and the country would not be in the mess it is right now.
