    I saw it again yesterday, generally is a really disturbing movie, and in theaters, a couple of people left the room, but if you are not relating yourself with it, what is kinda difficle because we all age, I really understand that the character of Elisabeth could have done betterm abd be able to follow the rules, as I saw the other character who introduced her to the substance, but she didnt´t, but off course we needed to see the descent of Elisabeth. What it's most remarkable for me is the work of Demi Moore, incredibly, a large amount of women good actresses went throug that, for example, Winona Rider is now again acting, but she was away for many years, also it remind me of Anna Chlumsky, which dissapeared really young and now is working again, Madeleine Stowe, where is she, there a re a huge amount of examples, that doesn´t happen with men, and you can't blame the audience, we have seen what Hrvey Weinstein did in the 90s and 2000´s. The movie was hard to swalloow, I felt a little awkward sad and repulsive about this movie, but I had to see it again because is an amazing instant cult movie. To me is amazing, Demi Moore gives her best, Qualley and Quaid also are in the right point too. Qualley doesn´t have many lines but it´s perfect, because that´s her work, she is an object, so her acting is totally perfect. But Seing Elisabeth going down and down, it was sad. Another thing I think is excellent in this movie is the large ammount of reference to horror movies, the second time I saw it, I kept sawing new references to other movies, and it makes it perfectly, for example, I noticed a reference to Squid Game, like getting a card and talking to someone who you never see. well, Demi Moore was the best..

    How can a sex-ploitaion film effectively do battle with…sex-ploitation? How can actresses who radically conform to beauty standards (via plastic surgery) be integral exemplars for young women? Why would any integral actress participate in, and promote, a sex-ploitation/Roman Colloseum flick? Will this movie stop women of all ages, from the natural desire, of wanting to appear beautiful in public? Will a sexy girl running around in her underwear make viewers think differently about sexual assault? The trailer for ‘The Substance’ promises titillation galore for teenage boys and dirty old men, under the guise of ‘social critique’. How far is this tactic from the films produced by the American Social Hygiene Association, at the beginning of the 20th century? The males will leave this film with ‘flesh on the mind’ and the females with ‘cosmetics on the mind’. Which ideology or cause, could justify prostituting images of a woman’s nubile contours, to over a billion viewers? Successful actresses build their career on character, rather than contours (i.e. Angela Lansbury). Filmmakers who genuinely love women, provide opportunities for their feminine strength of character to shine. Misogynistic filmmakers expose bodily contours and then proceed to tear them apart for the viewer’s perverse delight. My favourite Demi Moore film is ‘One Crazy Summer’. I would like to see more films like ‘Howard’s End’ or ‘Trust’ where the women are given something edifying to do… While the filmmakers are patting themselves on the back, for simply reinforcing ‘the male gaze’, here are some valid criticisms: “But for all its feminist diatribes, The Substance is still a movie that is 80 percent extreme close-ups of Margaret Qualley’s arse. In nearly every other scene, the camera lovingly pans over her spandex-clad exterior, in sequences that are shot like ‘90s Viagra commercials” (Inverse.com). "The Substance’s presentation is as shallow as the very thing it’s critiquing. There’s no compassion, and certainly no catharsis - just more hagsploitation and a sense of déjà vu." (Hannah Strong) "An overuse of stale horror conventions in an already predictable plot-combined with decades-old, thoroughly unchallenging ideas about women’s relationships to their bodies-leads to a film that claims to support its protagonist, while treating her like the butt of the joke at every turn...I will not deny that Margaret Qualley is great to look at, but Fargeat undermines her film’s satirical point by catering to the same male gaze that the script claims to despise so deeply. Fargeat isn’t quite sure what she wants to say about women’s relationships to their body and images of their body, so she falls back on simply showing us that Margaret Qualley is hot.” (Paste Magazine) 'After two hours and 20 minutes of flamboyantly repulsive variations on this well-worn theme, even the strongest-stomached and most feminist of viewers could be excused for muttering, We get it already." (Slate Magazine)

  • @melissagreye8445
    @melissagreye8445 Місяць тому

    I don't think you guys understand how expensive this show is. The reason why there are only 8 episodes for this season is because of budget. From the very beginning both George RR Martin and Ryan Condal said the show was going to be 4 seasons, this was said BEFORE the show even aired its first season. What was supposed to be episodes 9 and 10 would have been the Battle of the Gullet which is a major battle and requires a large amount of money to be done. The first three seasons of Game of Thrones were slow and required set up, they also did not get expensive until the last three seasons. In terms of cost, House of the Dragon is way more expensive and requires time. It would not make any sense for a battle to take place in episode 8 due to no one being positioned to fight. Interesting discussion anyways.

    • @zachmiller8683
      @zachmiller8683 Місяць тому

      I think to your point even though the show is expensive, they should’ve structured the story with a bigger climax for the season. So either getting to the climax faster or giving it the 9/10. The structure of the show in general is already way different with the time jumps than GoT.
