Lots of furious jumping in this movie.
were all that sex scenes from poor things real? did emma stone and mark really had sex on set?? or all that scenes were fake generated?
@@AyushiB-sd5xdlook, if it's not a porn film, sex scenes are "fake", which means actors are simulating the scene without anything actually going on down there. You're probably pretty young if you thought those could be real
@@tronik2605 yes im young mentally, i am going to be 1st yr clg student in june this yr 😄. i m from india , i have never seen movie like that ever before 🙂, i read abt emma stone she got oscers for poor things, and on telegram the movie was available , without knowing anything abt the movie , i just downloaded that and watched .. while watching the scenes became vulgur😆. but after i had doubdt that was they really intimating on set, even they are married , so i had questions 😶🤭.
I loved Willem Dafoe's character, it's not just a cardboard one dimensional "evil guy", nor he is a "good guy", it's a nuanced character with virtues and defects. When the other doctor confronts him about the nature of Bella he just decides to be honest and practical so he explains plainly what is going on. It's also inline with his character, a man who mainly approaches things logically and coldly. Yet he is hurt when Bella goes away, despite his claims of having a scientific mind and he being beyond emotions.
There are many things like that that make him great.
I agree with your comment 100% and it’s refreshing to see someone else pick up on that. To add, part of the reason I love this movie so much is that it talks about what it means to be a scientist and how generational trauma affects people working in STEM fields. I don’t know if they were even trying to do that but as a woman in science I found it incredibly impactful.
I would love a movie about his childhood. His father seemed insane.
One of the better interviews about "Poor Things." I especially appreciated Rami Youssef's first comments (starting 7:27) about the way the various chief male characters each represented different parts of "all men." Fascinating movie.
Spoilers: I never got why his character Max was the only man that was left. Felt like he should've went from Bella's life too to complete the point.

OK. I'll keep going. I'm at the 1 minute mark and already weary of this interviewer. On the strength of your Comment, I'll push on through.
actually intriguing questions!!! this is what interviews are for
It’s what we all want them to be but typically isn’t what we get. This gal rocks as an interviewer. So impressed. Well done!
Mr Dafoe was totally left out of the oscars.what a performace he did. it was super
Its the first interview where mark opened up about intmate scenes regarding poor things its good though🤩
It's so hilarious to see how Dafoe can speak without words😂
Such a great interviewer. truly. These were some really meaningful questions. Not like a lot of other things you see online. well done
Agree. She really dove into each character and brought out a deep and intelligent discussion which is what I was hoping for. It’s such a complex story. Well done Ms. Interviewer! ❤
Great interview, really good questions! Poor Things was such a unique movie I loved it!
I loved this movie!!! I feel Bella was like a man in a woman' body..She treated Mark Ruffalo ,Duncan like many men throughout the centuries have treated women and have suppressed and control their behavior.. Duncan (mark Ruffalo) could not stand it which made me really laugh.. He got what he had given out for years! Thank you for such great acting by all and inspiring us to do much reflection on ourselves and society !
So true, narcissistic, sick, but raw :)
You mean she acted like a feral animal? Cuz that’s true.
I felt like Bella was written by a man.
No. Bella acted like an ASSERTIVE and INDEPENDENT WOMAN, just as she and every woman should!!
These questions were so good 😭😭 thank youuu
Wow such thoughtful questions. Super interesting interviews
6:49 Willems reaction is gold
i know its easy to focus on the "all men are controlling dirtbags" message of this movie, but the male characters in the movie were beleivably flawed, almost drawn up sympathetically. that to me is one small part of the larger genius of this masterpiece.
My man, I think you've let the rotten twitter takes influence you a lot, if you came out of this thinking, that was the message of this movie
@@piusdoe8984 What about the poor dummy patiently waiting for bella to be done with men and return to be his bride? Bravo Hollywood, you did it again 👏👏
Beautiful compassionate comment by Willem (and the way he said it, his face...) at 11:07.
This was such a great interview!
One of the most interesting "Poor Things" interview I've seen!
Terrific questions!
Brilliant interviews, bravo!
Amazing and very smart questions. Can't wait to watch it
Brilliant film...loved, loved, love it! Excellent interviews too. Very thoughtful questions, intelligent young woman interviewing. A relief to watch such interviews.
Excellent film, spot-on questions
Willem answered with plenty of confidence, "A lot can get accomplished with those sex scenes, even the gratuitous ones." Having acted in Nymphomaniac, he's overqualified to answer that.
I do believe that Alasdair Gray would have been pleased with your performances- 👏👏👏 excellent work ❤
Isn't it funny how lots of people are comparing Emma being nude in the movie with prostitution? Why nobody is taking about Mark Ruffalo ? Exactly.
This is one of many aspects that the film is about.
People want to own women, choose for them, force them, and then insult them :)) Be better.
Kudos to this amazing interviewer, ❤
god i love everyone in this interview
I feel like Mark has spent so much time playing Bruce that he kinda doesn’t seem secure in his abilities 😭 it’s ok mark you did quite well 🫶🏽
Three of my fav actors!

I was totally surprised by this movie! Not truly into syfy, but intrigued by the characters and thought the ending was the best! Difficult to describe this movie, but I loved it!
Great job 👏 by Emma Stone. Amazing performance. My favorite movie of the year. 🍿love the whole cast.
In regards to the sex scenes, Bella, while working at the brothel, was feeling uneasy about her profession. I found it interesting, in order to solve her mental/psychological dilemma, she asked her customers to tell a memory and she would provide a joke. After passing a sniff test for cleanliness, she would then find sex with strangers more acceptable/appealing.
Emma Stone is an amazing talent and seems like a great person.
She's always Emma Stone playing (insert character). That's not good acting. A good actor disappears into his/her character.
@@dianaday1 Are you serious? You can’t be serious…
Emma Stone is a true and pure sweetheart
It was such a great movie, I am so glad I was able to catch it in the theaters here in South Korea. It will be on my mind for the next few days. It's been a while since I've been able to see a beautiful artsy film. I absolutely loved the unquestioned burp bubbles Godwin would do during meals. The dance was so good! And the music score as the movie progressed! Wow. People that are so focused on the sex and nudity are missing out on everything else this movie has to offer. How you react to the scenes has more to say about you than the people that worked on this film. Emma stone and the others did a fantastic job. I want to watch it again soon. 💜
Great interviewer.
I love the furious riding scenes
Furious jumping 😊
Protect mark ruffalo
Look! it's Hulk, Gwen Stacy and Green Goblin all in one movie!!
Why is Ramy Youssef's name not included in the title of this video?
Because clickbait
I thought the movie would have been excellent without the vulgarity. It was too much. There are so many amazing details and connections to other works of art that could've made this my favorite movie, and I understand that seggs is an important topic, but I could've done without seeing SO much...
She said in another interview that she did in fact study the movements of toddlers for this role. Weird that she’s changing her answer.
She said in the other interview that she initially looked at videos of toddlers, but then she and Yorgos discarded the idea of that being helpful
10:10 if this type of good movies have this much of nudity we can't watch this movies with our family or even discuss about the movie is an embarrassment
Then your view of sex, understanding of human relationships, and what you have been taught...is all wrong
William Defoe… so chill, delivers wisdom in few words.
I wish the interviewer had interviewed the men better without implying patriarchy. Emma was the star. How much more men bashing do you people want? The film was brilliant, though.
Lol I love how Willem just straight up defends ALL sex scenes in movies after Mark's long rant
Funny, you also interviewed Rami Youssef yet his name isn't in the title?
Bad to cut off Willem Defoe… I wanted to hear what he had to say about sex scenes.
I see how the movie represents "All men". The male leads, as always, were protected from gratuitous nudity and raunchy sex scenes that could be exploited by gutter dwellers in the audience. You have to protect the dignity of the men. Of course. A LOT of men do seem to be championing equality for women through this movie. So much better than sexploitation films of the past where the women, not the men, are expected by male writers, directors to expose themselves for the pleasure of the male audience. Right?
I didn’t know anything about Poor Things and watched it with my mom and husband… it got a bit awkward! 😆
you couldn't pay me to watch this again. It was someone trying to put every idea into one movie, which is not good
Playing a character like that is liberating. It is like therapy. You get to "retrain" your ego or your persona to be more forthright. It was an excellent film, although it was a bit too explicit so I can't really watch it again. I kept feeling uncomfortable watching her character have $ex.
is it metropolis and Frankenstein mixed together
With a dash of Barbie
The title is misleading
The title is interesting. Was it not derived from he pity of the poor people in Alexandria? And that is what begins to truly expand her notion of life after she naively gives away all of Duncan's winnings...
Yes. No real mention of the furious riding that I was hoping for
When Dafoe said even the gratuitous ones anyone seen the antichrist?
this is why Emma wins top awards...
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
STONE ALREADY GOT BELLA'S FACE HAHAHAHAHAHA
I love how she appreciates the script & the characterization of Bella. She absorbs her & it’s delightful to watch. What an amazing process!👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼🫶🏼🫶🏼😘
I didn't enjoy or approve of the glamourization of prostitution, but I see it in the film as a critique of things that are constituted as freedom for women, when in reality, we're subject to exploration and being defined by men.
Glamorous?! Oh I can't imagine anyone seeing this film and thinking it a glamourous line of work! Bella even indicated that she shouldn't have to service a client she found repulsive, which she did. She had money to leave but she chose to continue her experience and experiment of becoming fully human.
@@JohnnyCatFitz I too was wondering how it was glamorous and wanted to see if someone else explained to better to see the other perspective but found the depection explained better by you.
It’s the oldest profession in the world, it’s been around a long long time before us and it will be around a long long time after us too. It is what it is, everyone knows it’s there and what it is, I don’t think it can be glamourised or demonised any more than what it is.
Both men and women are involved just as much in that industry nowadays I really don’t know what’s to complain abt ?
There are always going to be people that want or need to buy it, and people that are willing to sell it, in 99.9% of cases everyone is happy.
In fact, there have been places on this planet that have tried to ban prostitution completely and have always found that things get worse as crime rates and rape cases go up. It’s a very much needed part of society im afraid whether it’s one’s cup of tea or not.
@@williamxchau you have to be an absolute misogynist to call it profession. It's the oldest form of exploitation and directly towards women. The oldest profession is midwifery. Disgusting.
I have been all in regarding Emma Stone. Up until this movie. Why would anyone with such talent, poise, intelligence, and humility choose to do a movie with these awful sex scenes? I left the theater. I was saddened that our society celebrates this.
Yes, I wonder how many millions she must have asked to justify so much nudity… then again, that’s almost within the spectrum of prostitution… I don’t know. I saw people leaving the theatre, there were disturbing scenes, I found some hard to watch. Was the director trying to be funny?
Wasn’t that awful… the whole movie was a big “what if” you had no idea what was acceptable or not and got to learn everything wo having to (or knowing to) hold yourself back. Why was it ok for Mark Ruffalo’s character to participate in the sex scenes, but not for Emma!?
Are we going to talk about how Bella has a baby’s brain and soul and that she has sex with grown adult men throughout the whole movie? Is that okay? I guess this just shows what you can do if you are not constrained by any social or spiritual or religious boundaries? And then socialism.
that is why the film makers say you can’t take the timeline literally. And why they do such a good job of twisting the reality of the world with flying machines and such. While it’s a baby brain in the story, the timeline of her being a baby or toddler can’t be taken literally, more the idea of a baby and learning about the world. Obviously she grows a lot faster than a real baby brain would, she learns words and her hair grows incredibly fast. This is one if the ways I loved the movie because they made the whole world off kilter enough to make the idea workable.
I had thoughts of grooming and pedophile vibes while Emma, though adult in size, was still clearly still a child or young teen. I guess consent was out of the question. I thought the sex was totally gratuitous. Even with all that, the premise was interesting and Emma was brilliant as usual. There were definitely some hilarious parts.
It’s a story. It’s not real. The Bible has filthy stories in it as well and no one questions its morality and impact on impressionable minds.
@@iamanomasi agree, especially when she returned to her husband/father. I was feeling very uneasy. Glad they didn’t have furious jumping
Well, what would be wrong if someone with a child's mind and adult body wants to experience something that feels really good? I worked with the mentally challenged for years, and it's sort of the same question. Does the longer life experience make it OK if the person is still functionally a child? Should (Godew?) have not let her go into the world? I mean, the idea of transplanting the baby's brain into the mother's body is morally controversial to begin with. What about socialism?
This movie made me feel like a prude. Did the sex need to be so graphic?! Btw i watched it on Disney +....im sure walt would love that his name was associated with this😂
I allways loved women and liked men! Seems like all flanks are covered!
I felt sorry and ashamed for Emma. It's like she was taken advantage of by people she trusted and admired.
She is an adult woman and seemed to have enjoyed the experience, she is not her character.
Really?
Saying that all humans experience the sex drive, is kinda tone def because people who don't experience such desires exist
Less tone def and more so just he means most or normally it is a part of development. He's not purposely excluding ace people.
Very small percentage
@@theavatar9191 even then there's people who develop differently and not through sex.
@@Punpun_sugar he's not commenting about specific people though, he's just saying it's a generic human experience. Or one that connects a lot of us. Not every person has to be all inclusive in every word they say in every interview. He's not being exclusive or queerphobic here.
@@logan2113 I never said he was being exclusive or queer phobic. Asexuality isn't even queer.
Sorry I didn't know you an actress
She looked nice
The seemingly deep thoughts of Emma Stone are not reflected in her acting though.
My phone is damage I have three battery then I charge 1 batry and then ......
I make mistek at that Time I am out of control I love my all family bet I am sorry
I am sorry
I bagged out of this movie after 30 minutes. Too weird
the body of a woman with the mind of a possibly 3 or 4 year old. its a movie yet approving the fact a "child" is having sex with an adult. Its a movie...many things are overseen and accepted.
It’s a metaphor
@@abbilarsen9517a metaphor for what?
Honestly asking because I heard Emma Stone Say that.
Really dugg the movie.
Read the book - it explains so much .
But she’s not a child
@@theavatar9191 who is living the life the child or the adult...body of an adult but brain of a child. how many years passed from the surgery to "present time"?
I did not care for this movie.
Mark Ruffalo's accent in Poor Things is terrible. Almost Dick Van Dyke Mary Poppins bad.
Pure garbage
When Mark and Willem talk about the sex scene, they were smiling too much for my taste. It creeped me out. Every man who is mature enough would be able to restrain himself when sensitive topics are discussed. In my opinion, Youssef has done a much better job on that matter. Probably because he is from the younger generation that is more exposed to feminist ideas.
Oh, a smile upsets by a human upsets you? There was nothing wrong with that. It only shows what's going on in your head, pure protection, look inside. Enjoy.
@@chicoamericano8500 There is a difference between a creepy laugh and a innocent laugh as there is a penetrating and lustful stare and curious way of staring at people. There is a small difference within these two behaviors, but there are very different motives and provoked feelings of the recipient. Not everything is projection, sometimes the things are the way they are.
We are not in a victoriana era. Please stop all these stupid societal restrain norms.
7:20 Oh gaawd please... of course the student doctor is the bad guy! He is an evil "patriarchal" figure!
What about how he is treated? He is literally looking out for Bella from day one, never does even one bad thing to her, yet somehow Bella is his victim. The guy is treated like literal dirt by Bella. And I do understand Bella is indeed a victim herself, but definitely not by his hand. Awful interview in that segment.
The interviewer gives her opinion too much. Who cares what she thinks?
Sorry, but it's basically an x-rated adult movie under the label of "high art." The actress, director and producer should be ashamed, but today's culture is "post-shame." Skip this trash.
Why are you afraid of sex?
this is art. and life is sex. why are you so shamed into submission? let go dude. it’s not that serious.
baby, you know it is a movie…they were acting, no real sex was filmed, chill…
You are entitled to your opinion, for sure.
@@thegirlwholovesmusic Art? 😂 It's porn.
So the interviewer thinks to question sex senes is silly (of course she would) because the opposing side says it has "no narrative purpose" -- well the opposing side would be correct.
HoneyBella doesn't give a shit.🦡
