KB Somebody asked me if I think this film is about violence towards women. What about the hour and 15 minutes of violence towards men that preceded that? It's not some woman being chained up and brutalized for eight hours. It's these two people who've been brought to the brink of desperation going at each other.
I didn't feel feminism was addressed in the film and I don't think it needs to be addressed in the film. She's certainly her own person. She's done what she's done in her life. She has her own backbone about things and she's very opinionated: she knows what she likes and what she doesn't like, and she knows what she'll take from people and what she won't take. She seems pretty well integrated on all that kind of stuff.
MO Except for this little killing thing.
KB Yes, this little killing thing. That rage. But that, as far as Annie's concerned, comes from a very correct place. From her point of view, she's doing the right thing. She's putting people out of their misery. She's an angel of good will, actually. No one sees themselves as a horrible person. When you do, then everything falls apart, you can't face anything. She sees herself as a real avenging angel.
