What does it really mean to be a "good man" in today's world? In a time when toxic masculinity is rightly being challenged, many are left questioning where strength ends and control begins, or where chivalry turns into outdated performance. How do the ways we were raised, and the movies we watched, shape our understanding of masculinity? Is there still room for values like honour, loyalty, and protection, or have they been overshadowed by the need to reject harmful gender norms?
Let's have a special Watch & Talk session as we revisit Scent of a Woman, a powerful and emotionally complex film that earned Al Pacino an Oscar and continues to spark conversation decades later. Hosted by Leon, a psychologist and passionate film lover, we’ll watch select scenes and discuss the blurred lines between toxic masculinity and noble masculinity. Through the story of a blind, embittered veteran and a young student on the edge of a moral decision, we’ll examine how ideas of manhood, dignity, and mentorship play out—and what they mean today.
Let’s sit back with good friends in comfy chairs and watch scenes from a groundbreaking film that changed the way we look at movies, and at life. And, of course, let's have a deep, fun, and intelligent discussion about our mutual cinematic journey!
