I just watched this video where Liza Soberano spoke about her realization of how her almost a decade old blockbuster movie, "My Ex and Whys," apparently had an underlying misogynistic take. There are a lot of people hating on her for this, and I’m guessing it comes from the usual interpretation that she has no “utang na loob” to the opportunities that made her a star here. Culturally understandable. But personally, I think she does not deserve the bashing just for sharing her realizations. Think about it. She mentioned that she only actually came to realize the film was misogynistic because this guy, Bernard, shared his analysis of it with her. I just had to point out the gender because it was literally a man that opened her mind to this! Why did she or anyone else, especially the female population/general audience, not think of it this way before? Wala ba talagang nakaisip pa niyan dati? Hindi ako naniniwala na yung guy yung pinakaunang nakaisip nito. Maybe a lot of people actually noticed it, but they just didn’t want to voice it out because it’s an unpopular opinion, baka ma-cancel, or wala lang silang paki. Entertaining naman kasi talaga yung movie. Di bale na kung ano yung message na maiparating, noh? I’m somehow guilty of this too. (May time nga sunod-sunod na AI-generated series pinanood ko kahit sobrang red flag na ng character, go pa rin ako for the entertainment). 😅 Kung ano-ano na pinagsasabi ko. But at the end of the day, it's just a reminder that we can still appreciate and enjoy entertainment while thinking critically about the underlying messages it sends. #LizaSoberano #mysogyny
