Time and again, the crime-drama genre has been used to highlight how evil men are and how they’ve turned the world into a hellscape for women. David Fincher has practically dedicated a major chunk of his life to trying to tell people that America, and practically any country that decides to emulate America, has become unlivable for women because there are too many psychopaths running around everywhere. Films like Memories of a Murder, Talvar, and Silence of the Lambs showed that the justice system is weirdly biased towards men, and even though these representatives of justice don’t have any personal relations with the perpetrator, they always try to give them the benefit of the doubt just so that they can play down the trauma inflicted upon a woman. And Killers of the Flower Moon highlighted the fact that if misogyny is mixed with racism, then its repercussions can be felt throughout generations.
