A good movie

To be honest, I wasn’t really sure what to expect from this flick but since it was a critical success, I thought I might as well check it out. Well, even though it is considered as a dark comedy (it is actually rather difficult to pinpoint the genre of this movie which is a good thing), I thought it was above all really nauseating to watch. Maybe it was due to the fact that I saw only a couple of months ago ‘Luckiest Girl Alive’ which was already dealing with a similar story but in a completely different way. Above all, it was a huge reminder how f*cked up men have been treating women pretty much every since the dawn of time and I can’t imagine how a guy could watch this movie without feeling any amount of guilt or disgust, no matter how many pop-songs they might throw into the mix. Even if it was probably not the original goal, I think that it was also a good reminder that, even though many Americans might argue otherwise, College is actually not so great after all. Indeed, the so-called amazing College life seems to be a lot about getting drunk out of your mind, resulting in young girls being raped by young boys and young boys rapping young girls. Coming back on the movie itself, I think it was a mistake that the only guy Cassandra would accept to go on a date with would be someone who went to the exact same school around the exact same time period as she did. As a result, even though they mentioned a whole bunch of people who went to school with them (the thing that actually triggered her to start with her vengeance plan), they never discussed or even mentioned this tragedy which didn’t make much sense. As a result, even though it was definitely shocking that Ryan was actually involved, when you think about it, it was not surprising after all and you might wonder why Cassandra should have expected otherwise. Still, there is no doubt that Carey Mulligan was really good and she probably delivered her career-best performance here. Anyway, to conclude, even though I had a rather hard time to watch this flick, I still think it is worth a look because this subject is really important.
