I am beginning to doubt the claims that Blake Lively dresses herself and not a stylist. Whatever you may think of her, her red carpet looks are pretty great. She boasted that many of Lily's outfits came her and Gigi Hadid's closet and if this is how she is dressing herself, then.... yikes. I think she works with a stylist (probably under strict NDA) that helps to edit down her outfits to something more refined and cohesive that we see on the red carpet. Even before the drama started, many people were side eyeing how Blake looked as Lily and were saying that someone in the costume department must hate her as they managed to make Blake Lively look bad. Only for us to learn (months later) that she choose most of the outfits.

Even though that was very unrealistic and a lot of things in the book was problematic to me, at least the ages made sense. Like Lily having her first love at 15 with an 18 y/o, losing him very tra umatisingly, and finding the next one at 23 with a 30 y/o. The problematic ages and/or power dynamic made sense considering she saw her dad being ab usive to her mom. Also if I remember right, in the book it was mentioned in passing that Lily tried finding love between losing Atlas and finding Ryle in highschool and college, but they were all just flings or hopeless ones. It showed that due to her tra uma she had a pattern of being with the wrong people and made us understand why she fell for Ryle in a short time. Considering that they aged everyone up in the movie to make their life achievements sound realistic, they could have also added something like showing Lily go through multiple short but abusive relationships before meeting Ryle, to establish a pattern. In the movie it seemed like after Atlas, she just went single for 10 or 15 years, had no one hit on her or she felt no sparks for anyone, and suddenly met Ryle and fell in love with him in few days, which is not unrealistic but very uncommon.

And like they could’ve done it well if they handled the press properly. Oppenheimer was also a seirous movie, but the reason barbenheimer worked was because well a. Barbenheimer happened naturally by the fans online and wasn’t orchestrated by studios but b. In all the interviews with Oppenheimer, they didn’t play down the subject matter that they were dealing it, they treated the movie itself seriously and the subject matter seriously. They didn’t do that here, they tried to underplay the movie by focusing on the fashion and the “romcom”aspect , which btw, focusing on the fashion didn’t have to be a bad thing if they treated it with some nuance and how fashion explored what the characters were going through in the movie, but they didn’t so…

"Why is she always apologizing to him" That's one of the main sings of gaslighting and abuse. The abuser twists stories and memories and always tries to make you feel in the wrong or make you feel bad about things, even if you did nothing wrong

Rightt, some of her commentary rubbed me the wrong way. Like when she said “what kind of horrible answer is that” to Lily’s mom saying that it would’ve been harder to leave (her abusive husband).

THE FLOWER SHOP AND FLOWER THEME WAS SOOO WASTED. They could’ve made something so interesting with floriography. It’s a language based on flowers and was heavily used back in the Victorian era to communicate feelings, desires, etc. with bouquets.

[@نيشا-د2م]

Another way they could’ve made this movie more believable is by having Ryle’s be more loving/kind towards Lily (i.e. love bombing her), than overtime Ryle’s start becoming much more aggressive/abusive, while also having flashbacks of her parents’s relationship. Psychologically speaking, people tend to in romantic relationships that are familiar to them. Meaning, if you have an abusive parent in your household, there is a high chance that their child is either going to be in an abuser &/or be with an abuser. Instead of having flashbacks with Atlas, they should’ve had it with just the parents!

[@aries4alexs]

So I haven't seen the movie but it looks like they really fucked up the pacing. The book shows a lot more of WHY Lily doesn't leave: he's super nice in the beginning (definitely love bombing in retrospect), she literally doesn't have a support system (her best/only friend is Ryle's sister and she has no family except her mom and that relationship is rocky), and the only marriage she's ever seen is her parents but her mom wont even speak bad about her dad so the abuse is kinda normalized. She doesnt really have anyone to talk to about this until Atlas reappears in her life. She also doesnt have tons of money/resources and divorce isn't cheap. Ryle is rich as hell so he'd have way better lawyers to defend him if she presses charges or divorces him Also I'm not going to defend Colleen Hoover but there's a note at the end of the book that gives helpful context. Lily and Ryle are modeled after her mom and dad, her dad was abusive to her mom. The scene in the kitchen where Ryle first hurts Lily is what happened the first time her dad hit her mom in real life. Some quotes: "When I decided I wanted to write this story, I first asked my mother for permission. I told her I wanted to write it for women like her. I also wanted to write it for all the people who didn't quite understand women like her. I was one of those people. The mother I know is not weak. She was not someone I could envision forgiving a man for mistreating her on multiple occasions. But while writing this book and getting into the mind-set of Lily, I quickly realized that it's not as black and white as it seems from the outside." "This book is different. This was not entertainment for me. It was the most grueling thing I have ever written. At times, I wanted to hit the Delete button and take back the way Ryle had treated Lily. I wanted to rewrite the scenes where she forgave him and I wanted to replace those scenes with a more resilient woman-a character who made all the right decisions at all the right times. But those weren't the characters I was writing.That wasn't the story I was telling. I wanted to write something realistic to the situation my mother was in-a situation a lot of women find themselves in. I wanted to explore the love between Lily and Ryle so that I would feel what my mother felt when she had to make the decision to leave my father-a man she loved with all her heart."

Her trying to explain the beauty of flowers to a stranger had me weak. Like what? I almost walked out. 😂

[@fatmamohammedh7116]

All the characters were too old for the movie Ryle knew about lily's dad being abusive from day one and still hit her anyways (i was so shook i had to stop reading and get breakfast) They made that first incident look like an accident but from the book he backhanded her for laughing at him for burning his hands bcoz she was tipsy (not an accident but as a reader it made you question whether it was coz it was so unexpected) I hated her giggling the outfits suuuuucked and her acting even worse (book lily was amazing, you would have loved her) They didn't give atlas enough show time Reading the book would have actually made you fall in love with ryle (book lily was so in love with him that it actually made you as a reader feel shitty for judging people who stay in abusive relationship) making the decision to leave him even harder (the movie made it seem like lily came to that decision so easily but it wasn't) As a reader, you also fall harder for atlas especially with their backstory and the current one (they left out so much that he did for her after leaving ryle😢 atlas is a sweetheart) Ryle tries to grape her and headbutts her till she actually loses consciousness... Basically they really downplayed the violence... Book ryle was one scary mofo.... I got chills every time they had to talk Lastly, I hate how they give villains back stories to justify their actions and don't even try to help them solve their "trauma". without the whole emmerson backstory i would have been okay with how they left ryle's story at but... Giving him that backstory humanizes him and makes it seem like there's hope for him after all and that he can be a better person if he gets therapy or sth (idk) Okay done ranting

[@fadimoroka3033]

These were all my opinions as well , the book was definitely better at explaining the relationships surrounding lily it upsets me how it was shown during the movie except for the scenes where Ryle hurting her were “accidents” that was great cause we can see it from a victim’s point of view

[@Angela-mi3on]

don't remind me of Collen Hoover,it took me so long to recover from the children s3xu4liz4tion,d€4d children and constant mc 4bus3 in EVERY SINGLE BOOK, they were so bad I stopped buying books without reading the reviews,trust me if I tell you she left me traumatized,and she has the guts to call her books "romances", they're absolutely not💀☠️

[@WhatExcellentBoiledPo-ta-toes]

I look up negative reviews before buying books 😅

[@Unhinged_capybara]

@@WhatExcellentBoiledPo-ta-toes no but the problem is many people give her books very high ratings so those ratings on Goodreads are sometimes deceiving🫠

wake up babe netflix party posted

[@netflixpartyy]

heyyyy 🩷

[@Redwire179]

24:24 Exactlyyy. This is what made me mad while watching this because in the book he pushed her as a result of his anger towards her because she got his hand hurt. But now they swapped the scenes around and it made it seem as though it was just an accident Which made it less impactful

[@soniachannie]

Girl you ate with that final commentary I fear

[@21akua]

I agree with that last bit. Although the lack of subtlety and build up might also be bc some abusers just do the horrible stuff one day and it’s like ‘out of the blue’. The problem was that by showcasing Ryle’s anger issues at the start, part of the audience (me!) is already saying NO DONT DO IT to Lily.

[@bestwifman]

Let’s just remember, the victim is not the issue here. No matter how smart we think we are, it still could be us one day. It’s not their fault, man or woman, a victim is not responsible for being in that situation.

[@michelea3366]

Someone gifted me this book for my birthday and I knew nothing going into it. I got about halfway through the book and really didn't like Lily. I didn't like anyone in the book and that was odd for me. I couldn't even place my finger on it I just didn't enjoy it. I finished it because I really just felt like I had to and it didn't get better. I understood what you were saying where it should have focused on Lily and Ryle's relationship, the impact of her relationship with her dad and how that influenced how she relates to others. Because even though they had us rooting for Atlas...he was just as flawed. I don't know....I just yeah.

[@netflixpartyy]

Omg this is so funny bc my uncle gifted me It Starts With Us (the prequel i think?) for my birthday this past summer 😭 I will not be reading I fear

[@StoryMWalker]

[@BeautifulBianka]

I think the vision Justin had for this movie was not portrayed at all and the drama surrounding it just made it worse lol Unfortunatley.

[@IamnowscaredofTwitter]

8:21 It’s the way I woulda been sprinting for the door, tho

[@guhey]

Your reaction at 30:24 is soo real because where did this story time come from😭😭

[@alohaabi23]

HELPPP NOT THE INTRO BEING SO ACCURATE 😭-

[@terryntruth1824]

no but I get what you were saying in the beginning regarding big actors, watch someone come up to me and say Zendaya wants to play my dark skin ass like why would I retaliate? free press

[@liyemalivemandla]

@m.i.action8148 oh girl you're the real victim here

It is the haircut!!!! Atlas actor is fineeee in 1923 Yellowstone

[@melónmíomoo]

Colleen Hoover books HEAVILY and I mean HEAVILY romanticize abuse and incest (uncle, brother, father, grandpa, even step family) and I don’t understand why they’re so popular. Maybe people resonate with it? Idk what it is

[@akiumzeno]

43:04 Unfortunately, this does actually happen sometimes. I can attest to it after having not one but two of my family members go exactly through that. They had an ab*sive ex, got pregnant with said ex's child and ended up having the baby. And in both cases, they had the child because they thought that would mean things would somehow get better when they didn't. So on that note, I do think it's trying to advise against doing exactly that (whether it's successful is a whole other topic). I get what it's trying to say and even when I heard about that aspect of the story, my mind immediately went to my family members. Of course, there's nuances concerning stuff about custody, parental rights, etc. but I do appreciate that it's trying to tell that not all abusive relationships are "just leave them and all your problems will be solved" because real life doesn't always work like that.

[@astronova_oo]

i remember reading this and ppl said i would cry at the end but i was so unmoved with this book. and it was the RAVEEEEE like the hype for this book was ridiculous and so you reacting to this movie is me watching it because i just cannot believe they made it into film….its not even good depiction of SA but romanticise it and normalise it towards everyone and not how someone who was SA’d would romanticise it due to their trauma.

[@cuiteparis]

Finally, I was waiting for you to talk about this movie because I always love your videos and how funny you are and and I’m glad that half of the common section is just roasting the hell this movie because we all know the author really thought she ate with this whole domestic abuse story

[@molijay2107]

i’m ngl though, i feel like the ambiguity of the violence had a point, but probably wasn’t executed well. a lot of the time in abusive relationships, the victims usually pass it off as a mistake, or accident to themselves. but also i defo agree with the other criticism

[@WhatExcellentBoiledPo-ta-toes]

I think youre right they were trying to put us in the mindset of the victim. The confusion the gaslighting. Its her pov. But they mustn't have done it very well 😅

[@_xorcists]

the lack of nuance in the film was ASTOUNDING. on the topic of the sister, it should NEVERRR be a woman's job to fix a man. ain't no way u proved history repeats itself even tho the movie is supposed to speak AGAINST that...crickets.

[@twilightfades_7]

I think that’s obvious. He has issues. But any sibling or family member is going to want change to happen, and more so if it means the person they love is in a relationship with a good person. It’s like a way of hope. I think people lack to think critically. No one ever said it’s a woman’s job to fix a man.

[@ornella2887]

The younger Lily’s actress mimicked Blake’s Lily impeccably

[@user-dz5tz3uv2z]

DV was portrayed so poorly in the main character's relationship for a 2h film. There was a lot of backstory which was alright but then when focusing on the "present" relationship it felt rushed and they only showed the physical violence, it didn't feel progressive like real situations.

[@sourmarshmellows11]

Movie isn’t good I get it but abuse is no joke. People have NO understanding the amount of psychological damage it causes even after leaving or while going through it. The fact everyone thinks it’s EASY to just stop or leave when in reality LEAVING Is the most dangerous times for victims!!! And there’s RARELY any consequences for abusers if ever!!!
