Why is he wearing socks in a field?!

He's an inscrutable madman. Killing shmos left and right, walking through a field in socks, its all the same to him.

How so? Maybe if it's there gratuitously, but if the man is a womanizer and that's what the movie is about, it's pretty fitting. Hell, even if he's not, how is showing two people possibly having sex sexist? I think the ones where it's a random shot of a girls legs and rear end in the foreground despite what the movie is actually about are the sexist ones.

Perhaps because its depicting women as holes/legs for men to emotionlessly use? The way the man is staring into the camera doesn't make it look like he's very engaged with the woman he's "loving".

That's the entire point though. It's not condone the imagery just because it uses it.

It kind of is though. Theres no hint on the poster that the man isn't going to be the morally good protagonist of the film. The woman doesn't even have an identity, shes just a pair of legs. We'll have to see the movie to be sure but I would definitely call this sexist advertising.
