I’m pissed, darling.

No matter who you are, you must be aware of this new film Don’t Worry Darling directed by Olivia Wilde. Unfortunately, it’s not because of the film itself but because of all the insane drama that has surrounded it since this year’s Venice Film Festival. Some words might ring a bell: Aperol, Miss Flo, #spitgate??

Harry Styles was right. Don’t Worry Darling really felt like a movie. In fact, I realized it was a real film movie when I was at the cinema watching it. I have to admit that I liked it. I’ve been confused by the negative reviews. It may not be for everyone, but I think, it definitely deserved better. My theory is that some film critics were influenced by the drama that surrounded the film. Or is it misogyny as some claim?

One thing I absolutely loved about this film movie is that it made me angry. Once incel Harry Styles Jack was revealed, I became pissed. Incel Jack made me especially angry because he reminded me of some of the ridiculous men I used to argue with on Twitter. The kind of men who think they know best what a woman needs; any woman, even though these men have nothing going on for themselves. Jack is like that. Alice had what was hers, and he had nothing outside being an internet chatroom moderator. Somehow he felt like he knew what was best for her and that he had the authority to make life-altering decisions for her. We see this happen in many societies around the world where mostly men, and even other women, feel like they can make big decisions for women. We rarely see cases of boys and men being forced into marriage, yet the opposite is very prevalent. This is just like the film itself in which it was mostly the men that brought women into the Victory Project. Who knows who those men were to them: husbands? boyfriends? friends? stalkers? abusers? It’s simply too scary to think about, but unfortunately versions of the Victory Project are a reality to too many, and that makes me pissed.

One thing most of us can agree on is Florence Pugh’s acting. Give her an Oscar. Wow. I only ever saw her in Black Widow so I never paid attention, plus I was distracted while watching that. I’ll be watching her future projects from now on, because I am a fan of that talent. To think that Harry Styles was the best male actor to star alongside her is truly insane. Someone needs to investigate what went on with the casting. I am simply not convinced that he was the best one available. The audience laughed whenever he did his big acting with “emotions” and a raised voice. I am begging Harry Styles to focus on his music.

Don’t Worry Darling shows just how far some men are willing to go to control women. There are men who long to experience a reality where women are submissive, or actually forced to be. Sadly, we don’t even need a film movie to show us this since sexists are quite popular online.
