A problematic scene in the popular Netflixmovie “The Kissing Booth” is being calledout for its apparent normalization of one ofthe main character’s violent tendencies.British blogger and comedian Ryan Maxwellexplained the damaging effects of a scene inwhich the two main characters — Elle Evans andNoah Flynn — fight during a beach bonfire .Noah, a “reformed” bad-boy whohas well-documented anger issues,loses his temper and hits another oneof the film’s male characters.This causes an upset Elle to leave, but Noahchases his girlfriend to the parking lot whileshouting, “just get in the car, Elle”.She ignores him and keeps walking,to which the character slams his fist onhis car and repeats his demand louder.Elle freezes in her steps as her face turns white,and then … she complies without further dispute.Of course, nothing negative befallsElle, but in real life, a protagonist suchas herself might not prove so lucky.Maxwell believes the movie’s romanticizationof such controlling, violent behavior sets“an awful example for young girls”
