Typical damsel in distress movie, not refreshing

Rating: 1/10 (5 February 2019)

Why do movies have to repeat the same script over and over again? There are so many other things they could write about. James McAvoy's character and his multiple personalities are done really well. The main girl character is also very talented. However as usual it's about 3 young girls being abducted with the threat of rape constantly on the cards and not surprisingly the female protagonist's character is made "interesting" because of a child abuse backstory. Same old same old yawn yawn. Having the same rhetoric surrounding us in films, the media and porn over and over again makes us start to believe that women are weak and that it's normal to sexually abuse or hurt women and that it's normal to sexualise adolescent girls. Why not abduct 2 boys and a girl? The narrative could still be the same. Why not have the person with DID being female? But also why so much predator behaviour in films anyway. I only watched this because I am interested in the psychological disorder. I would have been more entertained by watching a non predatory DID person's journey.
