Boys are treated like drones and pleasure slaves for men

Rating: 1/10 (2 November 2019)

The writer of the movie John Edgerton wrote a scene for himself that had no bearing on the plot of the movie. The troubling scene is during the first night Falstaff arrives to the new king's castle. The scene shows Edgerton enjoying a bath and moaning in pleasure as his foot is massaged by an unseen servant. The young king comes in to speak to Falstaff. When he does the servant nervously jumps away from the bath now standing at attention. It's a young boy. The prince and Edgerton exchange creepy glances as the scene quickly ends.
The next scene we are told Falstaff is a "good man."
In a later scene, boys are brutalized to show how evil a villain is.
Throughout the movie young boys are always treated by the writer and director as props or drones not as human beings.
