>I wonder how all the Lanark shills of yesteryear feel about this one being adapted
Despite the film gutting basically everything interesting about PT (film's still fun in its own right) it was obviously better suited for adaptation than Lanark.
I can see why they couldn't put the imperialism into the movie for PT and still sell it to the same audience, but you could definitely do Lanark for the same audience. I mean dragon skin from repressing your feels shit would sell itself
if you liked this movie as a man you need to go to your doctor and get checked for low testosterone
The movie dumbs down the entirety of the book and in turn perverts its entire feminist message into a critique of the ideology.
Poor Things the book is about a woman who uses every means at her disposal to live a free life, and becomes a doctor because it lets her contribute to humanity. Poor Things the movie is about a child becoming a roastie as she goes around the world, fricks everybody she sees, decides to settle down, and becomes a mad scientist with no ethics or morals.
""People""" who think the movie is for low T men are guaranteed to have sub-100 IQ.
I think the movie made a good choice. The editor is clear in his position, and they gave that, minus everything too Scottish or commie. It's a joke the reader is on, but not every viewer got the memo. It is hilarious watching it get praised as a feminist movie though. A lot of those who are praising it as such pride themselves on making their way to the book after any adaptation, so it's only a matter of time. The movie makes good choices to keep the pomo of it all.
>I think the movie made a good choice
I definitely think it made the movie far more intriguing and engrossing. I read the book right after the movie, but I think what kept me reading it was the way it differed from the movie. The book got rather preachy at times, which doesn't adapt too well. >It is hilarious watching it get praised as a feminist movie though
To be fair, the people who think it's a feminist movie are the real life versions of Bella Baxter, complete with the lobotomy.

The reaction really surprised me because I fully expected the movie to get brigaded for child sexuality, even it wasn't as explicit as in the book within the book. Adapting the book within the book was a really great choice, but it folds the timeline even shorter, so i really thought it would not get the current reaction. I think if they left in the socialist education or the motherly love bits, it hints too much towards the letter. Better to make it pure sex fantasy, and drop everything that makes anyone more developed from the book within the book. If you put yourself in the shoes of Grey the character and editor selling it to a production company, you're going to drop a lot of stuff from the lost manuscript to make your point about the crazy lady trying to keep scientific genius down in your pitch.
I have not watched the movie so I don’t know if it’s a good comparison but looking up the summary it reminds me of the sci-go trope “Born Sexy Yesterday.”
whether by accident or on purpose, almost all Oscar movies may be enjoyed independent of where you stand on the political quadrant on which you find yourself. Poor Things, Barbie, Oppenheimer...

Holy midwit normie.
There was a good takedown of this flick recently in National Review (not by that one guy who doesn't care about the ladies anyway), to the effect that bawds whoring around around doing whatever they want all the time isn't great art, now matter how much you dress it up. I actually watched most of the last Oscars because I was visiting at home (mom watches regularly) and her acceptance speech was particularly emotional, even for Best Actress where they play it up. She really felt vindicated for teaching all the wrong lessons to young women, and the system rewarded her for doing her job.
Wtf were you even typing? I didn't call you ESL because the french anons put two Ts in it when they're mistranslating. Calm down and finish your sentence bro

I watched a movie in the theatre in 2023 where they were trying to convince me this was a hottie.
love interest of the lead (handsome fella), kept referring to her when she wasn’t on screen as “you mean that hot chick from English class?” kind of thing.
it’s so tiring.
not gonna mention the movie name. the board is soiled enough.
The movie had great art design and wild costumes, but yeah the overall plot fricking sucked. Its basically Frankenhooker but the main b***h quips about society in between getting railed.
Yorgos' other films are far better. The Lobster is a better romance film, Killing of a Sacred Deer is a better drama and my favorite of his.
What's interesting about Poor Things is at the end we discover Bella's mother was a cruel person who bullied her servants, but Bella herself is just as cruel. The only difference is Bella's cruelty comes from her ignorance, whereas her mother knew she was being cruel. Neither woman cared at all about anyone's feelings. If Bella wasnt acting out of self defence from that comically evil husband the ending would be horrifying.

Ways sci fi/fantasy can legalise e-girl is half all 20th Century literature and culture anon, you're not winning this one with internet memes
there isn't actually any movie like that, that's just your brain rotting from being terminally online
I have naturally high T, lift regularly, and loved this movie.

wacht more films homie
yacht more botes homie
Not an insult but probaby modern feminist books written by women. Doubtful you'll find any good recs here
The film reminded me of Paul Auster's Mr. Vertigo. It's a coming-of-age story about an orphaned boy who learns to levitate in 1920s or 1930s America
her face triggers me
Good luck finding the original woodcut looking cover

when the suave Black appeared I thought Lanthimos was going to black her lmao but he didn't
Heart of a Dog by Mikhail Bulgakov
Good call, I should re-read it
is this movie something other than award bait? doubt.
Yes, it's a postmodernist filter of the kind we haven't seen since Van Gogh was doing footwear.

I really enjoyed the humour and steampunk world of the film. Everything else was subversive trash, gaslighting you to find her attractive.
