And what if I said that squid game is a romance and not a thriller?

hey so this new heated rivalry episode ruined me
Was flipping through the art book for gears 5 and...
There are full on statues of Anya Stroud (and of course paintings like the one we see in the cutscenes in Jinn's office) in the main government building which makes sense because she was the founder of the new gov't.
But that's gotta be weird for Marcus and JD...and probably played a role in Marcus not wanting to ever be in the cities as he'd literally have to look at reminders of his wife all the time. And JD looking at his dead mom.
And now they have to be in that building all the time because its now the main military base. and a reminder of how far the new rulers fell from what Anya was trying to do.
(Not to mention the rest of old Delta seeing their dead friend)
DEAD POETS SOCIETY ISN'T ABOUT POETRY
a wee review, feel free to fight me in replies ;)
General thoughts
role models and teachers
to me, this movie isnt really about poetry, but rather about the impact that adults can have on young people. the last scene of the movie perfectly illustrates this point. the movie could have ended in a way that celebrated the power of literature, but instead, it highlights the impact of mr keating. the main themes of this film - coming of age, family, friendship, love, can all be illustrated by substituting a poetry teacher, with say, a tennis coach. (yes ik this is controversial - literally fight me đ)
2. poetry, art and masculinity
that being said âŹď¸, i do think that the choice to go with poetry is still meaningful, especially with the all-male cast and private boys school setting.
im sorry to contradict the tiktok edits but i think the only reason why people see the film as homoerotic is because of their misguided concepts about poetry and masculinity. these guys are huddled together reading poetry and sharing their love for literature - that HAS to be GAY, right? WRONG. i think the movie actually tries to push back against this stereotype by just how STRAIGHT the characters are.
im still split as to whether there is homoerotic subtext (spanking, phallic imagery, male school/student relationship) - although i do think there is some evidence, I donât want to mistake bias ^ mentioned above
anyways, although i love my doomed yaoi, these tiktokers dismissing this film as JUST yaoi really subtracts from everything else itâs saying
3. villain city! (cameron & mr perry)
I LOVE how well done the âvillainsâ are in this - you canât help but feel sympathy for cameron because most of us are camerons!! most of us wouldnât have the guts to do what todd did, to refuse authority outright and to not save ourselves when we can. even though heâs a little bitch, hes also all of us. mr perry is also so complex - heâs actually such an asian parent in so many ways (doctor trope) but every time after neil coalesces to his requests he says something ALMOST comforting and soft (eg you know how important this is to your mother) even if it is the typical manipulation. youd best believe that if neil was asian heâd be in james ruse taking physics and latin.
Critiques
i really, really donât like the way this movie handles women
a common thread in this movieâs portrayal of female characters is that NONE OF THEM HAVE ANY AGENCY. all the female characters are simply reacting to the environments around them (or the will of the male characters) and are extremely one dimensional. not to mention that NO FEMALE POETS are mentioned, ever.
a) Mrs Perry (neilâs mum)
she is perhaps the MOST complex female character in the film, and thatâs saying a lot. sheâs the typical âenablerâ in a lot of abusive parent relationships - she obviously loves Neil and is extremely upset at letting him go to boarding school (even crying in bed about it) yet does NOTHING to challenge Mr Perryâs judgement. yes, this could just be a part of her character, but this lack of agency and submission to the will of male characters reoccurs throughout the film.
b) chris
Chris is everything about how NOT to write a female character. Sheâs literally introduced as Chetâs girlfriend, and other than being pretty, she literally does nothing. like mrs Perry, she only reacts to the actions of the male characters. for instance, she only invites Knox to the party when he calls her, she literally only hangs out with him after he BEGS her several times. maybe the only time we see her exercise free will is when she visits Knox when itâs snowing, but even that is FOR A MAN.
she has NO LIFE or hobbies or interests (some might say cheerleading, and even though thatâs a valid hobby i have the feeling that the filmmakers probably intended for that to fit into the âpretty, unattainable girlâ trope). chris literally exists for the purpose of being Knoxâs love interest, and thus sheâs not really a âpersonâ in the eyes of the filmmakers.
d) gloria and tina
im lowk confused by these characters bc everywhere online says that theyâre âcharlieâs friendsâ but i literally thought they were hookers? they looked like literal adults but ok.
anyways, the whole âdead poets societyâ is SUCH a âboys clubâ - they literally sit around smoking pipes. when women are introduced, theyâre not portrayed as intelligent human beings, but rather as conquests to be wooed. i understand that the whole âwooing womenâ thing is a part of the whole boyhood/adolescence thing but couldnât they have wooed an intelligent woman with agency??
2. neilâs suicide and mental health
I really donât think this is a good depiction of suicide or mental illness. even the most talented artists (if theyâre mentally well) donât shoot themselves if they canât pursue their art, especially at seventeen. plenty of people who burn with passion for art do not kill themselves at seventeen because their parents donât let them pursue it. i think, realistically, for neil to have committed suicide, a better set up of his depression or struggle with mental illness should have been depicted for a more accurate depiction.
this movie is essentially saying to young people that killing yourself is the only thing you can do if your parents donât let you be an artist, which is NOT TRUE. i understand neilâs passion and desperation, but i think the film should have offered a more hopeful solution to young artists with the same passion and struggles as neil.
Overall (the least important part of this post lmao)
ok I REALLY LIKED THIS - I love poetry and literature and Iâve also had similar experiences with very impactful teachers. I think itâs an incredibly beautiful film that addresses important topics with such realism and compassion. some of the characters are really amazing, i really related to some of them and recognise some of the people i know in them. that being said, i think a film cannot be truly GREAT if it completely ignores the experience of an ENTIRE SEX, literally 1/2 of the people who make up the world. i get that itâs ABOUT masculinity, but having 0 3 dimensional female characters is just lazy and bad writing (sorry ily dead poets society). i also think that itâs not a great portrayal of mental illness and suicide, which is important considering the films audience (prob artistically engaged young people). THAT BEING SAID, itâs still such an emotional, resonant story and something that I will watch again :)
