That pride is everything.Īs a very wise woman once said “when men stop needing to be aggressive in order to be excepted into society, women will stop feeling the need to be submissive… men, gender equality is your issue too” - Emma Watson. A character often says “be a man” when trying to silence the voice, as if that’s the only values they have ever been taught.

All things men are thought they must be in order to be a man and excepted into society. I also noticed that the only way to silence your thoughts from being heard by others is to not be weak, train your brain, no emotion, act a certain way, be aggressive.

Also when you think about how men’s thoughts are aloud and women’s are not, it could be a representation of how woman are often silenced. It’s showing a select group of men, who I believe are meant to represent the ‘Misogyny’ in society. It could be very easily seen as ‘toxic feminism’ because “it’s making all men seem bad” when actually that isn’t the case, their is plenty of good men in this. I personally believe this is done intentionally to connect you to the main character and put you in the exact same position she is in, confused.Īnother thing is the message throughout. Some critics say you can’t tell the difference between thoughts and the character speaking, you can, just not as much to begin with. I thought the movie was brilliant, I loved it so much.

There's also a lot of strong language, much of it in the men's heard/projected thoughts, particularly variations on the word 's-t.' Todd frequently thinks about how pretty Viola is and imagines kissing her more than once. Two animals are killed: One is shot out of mercy, while the other is murdered in anger. An armed man makes menacing overtures toward a woman that seem like a prelude to sexual violence. Characters are shot, threatened, injured, and even set on fire. While it has themes of communication, teamwork, and perseverance, violence and peril drive the story: The men of Prentisstown are armed, dangerous, and ready to kill. The human women were all killed by the planet's native inhabitants, so when a young woman named Viola ( Daisy Ridley) is the only person to survive a scouting ship's crash landing, her presence wreaks havoc on Prentisstown and endangers her and Todd. Spider-Man's Tom Holland stars as Todd, a teen living in Prentisstown, an all-male colony on a planet where a disease/phenomenon known as the Noise caused all of men's thoughts to be heard or projected. Parents need to know that Chaos Walking is based on Patrick Ness' 2008 young adult dystopian/sci-fi novel The Knife of Never Letting Go.
