One of the dumbest directors ever

As I saw Phelous uploaded his two reviews of the Silent Hill movie he originally uploaded a few years ago, I got to think about something that always pissed me off with the director... that he changed the gender of the parent looking for their daughter, despite it being a specific adaptation of the first game. Here's a quote from TV Tropes (link to article: tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php… If you're curious):

"The director changed the main character's gender because he felt like the main character of the video game was very feminine already because he cared about his daughter enough to look for her."

... yes, you read that right. According to Christophe Gans, it's masculine to not care about your daughter, and not give a shit about looking for her if she goes missing. No no, the "masculine" thing to do is to leave your kid to die.

If Christophe has any kids, I just want to say the following to them - I'm so sorry you got such a horrible dad who thinks it's his "masculine duty" to not care about you as he expects a woman to do. See, if a guy cares about rescuing his daughter, that makes him "feminine". So... if you're not feminine, you're an apathetic sociopath, and that's apparently what it means to be masculine.

Christoph Gans - I hereby proclaim you as one of the dumbest people on this planet.
Oh, and it wasn't a misquote or lost in translation or anything - I saw behind-the-scenes of the Silent Hill movie back when I owned it on DVD, and he actually DID say this bullshit.
