Like a message of how men just reppress those emotions and results in anger against women, explaining misogyny (or whatever). I felt that a good theme of the movie was how men deal with painful emotions by just abusing women and taking advantage in the more emotional female to let them charge with all the guilt in a given situation of shared guilt (like in this case).

I defy I'm not a film person and generally can't sit through them but this one is the exception. I'm not a film person and generally can't sit through them but this one is the exception.
