An interesting aspect in the movie (spoiler a little) is that the premise of the move from Minnesota to SF is because the dad got a new job. They touch on it a little in the movie that it is startup related (from what I remember - not necessarily a Silicon Valley startup but a new venture of sorts) and he is spending a lot of time on it. To the point where some of the girls memories in the past include all three of them and her newer memories have events with only just mom because dad is working.
Is this a stereotype of sexism or is this more accurate to real life?
Another item in the movie is that both parents were big into ice hockey, which does sort of break the stereotype about women don't do sports because they are fragile or whatever type of BS (after watching women's world cup games I think they play tougher than men's in some way - less extent of the fake-injury crap).
Trailers are meant to tease people into wanting to see the movie. If you reviewed trailers for a bunch of movies I'm sure you will see a lot of stereotypes in play. What was it in the Inside Out trailer that set off this remark?
- dufusmoo 11y agoNeither of those examples for me, are sexist. They're accurate examples of what happens in life. The trailer shows the dad, not listening to his wife, acting dumb, daydreaming about sports, and then clumsily asserting the law with his daughter. I just thought it was lazy and not well done at all. Maybe I'm being hypersensitive about it. It was a total turn off to bother seeing the movie though. From the sounds of it though from reviews, it doesn't sound like a movie I'd enjoy though. It sounds like a movie created for adult movie critics rather than for enjoyment.
- matt_s 11y agoThat part with the dad not listening is a very small part of the movie. My guess is they included it in the trailer to show some funny part that appeals to moms. This exact scenario does happen in real life so I don't see that as sexist. I get where you're coming from though. A lot of sitcoms have a theme around big stupid oaf of a man being the plot line.
