[@lnrdo]

She has this unique combination of confidence, intelligence, and humor, and she never hits you over the head with it. It's kind of amazing that it feels like this is a person you could just invite over to have beer and barbecue with and not have to be uptight about it even though she's an Oscar-winning Hollywood star. As an actress I trust her to put on a well-crafted performance in whatever film or show she's in and she's frequently awesome these days.

[@Missjunebugfreak]

Emma's got an old Hollywood quality about her in the way she carries herself that's so different from her peers; witty, charming and gracious. It's wonderful to see how much she's evolved as an actress in the past few years and I hope she continues to take on challenging roles that show how fearless & captivating she is as a performer.

Oh these comments make me so sad. There was so much depth to this film that people truly missed. What it means to be human trying to understand and navigate the world. How it is often the most innocent minds who don’t understand the cruelty of the world that are taken advantage of the most. And how the development of boundaries can often only come once we have experienced it ourselves. It’s the full exploration of how to build the authentic self.

[@coffeebreak4108]

Love your comment, I see things exactly like that ❤

[@chinesesteel2713]

Well the focus seemed to be on the anticlimatic normalization of prostitution. With ugly people.

[@Iain-wz2ln]

Fabulous. Thanks ❤😊

[@philmccracken2534]

Yeah totally not about the pedophilia or anything.

[@StellaAdler_]

Depth? A cbild having sec with men over and over and over again? Depth for paedophiles, sure, but here’s the analysis: “We must work. We must make money. But more than that, we must experience everything. Not just the good, but degradation, horror, and sadness. This makes us whole, Bella. It makes us people of substance, not flighty, untouched children. When we know the world, the world is ours. Now, go and f*ck someone.” This quote sums up the movie’s core message, and there is much to unpack. First, what’s wrong with “untouched children”? They’re supposed to be untouched. This movie DOES NOT like children. Second, this quote reflects the dualistic worldview of the occult elite, where it is believed that the bad, the evil, and the horrific are of equal value as the pure, the good, and the godly. It is by uniting the two that a person becomes “illuminated.” Finally, the madame probably doesn’t even believe in what she’s saying. She wants Bella to do degrading things so she can profit from her - the same way the elite wants us to believe in their indoctrination so they can profit from us. The movie makes sure we see Bella being degraded in every way possible. Also, simultaneously, the viewers are watching actress Emma Stone being degraded as well. The movie’s insistence on depicting sex scenes involving the actress takes on a ritualistic dimension where she’s being initiated through humiliation. One of her clients is an older, rather gross butcher who smells awful. After the encounter, Bella says that the sex was “brutal in a strangely not unpleasant way.” Bella (and Emma Stone) gets humped on by this guy while the audience is treated with full frontal nudity. Apparently, that’s what you need to do to win an Oscar nowadays. In another scene, a father has sex with Bella in front of his children for “education.” While doing it, Bella gives sex advice to the boys who sit there and watch. More sexualization of children. Also, Bella discovers that she’s bisexual. Of course. Bella’s girlfriend is a socialist. She tells Bella that a socialist is “someone who wants to change the world for the better.” To which Bella instantly replies: “Then I am that too.” The movie’s unabashed promotion of a specific political current is odd but unsurprising. Poor Things is not mere entertainment; it is creative indoctrination. In case you didn’t notice, the elite has been hard at work trying to create a socialist world government. They want us to associate the word socialist with “changing the world for the better.” If the movie had promoted any other political current, the movie would have been shunned. So, Bella reflects what the elite want women to be. However, her actions cause Duncan to lose his mind completely. Duncan ends up in the looney bin. While Bella is the creation of a man dubbed God, Duncan sees in her the exact opposite: “He has sent a demon at a large into the world. The devil wrapped in an alluring body that cannot be satieted and a mind that picks people apart stitch by stitch like a bloodied and burned rag doll shat out of an elephant’s arse.” While the “demon” is at large, her creator is dying. God is Dead When Bella learns that God is dying of cancer, she leaves Paris and travels back to London. The fact that God dies in the movie is symbolic as, in the elite’s philosophy, men are gods. In London, Bella reconnects with Max, with whom she was engaged before she left. Bella asks Max if “the whoring thing challenges the desire for ownership that men have.” Again, her being a prostitute is framed as some feminist power move that goes against the desire of men to own women. Max says he’s okay with it because it’s “her body.” Although they get married in a church, the black-and-white pattern inside of it indicates that this is actually about the occult elite’s dualistic “religion.” After God’s death, Bella takes over as the mad scientist. In the final scene, everything ends perfectly according to the elite’s vision for humanity. Bella lives with her socialist lesbian lover. Bella placed the brain of a goat into the head of her mother’s controlling husband. This man is technically Bella’s father. But not anymore. He’s a goat now. The movie ends with a shot of Bella reading. She is now an accomplished socialist bisexual lady. Every man who tried to control her is either dead or completely broken. Or a goat. The end. In Conclusion There’s a reason why mass media tastemakers celebrate Poor Things: It reflects the culture and mindset the elite is looking to force on the masses. It is representative of a society that is steadily straying away from everything pure and natural to embrace the sick, the twisted, and, yes, the ungodly. From God’s distorted face to the hybrid animal monstrosities running around to Bella awkwardly walking with an infant’s brain - everything we see is in complete opposition to the natural order of things. But that distortion is not merely esthetic. The movie also obsesses over twisted concepts such as the sexualization of children and female “empowerment” through sexual degradation. In this movie, a child discovering the world does not play around in nature; it plays with a dead man’s penis while stabbing him in the eyes. Of course, not all movies need to portray happy, pretty things. But Poor Things’ core message is that these disturbing things are good and desirable in an enlightened society. At least the movie got something right: It warned us about “tobacco

[@haydelisarias5929]

She has a really great sense of humor

[@travisearly7879]

I remember when Emma Stone first hit my radar in Superbad, where Evan described her as “she hasn’t realized she’s hot yet”. This is still her, but in my world “hot” means “recognized for how talented she is”.

He left almost no box unchecked. Ah yes, the vilification of the male in general. As concerns the cinematography, stitching together Tim Burton with Wes Anderson on steroids isn’t gonna count as style.

[@scarky5706]

I think Poor Things is just about what humanity involves, maybe a study of society It shows you injustices, mean people, good people too, evil, moral behaviors established... It kinda shows you all the faces that have been formed at society through Bella, that doesn't experience shame It can be a social criticism or just exploring human behavior at it's purest form

[@rola9065]

Oscar for Bella! Emma Stone's stellar performance with cast extraordinaire!

While having Christoper Nolan admire your work must be the greatest feeling ever, he is also a fan of the Fast and Furious franchise. so....

Blackbird was my grandma's favorite song, she did not beat breast cancer. But I had wanted to get a tattoo similar but with dandelion seeds flying into the bird. I thought her tat was like that. Anywho. I love Emma

[@slversrfr99]

The film was definitely different, for me, BUT the performances were excellent, any nominations or awards are really deserved.

Its unbelievable how emma rose to fame. First time i watched her in EASY A i instantly loved her.

Poor Things is my favorite movie that she’s ever done. I think it’s currently my favorite movie at the moment. I love her!

[@juliaromero6602]

I can understand when people don't like the same things I do, but I have felt excessively defensive when seeing criticism of Poor Things. I just felt so seen while watching this movie and it brought me so much joy. When people say they didn't like it, I feel as if they are the same type of people who wouldn't appreciate or understand my personality.

@@juliaromero6602 I find it hard to be entertained by the serial rape of a 5 year old child who can barely walk yet, talk in complete sentences yet, when she shouldn't of even been allowed out of the house without a parent or guardian along so she don't kill herself or accidentally murder someone.

We have a family tattoo as well! It’s our last name in Elvish to celebrate our son’s one year sober-versary from a heroin/meth addiction. He’s going on 4 years now! All of us have the tattoo in different places but it’s the same design. ❤❤❤ Congrats to your mom, Emma. It’s 22 years free from breast cancer for me.

As a huge Beatles fan, I love the idea of her tattoo

[@EconAdviser]

My wife at her age had the same problem: spontaneous broken bones. Bone density even showed up X-Rays! Had the skeleton of an 80 yr old, and doctor said that can't happen to women her age, especially one who exercised, drank lots of milk. Yet doc had dozens of women in 30s with her problem. Bone scans weren't covered by insurance and we had to drive hours to get one. Today, even our GP has a machine, it's covered, and takes 1/8th the time! A simple shot every 6 months built her bone density way back up. Clearly hereditary, as our daughter at 16 show low density, too!

I've yet to see a comment about the novel "Poor Things" is based on by the great Scottish writer Alastar Gray. The novel and film are both great, but the reward of the novel is the typography, voices of some many characters (truly differentvoices)...highly recommend the novel, especially if you like the film. Have you not seen the film, read the novel first; a fascinating contrast.

[@versatilians]

She makes my heart flutter. :)

[@julierutherford5618]

Great film beautifully acted.

[@joeldriver-sp2rg]

I recently saw "Poor Things" and it certainly was unlike any movie I've ever seen. Of course you have to suspend reality to follow the storyline but her portrayal of a child going through an incredibly fast learning curve of life in an adult's body and even seeing how her speech rapidly progresses while driving Mark Ruffalo quite mad was extremely entertaining. I would classify this movie more of a comedy than anything and it's really some off the wall humor.

Having had a cool blackwork silhouette of a wolf howling before a crescent moon on my shoulder slowly morph into a mange ridden rat choking to death on a half eaten oatmeal cookie over the decades, I can attest that all tattoos fade, blur, and sometimes even distort after a few years. So it goes.
