The disconnection from “young lily” to “older really” was soooo incredibly noticeable. Like they were playing two different characters. The actress playing young lily was actually sticking to the books. And Blake lively was playing Blake lively. In an interview they asked Both how they prepared and the younger actress said they talked 2 times… It SHOWS.
@@enidavezelaj766 Agree. The life made no sense.. Even the rooftop scene which Ryan reynolds allegedly wrote.. It is never explained why the doctor comes in violently, and then lilys line “i slept with a homeless man” girl you have a tattoo of that man on you, Lily would never refer to Atlas as some random conquest and in such derrogaroty matter. You can tell ryan did not read the book and they were just trying to make a sultry story.
@@servedinawinkphotography Such good acting. and great chemistry on both young actors.. would have watched an entire movie on those two… it was so good.
I'm actually okay with ryle not being shown to be explicitly alcoholic BC i think its an important message for people to know that its not always dead obvious who will be an abuser. I think it helps you put yourself in lilys position easier bc it prevents ppl being able to say, oh well i just simply wouldnt go for someone like that in the first place and i think that would be lost if ryle had an obvious red flag to most of alcoholism Love your videos btw - Benedict is my fave too lol
He definitely had other red flags but the characterisation felt all over the place to me when I read the book (in a way where things didn't make sense) and after I read the note from the author saying she modelled him after her alcoholic father, that's when his behaviour actually made sense to me.
I agree with this, that would be a really interesting way to tell the story and have a great message (you don't always know / this is how you end up in this situation). But it seems like this wasnt an intentional approach, in the book at least?
It's also not dead obvious who will become an alcoholic. Like maybe they rarely drink when you meet them...you also can't always predict that someone will become an addict.
I thought the same thing .. diamond ysl boots , when in the book she was portrayed as simple and getting used pregnancy designer clothes from her sister in laws closet .
Exactly! I saw the movie today and that scene where Blake is prancing around in her incredibly gorgeous and expensive outfit and boots at a party… was all about Blake’s ego and showing off. I haven’t read the book yet, but from what I’ve heard… Lily is supposed to seem a bit more humble than that.
Colleen apparently made her tiktok account private or something, but a friend of mine told me that it was because people were bringing up this thing about her son being involved in S/A and her blaming the victim. Her videos were flooding with it. It is disgusting. And I can't stand people who talk about this movie as if it was romantic. It's about abuse, are ya'll alright?
Thank you . The movie down played it so much and made it more of a love Story . Let part two be the love story , part one needed those important scenes from the book to make a true impact . This movie was meh
Perfect timing. Closing & had something to watch/listen to! Also there was no chance of me watching this one(not a fan of the author) so thanks for the breakdown of the filming techniques used!
Yay! 😂🫶🏻 I tend to see A LOT of films because I'm highly interested in the medium, my monthly movie pass gives me the room to see A LOT of releases if I choose to do so (without having to pay more than the cost of the pass itself), sometimes I see a film without having high expectations for it and end up being surprised in a good way, and also because I want/need to review new releases on here. I knew it was a controversial work of fiction but I'm completely serious when I say I have seen SO MUCH WORSE this year. It's not the type of story I would have an interest in revisiting recreationally but it wasn't a chore to review, especially within the framework of what I had already put together for my previous It Ends With Us video. 🤷🏻♀️🧐
I found the book very cringe and meandering, but seeing the film in a packed theater (half of which clearly went into it without having read the book) it was so fascinating to see how the story played out like how they were so drawn to Ryle, even excited by the proposal, until they slowly hated him. It wasn’t an immediate switch. I liked how the characters wore their outfits more than once, but why was Lily a walking ad for designer brands? The Valentino bag, the YSL boots, the red bottoms. I hated that it implied she was so well off without him, when part of maybe being stuck in that relationship is a well-off neurosurgeon lifestyle. That’s not to say women who stand on their own two feet financially aren’t susceptible to DV, but in this narrative it just seemed like a product plug doing a disservice to the story. So glad Ellen was forgotten about, unless they got to point out how her childhood idol isn’t an angel too lol.
Meanwhile I was making audible groans, scoffs, and other noises of disdain any time Ryle would do... more or less, anything. 😂 I assumed that Lily was dressed up because Blake Lively is interested in fashion (and she is very well-off so she would feel inclined to pull from her own wardrobe and connections for those reasons). I didn't read as far into that because I assumed the choice to dress Lily up was more so about creating a visually pleasing image (in a visual medium of storytelling) more than a 'literal' statement about Lily's finances but I completely understand your point about the clothes. I'm also not entirely sure about the exact financial breakdown for wardrobe in the film budget because even though the clothes Lily wears are more expensive, if Blake is wearing clothes she already has, it wouldn't impact the budget of the film the way it would to pay people who work in that department to gather/purchase/sew an original wardrobe. 🤔✂️🛍💳👠🪡🧵
@@LadyJenevia I sat beside someone who kept telling me how “cute” the movie was. That was awkward. As much as I knew to hate Ryle, Atlas was also too unbelievable. I haven’t read it and have no clue what kind of conflict could exist in the sequel with someone so perfectly pleasant. I don’t remember Lily being so financially stable in the book, or fashion-focused, so it’s definitely a choice for product placement that these brands are wanting their in, especially through an actor who sells fashion well. But the heavily logo items or close up shots were just so obnoxious. It worked for Gossip Girl, not for this. And putting them on Blake’s character instead of on Jenny Slate’s or Justin Baldoni’s (because putting them on the bad guy would negatively impact sales) just tells me it was about pushing the products and not logic toward the characters in them. But this is marketed toward women, so they know what they’re doing there. Imagine watching this movie and now you want those lipstick heels, instead of being aware of any DV resources (I learned nothing in that regard) other than hoping you have a conveniently angelic ex boyfriend, as a takeaway.
@@lidaloo263 Who exactly do they believe has the amount of disposable income to buy that clothing? In this economy? People can’t afford housing, they’re not thinking about buying clothes or shoes that cost hundreds or thousands per item. 😬
@lida4747 Probably the first time in my life that I experienced a movie to be better than the book. First half was just annoying - basically both being horny af and nothing else, no conversations, no action - but the second half was really good. Loved Baldoni's acting.
@@isabellae.238 Because of the way she handled the allegations against her son taking advantage of a 16 yo girl. It was messy and her fans asked her to talk and stop gaslighting the victim. She just blocked a bunch of comments. Ignored all the evidence and the screenshots of her son and the girls conversation. After we agreed as fans to stop buying her book then she decided to make an announcement. By this point it was too late. The worse part was that everything was deleted. The only thing you can find about the whole situation is that she apologized in her fb group. I have met her in person and was actually her friend on fb but I couldn’t support her after that and the whole clean up they did. It was the first time I had followed a drama because I really loved her books, I grew up reading them and would save every penny to buy them. I never thought you could clean something up and make it seem like it never existed. Also, the girl didn’t publish it online first she went to Colleen. But Colleen never responded. After she kept waiting only to get read receipts then she published it publicly. I don’t like to jump on SA allegations but like I said I was just watching it unfold and saw first hand how Colleen just ignored it. Her apology saying I didn’t see it, while we watched people get blocked and comments disappear was an insult to her fans intelligence. However, after booktook started she just blew up again.
@@isabellae.238 all of her books romanticize abuse. They are in the romance genre...but there is abuse in all of them (correct me if I am wrong...I am just stating what I learned from others). Making it sexy...even the director said he loved it because it was a sexy story. Dumb. And her son asked a kid for a dirty pic when he was an adult and she didn't do anything...like I don't know...call the cops...when the girl tried to tell her. Parents need to call the cops if they have pedophiles as children. Then you have Blake L. acting like you can just shake off abuse....like it is just a thing you can get rid of and move on to normalcy. Sure with like a decade of therapy and a high potential for anxiety, PTSD, and depression in most cases. But they just shrug it off like it doesn't have a lasting effect. This is essentially telling men it is okay to abuse women and women if it happens it is no biggy...cause you can just move on. It is the same as when HBO would put rape in every single show and call it sex.....or make excuses for why it was in every show. They were trying to make it sexy...which gives men a horrible view of women and what we can handle..because it isn't a big deal. Writers need to actually write what this kind of violence is really like afterward, during, and the actual effects...but they don't it's always some romanticized thing...and never a massive deal. And finally, we have the fact that nothing is going to end with them...because there were no consequences for what he did...so he will just do it again...and probably to his kid. You can't just leave with the kid and end things.....the fear follows you (I have lived in Airbnbs with my kid for 6 years, just in case I have to leave quick...believe me I know....I am always ready to disappear...that is the reality).
Thanks for this video. I have read the books, and I'm in two minds as to whether I should watch the film. One thing that I never could get past was that in the backstory, Ryle and Allysa's parents are depicted as being nice, normal people in the narrative, yet, one of them left a gun lying around in the presence of a young child, and it's never called out as being irresponsible. Also, Allysa encourages Ryle's relationship with Lily, despite being aware of how violent her brother is, yet she names her baby after him after he repeatedly abused her best friend.
@@trinaq I’m not sure how you’ll feel, i wasn’t a big fan of the book, not the story, I think That’s important but the writing is ugh lol but the movie to me was a lot better. It was done well and the movie fixed some of the cringe quotes from the book lol but kept the rare good ones haha
Yeah the book was RIDDLED with other details I didn't like. Lily saying that Ryle made her promise right before they get married that she'll always vote but that he doesn't care who she votes for. The fact that she never once thinks/talks through whether or not she wants to keep the pregnancy from an abusive man (I'm less picky about the outcome of her choice but to not CONTEMPLATE the options after the 'vote for whomever as long as you're voting' thing was... something). There's more than this but since I've finished my videos I can already feel my brain checking out of retaining as many of the details (without me checking my notes) since the projects are completed. 🤭
Justin did an amazing job at bringing awareness to domestic violence abuse. It's a very real and important issue !! Not a romantic movie but real life drama!!
What is up with the terrible names, right? I was never going to watch the movie or read the book, this is not my kind of story, but I love your videos, so I watched both of the ones for this book/movie. What I've noticed with these kinds of stories is the guys seem to have weird names you would never see in real life. I just don't get the reasoning but it gives "she's not like other girls".
HER FULL NAME IS LILY BLOSSOM BLOOM AND SHE LOVES FLOWERS AND OPENS A FLORAL SHOP. It's about as subtle as a shoe being thrown directly at your face. 🤪😂
this is just how Colleen Hoover names her characters...like the dude's name is Ryle like "rile" make (someone) annoyed or irritated. colleen doesn't know how to be subtle...
I find it very strange that people are selecting “a team” with the media stuff happening with this project, specifically about Justin not being included or even referenced by the rest of the cast. I have a problem with the fact that Ryan Reynolds wrote a scene, the rooftop scene, according to an answer Blake shared which is making me think that they tried (and succeeded) to make the project their vision. I wouldn’t be surprised if they filmed more that similar to the original book but it was edited out because it became a vanity project for Blake and Colleen. I know I sound like a hater but I’m not going to watch this film because of the author, not because of the cast drama - it’s possible this could all be manufactured to get people to talk about it because the film is good but not great. Regardless, I appreciate your videos covering this! Tbh I look forward to your videos more than the projects, so much is hit or miss 😅
I don't really see it as a problem. It's not the first time people in Hollywood help their partners out with projects. She also helped him with Deadpool too. Plus it was just one scene. What I did find weird was the promo video he did with Brandon b
@@ayomidedareabel5525the difference with Deadpool is that the creator of the comic book character said that Lady Deadpool was inspired by Blake Lively before Ryan and her married, so it was kind of fate that made that happen. Having him contribute writing on a project because they’re married is common when someone is actually credited but he wasn’t, at least according to the interview.
I agree with you, I'm team "no side" and I haven't been keeping up with the gossip but the vibe I'm getting is people adore Blake and Ryan and if something seriously unprofessional happened on Justin's side I think it would've come out but these 2 are high profile celebs and i wouldn't be surprised if they tried taking over the project and that's where there was a clash
THANK GOODNESS the film director and production team cut the whole Ellen and just keep swimming thing. That whole concept was so young adult it drove me insane.
I just saw it. Wrt therapy, after the crib scene, I was disgusted by her husband when he said he would get help of she took him back. NO, no doc, you don't get to ask to come back until AFTER your therapy.
@@TheLucyannaVIP it actually wasn’t there was a blonde woman ( can’t remember her name, I assume one of the writers) who specifically said she wrote it on the red carpet. I think it was Access Hollywood video. Ryan may have helped but it’s not right to take full credit.
Agree with you on that 1st incident. I never read the book so i didnt know that context but the depiction left it open as more of an accident than an attack like the book. The stair incident did feel intentional and i had no clue she was injured until the hospital scene for the 3rd. I was very confused throughout it. Im not subjecting myself to Hoover writing so appreciate you breaking down the differences
@LadyJenevia not your fault at all! I'd seen a few reviews before yours. It's just icky subject matter for me personally. So now that I've seen your video, I think I'm good. 😆
Fantastic timing because every time I open Twitter, I'm inundated with people's speculations about what's going on with that cast. You interact with 1 or 2... maybe 10 tweets and the almighty algorithm thinks you're obsessed... 🙄
Personally it showed too little of the "bad" side of ryle. So much so that I don't see him as abusive at all... They tiptoed around it so much that in the end I was on his side rather on the florists.
@@SixIsSickOG didn't actually show that Tbh. First one so messy that looks like an accident. Other fade to black also hard to know what "memory" was the correct one. The third didn't actually show him bite her. Would really think this need more honesty - and honesty is often uglier than this + done with malice and and anger and intent. This was a bit too sensitive imo.
fr? the rooftop scene made me almost walk out of the movie (i made it an hour into the film i couldn’t do anymore.) it was slow and dragged and the pacing was terrible. The writing was some of the worst dialogue i’ve ever seen, and blake lively did not play a believable character. I’ve never read the book, so i don’t have any comparison, but if this zooms through the story god i don’t want to know how slow the book is
I did not enjoy the book at all so my perspective for the film was that it was an improvement by comparison. I don’t know how my feedback would have been if I just went in without the source material in mind. 😂🤷🏻♀️
@@LadyJenevia oh yikes, yeah i absolutely dislike her writing style. from what i know i can see why people are saying that the movie is an improvement on the books. Other than the casting and acting choices of blake lively. My main complaint of the movie was her. And after learning that the character of lily was 23 in the book i think that the actress playing the younger version should have just been lily.
As an individual with NVLD, I may not be able to discern the nuances of abuse in this film. Perhaps the abuse portrayed is of a more subtle nature, which I struggle to perceive due to my difficulty in reading subtle messages and cues. However, I do empathize with Justin, despite this being my first encounter with his story. Strangely, I find myself immediately drawn to him in a positive light. I personally can’t jump in conclusions on Blake’s side as she might have NVLD, there are many times NVLD people are accused of a lot of negative actions when really we don’t see it IF IT’S MORE SUBTLE. but if that’s not the case for Blake, then she may be a true bully, even if I don’t see it, due to again having NVLD, having NVLD is like metaphorically being blind, but it’s your intuition that’s blind, you can’t see the subtle messages others can see.
This particular story would have made more sense if she were much younger-perhaps she could have inherited money after her father died. The confident, naive character we see in the flashbacks could then gradually become trapped in an abusive relationship, as Ryle, being older and more financially successful, slowly erodes her confidence and makes her dependent on him. The reconnection with Atlas would have also felt more natural, as only a few years would have passed.
So I know it is a French movie, adapted from a French book, but the Count of Monte Cristo just had an amazing adaptation, and I really think that you should check it out
I think it would have been great to show Ryle _also_ with a history of generational abuse - it would show how the cycle _didn't_ end with him, and he instead came to perpetrate exactly what he saw. Why give him such a random tragic backstory?
@@wearesatellites91 oh, I certainly agree. I'm merely saying that it would have been an interesting parallel. The other option I was going to suggest was not explaining why he was abusive at all - truthfully (and I'd even say often), you will never understand why someone treats you poorly or abuses you. There are usually precipitating events but whether you learn those is a very different question. Also, many people use history as a _justification_ - while it maybe an _explanation_ for an abuser acts so, it is never an _excuse_ . It's just an odd choice for a background, in my opinion, and the message of the book/movie could have been made better by altering it.
Funny Story here - I never read a Collen Hoover book and in my country she is not so talked about like in the USA. So when the movie first come out and I saw so many American TikToks loving her what did this bookworm wanted to do? Read the book before watching the movie. So my cheap ass went to every Library in my city and this book was no were available because some silly reasons. When I went to my favourite library to bring my books back I ended up by the woman who I asked first and asked again. She then told me the news that the one they got was in some kind of big storage and asking for it would in the end cost more then buying the book or a ticket for the movie. That was the moment we decided some greater force tried everything possible to stop me and after watching your video - I am thankful I listened.😂
I saw the movie today and I thought I was watching something on Lifetime, Hallmark or Netflix. I literally said to myself “Uh… this is a feature film? Why???” 😂😂
Impromptu sleepover can happen lol. I can’t tell you why I know but yes skincare is important lol. I do think the actors look well cast. Justin I know from Jane the Virgin can play charm but also anger issues which are in the extreme for Ryles. I know she gets mixed reviews but I always liked Blake since Sister Hood of Traveling Pants and she looks to be playing pretty solid Atlas looks pretty good in the trailer but I’ll say more when I see the movie
watched the video because I read the book and saw the movie - subscribed because of the Raven Baxter reference and the point about Lily washing her makeup off😂👏
I just applied my retinol last night. I wear SPF every day. The idea of sleeping in a full face of night-time make-up at someone else's place? A NIGHTMARE. 😂
I am not going to really look into the feud. I just want to look at as a movie adaptation and it looks really solid and yeah I am glad they didn’t make the abuse scenes to graphic. I think showing the flashbacks with Atlas first is a great idea I do wish they do show more of their time together in the present
Genuine question: what are the ethical questions involving actors performing a DA scene? From where I'm standing, it's similar to acting in violent or emotionally difficult scenes, correct me if I'm wrong or if I'm missing something. They are professionals, they get paid and more importantly they know what it is asked of them when they agree to a role. In this case, furthermore, the main thing of the book they're called to adapt is partner violence. I get that these scenes should be filmed in a way that the content is impactful but not gratuitous, but from an actors perspective I didn't think there was a problem. In fact, an actress who's been doing the most challenging roles involving sexual violence for decades, Isabelle huppert, has been on the record denying any affect of the material on her psyche, as it is... acting. I realize not everyone must share that view, but if it's a problem for actors I would like more conversation and information
girrrrrl, tangent from video itself - whenever I watch a new youtuber, I get 'guilted' immediately with 'if you're new here... subscribe, 90 percent of my viewers ARENT SUBBED so like, comment, share, subscribe' and I'm like.... dude I haven't seen you DO anything yet? stahp? but YOU QUEEN, just didn't, so I will infact like share comment and sub
I MEAN, I have said that in other videos. 🙈😂 The like/comment/sub is a fairly standard outro for anyone with a channel but I’ve only very recently started saying it less regularly. 😆🤷🏻♀️
@@LadyJenevia I dont mind it on an outro cause I've seen the content by then so its all good, it only does my head in when its before any content is shown :')
Blake Lively bamboozled everyone with a bait and switch marketing plan for this movie. I love watching Booktube so I knew about the book but not the entire scope of the DV involved. How anyone thought this movie was a rom com after seeing the trailer is beyond me. I literally saw a few scenes in it with Ryle throwing her around and realized this was going to be intense. I saw the trailer on UA-cam. I am happy for Blake and Ms Hoover for their success but I will wait for streaming. 😊
I honestly thought that it was a romance film. I am not really a fan of CH but knew that she is predominantly a romance author and seeing Blakes interviews with the “romantic” clips really gave false marketing. I had no idea the context until all the PR news yesterday 🤦♀️
I liked the movie . Blake is a good actress and she is charistmatic and so are the other actors too! But, the plot really was choppy and gave us rushed pieces without taking the time and depth. I do feel a bit cheated out of an exceptional movie versus a good movie.
The whole "Team" thing is as toxic and dirty as when people and the media villainize Britney Spears without knowing ANYTHING about what's going on in her life. Note, that Blake wore a Britney Spears dress at the premiere.
I didn't watch or read this book because I don't feel comfy supporting Colleen Hoover but I do like hearing people talk about her books/ the movie. All that to say I don't know the drama with the cast? What happened with that?
@@lilianaledesma7254 Basically people noticed that none of the cast was following Justin Baldoni. Then every time he came up during the carpet interviews the all the other cast members would redirect the questions. So people started noticing that he was only one talking about the core themes of the movie one of them being Domestic Violence. On the carpet interviews most of Blake Lively is talking about her husband, Wolverine and Deadpool, and barely anything about the serious topics that are depicted in the movie. Justin who is not only in the movie but the direct was allegedly butting heads with Blake Lively on how to movie should go. We also find out Ryan Reynolds’ writes a scene in the movie. So Justin Baldoni had a screening of his version of the movie and it had great reviews but because of Blake and Ryan star power (allegedly) their cut of the movie was the one that got put into the theatres. And a couple of days ago Justin was asked if he’ll do a sequel and he said “I think there are better people for that one. I think Blake Lively’s ready to direct. That’s what I think.” (This is a direct quote)
Great video, as per usual! 🤩💖 I love it every time you mention the issues with Bridgerton Season 3. 😍 And you are right! It is upsetting to think that this film adaptation is somehow doing a better job in that scene with the non-endgame “couple” (in which the guy is violent!😦) than the ACTUAL endgame couple in the main ROMANCE show of the moment! Not to sound dramatic, but I will never forgive Netflix for how dirty they did Penelope and Colin’s book! 🥲😂 Lots of love from Rome🫶🏻💕

In an interview they asked Both how they prepared and the younger actress said they talked 2 times… It SHOWS.

yes! Blake lively was playing Blake lively. I noticed that too and her "adult" life made no sense and did not seem like a real person.
@@enidavezelaj766 Agree. The life made no sense.. Even the rooftop scene which Ryan reynolds allegedly wrote..

@@servedinawinkphotography Such good acting. and great chemistry on both young actors.. would have watched an entire movie on those two… it was so good.
I love younger actor
I'm actually okay with ryle not being shown to be explicitly alcoholic BC i think its an important message for people to know that its not always dead obvious who will be an abuser. I think it helps you put yourself in lilys position easier bc it prevents ppl being able to say, oh well i just simply wouldnt go for someone like that in the first place and i think that would be lost if ryle had an obvious red flag to most of alcoholism
Love your videos btw - Benedict is my fave too lol
He definitely had other red flags but the characterisation felt all over the place to me when I read the book (in a way where things didn't make sense) and after I read the note from the author saying she modelled him after her alcoholic father, that's when his behaviour actually made sense to me.
I agree with this, that would be a really interesting way to tell the story and have a great message (you don't always know / this is how you end up in this situation). But it seems like this wasnt an intentional approach, in the book at least?
It's also not dead obvious who will become an alcoholic. Like maybe they rarely drink when you meet them...you also can't always predict that someone will become an addict.
For clothing. I didn't get why lily had expensive clothes when she just open a flower shop. Unless she comes with money but that took me away a bit
I thought the same thing .. diamond ysl boots , when in the book she was portrayed as simple and getting used pregnancy designer clothes from her sister in laws closet .
Because Blake wanted to be the IT fashion girly.
Because some of the clothes were Blakes or from her friends🫠
Exactly! I saw the movie today and that scene where Blake is prancing around in her incredibly gorgeous and expensive outfit and boots at a party… was all about Blake’s ego and showing off.
I haven’t read the book yet, but from what I’ve heard… Lily is supposed to seem a bit more humble than that.
Colleen apparently made her tiktok account private or something, but a friend of mine told me that it was because people were bringing up this thing about her son being involved in S/A and her blaming the victim. Her videos were flooding with it.
It is disgusting. And I can't stand people who talk about this movie as if it was romantic. It's about abuse, are ya'll alright?
Thank you . The movie down played it so much and made it more of a love Story . Let part two be the love story , part one needed those important scenes from the book to make a true impact . This movie was meh
It’s probably about BOTH issues. The son and the movie. She is smart to hide.
Perfect timing. Closing & had something to watch/listen to! Also there was no chance of me watching this one(not a fan of the author) so thanks for the breakdown of the filming techniques used!
Yay! 😂🫶🏻
I tend to see A LOT of films because I'm highly interested in the medium, my monthly movie pass gives me the room to see A LOT of releases if I choose to do so (without having to pay more than the cost of the pass itself), sometimes I see a film without having high expectations for it and end up being surprised in a good way, and also because I want/need to review new releases on here.
I knew it was a controversial work of fiction but I'm completely serious when I say I have seen SO MUCH WORSE this year. It's not the type of story I would have an interest in revisiting recreationally but it wasn't a chore to review, especially within the framework of what I had already put together for my previous It Ends With Us video. 🤷🏻♀️🧐
@@LadyJenevia Melissa Benoist was my fancast since she suffered real abuse from her previous partner
I found the book very cringe and meandering, but seeing the film in a packed theater (half of which clearly went into it without having read the book) it was so fascinating to see how the story played out like how they were so drawn to Ryle, even excited by the proposal, until they slowly hated him. It wasn’t an immediate switch.
I liked how the characters wore their outfits more than once, but why was Lily a walking ad for designer brands? The Valentino bag, the YSL boots, the red bottoms. I hated that it implied she was so well off without him, when part of maybe being stuck in that relationship is a well-off neurosurgeon lifestyle. That’s not to say women who stand on their own two feet financially aren’t susceptible to DV, but in this narrative it just seemed like a product plug doing a disservice to the story.
So glad Ellen was forgotten about, unless they got to point out how her childhood idol isn’t an angel too lol.
Meanwhile I was making audible groans, scoffs, and other noises of disdain any time Ryle would do... more or less, anything. 😂
I assumed that Lily was dressed up because Blake Lively is interested in fashion (and she is very well-off so she would feel inclined to pull from her own wardrobe and connections for those reasons). I didn't read as far into that because I assumed the choice to dress Lily up was more so about creating a visually pleasing image (in a visual medium of storytelling) more than a 'literal' statement about Lily's finances but I completely understand your point about the clothes. I'm also not entirely sure about the exact financial breakdown for wardrobe in the film budget because even though the clothes Lily wears are more expensive, if Blake is wearing clothes she already has, it wouldn't impact the budget of the film the way it would to pay people who work in that department to gather/purchase/sew an original wardrobe. 🤔✂️🛍💳👠🪡🧵
@@LadyJenevia I sat beside someone who kept telling me how “cute” the movie was. That was awkward. As much as I knew to hate Ryle, Atlas was also too unbelievable. I haven’t read it and have no clue what kind of conflict could exist in the sequel with someone so perfectly pleasant.
I don’t remember Lily being so financially stable in the book, or fashion-focused, so it’s definitely a choice for product placement that these brands are wanting their in, especially through an actor who sells fashion well. But the heavily logo items or close up shots were just so obnoxious. It worked for Gossip Girl, not for this. And putting them on Blake’s character instead of on Jenny Slate’s or Justin Baldoni’s (because putting them on the bad guy would negatively impact sales) just tells me it was about pushing the products and not logic toward the characters in them. But this is marketed toward women, so they know what they’re doing there.
Imagine watching this movie and now you want those lipstick heels, instead of being aware of any DV resources (I learned nothing in that regard) other than hoping you have a conveniently angelic ex boyfriend, as a takeaway.
@@lidaloo263 Who exactly do they believe has the amount of disposable income to buy that clothing? In this economy? People can’t afford housing, they’re not thinking about buying clothes or shoes that cost hundreds or thousands per item. 😬
@lida4747 Probably the first time in my life that I experienced a movie to be better than the book. First half was just annoying - basically both being horny af and nothing else, no conversations, no action - but the second half was really good. Loved Baldoni's acting.
@@LadyJenevia I agree. Just paying necessities.
I don't support the author so I'm not watching the film. I was surprised Blake accepted this role as a self-proclaimed feminist. 😅
@@LadyVenVen she held her wedding at a plantation with slave quarters so... not super intersectionally feminist lol
@@LadyVenVen funny enough she’s not she promotes in an interview the love as a romance like girl get the fk out of here 😟😍😐
@LadyVenVen I've only heard of the film/ book today, so my question is of pure curiosity... why do you not support the author?
@@isabellae.238 Because of the way she handled the allegations against her son taking advantage of a 16 yo girl. It was messy and her fans asked her to talk and stop gaslighting the victim. She just blocked a bunch of comments. Ignored all the evidence and the screenshots of her son and the girls conversation.
After we agreed as fans to stop buying her book then she decided to make an announcement. By this point it was too late. The worse part was that everything was deleted. The only thing you can find about the whole situation is that she apologized in her fb group.
I have met her in person and was actually her friend on fb but I couldn’t support her after that and the whole clean up they did. It was the first time I had followed a drama because I really loved her books, I grew up reading them and would save every penny to buy them. I never thought you could clean something up and make it seem like it never existed.
Also, the girl didn’t publish it online first she went to Colleen. But Colleen never responded. After she kept waiting only to get read receipts then she published it publicly.
I don’t like to jump on SA allegations but like I said I was just watching it unfold and saw first hand how Colleen just ignored it. Her apology saying I didn’t see it, while we watched people get blocked and comments disappear was an insult to her fans intelligence.
However, after booktook started she just blew up again.
@@isabellae.238 all of her books romanticize abuse. They are in the romance genre...but there is abuse in all of them (correct me if I am wrong...I am just stating what I learned from others). Making it sexy...even the director said he loved it because it was a sexy story. Dumb. And her son asked a kid for a dirty pic when he was an adult and she didn't do anything...like I don't know...call the cops...when the girl tried to tell her. Parents need to call the cops if they have pedophiles as children. Then you have Blake L. acting like you can just shake off abuse....like it is just a thing you can get rid of and move on to normalcy. Sure with like a decade of therapy and a high potential for anxiety, PTSD, and depression in most cases. But they just shrug it off like it doesn't have a lasting effect. This is essentially telling men it is okay to abuse women and women if it happens it is no biggy...cause you can just move on. It is the same as when HBO would put rape in every single show and call it sex.....or make excuses for why it was in every show. They were trying to make it sexy...which gives men a horrible view of women and what we can handle..because it isn't a big deal. Writers need to actually write what this kind of violence is really like afterward, during, and the actual effects...but they don't it's always some romanticized thing...and never a massive deal. And finally, we have the fact that nothing is going to end with them...because there were no consequences for what he did...so he will just do it again...and probably to his kid. You can't just leave with the kid and end things.....the fear follows you (I have lived in Airbnbs with my kid for 6 years, just in case I have to leave quick...believe me I know....I am always ready to disappear...that is the reality).
Thanks for this video. I have read the books, and I'm in two minds as to whether I should watch the film. One thing that I never could get past was that in the backstory, Ryle and Allysa's parents are depicted as being nice, normal people in the narrative, yet, one of them left a gun lying around in the presence of a young child, and it's never called out as being irresponsible. Also, Allysa encourages Ryle's relationship with Lily, despite being aware of how violent her brother is, yet she names her baby after him after he repeatedly abused her best friend.
@@trinaq I’m not sure how you’ll feel, i wasn’t a big fan of the book, not the story, I think That’s important but the writing is ugh lol but the movie to me was a lot better. It was done well and the movie fixed some of the cringe quotes from the book lol but kept the rare good ones haha
Yeah the book was RIDDLED with other details I didn't like. Lily saying that Ryle made her promise right before they get married that she'll always vote but that he doesn't care who she votes for. The fact that she never once thinks/talks through whether or not she wants to keep the pregnancy from an abusive man (I'm less picky about the outcome of her choice but to not CONTEMPLATE the options after the 'vote for whomever as long as you're voting' thing was... something). There's more than this but since I've finished my videos I can already feel my brain checking out of retaining as many of the details (without me checking my notes) since the projects are completed. 🤭
People often excuse abusers...especially the loved ones, like there is shame and desperation to patch things.
Justin did an amazing job at bringing awareness to domestic violence abuse. It's a very real and important issue !! Not a romantic movie but real life drama!!
What is up with the terrible names, right? I was never going to watch the movie or read the book, this is not my kind of story, but I love your videos, so I watched both of the ones for this book/movie. What I've noticed with these kinds of stories is the guys seem to have weird names you would never see in real life. I just don't get the reasoning but it gives "she's not like other girls".
HER FULL NAME IS LILY BLOSSOM BLOOM AND SHE LOVES FLOWERS AND OPENS A FLORAL SHOP. It's about as subtle as a shoe being thrown directly at your face. 🤪😂
@@LadyJenevia OMG, that's just amazingly bad 🤣
this is just how Colleen Hoover names her characters...like the dude's name is Ryle like "rile" make (someone) annoyed or irritated.
colleen doesn't know how to be subtle...
I find it very strange that people are selecting “a team” with the media stuff happening with this project, specifically about Justin not being included or even referenced by the rest of the cast. I have a problem with the fact that Ryan Reynolds wrote a scene, the rooftop scene, according to an answer Blake shared which is making me think that they tried (and succeeded) to make the project their vision. I wouldn’t be surprised if they filmed more that similar to the original book but it was edited out because it became a vanity project for Blake and Colleen. I know I sound like a hater but I’m not going to watch this film because of the author, not because of the cast drama - it’s possible this could all be manufactured to get people to talk about it because the film is good but not great. Regardless, I appreciate your videos covering this! Tbh I look forward to your videos more than the projects, so much is hit or miss 😅
I don't really see it as a problem. It's not the first time people in Hollywood help their partners out with projects. She also helped him with Deadpool too. Plus it was just one scene. What I did find weird was the promo video he did with Brandon b
@@ayomidedareabel5525the difference with Deadpool is that the creator of the comic book character said that Lady Deadpool was inspired by Blake Lively before Ryan and her married, so it was kind of fate that made that happen. Having him contribute writing on a project because they’re married is common when someone is actually credited but he wasn’t, at least according to the interview.
I agree with you, I'm team "no side" and I haven't been keeping up with the gossip but the vibe I'm getting is people adore Blake and Ryan and if something seriously unprofessional happened on Justin's side I think it would've come out but these 2 are high profile celebs and i wouldn't be surprised if they tried taking over the project and that's where there was a clash
Changing the aspect ratio in a flashback is always a good option
THANK YOU! I appreciate the validation. 😂
THANK GOODNESS the film director and production team cut the whole Ellen and just keep swimming thing. That whole concept was so young adult it drove me insane.
I just saw it. Wrt therapy, after the crib scene, I was disgusted by her husband when he said he would get help of she took him back. NO, no doc, you don't get to ask to come back until AFTER your therapy.
The roof scene was written by Blake’s husband Ryan Reynolds
@@TheLucyannaVIP and that roof scene was not what it was cracked up to be. It was meh!
@@sideeyeenergy8648 exactly they made such a big deal but there was nothing special about it . Nothing compared to the book
@@TheLucyannaVIP it actually wasn’t there was a blonde woman ( can’t remember her name, I assume one of the writers) who specifically said she wrote it on the red carpet. I think it was Access Hollywood video. Ryan may have helped but it’s not right to take full credit.
didn’t the screenwriter come out and say they were the one who actually wrote that scene ?
@@realestsienna yes she did.
Eyeshadow is flawless ❤
Thank you so much! 🥹🙋🏻♀️
Agree with you on that 1st incident. I never read the book so i didnt know that context but the depiction left it open as more of an accident than an attack like the book. The stair incident did feel intentional and i had no clue she was injured until the hospital scene for the 3rd. I was very confused throughout it. Im not subjecting myself to Hoover writing so appreciate you breaking down the differences
I can't believe I never knew until a day ago this was a DV story. 😬 I will not be engaging further.
Oop! I thought everyone knew already! 😆
@LadyJenevia not your fault at all! I'd seen a few reviews before yours. It's just icky subject matter for me personally. So now that I've seen your video, I think I'm good. 😆
Fantastic timing because every time I open Twitter, I'm inundated with people's speculations about what's going on with that cast. You interact with 1 or 2... maybe 10 tweets and the almighty algorithm thinks you're obsessed... 🙄
The oven incident seemed to me on the first "version " and seemed like an accident. So i was like oh that's okay, i guess ...
Which is exactly what abuse victims do! At first, it's an accident, a misunderstanding, not that bad... Until you realize what it actually was.
Lilly Bloom? Is she a Wix character?
Personally it showed too little of the "bad" side of ryle. So much so that I don't see him as abusive at all... They tiptoed around it so much that in the end I was on his side rather on the florists.
The film or the book or both?
@@LadyJenevia film
@@Lof_Lof- they show him hit her and bite her and throw her down the steps in the movie though man
@@SixIsSickOG didn't actually show that Tbh. First one so messy that looks like an accident. Other fade to black also hard to know what "memory" was the correct one. The third didn't actually show him bite her. Would really think this need more honesty - and honesty is often uglier than this + done with malice and and anger and intent. This was a bit too sensitive imo.
@@Lof_Lof- watch it again man they show it , it’s fast but there
fr? the rooftop scene made me almost walk out of the movie (i made it an hour into the film i couldn’t do anymore.) it was slow and dragged and the pacing was terrible. The writing was some of the worst dialogue i’ve ever seen, and blake lively did not play a believable character. I’ve never read the book, so i don’t have any comparison, but if this zooms through the story god i don’t want to know how slow the book is
I did not enjoy the book at all so my perspective for the film was that it was an improvement by comparison. I don’t know how my feedback would have been if I just went in without the source material in mind. 😂🤷🏻♀️
@@LadyJenevia oh yikes, yeah i absolutely dislike her writing style. from what i know i can see why people are saying that the movie is an improvement on the books. Other than the casting and acting choices of blake lively. My main complaint of the movie was her. And after learning that the character of lily was 23 in the book i think that the actress playing the younger version should have just been lily.
As an individual with NVLD, I may not be able to discern the nuances of abuse in this film. Perhaps the abuse portrayed is of a more subtle nature, which I struggle to perceive due to my difficulty in reading subtle messages and cues. However, I do empathize with Justin, despite this being my first encounter with his story. Strangely, I find myself immediately drawn to him in a positive light. I personally can’t jump in conclusions on Blake’s side as she might have NVLD, there are many times NVLD people are accused of a lot of negative actions when really we don’t see it IF IT’S MORE SUBTLE. but if that’s not the case for Blake, then she may be a true bully, even if I don’t see it, due to again having NVLD, having NVLD is like metaphorically being blind, but it’s your intuition that’s blind, you can’t see the subtle messages others can see.
This particular story would have made more sense if she were much younger-perhaps she could have inherited money after her father died. The confident, naive character we see in the flashbacks could then gradually become trapped in an abusive relationship, as Ryle, being older and more financially successful, slowly erodes her confidence and makes her dependent on him. The reconnection with Atlas would have also felt more natural, as only a few years would have passed.
So I know it is a French movie, adapted from a French book, but the Count of Monte Cristo just had an amazing adaptation, and I really think that you should check it out
I think it would have been great to show Ryle _also_ with a history of generational abuse - it would show how the cycle _didn't_ end with him, and he instead came to perpetrate exactly what he saw. Why give him such a random tragic backstory?
@@wearesatellites91 oh, I certainly agree. I'm merely saying that it would have been an interesting parallel. The other option I was going to suggest was not explaining why he was abusive at all - truthfully (and I'd even say often), you will never understand why someone treats you poorly or abuses you. There are usually precipitating events but whether you learn those is a very different question. Also, many people use history as a _justification_ - while it maybe an _explanation_ for an abuser acts so, it is never an _excuse_ . It's just an odd choice for a background, in my opinion, and the message of the book/movie could have been made better by altering it.
From what I gather about this film it's a mix between a 90s JLo film, a dark hallmark movie and Sex and the City.
Thank you!! ❤❤
Thank you so much for watching! 🤭🫶🏻
Funny Story here - I never read a Collen Hoover book and in my country she is not so talked about like in the USA.
So when the movie first come out and I saw so many American TikToks loving her what did this bookworm wanted to do?
Read the book before watching the movie.
So my cheap ass went to every Library in my city and this book was no were available because some silly reasons.
When I went to my favourite library to bring my books back I ended up by the woman who I asked first and asked again. She then told me the news that the one they got was in some kind of big storage and asking for it would in the end cost more then buying the book or a ticket for the movie.
That was the moment we decided some greater force tried everything possible to stop me and after watching your video - I am thankful I listened.😂
Great analysis
I saw the movie today and I thought I was watching something on Lifetime, Hallmark or Netflix.
I literally said to myself “Uh… this is a feature film? Why???” 😂😂
The only redeeming thing is the hot men & floral shop tbh😢 I would live in that floral shop if I could
Impromptu sleepover can happen lol. I can’t tell you why I know but yes skincare is important lol. I do think the actors look well cast. Justin I know from Jane the Virgin can play charm but also anger issues which are in the extreme for Ryles. I know she gets mixed reviews but I always liked Blake since Sister Hood of Traveling Pants and she looks to be playing pretty solid
Atlas looks pretty good in the trailer but I’ll say more when I see the movie
Impromptu sleepovers can happen as long as you have an emergency bag in the car (which contains skincare) like I do!
watched the video because I read the book and saw the movie - subscribed because of the Raven Baxter reference and the point about Lily washing her makeup off😂👏
Much appreciated! 😂🙋🏻♀️🔮🚿🧴
lol skincare routine. Yes!
I just applied my retinol last night. I wear SPF every day. The idea of sleeping in a full face of night-time make-up at someone else's place? A NIGHTMARE. 😂
WHEN DID IT COME OUT LOL
This weekend! 😂
I am not going to really look into the feud. I just want to look at as a movie adaptation and it looks really solid and yeah I am glad they didn’t make the abuse scenes to graphic. I think showing the flashbacks with Atlas first is a great idea I do wish they do show more of their time together in the present
I was disappointed that present time Atlas got so little screen time, there was too much focus on the love story with the abusive husband imho
Her favorite author 😭
Genuine question: what are the ethical questions involving actors performing a DA scene? From where I'm standing, it's similar to acting in violent or emotionally difficult scenes, correct me if I'm wrong or if I'm missing something. They are professionals, they get paid and more importantly they know what it is asked of them when they agree to a role. In this case, furthermore, the main thing of the book they're called to adapt is partner violence. I get that these scenes should be filmed in a way that the content is impactful but not gratuitous, but from an actors perspective I didn't think there was a problem. In fact, an actress who's been doing the most challenging roles involving sexual violence for decades, Isabelle huppert, has been on the record denying any affect of the material on her psyche, as it is... acting. I realize not everyone must share that view, but if it's a problem for actors I would like more conversation and information
girrrrrl, tangent from video itself -
whenever I watch a new youtuber, I get 'guilted' immediately with 'if you're new here... subscribe, 90 percent of my viewers ARENT SUBBED so like, comment, share, subscribe' and I'm like.... dude I haven't seen you DO anything yet? stahp?

The like/comment/sub is a fairly standard outro for anyone with a channel but I’ve only very recently started saying it less regularly. 😆🤷🏻♀️
@@LadyJenevia I dont mind it on an outro cause I've seen the content by then so its all good, it only does my head in when its before any content is shown :')
Blake Lively bamboozled everyone with a bait and switch marketing plan for this movie. I love watching Booktube so I knew about the book but not the entire scope of the DV involved. How anyone thought this movie was a rom com after seeing the trailer is beyond me. I literally saw a few scenes in it with Ryle throwing her around and realized this was going to be intense. I saw the trailer on UA-cam. I am happy for Blake and Ms Hoover for their success but I will wait for streaming. 😊
I honestly thought that it was a romance film. I am not really a fan of CH but knew that she is predominantly a romance author and seeing Blakes interviews with the “romantic” clips really gave false marketing. I had no idea the context until all the PR news yesterday 🤦♀️
I liked the movie . Blake is a good actress and she is charistmatic and so are the other actors too! But, the plot really was choppy and gave us rushed pieces without taking the time and depth. I do feel a bit cheated out of an exceptional movie versus a good movie.
@@shannonbrown560 I completely agree!!!!! That’s exactly how I felt 🙏🏽
I'm not reading this stupid book or watching the movie. I'll go see a documentary on the seriousness of the issue.
The whole "Team" thing is as toxic and dirty as when people and the media villainize Britney Spears without knowing ANYTHING about what's going on in her life. Note, that Blake wore a Britney Spears dress at the premiere.
I didn't watch or read this book because I don't feel comfy supporting Colleen Hoover but I do like hearing people talk about her books/ the movie. All that to say I don't know the drama with the cast? What happened with that?
@@lilianaledesma7254 Basically people noticed that none of the cast was following Justin Baldoni. Then every time he came up during the carpet interviews the all the other cast members would redirect the questions. So people started noticing that he was only one talking about the core themes of the movie one of them being Domestic Violence. On the carpet interviews most of Blake Lively is talking about her husband, Wolverine and Deadpool, and barely anything about the serious topics that are depicted in the movie. Justin who is not only in the movie but the direct was allegedly butting heads with Blake Lively on how to movie should go. We also find out Ryan Reynolds’ writes a scene in the movie. So Justin Baldoni had a screening of his version of the movie and it had great reviews but because of Blake and Ryan star power (allegedly) their cut of the movie was the one that got put into the theatres. And a couple of days ago Justin was asked if he’ll do a sequel and he said “I think there are better people for that one. I think Blake Lively’s ready to direct. That’s what I think.” (This is a direct quote)
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Leave Nemo out of this lol
Yeah Colleen Hoover is a trip… the film was much better
Great video, as per usual! 🤩💖 I love it every time you mention the issues with Bridgerton Season 3. 😍 And you are right! It is upsetting to think that this film adaptation is somehow doing a better job in that scene with the non-endgame “couple” (in which the guy is violent!😦) than the ACTUAL endgame couple in the main ROMANCE show of the moment! Not to sound dramatic, but I will never forgive Netflix for how dirty they did Penelope and Colin’s book! 🥲😂
