Seriously, what about all the good men who fight against the scum in the streets, rapists, murderers, thieves? Seems like that doesn't exist in this movie.
The guy who made this is a mangina.
Seriously, *beep* this movie.
And to that white girl Joana Pedroso, *beep* off.

This is a movie based on a true story... so if you perceive it as being anti-male because it portrays these men as the brutal thugs they are, well good for you...it also shows kind men, so why are you upset when it shines a light on the villainous behavior?
shareSince the film is based on a true incident and the gang rape depicted in the film was an abusive, aggravated and prolonged sexual assault, I would say the film is more anti-scumbag than anti-male. These dirtbags, happened to be of the male gender. It was something that got turned into a yahoo, rowdy and raucous event, that one would think it was just a football game being viewed on tv and not a violation and vile deprivation of liberty rights for a defenseless, tiny young woman.
While I don't believe that rape is the worst thing that can happen to somebody and it can get exaggerated and blown all out of proportion, the "cry rape" card can get played by many scheming, lying and manipulating women who are looking for attention, have an agenda and are playing the victim. These claims can let down genuine cases like the one depicted in the film. While Tobias was drunk and flirting and playing little tease games, it got way out of hand, was taken too far and this was due to a bunch of loser males. As a male, I will make no excuses for their behavior and the film did depict a male who was the one that reported it and his testimony was a crucial turning point. As the film stated, did he see something that no-one else noticed or bothered to do anything about?

Please don't ever stalk me again, especially when you are feeling horny, it makes me sick to my stomach.

You sound pretty defensive. Maybe you aren't one of the "good men" you describe, because I don't know any anti-rape men who would feel so threatened by an anti-rape movie.

Maybe your last name isn't Gosling (a French Norman name). You're too arrogant to be French. You're more Nordic, like a "Friends" fan. Only a Nord could be so arrogant like this.
shareWhere in hell is this movie anti-male? It is a movie, and movies are concentrating usually on the main person in the film. And even the females are not shown flawless. Jodie Foster plays White Trash, if she would have been a nun, this movie had not happened. The situation that the rapist had a chance was because back then you were already guilty "when you dressed like whore". And also Kelly McGillis is not the super lawyer, who finds all the backdoors to get the rapists charged for 500 years, no, she prefers career over victim and made the deal without mentioning rape. Still these two are our main persons of the movie and thats why we see most of the time their perspective.
The movie would be anti-male, if even the good males would be massive assholes. Like Kelly finds out about Kens story, discuss it with him and he says: "screw you, i am not a snitch to my frat bro!" Or even worse, he openly lie in the court and tanks the case in favor of the spectators.
The movie is imo very realistisc, as everyone has their own agenda and it is also good presented why it is like that. Ken is afraid to be a snitch, but his concious is more important. The barkeeper is more important, that his bar does not get bad news and protects his patrons. The barkeeper lady is afraid in general and also believes that it was partly Jodis fault (the average person at the time) and the lawyers are all about money and career, not the people they represent.
