That depends on the person viewing it. It's a PG-13 movie - if you choose to go see it, you may be expecting violence and you probably know who the characters are. But this is A POSTER, visible to everybody, including children, or people who do not care to watch violence, especially against women. For a 6-year-old this is pretty extreme violence. Especially, if the child has experienced domestic violence.
That's all true. I said the poster is violent and I don't know if children should see the poster just because it's violent. But I don't think it's much worse than the Simpsons when Homer chokes his son until his tongue shoots out of his mouth nearly every episode. I watched it and it didn't bother me but I don't know if it's wrong.
My point is that this isn't discriminating against either sex. It isn't saying all men are violent, this is just a violent man who is included in the film and that woman happened to be choked by him towards the end of the film, the poster isn't meant to represent all women or say that the violence is good.
Are you ready for the fire? We are firemen. WE ARE FIREMEN! The heat doesn’t bother us. We live in the heat. We train in the heat. It tells us that we’re ready, we’re at home, we’re where we’re supposed to be. Flames don’t intimidate us. What do we do? We control the flame. We control them. We move the flames where we want to. And then we extinguish them.
Impersonation is treason.
