I haven't read the books or watched the movie but from my understanding, the Pretties are supposed to look almost alien and it's a shame the movie didn't lean into that overly plastic, uncanny aesthetic. The look they have is very achievable and I thought the point was to be freaked out over the unnecessary transformations these people go through to reach the current, ever evolving expectation of what society deems beautiful. I'm definitely interested in reading the series because I think it does provide some interesting social commentary, although it's not without its own criticisms of course (we don't have to address the racist elephant in the room right now) but it seems to at least be a fun read. Great video though! I do appreciate the side by side comparisons of the book versus the movie and I don't mind being spoiled because I didn't really care to read it before watching this.
@@Meme_Lord__ I’ll be curious to hear your thoughts on the series, especially when you get to the third book and it goes even further with surgeries and aesthetics!
Not book accurate at all, try first 24 pages, and who cares on kid tally. Back story we didn't need was wrong, gold eyes was wrong, spying on new pretty town with glasses never happened and characters and cast were all wrong, you want joey king as tally? Ok she's short at five foot four in so make rest of cast more height variety and for some reason after my rants how bad this is I made self wish Eva green or nell was Dr cable. I'd never do Nell as tally only cuz Nell has played a princess, been in horror movies Dr cable is a sci fiction villain and despite fact Eva green can get type cast, why Dr cable, well look at less popular movies she was in and fact she's been villain in PG 13 rated movie so ..... Oh and in book it just says tally is taller than pretties and wonders if bungee jacket will hold her. Well book doesn't specify more but for joey king to look tall all pretties would need be like five three or shorter, or barring that make cable shorter and have male and female average to tall ppl
