Once you see this movie, you can't unsee what it clearly demonstrates.
Brainwashed is a giant step in bringing awareness to the subtle and not-so-subtle ways women are treated as second class citizens through cinematic process and technique. Brainwashed shows how consistent camera angles, lighting, and other shot design elements are applied exclusively to women, such that women are almost exclusively presented as objects of other's (men's mostly) desires rather than as their own subjects in the characters they portray.
This below awareness process inculcates patriarchal codes! "If the camera is predatory, then the culture is predatory."
This is a meta-level awareness game changer of a film! Must see!
