A film that perfectly could have been canceled, wins the Oscar.

Actually, Oppenheimer won best picture. Poor Things did get nominated for best picture though and it did get 4 wins in other categories. It's a very good movie but it's probably not for the hyper-sensitive. People will be shocked by the content.

One thing is for certain, Hollywood knows there is an audience for people that want to see material that could get cancelled. They might appear to be on the side of those that do the cancelling, but we know it's just an act, as most things in Hollywood are. lol....

You might not know this but there are similar movies to Poor Things, like for example, Big, that movie with Tom Hanks. He plays an adult with a kid's mind. There was a sex scene in it too but its quite tame compared to what we see in Poor Things. Bella grows up pretty fast in this and is at a mature state of mind by the time she starts having sex. You might have missed that part of the story. A lot of people did.

But even knowing this, the sexuality of the character is not that surprising since she is a full grown woman, you might not have noticed this either. The things is, she's not all there mentally, she's the creation of God. lol...

Although, throughout the entire film we see Bella is many situations that don't seem like the best place for her to be, but she is somehow able to navigate the rough terrain while some of her companions along the way are oblivious to her condition. Hilarious film in my opinion. One of Yorgos' best....

Explain why this would or should get cancelled, using examples of precedent.

(Hint. "Material about challenging topics, like depicting people having irresponsible and abusive parents" is not the answer you think you might need to look for. )

She's only a child in an adult body at the beginning of the film. She is developing towards adulthood at an accelerated rate. For most of the film she's better thought of as a blank slate than a child.

This is sci-fi, people. You just have to suspend your disbelief about certain things, like how a baby's brain can fit inside an adult skull, or how with God dead they were able to put the General's brain in a goat. I agree with its Oscar wins and noms.(and I would recommend the above poster to get help for his pedophile obsession--perhaps expanding their media consumption to the world outside of Fox?)

Too bad. You missed a pretty good movie. I expected it to suck from some of the comments I read months ago. I enjoyed it.
