Naru has a specific role within her tribe as a healer and a gatherer...but that role doesn't seem to have much to do with her gender. See, she wants to be a hunter and everybody's telling her maybe she should stick to healing and gathering plants instead, but not a single person saying that to her is even implying that it's because she's a woman. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; font-size: large; text-align: left;"> </div></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; font-weight: normal; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhj-wAf5YAT7kKPsgLhODUfMviho_kpXGT_j4_zlinSIclHODGlZZbA8tnNflW6qVBXICk9wlvO9g17g3oBC_XBQ2NrhybqkWrfzDfKWb2n78D8mV-MAyQS0ZRkLjQGl1dkAeRE7uBIQuOP_cvAWvP61kcI4DAoiEDRZG7nEtpf0FxZ0T8U8bAnfSfa/s440/prey-2.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="248" data-original-width="440" height="245" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhj-wAf5YAT7kKPsgLhODUfMviho_kpXGT_j4_zlinSIclHODGlZZbA8tnNflW6qVBXICk9wlvO9g17g3oBC_XBQ2NrhybqkWrfzDfKWb2n78D8mV-MAyQS0ZRkLjQGl1dkAeRE7uBIQuOP_cvAWvP61kcI4DAoiEDRZG7nEtpf0FxZ0T8U8bAnfSfa/w435-h245/prey-2.jpg" width="435" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; font-size: large; font-weight: normal; text-align: left;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; font-size: large; font-weight: normal; text-align: left;">It's interesting because I think that there are people out there who will watch this movie and still interpret her brother and mother's discouragement of her wants as gendered...but it's not.

I really liked that bit of complexity in her station within the tribe. Her peers find her to be annoying and, dare I say, weaksauce when it comes to hunting. But it's not entirely misplaced. She's not a good hunter and in a world where your skill level could be a major liability to your party, that's not something you play around with. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; font-size: large; font-weight: normal; text-align: left;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; font-size: large; font-weight: normal; text-align: left;">Don't get me wrong.

Your friends are going to say things, your family is going to say things and they might be right or wrong about your new guy. Your instincts, however, have a 98 percent rate of being correct and will more than likely always be right. Listen to them.<br /><br />At a couple of points in the movie, Noa gets some pretty loud warning signals. For instance, on the way out of town, she realizes that her phone has lost connection. The same thing happens when she's at his house. When she asks for his wifi, he ignores her and gives her a roofie laced drink.</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEirzQVoD_geuyvGD6Y0h6w55LZkCh5PhUveAwFXunVJnHF023OMcTx0NBmCYX-JqMuoz9aeW313b2R30SZ4T1wbsmyPKBjLAL4RN_RkIxUbydCRt6Qdh7N6QO8LJXZKtx8XewaEyB3VS7TKK--TsVJw5LanyiX6SqpG7LV-c1xy9JJBlYwq9mXbJRb9=s200" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="200" data-original-width="200" height="337" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEirzQVoD_geuyvGD6Y0h6w55LZkCh5PhUveAwFXunVJnHF023OMcTx0NBmCYX-JqMuoz9aeW313b2R30SZ4T1wbsmyPKBjLAL4RN_RkIxUbydCRt6Qdh7N6QO8LJXZKtx8XewaEyB3VS7TKK--TsVJw5LanyiX6SqpG7LV-c1xy9JJBlYwq9mXbJRb9=w337-h337" width="337" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: medium;">Watching this, I got the willies.
