@Litprof3 I didn't find the movie terrible, but it a lot of the scenes seemed to go on for a little too long.

[Emma S @EmmaS4747]

@Litprof3 The last scene was really sad.

[Emma S @EmmaS4747]

@Litprof3 Well that was a plot twist.

[Emma S @EmmaS4747]

@Litprof3 The questions in this film remind me of a four year old who won't stop asking you the most random stuff.

[Emma S @EmmaS4747]

@Litprof3 Madeleine telling the reporter that she "hardly wears makeup" is absolute cap. We saw her touching up her makeup at least 100 times.

[Emma S @EmmaS4747]

@Litprof3 If I see one more woman being interrogated in a bathroom for twenty minutes I'm gonna scream.

[Emma S @EmmaS4747]

@Litprof3 Judging by the way she eats an apple by ripping off pieces of skin and eating it, that character must be a serial killer.

[Emma S @EmmaS4747]

@Litprof3 When Paul said "It wasn't the film we wanted to live." it reminded me of our class' discussion regarding film being an escape from reality and how people can look up to certain characters in films because that's how they want to live their life.

[Emma S @EmmaS4747]

@Litprof3 Why is everyone touching Madelein at the dinner table at a public restaurant? It's weird.

[Emma S @EmmaS4747]

@Litprof3 What the heck is the point of asking her if she knows where there are wars going on right now? It's so random and just seems like a way to make her feel stupid.

[Emma S @EmmaS4747]

@Litprof3 This film once again challenges gender norms of the time by showing a woman talking about wanting to be independent for as long as possible instead of wanting to become a housewife with children.

[Emma S @EmmaS4747]

@Litprof3 Finally a woman in this film says "All of these questions. They're awful. I don't want to answer you."

[Emma S @EmmaS4747]

@Litprof3 I don't know what these young people do for a living but they're all dressed like they just came off of a runway

[Emma S @EmmaS4747]

@Litprof3 I find it ironic that the women are discussing sexuality in the bathroom wearing bras and no shirt. Their dialogue coneys that they have their own needs regardless of what men think, but the way the scene is filmed somehow still feels like they are being objectified.

[Emma S @EmmaS4747]

@Litprof3 This movie somewhat resists gender norms, at least of this time, by showing women discussing what they find important in terms of sexuality and by having a man say he doesn't think people can live alone instead of a woman saying that as if she needed to be saved.

[Emma S @EmmaS4747]

@Litprof3 I love how Madelein just smiles and laughs as Paul interrogates her for what feels like an hour. I fee l like most women would get annoyed and leave.

[Emma S @EmmaS4747]

@Litprof3 when Paul asked Madelein if she was afraid he'd come on too strong on their date after he'd already been coming on way too strong for 20 minutes...

[Emma S @EmmaS4747]

@Litprof3 Madelein's constant need to comb her hair and fix her makeup reveals her need to fit society's beauty standard of the time. She is already pretty, but feels like she has to constantly "fix" her face.

[Emma S @EmmaS4747]

@Litprof3 If anyone today told someone they liked their "hair, eyes, nose, mouth, hands" it definitely might come across a little obsessive and creepy.

[Emma S @EmmaS4747]

@Litprof3 I feel like the way the camera lingers on Madeleine for so long in multiple scenes is a mechanism used to convey the male gaze and how the audience is entranced by her.
