The ferocity of mothers: “The Brave One” offers nonstop women & guns


Talk about women who are ferocious 24/7, that’s what Jodie Foster’s latest movie sounds like.  I can promise you I won’t be seeing it (mostly a time thing, but I also am not into violence in movies – I still can’t watch the end of Braveheart).

Shockingly, Michelle Malkin has yet to post about the movie. Given her attention to actresses, motherhood and all, it must be an oversight. Or her motherhood demands haven’t given her time either – I totally get that.

The NYT reviews the film here. My favorite line:

That it [the movie] may also be viscerally satisfying is a sign of just how cowardly “The Brave One” really is. It’s a pro-lynching movie that even liberals can love.

But, you know, it is just a movie.  Like Sally Field is just an actress.
