You watched the movie!
! Although I am not the original poster of the REL, I do wanna say thank you for writing the review and I am genuinely excited you enjoyed it. And I thank you for sharing your opinions! Honestly, I don't see how they could be much in the of offensive, but enough about that! I know I have to get into a better habit of watching what it shared here as well! (I still have to tell popdrome how I enjoyed
Das brandneue Testament).
Some of my thoughts. Tatiana indeed played a powerful character but was also charming in a way. And her mother was definitely a strong character and was well played. Even in the myths, the mother figures were sometimes outspoken during matters such as those presented in this film, as you'd obviously expect. As for the men in the story, I completely understand your feelings and I think, for a part, the story wants us to feel so strongly about them. However that sometimes leads characters such as these to be a bit one-sided, such as the villain archetype sometimes is. I hate seeing the antagonists without good motivation and being just characters that you're supposed to hate just because they're foaming-at-the-mouth evil!
Fortunately I don't feel like they made the men here quite so arbitrarily distasteful. I guess they had work that just had to get done and gods to please.
But you put it well. This is definitely more of a heavy drama (not that the usual OT films can't be dramas!).
