Loving the usage of footage from the Kenneth Branagh "Frankenstein" adaptation, Riley. It's one of my favorite versions of the story. I'm definitely keen on checking out "Poor Things" now. Wasn't sure about it at first.

I think you’ll enjoy it though it is very surreal (because it’s a Lathimos film)

[@KevinTheTimeGeek86]

@BiologicalRiley I've played "EarthBound", so I have a fondness for the surreal.

wow I felt the exact opposite if anything poor things showed me why life isn't worth living. ask yourself this did we actually saw that Bella learn anything or we were told that by her? I think it is ONLY the latter and she ended up in the exact same position she was at the begging of the movie only now she is the imprisoner and the prisoner. also Duncan is such an idiot, he gave her a very clear deal which Bella fully understood and kept breaking which Bella fully understood and he fully understood. Then WHY DO YOU KEEP BREAKING IT? that won't get you what you want at all even he said it in the movie. There is a god dam limit to actions that come out of "instinct" and Duncan past it by a long shot.

Great vid. Just one tip: don't repeat the same footage so much. It worsens the viewing experience. Greetings.

[@BiologicalRiley]

That’s fair

I read Frankenstein and was very disappointed by the story. But I found "Poor Things" a great movie, except for the many gratuitous sex scenes. I felt these were unnecessary to the plot and made it more or less smutty as we only needed to know that she had a fascination with sex. It wasn't necessary to show it.

seeing what the character is doing and going through is much more effective than knowing they are just thinking something🤷‍♂️

@@Jays-ug9bd True, but they could have used shorthand and gotten the same point across.
