00:00 - I wondered, what do you feel like male viewers
00:01 can take away from this film?
00:03 - It's a moment of when you watch the film,
00:06 you will hopefully have a moment of reflection.
00:09 You know, I think you can take away a new sense of awareness
00:12 a new sense of, you know, want to change.
00:15 And I think that the film could really re-educate
00:18 a lot of people and especially the younger generation.
00:21 - Yeah, I think, what did you say about awareness then?
00:26 - Yeah, I just think that it's gonna, you know,
00:28 a male viewer could take away a new sense of awareness.
00:30 - A new sense of awareness would be a brilliant way
00:32 to put it, yeah, I definitely agree with that.
00:34 And personally, I think if the characters
00:39 had watched the film, I think things could have been
00:41 prevented that happened in the film, do you know what I mean?
00:43 So I think just in that way, it'd be very powerful.
00:46 - It's amazing it's happening now,
00:48 but I think this has been relevant
00:50 from the start of women, hasn't it really?
00:52 So I just, I think it's amazing that people growing up now
00:57 get to see this as just your average kind of cinema film
01:00 and not some like indie film you've had to sort out
01:04 and like pick apart to find.
01:06 I think it's brilliant that it's just,
01:08 it's gonna be out there for everyone to see.
01:11 And I think to do it in this day and age
01:13 just kind of shows the power of like this next generation
01:16 kind of coming through, like Molly,
01:17 it's like the next generation of filmmakers coming through.
01:19 I think loads of them are just doing sick.
01:22 Yeah, so I think really cool.
01:25 - I think as well in the generation of like TikTok
01:28 and social media, like these stories feel
01:31 even more urgent now because you have it online
01:34 in the same way you have it in life.
01:35 And I think, you know, it's, as young people like
01:39 start to kind of have an online presence even more,
01:43 like films like this can kind of hopefully
01:47 get into those spaces and counter
01:50 the kind of more questionable stuff
01:53 and create those conversations
01:55 that we've been wanting to have.
