Chevalier (2015)
This film's amazing and original insight and revelation: Men are competitive
10 April 2020
OK, if you feel the need to search for toxic masculinity, even where there is none, and wish to do it with the most tedious film imaginable, watch Chevalier.

Geneticists have found with th study of our genome, that in the last 1000,000 years or so (and probably also the last few million years as great apes and hominids), 80% of females have reproduced and about 35% of males have.

So here we have a female directed and co-written critique of male competition, when all the evidence is that females, for millions of years, have been favoring and selecting the competitive males.

And is that bad? One has to wonder if the maker of this film did or did not select the most competitive and accomplished cinematographers they could find within the budget, sound people, actors, etc. It is very likely the director and writers were at last in the top half of comparative people in their schooling and careers.

Nwsflash: Th scene were they compete for the biggest fish is hardly a cultural or modern "problem" or a problem at all. In fact they guy who brought home the biggest fish was competed for himself by women in a group going back to the invention of fishing
