Is this maybe the most subtly bleak portrayal of humanity I’ve ever seen in a movie. Not sure why so many critics focused on the comedy aspects when there is so much more underneath that
I don’t wanna give it away in the OP though, you owe it to yourself to watch this movie
Such my dick.
>entire movie keeps hammering home the contrast between the rigid structures humans place themselves in and our emotional, evil, animalistic behavior
>sex underlies all power, power underlies all sex
>whole movie focuses on competition for preferential treatment while even the prized Horacio the Duck is just a brainless animal running in circles
>that last shot
>after everything Abigail has done to get to where she is, she’s still a cheap slave and prostitute, performing sexual favors for a broken, sick, stupid baby of a queen
>the rabbits
>unending sex, unending stillbirths, unending deaths, unending sorrow
>is this the nature of biology and humans are never going to escape no matter how fine the palaces we live in are
Don’t read any of that til you see it
Anyways, what did you all think
You take that back
This is all spot on. Terrific movie. There isn't enough confronting morbidity in film.
Based
Bump, I wanna hear some thoughts here fellas
It's far less bleak than his earlier work. No more bleak than Scorsese's typical stuff.
But yeah, it's fantastic.
Scorsese’s stuff focuses on dark things but I don’t think it’s typically as damning of the human spirit as this movie
hopefully no one believes any of this shit
hollywood trying to indoctrinate everyone into nihilistic communists
>bluhh bluhhh but we aren’t actually that bad right?? no way can humans be that bad
Holy shit it’s art, it’s not supposed to make an end-all be-all statement, it’s supposed to give you something to think about for a while
I genuinely believe in a beauty to humanity, that doesn’t mean I can’t appreciate a really dark exploration of it
Schema is the same, backdrop doesn't change it. The power dynamics are always at play, someone fucks someone. Sex and power, agents of the id, trample over super-ego, no matter how strong the reasoning. Humans are weak in this regard, easily manipulated, but then again, one who manipulates, jumps into the same pit of ontological darkness where the innocent resides. Only way to not play the game is to not be invited. Sarah won.
It needed Emma's naked ass to be perfect
It’s a pretty cynical movie. It was pretty great, but I completely disagree with it’s view of the world.
Some of the people I talked to who saw the movie said that the Queen was a strong and powerful feminist that we need to see more of in movies. Were they wrong?
I’m pretty sure your friend was just on autopilot while they watched
The queen is an emotionally stunted, genetically broken child who is manipulated by both her emotions and everyone around her
Nice, I thought that was the director’s intent too but now that I know I’m wrong I’ll give it a rewatch. Thanks user!
Hope you enjoy user!
lol
there’s a scene where she shoves cakes down her throat and has someone hold a bucket for her to puke into to make more room
your friend should give up on film
I refuse to watch it cause the queen is fuck ugly and weisz and stone don't even have sex with each other. The fuck were they thinking
i will never understand you people
just watch some porn and get it out of your system
>the solution for a clearly porn-addicted mind is to watch MORE porn
i will never understand your suggestions user
10/10
Good point. I guess I’m talking harm-reduction, very-first-step type stuff here
If you’re so uncontrollably horny that you can’t watch a movie without hot people fucking, at least get it out of your system to you can sit still and appreciate something
>i will never understand you people
obviously.
>hollywood
It's a UK-Irish-US coproduction filmed in England and directed by a Greek
Fucking kek. That ass grab as she climbs out was glorious. Coleman was fantastic and the movie definitely deserved more wins.
Imagine losing 17 kids, the absolute state of women
Nice to see Zizek getting some cameo roles
where the fuck can i watch this movie?
It’s trash for tryhards. Watch this if you want bleak.
Your friend is a faggot.
>"I like it when she puts her tongue in me"
What did she mean by this?
Emma's so pretty. All froggy and cute.
Pretty clear whatever illness she had was also affecting her ability to have children. Amazing that she made it that far with all the depression.
Im UK and all our media does is to try and be a desperate imitation of whatever hollywood pushes. We are the goodest goys of all.
Sell me on it without giving too much away
What’s the confusion, user
A tormented paramedic in Hell’s Kitchen is in a slump and goes through a quasi-religious experience when working his graveyard shift.
I want to see this without the cut
That’s awesome, man
don’t say that too loud, mom will hear
