What Parents Need to Know
About Seven Brides for Seven Brothers
Parents need to know that some critics have complained that the movie all but promotes rape, but that is unfair. Ultimately it is very much the girls' own decision to stay and marry. Milly wants to be seen as a partner who has opinions and value, not a servant without wages. The girls want to be asked, not kidnapped.

Families Can Talk About
- Families can talk about how the barn raising dance number helps to tell the story. Milly and Adam get married very quickly without talking about what they want. How does that create problems? How does Milly show how important family is to her? Why is it hard for Adam to realize how important Milly is to him? How does Milly show how important family is to her?

Respect and Love
This movie has nothing to do with rape and it certainly has nothing to do with slavery. Millie stands up for herself quite well, but all the problems were caused by lack of communication between Adam and Millie. Adam was also ignorant in that he is an honest-to-goodness mountain man that knows nothing of manners or how to treat women, so his new and equally ignorant wife tells him how to do it. All of the Pontipee brothers are shown how to treat ladies with respect and though they capture their girls in a disrespectful way, they treat them with respect and woo them in a proper way once spring comes and they can spend chaperoned time together. See the movie and you'll love it!

Rapists
The entire film is an allegory for how women pretend not to love rape, but deep down, they love it. It hides behind a few weak pseudo feminist speeches by Millie, the head slave, but perpetuates exactly what it criticises. Everything else about the film is irrelevant.
