[quote=@Dynamo Frokane] Which core themes are you referring to? [/quote] Based on memory, the most blaring and obvious theme of the movie is revenge. Absurdity, Justice - [i]albeit extremely negative as with most, if not all of Tarantino's films[/i] - Brutality, selfishness, and if you really dig for it, [i]possibly [/i]independence. But considering that the main character has been independent from the starting line, and there isn't any focus there, I don't think it garners attention or acts as an defining theme. But I haven't seen the movies in a long time, so yeah. [@Fabricant451] That's the thing, I would be hard pressed to think up many movies that I've watched and [i]remembered[/i] that have strong feminist themes. One movie that comes to mind is [b]Her (2013)[/b] where the female protagonist is quite literally an [i]object[/i] that exists for the purpose to serve the main character. The way that the movie portrays their developing relationship is a much better example of feminist themes being placed front and center. [hider=spoiler]It all comes down to these AI's, the objects of the story, becoming independent after a stream of scenarios that ultimately push them away from humanity. In this example, the analogue for [i]women[/i] is Samantha as an AI, or AI as a whole. But even here, it's hard to argue that feminist themes are the primary focus of the movie.[/hider] Although I haven't watched it, Ex-Machina, from the [i]sound of it,[/i] sounds like a much better example considering the context of its plot. The more I think about it, the less important feminist themes in media really are, honestly.
