Shame on you, Mr. DePalma, for you constructed a whole feature film around a single scene so violently misogynistic that the rest of your movie will forever take a background role.

This may have ruined the movie for the 2-5% of the human species who persist in asserting that Intersectionalist Theory makes perfect sense, despite most of it being unintelligible, and who are also staunch proponents of trigger warnings on our university campuses. Everyone else enjoys BD for the neo noir masterpiece that it is.

That's a false dichotomy.

The number of guys who were psychologically scarred by this(or any other movie)is vanishingly small

What do you mean by that?

Walking away from this flick thinking "Guys are going to be damaged by seeing this movie" is a stance held only by the vanishingly small portion of the male population that's gorged themselves on the nonsensical scribblings of Dworkin, hooks, Mike Kimmel, and the like, and pretending to themselves "That makes perfect sense"

Thanks for that!

And as for the rest of your post, that's definitely your opinion--"The film in question is one of De Palma's lesser works" would probably be a more popular opinion, with all that sludge about Holly Body and the Vertigo rip considered.

Great

When I saw this movie, it reminded me of Alfred Hitchcock's movies "Rear Window (1954)" and "Vertigo (1958)", so I already knew what the plot would be like.

The violent death was shocking, and when I saw the murder weapon I thought: 'Has the killer from the slasher movie "The Slumber Party Massacre (1982)" returned?'

Right -- I wasn't quite sure whether to classify the plot line as an "homage" or a "rip." Haha.
