I know the story is already about a strong, independent female character, but no doubt producers will push this farther into the woke zone.
I’m actually shocked they didn’t cast a PoC actress, so is the lead a trans woman? Will it only feature male nudity? Will Lady Chatterly be the only intelligent character proving how the men are all idiots?
I saw it, Emma Corrin is totally nude, a lot. Whether you consider that female nudity is up to you, but Lady Chatterley is definitively a woman, with a woman's body. Not a particularly feminine body, but there's something at least resembling tits on there.
shareSadly, in this woke culture, showing voluptuous bodies is an insult to women.
shareYeah that's not it pal. Attractive voluptuous bodies are just in the minority, so of course most actors won't have them, and that has nothing to do with the quality of the media. Emma is easily the best part of this film and replacing them with Daddario (who is an incredibly awful actress) would have ruined it. Emma is quite fit, and the fact that their body is not nearly as attractive as someone like Alexandra Daddario's is not their fault.
shareYet her fault or not, her body still isn’t worthy of the role.
Your “logic” is like telling a friend to date an unattractive girl because she has a better personality than the hot one. No thanks.
No one watches this film for story or acting. They want to see hot bodies getting naked and banging each other.
Why do you think previous versions have starred actresses with porn star bodies?
If house fraus want to sit around downing chocolates and watching period piece romance movies with scrawny chicks, they can watch Wuthering Heights and Prude and Prejudice.
Finally, your point about attractive voluptuous bodies being in the minority is absolute delusional bullshit. There are thousands of actresses out there. Finding a good actress who is attractive and voluptuous wouldn’t be very difficult.
Another day, another whiny entitled, manbaby, incel, bigot crying about "woke"!
shareWhat makes you think production is less than stellar? Have you seen it? Did you see the other productions? The British TV one? The French one? Did you read the book? Just curious.
shareWho said anything about less than stellar? And yes, I’ve read the book. I’ve also seen all the films so far, but not for the story. I read the book for that.
shareSorry. I guess I am confused. You say you’ve seen it, yet you ask a lot of questions about what it might be like which sounded to me like you hadn’t seen it. “So how are woke producers going to screw this up?” “…so is the lead a trans woman?
I think my question before I saw it and after I saw it, is Why? Why make another version of this movie if it isn’t going to shake things up. And though it is beautiful to watch, at this point in time, it ceases to have that risqué factor. It seems more like a relationship between classes that would be on Downton Abbey. It is a love story but not one that is scintillating. The sex scenes are passionless and mechanical and they don’t inspire. The lead actress reminds me of a very long and tall brunette Jodie Foster with the hugest feet and bumpiest shoulders. The guy is a nice guy. Both very British. Since we know the story, we are not clenching our fists when they are found out like we would if it was Madame Bovary or Anna Karenina. I am trying to think of a movie you can draw from that perhaps had a similar relationship in a similar time with some steamier sex scenes, not porn (not Alexandra “Misty Mountains” Daddario), but with really sensuous leads and I recall Sophie Marceau in Firelight in 1997. But this 2022 movie could almost be on PBS.
