The Handmaid's Tale (1990): Ofwarren gives birth in front of an audience

[@gellisbarber1786]

Costume department: Can we have a budget for costumes? Producers: The best we can do is this gift card to JCPenney.

[@AmethystEyes]

Notice how the Wife is holding her head down so that she doesn’t see the baby? So cruel.

[@Canuckchick32]

Cruel indeed...😭

[@canadianmormarchist]

Well that’s one way of looking at it

[@505douglasfahrenholz7]

You have a good eye.

[@Reticence9zen924]

There's women around the world desperate for money who are surrogates who aren't allowed to hold the baby after birth so they don't bond with it - this was on a show about surrogacy in Georgia.

[@isobelbauch9842]

She’s treated like a broodmare, forced to give birth in public and not allowed to see the life she carried.

[@c.c.m98]

The movie is way too colorful for the history they are telling

[@horrorfanandy4647]

That’s rather the point I think. To the characters in the story, this has become normal to them. One might argue then that a mundane and realistic colour scheme (more along the lines of the TV series perhaps?) would be more appropriate, but I find it perversely fitting regardless. Either way on a technical level, it looks interesting.

[@Whitechai]

Definately not what I was imagining when i read the book. I imagined something more uptight, more uneasy. The house being more fancy and silver and the rooms being bigger.

I noticed how the wife didn't actually pretend to give birth along with the handmaid like they did the TV series... that part was so cringe to me lmao

[@LordofFullmetal]

That's the point. It's supposed to be cringe.

[@Faridenunez]

is that how it is in the book?

[@brittneyscriven6106]

It is also part of how cults indoctrinate people. They use extreme emotional acts to change the chemical balance in your brain to link you into their beliefs.

[@mangersavoir4213]

These people like colour codes don't they?

[@DrCuriensapprentice]

Wives are blue as in the Virgin Mary, Aunts wear brown for authority, Marthas wear dull green for their lowly status as domestic servants, Handmaids wear red to symbolise fertility and blood and the Econowives wear dresses that are Blue, Green and Red striped to symbolise they are the Wives, Marthas and Handmaids simultaneously to their Husbands

[@mangersavoir4213]

[@rromero7849]

This sort of thing depersonalizes people that's why

[@DrCuriensapprentice]

@@rromero7849 yes, when there’s no dress code you can’t tell where someone is in the hierarchy but when the uniforms are on it’s takes away some humanity.

All serious discussion aside, these costumes are pretty cool though. Especially the soldiers with their hats and arm bands.

where is the fucking blood and water and screams ... this is a fairy tale

[@YourInnerLawyer]

Movies kinda are...

[@calanthiarose]

This was the nineties, they didn't go near that stuff much then.

[@thackerybinx2637]

Blood, yea probably should be there. Screams, no. Birthing shouldn’t be painful, just intense. It’s only “painful” because of the culture we have promoting fear around it. Even a first time mommy (if healthy) can give birth with little to no help and be calm and relaxed the whole time (calm doesn’t mean quiet)

[@pisces2569]

During 0:33 I’m pretty sure that was a pregnant body double based off the skin tone

[@calanthiarose]

So I know that Gilead only follows the Old Testament but I do believe GOD was fairly plain when he said "Do not covet"....hmm. It's just unfathomable to me how some people can justify anything they choose to so long as it gets them what they want. Wow!

[@liorasitelman1856]

Infertility sucks but it doesn’t mean you get to just take someone else’s baby. People who use surrogates or have private infant adoptions are often very entitled

[@racheldurno-allen9330]

Why isn't she allowed to see the baby

[@erglis7]

Because the baby is not hers. She gave birth to it. Basicly dystopian universe where only some wemen can give birth. They are the ones in red. They give birth for the wemen who cannot and have their babies taken away. So to not get atached they are not alowed to see the children.

[@graciethebelle]

The wife doesn't want to risk her getting any attachment to it, or at least more than she already would have.

[@MissyZilla]

It’s not “her” baby.

[@shimmer4771]

The baby will be given away in a fake illegal adoption and she doesn't want her to get attachment or bonding.

[@sabrinaladyswallowtail]

They don’t think of her as a mother, she’s just the vessel that is bringing a baby to the Commander and his Wife. In their world, the baby now belongs to them, and the Handmaid isn’t supposed to have any kind of a bond with it.

[@krystalharwood6359]

they're copying her! cruel

[@lukasmiller486]

They're supposed to see her give birth, so they know how to breathe and move when their time comes.

[@FranSanTeeth90]

The rhythm helps the mom stay focused

[@karenlacey4549]

In the books, it was one of the few rituals for the handmaid that built solidarity and community. Another handmaid supports the handmaid during and after the baby's birth. They are there to breathe with her during labor and care and console her after her child is taken. There must have been many unpleasant incidents that made this ritual necessary, you notice the laboring mother, is encircled by the other handmaid she can't go anywhere because she is surrounded.

Đây có phải phim không

[@MJ-kr9zb]

Yes it’s called Handmaids tale

[@DrCuriensapprentice]

Yes it’s the 1990 movie adaptation to Antwood’s novel The Handmaid’s tale. Around the early 21st century fertility across the planet drops severely, amidst the societal chaos that ensues, most of the USA is taken over by a Christian extremist group called The Sons of Jacob, they found the Rupublic of Gilead in the majority of the USA (except Alaska and Hawaii), imagine a Christian Saudi Arabia, Non-Christians, LGBT+, Casual sex, adultery, Alcohol, Smoking, drugs, etc are all banned. Women have no rights and are subjected to a class system. The Wives (blue) are the Wives of Commanders, the Aunts (Brown) are the law enforcement for women, Marthas (green) are domestic servants, Handmaids (Red) are breeding vessels for the commanders and Econowives (Blue, Green and Red) are the wives of ordinary men and do the roles of Wives, Marthas and Handmaids for their Husbands.

@@nightingale0177 an inconvenience? Pregnancy is just a mere inconvenience? And you say I’m ignoring science? Pregnancy is dangerous and has long term effects and women even have trauma from it. It’s more than a fucking inconvenience. Cruel and unusual punishment is forcing women and little girls to carry unwanted pregnancies against their will. That is classified as torture. A fetus especially one that isn’t even viable doesn’t have the right to use someone’s body without consent. If you don’t want to donate organs to save someone’s life even a child’s, no one can for you even if you are dead. Same thing for women and a fetus. And you pro birthers don’t even care after it’s born so don’t pretend to care about life when you don’t care about the quality of life.
