You know, someone we’d care went missing?
I don’t imagine psychotic billionaires spend their time focused on unattractive women.
Unless maybe the psycho billionaire knew no one would give a damn if ugly women vanished.
But ugliness doesn’t get the audience invested.
Especially the men this film is trying to preach to.
The women cast in the film did a great job and this was a really fantastic and engaging film. Who would you have cast?
shareThey weren't ugly. They were "obtainable." They had looks where, if they weren't famous, the average guy would feel he had a shot if he approached her at a bar. Hollywood has been trending this way for a while. Millie Bobbie Brown, Ellen Page (prior), Emma Stone, Jlaw, Akwafina, Lupita Nyongo, Daisy Ridley and Phoebe Waller-Bridge are all famous modern actresses, that are all in the in the five to seven range on the ten scale. There are lookers as well(e.g. Robbie, Daddario, de Armas), but plenty of average looking women that wouldn't have been cast in leading roles decades ago.
shareBc Zoe Kravitz wanted to empower standard issue black women being able to overpower the white devil. Makes it more “powerful” when the black woman isn’t a supermodel. *cringe*.
Whole premise was just silly. Attractive tech billionaire isn’t bamboozling some plain Jane chick to his private island to drug and rape at his leisure for months to years lmao. So dumb.
Same as the recent Invisible Man where we’re supposed to believe a rich guy would waste time trying to control the frumpy, unattractive Elizabeth Moss.
shareYep!
sharedamn. i was a huge fan of moss from mad men so i totally didnt realize what was happening. it had an ugly white woman and a black guy as her helper. definitely woke movie.
shareThank god she was placed next to Sarah (the Latina actress) for 2/3 of the movie. It gave me something attractive to distract myself from her. What was worse though? The gapped baby teeth or the long, worn face? I agree with you 100% OP. It was borderline torture.
