I had a very hard time relating to, and understanding that film, and had to watch it over and over again to understand why the men handled it they way they did.
Do actors need to be of the same gender for you to associate with? This to me seems quite limiting.

There are stories being told that apply to me and affect me when I differ greatly from the character. For example, I am not Jewish but I could easily relate to the characters (regardless of gender) in Schindler's List. While I have never been, and Goddess forbid, never shall be in a situation like what they endured, I could none-the-less be engrossed in their story and empathize with them.
