Women are human beings not slaves.

It's sad that men would seek (mostly uneducated and poor) women from overseas mainly because they can't handle women of their own social class calling them on their b.s. and privilege. I fell sympathy for men like that and the women who feel the financial need to go along with such an arrangement. This is not the fault of feminists, but tragic and archaic social institutions of inequality. Most women who label themselves as feminists would be better off dying alone/happy than being with such men

I saw this not too long ago and it was great. I have the remake on DVD and it is just as good.

@FunKCX It's a thriller because the Ira Levin novel, upon which it was based, was a thriller. There was some dark, insinuating humor in the book, but it was by no means broadly comedic. Director Frank Oz and screenwriter Paul Rudnick took a huge tonal liberty w/ the original source material.

@rulerofthebog Good for you, don't let anyone of these feminists bully you into their mode of thinking and behaving. It's because fo those, that American men are seeking overseas brides! I would like to see them all marry foreigners, then the moaning feminists can go to hell, they've brought it all on themselves!

the stepford mens association is a metaphor for the freemasons in real life

@redeye007 Part of that, I feel, is because they lost the point when they cast a good looking man as the husband. The point of the story is that, even though the men themselves aren't keeping up their appearance, they want their women to look Playboy Perfect. Modern movies aren't as brave as they were in the 70s. Unless it's a guy like Sean Connery or Patrick Stewart, you'll never see a bald man cast as the husband of an attractive woman in a movie.

@sp00kyb00ts Actually, my comments had little to nothing to do with the actual movie itself, but rather with the snide/insulting remarks some people were making about stay-at-home moms; I was merely trying to make a point about feminism not being exclusive to working and/or childfree women. The fact that people were attacking being a SAHM just really struck a nerve - I never meant to insinuate that the SAHM lifestyle is for everyone, just that the choice itself is not a backlash to feminism.

@rulerofthebog This movie isn't about looking down on your lifestyle. This movie is about a time when women didn't have the choices that you do. People forget how hugely different things were just 20 or 30 years ago. Those women grew up in a time when they couldn't rent their own apartment or have their own credit card. Women from that generation are ALWAYS telling me to have children. Nobody's telling you to abort.

I've seen the remake of this! I liked the remake, I hope I like the original!
