The moral of this movie is kinda woke (Basically: Woman needs to be freed from men,men are stupid,weak,and possessive,she is their prisoner altough she only meets men who wants to love her and gives her richness and travels,she frees herself with sex,cuck men cant do nothing but cry).
But,then i realized that the director,who actually has a history of weird comedies,i think he just wanted to make a soft-porn movie with Emma Stone as a Frankestein-style creature. A kink of his,maybe. But he knew that the only way to make Hollywood realize this movie was to put some woke stuff in it,so he decided to put this woke morals in the story,but in reality he just wanted to realize his soft-porn comedy with Emma Stone,and he managed to do that. So..based!

Woke casting I'd agree. But I think you could interchange Emma for a man and tell the same story. It's more like a commentary or experiment on society, love, jealousy, possessiveness, politeness, manners, uncomfortable truths we want to ignore.

Definitely a better story with a female lead, but women are just as possessive as men. I could see how someone could take away some of your opinions, but there were also good men in the movie who cared for Emma without ulterior motives. I just think it's an examination of human culture in general. Idealism/optimism vs reality/pessimism. Romantic love vs. love of convenience or worse.

Who among us has never had great sex and wondered as Emma did "why don't people just do this all the time?" I'm middle aged and still feel that way. Society is broken.

Emma is just an innocent child in an adult body with a blank slate learning through life by doing and discovering good and bad without having been lectured for half a lifetime about what is right/wrong. And through it all discovers her destiny to be a surgeon and follow in her "fathers" footsteps.
