okay it is actually really interesting how they show older women upholding the structures that support toxic masculinity/patriarchal society

i guess it makes sense because traditionally mothers-in-law occupy a really interesting space in the hierarchy and have quite a bit of power over their daughters-in-law, while I guess the older men in the family slowly lose power to their inheriting son

#ooku: the inner chambers #but the story of slowly forcing a major social change and getting people to believe it was “always this way” is very well done #i'm worried the last lady shogun is going to go “hmm men should be back in charge”#ideal ending would be her deciding to stop using patriarchal forms of ruling and be a woman ruler #instead of a woman following male forms #we'll see #io watches movies #asian media
