When will we have an opportunity to change history? I suspect that Lily Gladstone has “primed the pump.” It will happen. She is a talented actress and her name is one to be reckoned with. I applaud Lily and I look forward to her next role.
Im here for all of this except i do think poor things is a feminist film, but im really interested in your take that it’s “swiftian” because i dont know the reference! I didnt think Bella Baxter was objectified, i thought she was embodied and empowered. There were problematic elements to the film (the first bit is weeeeeird), but overall, the film made me feel incredibly liberated and powerful. Idk maybe this was a Hwhite hwoman experience to have? Identity politics is also very confounding to me. But I defo think Gladstone gave an incredible performance, and this was a great read!
valid! Watching the movie evoked Jonathan Swift's poem, "A Beautiful Young Nymph Going to Bed." there were some tonal differences of course, but the idea of dismantling and rebuilding a woman, who has been compartmentalized as an object, is there. but im also an English major and annoying so there's that
also an annoying english major. yeah the idea of a woman built by men is very Pygmalion/My Fair Lady, I'm with you on that. In the end though, she becomes her own woman, liberating herself from those dudes. Although it's uncanny just how many men were involved in her creation, from Ramy and Willem to the author of the book, screenplay and of course Jorgo.
