Really loved ur video cant wait to see u grow
Thank you so much!! I will forgive you for your incorrect opinion of poor things :)
but i do vehemently disagree with your take on 'Poor Things'. I think Bella Baxter perfectly encapsulates the journey of a perversely accelerated journey through adolescence. I feel like there is something inherently and extremely bizarre in trying to reconcile the way that the curiosity and childlike wonder of infancy so quickly give way to the painful realizations of sexual maturity and adulthood, and having all of that take place in an already fully-formed body, but I think that Emma Stone and Yorgos Lanthimos pulled it off perfectly. I also think it has one of the most interesting takes on the way that men sexualize and take possession of women that I've ever seen in a film. Many of the characters are bizarre, because I think they're meant to represent abstractions more than they are people, but I think that's a perfectly literarily valid way to construct characters, if they at least maintain an interesting level of humanity, which I definitely felt they did.
I just don't think I agree that the accelerated journey through adolescence was explored with any nuance in regards to what I know - maybe that's close-minded, but I can't pretend that anything necessarily clicked for me. Most of the exploration of what you're saying felt shallow - abstraction for the sake of appearing whimsical as opposed to investigating anything deeply personal.
Regardless, you're wrong because I disagree😙
You’ve nailed it. I suggested he watch some other Lanthimos films. His lens is pretty narrow.
Hey, let's not be rude, we can agree to disagree
@@RCZFilms that is not rudeness. I suggested to him that you have tunnel vision in appreciating absurdity as a screenwriting genre. You admitted yourself to being closed minded. I suggested you see more of his work to appreciate the way he crafts his story. That is not being rude. I’d hoped it was constructive criticism and you know I was replying to his comprehensive post, not to you.
@@RCZFilms how is someone giving you an obvious statement rude, this statement is coated in a rude tone, but his wasn’t
🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Leo has indeed played this role over and over! 💯

Although I loved poor things
I think you need to watch Dogtooth, The Lobster, The Killing of a Sacred Deer and The Favourite in order to understand Lanthimos’ dark (and disturbing) absurdist comedy. Of course you’re not going to relate to the “humanity” of his characters-they are absurd! He’s a surrealist. I feel your enthusiasm for the character Molly in KotFM demonstrates a kind of tunnel vision in your criticism. Since when does art have to satisfy our emotional comfort zone? Hmmm.
In The Killing of a Sacred Deer, there is an evil inside Keoghan's character that is lurking that we cannot understand, we're not meant to understand. In The Lobster, there is absurdism, but the rules and limitations of the society he lives in are clearly established. Whereas in Poor Things, both of these don't exist. Lanthimos is very much trying to explore extremely human emotions - love, curiosity, loneliness, loss - without any basis in the actual emotions as we know them (or at least as I know them), as well as without any coherent structure built into the society around her. Absurdism or not, I believe that films still have to relate back to our humanity as people, especially if they are trying to demonstrate some aspect of that humanity themselves. Also, I don't think it's a fair argument to say that you need to watch a director's old work to understand their contemporary work - it should stand on its own!
@@RCZFilms I suggested you sample some of his other work to put Poor Things into Lanthimos’ context. He has a pretty clear message in showing how strangely we must relate to an absurdist universal ethos. He’s our modern day Samuel Beckett.
I did not give consent for this to be filmed in my room !
