I think the whole point is that as much as people might not want to admit it, everything this movie portrays about women is often true and is a part of our humanity whether we like it or not. The feminist movement is bullshit bc it in fact pathologizes the female essence. It's NOT a "myth" that "women get attached to men they sleep with and then act desperate for those men", are you kidding me, this happens all the time. Women are wired to be more attachment-seeking, social conditioning pathologizes this and makes it wrong, and then "feminism" tries to force women into being less attachment-seeking and more like men are wired, which is to be more independent. There is nothing wrong w any of that innate wiring, but we MAKE it into something wrong.
I noticed that too and chalked it up to the fact that dancing probably isn't Bradley Cooper's strength at all, and it was just easier to not have to have him learn any choreography when it worked well enough to just let Jennifer Lawrence carry the dancing scenes.
I think it's just a great example of the many facets of humanity that everyone has anyway..he can also be dumb as a stump but very sophisticated in some ways!
No not necessarily, bc what they believed she did WAS malicious...like I was saying, once ppl are targeted they will become defensive and lose their ability to think rationally, that's how and why it is easy to manipulate them. The stuff that was in that email was so extreme; "she" wished the sister's death and slammed and criticized her whole personality. Then clocked a child in the face REALLY frigging hard. It automatically put everyone in the position where empathy was not going to really be accessible to them bc what happened was so personally hurtful and threatening to them. That's what makes that type of manipulation so "brilliantly" effective.
I actually think in the trailer they used a line that was in the movie that I thought I remembered hearing, but w an image from a different scene, which made it appear like a different part but I think it was just the way they spliced things. But really if they thought that was so creepy then why not actually film it that way lol. Unless it was too late by the point the trailer is made I suppose. There was also a line in the trailer where she says eventually "he even controlled what I thought", which I thought would have been a super creepy thing to do in a movie, so I was a little disappointed that that was a bit misleading too lol bc that wasn't really what she was talking abt. Although it was in fact creepy when she then went on to explain how he "knew" what she was thinking one time when she was contemplating how to leave him..
This film made me exceedingly physically uncomfortable in my body, and I give props to any film that can do that. The sound had a lot to do w it including the deafening sound effect whenever (or often) there was a bodily impact, it really just made it seem shockingly violent.
No there isn't but that's kind of a funny comparison lol. I just saw Hereditary last night actually.
Yes in fact I was in the middle of trying to bring everyone I knew to the theater to see it and was rudely interrupted by the Covid-19 pandemic 🙄
I'm actually not even sure I noticed that abt the gun at the time; the thing that bothered me the most was that when she ran out of the hospital waving a gun, something clearly being amiss, why did it take FOREVER for anyone to run out after her??? They were sitting right there by the door.
The way it was shot, it appeared to me that Cecelia was close enough to reach her, and even though it came out of literally nowhere, it was disorienting enough to make it believable, bc the brain is just going to fill in that gap logically for you if you get hit and someone is within arm's length. Maybe that wasn't actually the case in the scene, but that's how I remembered it being anyway.
