Malayalam movie Hitler with Mammootty in the lead was a sensational hit. Something related to this movie is getting discussed on social media right now. It’s not the story or the comedy of the movie that has become a topic of discussion but a Facebook post that exposes misogyny in the movie. This was posted on a group named ‘Movie Street’ by a FB user Malavika Radhakrishnan.
The post criticizes the mentality in the society that wants a woman to respond hastily after getting raped or abused. Or else it’s not a rape, but an act with the consent of the victim. This is the reason for the intolerance towards #metoo allegations, the post says. The post also points out the lack of empathy and cruel opinions in society towards abuses.
The post ends with a harsh criticism towards the character Hitler Madhavan Kutty in the movie ‘Hitler’ who married his sister to the character played by actor Soman who raped her before.
