"Poor Things"

Vanavond deze geweldige film, met Emma Stone en Mark Ruffalo, op VRT2, rond 21.50!
Vooral kijken, ik had er in de bioscoop veel plezier aan!

Bugonia: Not good.

Unnecessary level of misogynistic violence, an ending with an unnecessary level of silliness, and a main male character that is pure toxic masculinity and sadistically cruel.

Along with the ridiculous ending of #PoorThings (which should have stuck with the much better book ending), Yorgos may be too self-indulgent.

I love #Dogtooth, but these two fail in overall story, for me.

Still gonna try his previous work 🤞🏿

#Movies . . .

Just finished listening/watching (more listening than watching) #Bugonia (2025) another 1 of the 10 movies nominated for Best Picture at the #Oscar awards ceremony tonight.

It's a bizarre #movie that won't win, which is similar to the odd ball #movie -- #PoorThings -- that #EmmaStone also starred in.

The movie is about this cray guy who kidnaps Emma Stone's character because he thinks she's an alien from outer space but it then turns out that the women is really from outer space. Really??? LOL!!! 🤦‍♂️

Anyway, it's a dumb movie which is why I listened to it more than I watch it.

Tried to watch the other 2 Best Picture nominees that I haven't seen yet but they're both foreign language films -- in whole or part -- but my #AltStreaming channel doesn't have the sub-title tracks. So, there's no point in my watching them unless I can find a channel that includes those tracks.

Not recommended unless you like this kind of thing. 🤷‍♂️

★3.5 — I've seen the first half twice now, and finally finished the dang thing....

The Bride!

Mary Shelley, Frankensteins Monster und Bonny und Clyde treffen in diesem Film von Maggie Gyllenhaal aufeinander und bilden ein wildes Amalgam aus zeitgetreuer 30er Jahre Optik, fiebertraumhafter Erzählstruktur, feministischen Anklängen und der Zerrissenheit zwischen Lieben-Geliebtwerden, Ich-Du-Gesellschaft und Selbstfindung ähnlich wie bei #PoorThings. Ein Film, der sich traut nicht alles zu erklären, sondern es uns selbst überlässt, darüber nachzudenken, was der tiefere Sinn ist. Wird wohl leider nicht jedem gefallen - aber wer ein kreatives Werk mit Anspruch an eigene Denkleistung sucht, könnte Gefallen finden. Darüber hinaus ein toller Cast mit sehr soliden Leistungen.

⭐️ 4/5

今天看了蕭伯納的《Mrs. Warren's Profession》。看之前以為是女性主義劇本,或是像《天上再見》那種荒誕諷刺的喜劇,結果看完冷汗不止。

這部劇簡直「全員惡人」,除了 Praed 這個小白。最讓我心驚的是結尾:Vivie 為了逃離母親,最後竟然選擇把自己關在辦公室週末瘋狂加班。這哪裡是獨立?這不是從賣春的坑掉進了資本剝削的坑嗎?

舞台設計很有靈氣,尤其是那群穿白衣少女的群演。她們像是一種視覺隱喻:Kitty 一家的富貴全是少女們的肉體墊出來的;又像是一群白衣亡靈,註定要纏繞這家人一輩子。

說實話,Vivie 真該跟著 Praed 去義大利看藝術,在教堂裡大哭一場。就像《可憐的東西》(Poor Things)裡的 Bella 在亞歷山大城那樣大哭,哭過之後,她的靈魂或許就不會活得這麼割裂了。蕭伯納這老頭,心是真的狠。

最後忍不住吐槽日版翻譯,把 Cambridge Newnham 這麼有象徵意義的地方直接翻譯成「女子學院」,真的太簡略了!這讓身為校友的珍·古道爾情何以堪?
