And while Joe is disgusted by all of this and seems to be a reasonable man by and large, he still wants to make a movie, and he does everything to get what he has hoped for ...<p> <p>Sure, in writing <b>Fluid Boy</b> sounds like a very blunt piece of misogyny, showing stuff to appeal to the basest instincts of a hardened male horror audience - and that's not getting the point of the film at all: Sure, the male characters of the movie have misogynist traits, but they're also cold-blooded killers and (especially Maximilian) all-out assholes, so hardly someone to identify with. And what's really interesting about <b>Fluid Boy</b> is not seeing a girl manhandled and being shat on in the first place, but the interaction of the characters, their perverted powerplay, and of course the suspense as to what will happen and when - and in that respect, the film works very well, in pushing things onwards and giving the audience scarcely a moment to breath. That said, the movie is definitely not for everyone, there are self-consciously offensive and mean bits in there, that might turn off some audience members - but they miss a pretty cool flick!<p>  </td> </tr> <tr> <td width="592" valign="top">  <SCRIPT LANGUAGE="JavaScript"> currentyear = "2015"; </SCRIPT> <SCRIPT language="JavaScript" src="../scripts/endcredits.js"></SCRIPT> <SCRIPT LANGUAGE="JavaScript"> dosworsdonn(); </SCRIPT> </td> </tr> </table> </div> </body>
