>>5687950hehe I generally enjoy all Nicolas Cage performances but I am a bit shallow I just didn't like the actress in MANDY I know her weird face look was part of the aesthetic, but she will always be that evil corporate woman from Tom Cruise Oblivion lol to me "We are not an effective team" hehe
Interestingly the intention from the director of MANDY was for it to be an anti-incel film. I actually missed this message, so it means the film was either super subconsciously effective, or not
https://www.vulture.com/2018/09/lets-talk-about-the-most-harrowing-scene-in-mandy.html>As Mandy emasculates Sand in front of disciples, the scene becomes the embodiment of Margaret Atwood’s thought experiment of asking a male friend what men fear most about women — that they’ll be laughed at — and then asking a room full of women what they fear most about men — that they’ll be killed. >“That was one of the earliest scenes that I wanted to do. I just find there’s nothing funnier and more scary than a delusional man who thinks they’re the center of the universe, and in fact they’re not,” says Cosmatos, who kept the scene mostly unchanged over years of tinkering with the script.
