    that scene where demi's character cant seem to get out of the door and doesn't find herself presentable really hit home HARD. This is such a great movie.

    As much as I disliked the last two chapters of this film: I really appreciated how the monster cut out Elisabeth's face from the giant photo, and wore it like a mask. That was the moment she realized she was pretty all along, and shouldn't have taken her natural beauty for granted. But now it's too late. Her fate is sealed.

    The filmography was good. Long hallways and square creepy rooms.
    First hour 1/2 was good. I felt Death becomes her meets Carrie meets The Elephant man.
    Both Demi Moore and Margaret Qualley were fantastic

    I just left the theatre a hour ago and feel like this movie gave me a high. It was a lot and almost too much as I watched it! As it settles with me more though I think I loved it and it might be a masterpiece. It really lands on its themes of aging and the oversexualization of Hollywood in a horror lens.
    Also whoever casted Demi Moore needs an award and a raise. First off she’s still gorgeous but I feel like she’s a victim to this movies message and undeservedly so.

    Ok just throwing my 2 cents , but does anyone feel like maybe there is a chance that if Elisabeth goes on that date, there might be a change of heart and stops the experiment?? Like Sue already had fucked up (finger aging because Sue didn’t respect the 7 day rule ) and Elisabeth gives hints of maybe this might be gone a little too far . But then again , Elisabeth does get a high knowing Sue is her , unfortunately Sue doesn’t feel the same (which is why she’s already broke the rule ). Just found the movie outstanding, although the ending monster scene went on to long and a little rolling eyes but solid 8/10

    I love how Quaid’s character is in the audience seeing this horrific, unbelievable thing take place, and doesn’t even look alarmed or panicked like everyone else because he’s too fucking pissed off that the whole NYE event just blew up in his face - literally and figuratively - in front of the creepy old white dude execs who own his slimy, toxic ass. Great scene, and the one that follows it too: the remaining blob of Elisasue squelching with such determination over to her pink star and finding the last pieces of happiness. Or maybe it’s satisfaction. Brilliant.

  • @ZachDift-kc4nk
    @ZachDift-kc4nk 4 дні тому

    I think the ending is also a commentary on how celebs will often get fillers, Botox, face lifts and cosmetic surgery to the point where at first the public loves them or admires them until there comes a point where the celebs surgeons go too far and suddenly they looked botched. Then suddenly the public will turn on them and ridicule, shame, mock, judge and criticize the celeb.
    It happened in real life with Demi Moore - when she came back into the spotlight with her “new” face after she had gotten a bunch of fat transfers and I think probably a face lift and fillers, people freaked tf out over how she looked in that one modeling show she did where she “debuted” her new face post op.
    People were so cruel in criticizing her and shaming her for “ruining” her face and it became a huge topic of conversation bc she wasnt the only female celeb who went “too” far - female celebs like Madonna also got thrown in the ring. The public was fine with the procedures these women had probably been doing for years until the point where in the public’s opinion, they went too far and then suddenly they became victims of bullying and humiliation by the public.

She would not be the one experiencing the benefit of being young again - she is just serving as a source of energy for the younger woman that was created from her DNA - it's almost like creating a clone instead of the original being made younger- again - it doesn't really seem to benefit the original person

  • @svizac69
    @svizac69 7 днів тому +5

    Major plot hole. One has no idea what the other one is doing. Which makes them totally different people. That's the biggest flaw. If the consciousness was switched from body to body then it would be one person and it would make sense, but the movie needs conflict between them so it disregards it's own plot rule. Demmi Moore's character would never sign up for that deal since ther is no change for her except for the worse.

    • @rgcgful
      @rgcgful 5 днів тому +2

      Elizabeth thought her life was over and in her despair she took a risk... believing or hoping it was the answer. The Substance sounded like a pretty good option... a better version of yourself. So she jumped in with both-feet, though sketchy. Women routinely have sketchy, low-priced, poorly researched surgeries that end in disfigurement. They too believe or hope it will improve their lives.

    • @arrownoir
      @arrownoir День тому +1

      Exactly.
      Sharing a consciousness would have made it more interesting. Seeing that she would be the one actively destroying herself in an attempt to hold on to her youth. It would make for an interesting moral dilemma.
      What they gave us is essentially someone letting someone else hijacking their health and time with zero benefits to them. That’s a horrible deal.
      Plus the organization running this thing doesn’t seem to have any overarching goals. They just give this for free, but what the hell is the end goal for them?
      To that extent, why would the guy even suggest the substance to her? It doesn’t benefit him in any way. So many gaps in logic with this movie, it’s frustrating.

    One critique and one confusing thing:
    The end was a bit off the rails bc in particular the blood spray made the movie take a completely unnecessary comical turn
    The part where the pretty White Girl wakes up and the old version fight each other - so 2 ppl have consciousness at the same time? Would mean two distinct entities then; should’ve redone that part
    Anyways: MOTY 2024!!!!

    • @hispanicattacks4603

      I think it has to do with the fact she almost revived her? Since she didn’t finish that termination process and then instead of injecting the switch to her veins she did it directly into her heart? Idk 😂 definitely agree about the ending though the blood spray was completely unnecessary

    • @arrownoir
      @arrownoir День тому

      The movie made it clear they don’t share a consciousness, even though it sometimes confusingly alluded to it. Neither has any idea what the other is even doing. It’s more accurate to say they share a life force. But aside from that, they’re two completely different beings. Although the movie can’t seem to decide if it’s one or the other.
