I've been curious how feelings about a movie like Mrs. Doubtfire would evolve over time. Do you mind elaborating on what you find sad and revolting?
Also, have you always felt this way/this strongly about the movie or did your emotions change as there was more public awareness of how marginalized people are in society?
These are sincere questions, I genuinely want to know your thoughts and feelings. Also, totally acceptable answer if you've just always hated the movie or even dislike Robin Williams; I realize my previous questioning has a lot of bias.
To be fair, the premise of the movie is kinda fucked up. He could have disguised as another man and it would still be pretty creepy to think about if done in real life.
A lot of our pre-2015-ish rom-coms and dramas are highly problematic. There are some movies I used to love and quote which now make me cringe when I think back on it. I try not to think about how horrible I was back then and instead focus on being better.
Lord knows I had my moments of thinking women owed me something for my mere interests and efforts. Those memories keep me up at night.
when i was younger i glossed over the situation and focused on the funny. as i got older better understood the circumstances and the more i came to hate this movie. its not really williams thats the problem its the entire premise/script of the manchild fucking over many peoples lives because he himself is just a terrible human being.
