I hated The Godfather. I don’t think I’ve seen any piece of media that hates women more than it. It felt disgusting to watch.
It’s also too slow and boring, even watching sped up.
That checks out considering how much the “auteur” behind it still abuses women regularly and was a sex predator creep on the set of “Megalopolis.”
It’s a treat I didn’t dare criticize out loud for a long time because of the decades-established “this is a masterpiece” social norm protecting it, but yes I always found The Godfather to be misogynistic hog slop for slop hogs. “It doesn’t condone the characters or what they do!” yeah yeah I think Coppola does, actually.
Well among other things one feeemale side character is “played with” by pterodactyls until she’s battered to death and the subtext is “lol silly female trying to be like Chris Pratt” and that goes extra for the “lol high heels, silly female” that’s mansplained to until she’s domesticated by the end and becomes a subservient waifu.
Luckily I hate Chris Pratt’s smarmy “white boy who can do no wrong (while assaulting everyone around him)” vibes so I just refuse to watch anything with him in it.
Huh. Now that I put it together it’s probably some trigger. Well, back into the dirt goes that realization, I don’t have time to introspect about everything

The Michael Mann directed movie Heat maybe?
The Chris Pratt Jurassic World movies had some pretty heavy misogyny subtext, too.
Wasn’t aware of this and am now morbidly curious.

That’s the best take.
