I think the misogyny claims come from people who assume these characters are meant to represent all men and women. -- nm - Dano Oct 6, 06:36 7
- why would anybody ever do that about anything? people and characters are individuals. -- nm - Diva Oct 6, 06:46 6
  - movies would be insanely boring if every character was supposed to be representative of *everyone*. -- nm - Andie Oct 6, 06:47 5
    - Agreed, but I do think there's allegory in Gone Girl for how all of us act in relationships, though. -- nm - Inigo Oct 6, 06:57 3
      - it raises the question of how well do we really know each other, yes - among other things. - Diva Oct 6, 07:25 2
        
        I think some people expand the movie to think it is making a statement on men and women in general (spoilers) - Dano Oct 6, 07:31 1

Given the B Cinemascore, I wonder how many others feel like pixie does. -- nm -- nm - Inigo Oct 6, 06:01 1
- Oh, it was always going to be divisive. It is not a fuzzy film. -- nm - David Oct 6, 06:07
but what grade did Max give it? -- nm - Epiphany Oct 6, 05:53 1
- As near as I can tell, he gave it a time traveler's A. -- nm - David Oct 6, 05:57
