What did he mean by this? Are women incapable?
>deconstructing the ethical expectations of men who seek to control her
And how exactly is she doing that by agreeing to be sexually controlled by strangers in exchange for money?
Women really hated the movie and found it disgusting. This was one of the worst examples of trying to pander to feminists and failing at, even sucker punch had more feminist defenders than this movie.
if you think this is what pandering to feminism looks like you need to watch more movies that pander to feminism.
This is a movie with feminist themes, but it places other things in the foreground of that. Comedy is given equal amount of importance as the feminist themes are.
That's why its a good movie, specifically because it isn't just a vapid circlejerk.
Isn't that most of us until we bypass internal traumas or childhood programming? Some people are 60 yo and still living as their childhood self. The movie uses this for a metaphor of women rationalization anyways. >female sexual immaturity and her struggle to understand man's desire of dominance and sexual ownership
Simple as frien
Try rewatching some of Nolans films a few times... maybe they'll start making sense for you anon...
I thought it was pretty vapid no lie
Just seemed very smug and self-satisfied. Anybody with that baby's brain could have guessed the life the girl killed herself to get away from probably involved an evil fancy husband man who was evil and liked to be evil (he's evil btw). And then she saved the day & lived in a heckin socialist utopia, yippeeeee!
I'm just saying that the ending was not surprising, or really changed the context of the rest of the movie at all. Anyone could guess, based off the tone of the movie, that her old life was probably some sob story about the patriarchy, her being evil or not. And that's exactly what it was, but we had to all sit and watch it for another 20 minutes anyway. The movie was already done by that point, but old Yorgos wanted her to confront the patriarchy final boss to make sure we got the message
You guys gotta pick an opinion and stick by it, have at least a modicum of consistency when it comes to this stuff because all of you are complaining about old and ugly women in media and how fricking a girl below the age of 25 is something that is seen as pedophilia. You guys are constantly b***hing about this, people are right now complaining that the girl in Fallout didn't get nude but the man did.
So which is it, is hollywood conservative when it comes to how they portray women in media or are they pedophiles that are trying to push sexy babies on you? You can't have them both, they're literally opposites.
It was a weird movie, all of Lanthimos' other movies are really emotionally detached and have this very dry, emotionally restrained tone. While Poor Things was really goofy and whimsical. Feeling more like something from Wes Anderson, with some of Terry Gilliams quirky worldbuilding. I liked it fine, but I think if Lanthimos made more movies like it, I'd get really tired of it really soon.

uh that's not very marxist of her
why are you on reddit you homosexual
He's probably looking for wieners to suck

after losing their virginity, it becomes extremely difficult
after maybe 3-4 guys TOPS, yes
this is the only genuinely witty reddit post I've ever seen
Redditors need more media literacy, they never get the satirical elements and ignore the fact that the prostitutehouse lady was using Bella
Was Stone wearing a merkin in that specific scene?
I think so, you never see her pussy, only fake hair. The movie used great practical effects to hide everything
It's a decent merkin if that's the case. I thought it was just her own bush but nicely trimmed.
I dunno, but it still looked convincing and gave me a massive boner upon viewing it.

This whole film was just blatantly disguised pedophilia since it was a baby in its mother's body.

I was wondering how long it would take for this to be posted (again)
>deconstructing the ethical expectations of men who seek to control her

moron that's not the point of the post. It's a shaggy dog post whose whole point is its last sentence: a dad joke.

Maybe they are horrified by a mirror?
>Maybe they are horrified by a mirror?
That would imply they're sexy like Stone, which they aren't.

Just admit you're a child predator, schlomo.
>brings up pedophilia out of nowhere
how much e-girlcon do you have saved on your hdd?
isn't her character a child's brain in an adult body?
Isn't this movie a work of fiction you projecting mongoloid?

A abnormally quickly maturing childs brain in an adults bodies. She pretty much speedruns childhood and adolescence.

But they reveal she was evil too, which is part of why she rejects that life, she isn't his wife, his wife was equally cruel.
>his wife was equally cruel.
Is that why she killed herself?

Why is Hollywood so obsessed with baby brain in adult body doing a heckin sex?

How would you feel if you wife was showing her vegana in 8k for the entire world to see?

LMAO Descartes was a devout Catholic. He'd never advocate whorish behavior.
Pretty sure the only reason for it being descartes is his tabula rosa idea, nothing more
leave it to a redditor to think descartes was a "modernist" philosopher

What are you on about? It makes no difference whether you work with your pussy or your hands, you're still working and selling your work.
in effect prostitutes are no different from landlords who inherit their properties
