I enjoy the messiness of real life so that is why "My own Private Idaho" is my inspiration but I am interested to watch the films you listed as ive never seen them.

When I was 15 years old there was one vintage store in our town, called 'Rita Starr'. The owner was a delightfully quirky 20-something who'd stuffed her tiny store with clothing and accessories from the 1910s through the early 1960s. I bought a few pieces including a bias cut slip (30s), some tap pants (30s), a jeweled sweater (50s), and a couple of home-sewn blouses, probably from the 40s. I wore the crap out of those clothes before they mostly slipped away from me. I still own the blouses 60 years later. My dearest friend, Cai, found a sparkly blue one-piece swimsuit with criss-cross straps and a 'modesty' panel shopping there with me one afternoon after school. She looked like a 50s mermaid in that suit, and wore it for years until it, too, fell apart. So, for me instead of being influenced by films, I've been attracted to films that feature fashions of those eras, usually made during those decades. A short list in no particular order they include: Murder on the Nile (the Mia Farrow version), Funny Face, White Christmas, Rear Window, and Valley of the Dolls. On the small screen, and even though the costume designer took huge liberties with the accuracy, I love the costumes in Miss Fisher's Murder Mysteries. Mad Men hits my 60s-loving heart right where it lives, as does the short-lived but fabulous Giget series.

Explain Poor Things please 🥺😭🩷

[@somaudlin]

@marymigdalgrunow8337 i interpreted Poor Things as a commentary on how women are infantilized and objectified without their consent, Yorgos Lanthimos often explores how inherently dangerous and violent is toward children and young people. I get the sense that he writes these stories from a place of lived experience. Despite the f'ed up world Bella finds herself in, she is able to learn, grow, change and thrive. Her entire prostitution arc is a powerful albeit frightening tool for losing her innocence that people exploit throughout the film. Her Madame, both imparting wisdom and abuse, sums it up that the traumatic things she has experienced has made her life rich and steeped in wisdom. As someone who has dealt with trauma in my youth and young adulthood, I found the way Bella navigates and eventually thrives through Neverending hardship at the hands of the patriarchy that spawned her to be incredibly uplifting and beautiful. I often say this film is the only Lanthimos film with a happy ending 😭😭 Anyway sorry for the rant, I just find that labeling it as problematic or "creepy" is missing the point of the message of the film, though anyone's visceral/emotional reaction to the film is totally valid! Yorgos and Emma both had a lot to say through the story!

I just watched the trailer of Poor things, it gives me the feeling of autism made fashionable. Looks fun.
