What about this is meant to be entertaining?


It's not like a horror movie or something where it's scary or she's a real danger to the kids (at least, not at the halfway mark where I made it to). It's just watching some bitch treat kids really *beep* We're supposed to find it what? Funny? Exciting? To see kids being mistreated, and that's all there is to the story so far?

Why am I supposed to want to see this?

It's not like I'm over-sensitive. If someone treated adults this badly I wouldn't find it entertaining either, but the scenario wouldn't make sense because adults can just fight back or leave. But seeing kids placed under the authority of someone who abuses them isn't entertaining. It just isn't.

You literally didn't finish the movie so I have no idea why you're stating things like "or she's a real danger to the kids"

Because your just objectively wrong. Literally your entire post is wrong. It's fine if you didn't like the movie and didn't bother to finish it, but why then go and post on it's forums objectively false information?

That's the typical attitude of someone who watches stereotypical Hollywood movies--and probably should STICK to watching stereotypical Hollywood movies. Movies are allowed to be disturbing, sad, depressing, and genuinely scary (as opposed to being a series of "jump scares"). Good films can appeal to a whole myriad of emotions. even if people raised strictly on feel-good Hollywood movies don't consider them "entertaining".
