A Feminist Farce?
Daisies is the first film we have screened by a female director that focuses on women protagonists. Yet this film is far from an easy film to interpret. Do you see a feminist "message" in the film? Or is this film lampooning such a message? Is this film highlighting and ridiculing sexist views of women? What about the fact that the women protagonists are hardly the paragons of virtue? Please enlighten us.

I feel like how the two main characters were presented are the epitome oof the fears that some men may have about feminism. The women are off the walls crazy and I think that anarchal lifestyle highlights many men's fears about feminists. Clearly its a method of ridicule directed towards anyone ignorant enought to believe that women would typically act in that fashion. It's mocking the idea that many may hold; that feminists act like the women in the film.
