I'll be honest: if it wasn't for Florence Pugh, I wouldn't have any interest in this one at all.
Absolutely agree!
Honestly same.
Literally.
Yeah she looks good 😊
She really carried this movie tbh
I think one of the scariest things is that in the original script. Alice didn't even know Jack. He saw her at the hospital and picked her as his chosen wife.
This would have totally worked!
So he kidnapped her.
Damn they should've kept that...
Wow that's even scarier
cite the source please i can;t find this? Lots of different things people said about the script and all i can find is the scenes olivia cut which were of her and harry talking about victory mostly slower scenes but add a lot of context that made the movie better. same with the whole she wakes up and reads her obituary in the paper. there's no info given on that existing in the script to.
When he couldn't make mashed potatoes right, I knew then he was the villain. Legit, no super secret smart person would make mashed potatoes that way
wait can you plz explain? i dont get itt
@shannenbeatrice2088 just look at the way he made the mashed potatoes....
Unless he deliberately botched the potatoes to encourage her to resume her role or he is just an imbecile not having a clue how to make mashed potatoes.
I love Florence Pugh! She is such a fantastic actor and I love the way she just simply exists on screen. The movie was ok but it felt like more of a black mirror episode…
makes me sad to think how much better the creators at black mirror could have done it.
@@readingginbed this
It would be interesting to see some Black Mirror episodes as movie wide adaptations.
Yeah that's exactly what it was. Was hoping for something different
She is genuinely one of the most gifted actresses alive. I'm always impressed by her regardless of whether the movie is good or not.
The hardest thing to believe is he would actually go down on her well enough for her to be willing to trash her kitchen like that.
Lol
Harry Styles is a menace
Bc he had her give in to all his sexual desires as part of his simulation. Remember in the real world when he wanted to she said No she's tired. So he made made it so that she always gave into him now.
Men creating a virtual world where all they do is come home and hang out with their wives is crazy unrealistic too 😂
@@tonybadaboni blasphemy.
This has a strong first half but honestly has an underwhelming ending
I hate when movies or tv series have spooky, mysterious elements throughout that are never explained. To me, that is not only a sign of weak, lazy writing, but also a sign of the writers hoping for a stupid audience not to notice that certain things are never explained. I never watched Lost, but people tell me it's what Lost did.
@@superhotnutjob they thought having Harry Styles would be enough
I'd agree I wanted more
Some interesting concepts, but the delivery blew chunks. The typical reaction is "That's it?". Black Mirror episodes at least give you closure. This was a weak version of a long one.
@Super Hot Nut Job Lost had a season that was pure filler before the final one. The last episode was a huge slap in the face. The first three seasons were exceptionally good though.
I think this concept would haver been way more successful as a limited series. To dive a little deeper into each of the topics introduced later in the movie, and give backstory into the characters to make the audience give a shit about the choices & reveals.
i would love a second movie where alice finds the wives in real life and how the game falls apart once frank is dead would be cool to actually get the details, hopefully flo would work with olivia again
this!!!
True. This is where it would have made a better series than movie. I think a sequel would fail.
Well frank died at the end he got stabbed by his wife so I get your theory but it would be to demolish the frank experiment in all
I would argue the dinner table scene in the best in the film. Florence gives such a chilling performance and the tension is high throughout. Loved her delivery and tone, she acknowledges all the bs and is aware of how ridiculous it all is.
Did they ever explain Peg being pregnant? Was the real-world Peg pregnant? If yes, do they just throw out the real-world baby and give the mother a SIM baby in Victory? And do they just simulate giving birth for the woman?
It seemed like they had some interesting ideas but went about them pretty half-assed (like Shelly killing Frank).
I don’t think she was pregnant. Remember when Alice came back and her “friend” was like “you know Peg? Wife of so and so. She’s been pregnant forever” so I think it was a lie. She was but not in real life
@@TJzWayyy yes i think just as how Bunny had kids in the simulation to forget her crisis, Peg was always pregnant in the simulation due to some part of her backstory we never learn.
Well Peg is always pregnant. They say the simulation can create fake pregnancies and fake children, so that could be the case but with how she is always pregnant I think it’s possible she was pregnant irl when put into the simulation.
I thought maybe Peg couldn't get pregnant in the real world
@@raqueld4899 or had a miscarriage?
The whole "die in the simulation, die for real" thing is the most confusing aspect of this. Why is that even a feature? Wouldn't it make more sense for death NOT to be a factor in an idealized fantasy prison? Make it LITERALLY impossible for the women to escape, even via suicide? Or, y'know, murder their husbands? That feels like a pretty big oversight.
Yeah especially when the whole point is to have the women be playthings for the men, while the men pay for the whole thing. It's not like the Matrix where the machines don't give a damn if humans die because they use the dead humans to sustain the living ones. Imagine how many people would nope out if they knew they could still die in this simulation.
I think because it interupted or shocked the hypnosis
@@jasminazman8901 no its just another lazy plot device to circumvent actual storytelling.
@@ian0143 I heard that hypnosis is not good when interupted.
@@ian0143 did you like the movie?
Thank God you made this. I didn't wanna have to watch the actual movie ngl. I just wanted to know why there was some controversy around it.
The controversy had nothing to do with the movie or the stupid story. It had to do with replacing Shia Leboeuf with the One Direction guy dating either Wilde, or the main actress lady. It was very stupid nothing-controversy.
Obviously, I didn't keep up to date with the controversy, hahaha
Yea, it was just dumb, typical Hollywood drama about who's dating who and the director of the movie having beef with one of the actress. Just basic nonsense but typical media made a big deal about it. Nothing to do with the actual movie.
I guess those controversies are like when video games gets "leaked", folks eat it up and they can't wait to hear more. it makes the movie more interesting without much work.
You made the right move. It was such a predictable bleh
A simple Google search would've helped you long ago.
Just sayin...
I didn't think that he had to pay Frank to be there I think he had to go back to the real world to work like a basic nine to five job to keep their apartment and to take care of/store her body there. So that they could continue to "live" in Victory. And that's what he hated so much. Hence all of the locks on their door. I think he was just paying for them to have a storage place for their bodies while they spent the rest of their time in the VR.
So fuckin dumb when you think about it because he could have gotten that same 9-5 when she was pushing 30 fuckin hours as a surgeon. They could have worked part time had had a lot of real world sex.
Fuckin ridiculous
I wondered this as well. This is why i wanted it to be longer and more fleshed out because I assumed that they were still working for Frank. Maybe doing the kidnapping of the unwilling women. And when they advanced in the simulation they were brought closer in the real world to the organization. He said he hated every minute of the work he did. So it would make sense he was doing something despicable for the victory project.
They just couldn't figure out how to tie the plot together so they said lol incel simulation xD and ended it. What a load of shit
Reminded me of my first duty station in the U.S. Army. 21 years old with a new wife of the same age. Strange seemily idilic small town where the wives were expected to make friends with the other wives and wait dutifully for the husbands to return home. And of course despite all of the accommodations that were provided it was a difficult transition for many starting families
That’s actually what I thought it was going to be about. Like some sort of rehab, therapy program where veterans could feel in control to help their PTSD or other mental issues
This wasn’t Harry Styles’s acting debut, that was Dunkirk (2017)!
Not to mention there’s also Eternals (given its just a post credits scene). But there’s also that other film this year. the policeman? (I think I can’t remember the name)
Yes.
@@tf9241 He can't act.
@@wiinterflowers4277 he’s decent
@@ashtonmcdaniels2934 No he's not. Stop trying to convince me that shit. He sucked ass in the film and I'm sick of Hollyweird shoving him in my face since I saw his untalented hack ass in Eternals!
Funny story when I saw this movie:
My sister and I saw it, we didn't like it because of how needlessly complicated it was executed even though the twist was hella predictable.
Right as the movie ended, a woman who sat a few seats to our left looks right at us (theater was mostly empty and we were in the same row) and blurts out
"That was utter bullshit, I want my money back"
She was the best part of the movie tbh
What were you expecting? A hard applause? Lol
No feminist has ever made anything enjoyable.
Haha I just seen this movie on Netflix and wanted to know what people thought about it.. to me it was confusing but it had so much hype when it came out so I just wanted to see what was up but that’s funny as hell
@@warmarmot1
Exactly this movie is just men r
Bad the movie it completely
Sucked like men 2022.
She knew the movie was lame
What even was the point of the
Film??
The part about him dying in Victory equating to him dying in the real world is an interesting bit. I didn't even catch that plot hole when I watched the movie myself. However, I think the concept of dying in the simulation which causes you to die in the real world, in this movie reminds me of what happened in the first season of Sword Art Online. Essentially, the use of nerve gear (think really fancy and advanced VR headset) allowed them to fully dive into the games and move around seamlessly (like in this movie). However, they end up trapped in the game and if you died in the game you died irl. This was possible because (and don't quote me on this it's been a while since I've watched SAO) the nerve gear was able to connect to their nervous system as it put them in a temporary paralysis to keep their in-game movements from happening outside which could cause injury. So when they died in the game the gear essentially fried their brain resulting in their death in the real world. So long story short, I wonder if that's what they were playing at here but because we were rounding up to the end of the movie they just sort of glossed over how their death in Victory would translate into the real world. But using this logic, you don't have to replicate what killed them in the simulaiton. So even though the dude gets stabbed in the simulation, his physical wounds don't necessarily have to mimic that. He's just dead.
The nerve gear would shock them to death basically. The electricity wasn't properly adjusted so the headset would kill them through static.
YESSSS! THANK YOU FELLOW SAO WATCHER! ALSO, it makes sense for u to die in real life if u die in VR. It's like when u die in ur dreams ur likely to die in ur sleep. That's why the brain wakes u up before u die (like when ur falling but wake up before u hit the ground) if the mind believes ur dead, then it will stop transmitting signals to the heart. The BOOM, ur ded
Or it could be like The Matrix where your consciousness just dies as Morpheus states the body can not live without the mind.
in SAO the headsets had a microwave emitter in them, it would cook the brain if removed or if they died. Really bad way to force the Matrix style of vr.
I’m sure that the story of SAO has an explanation for this terrible design flaw, but god damn do fictional VR companies ever need to invest in quality control.
I didn’t like this movie.. but Florence has always been one of my favorite actors. She’s purely talented. Even a film itself is garbage, her performance will *always* be great.
She’s the pristine, delicious French icing on this dry, bland cake
So much about this film was badly planned. The eggs aren't real, they're empty. But she makes him eggs every single morning. HOW DOES SHE MAKE HIM EGGS IF THE EGGS ARE EMPTY??
I saw a TikTok comment about this question and they stated "eggs are meant to break and fall, not crushed, hence why when she crushed it, the eggs are empty"
The Stepford Wives meets The Twilight Zone. And a little bit of that reboot of Fantasy Island.
More like Black Mirror but yes
Thank you someone noticed the similarities to Stepford Wives. It’s just like how Smile is It Follows meets Truth Or Dare
The Stepford Wives was already very twilight zone-y. If anything, I'd say this is like a crappy copy of The Stepford Wives without the awesome twist.
16:28, you skipped over the creepy part where she sinks back into the water when Jack leaves and one of her reflections is still in the mirror! Maybe telling the audience that something in this “matrix” is going wrong?
I feel like they were trying to make this movie like Stepford Wives meets the Black Mirror episode "U.S.S. Callister". there were so many plotholes in it and things they skipped right over that had no explanation that didn't give it the satisfying ending I was hoping for.
I made a comment above. Stepford Wives original version was truly still chilling.
I think the whole “If you die in the simulation, you die for real” thing is the same as if you die in The Matrix. The machine didn’t cause the wounds but the brain is dead
I loved this movie. I don't care what anyone says. Yes, I agree with all the inconsistencies, like, why didn't they come back to the eggs? That was a cool scene. But! I feel like I picked up what was being put down. It was a beautiful rough draft and I saw its intent and potential. I think it's a great film. ❤
The wife is the creator it’s like hand maids tale 😂 the wife is probably the super genius who created this world to get away from reality and just let him run it. I think that’s why she was so mad at Alice at dinner because the disrespect is really towards her not her husband. That makes the most sense to me at least 🤷🏾♀️
Reminds me of The Stepford Wives (2004 film)
@@reycesarcarino4653 that's what I thought.
Thanks for spoiling hand maids tale :(
Was there any reason to spoil another show? Or you are just like that?
@@birdgey
It’s really not that serious lol. Don’t go on the internet if you don’t want to hear random spoilers.
“Make yourself some chicky nuggies” 😂😂😂 this man is so funny 😂😂😂
Did anyone notice that when she sunk in the tub her reflection remained there, it freaked me out lol 😆
Yeah
I feel like I’m the ONLY person who really liked this movie, it was so good to me.
Not the only one!
I really liked it also but someone else commented this would have been better as a limited series on Netflix,give us more back story on the characters and fix plot holes
I liked it too ! Don't worry you're not the only one 😅
@@Partypooperfanmade YES!!!
I liked it as well. I went the comments and went 😮
Real questions are:
Why is a surgeon working 30 hours stay married to someone like that?
Who was driving the airplane?
What about bathroom uses in the real world?
Yeah there were so many plotholes
Even if the extra bits were to add some, the movie is still kinda just ok in the end
Not amazing but not the worse
I _love_ Florence Pugh as an actress.
Can we all agree that the film's poster (where it just says "welcome to victory" with the plane falling from the sky) looks incredible, mesmerizing and eerie in the best way? 😋
No.
@@GODCONVOYPRIME Then go back to the simulation, you bot 🥴😅
@@GODCONVOYPRIME begone troll
all of your recent comments are complaining about movies that you probably didn’t even watch lol
i thought bunny had said specifically that the “men” who die in here die in the real world. she didn’t say everyone or the women too. i was confused with that.
He also said that Margaret was fine and just needed treatment, so I wonder if he was actually telling the truth with that. Sorta a "half-truth" type of deal.
@@blueismylove3128 I think it goes with the theme of the movie and Victory's "reality" being that it's the men's fantasy of what they want their lives to look like, the women are incidental and can presumably be drugged or adjusted to be more compliant
It applies to everyone in the simulation, that’s why they ensure everyone that it’s safe there . But clearly they didn’t consider women killing their husbands. 🙂
21:30
What in the story has shown her being “made to forget/remember” anything? What’s with the sudden line of questions? Also, they’ve been in Victory for who knows how long and she never asked where any of them met their husbands, had their weddings, or anything like that?
The part about asking her friends where they met their husbands/backstory didn't really make sense to me either. It seems like they'd definitely would have talked about that earlier. Also, she started asking questions because of Margaret and when she went to the desert, that's one of the only things that made sense.
Ah, that perfect balance of being interested in a premise, but really couldn't pay attention to the movie. That's the found flix sweet spot.
wasn’t Harry Styles’ acting debut Dunkirk? I don’t count Eternals because it’s a cameo, but I’m pretty Dunkirk is where Harry first acted
Yup! A lot of people don’t think it “counts” because he doesn’t talk much in it, but it was his debut!
The movie’s biggest problem is that every idea that it has, has been done before and done better in other films. Mainly in the The Stepford Wives
THANK YOU!!! There were at least 2 versions of Stepford Wives…. This seems like a watered down version.
I took the ending with franks wife killing him as if she was in on it and running things along side him on the outside but inside she let him be the face but he screwed things up which is why she killed him lol
There’s an action adventure movie that I love called “the island “ featuring scarlet johannsen and ream mcgregor directed by Michael bay and I feel has really similar themes to this film. Just wanted to give y’all a recommendation in case you’re looking
Off topic but I was thinking it would be so cool to have a hotel resort with different time period themes that fully immerses you into that time with restaurants, clothing and technology being the same like what they did in the simulation. I want to experience the 50s or the 70s.
I never heard of the controversies. Just saw this on Netflix last night and i liked it!
Just like Harry Styles said, this movie… is like a movie.
I came here 2 days ago looking for this review. Its 4:20am right now and I am PUMPED to see it was the very first video UA-cam recommended.
I just finished watching it and it kinda of made me sad, they seemed like they really loved each other. But I know it was very selfish for him to choose that life for her without consenting…
Ending Explained = Recap the whole movie
I remember seeing the trailer and I couldn’t understand why people thought it looked so good so I’m not surprised it didn’t do too good especially after the controversy
What’s the controversy?
I bet you didn’t even watch the film lol. Just going off what people say on the internet
Watch it and have your own opinion
Why can’t sheeple form their own opinions nowadays?
@@wanyekest6969 yeah he's the steeple for not giving pedowood money they didn't earn.
I had so so many high hopes for this but it was so bad and I couldn’t take it seriously when it comes out that they’re broke despite her being a surgeon. I work in the OR and just no.
Isn't she an intern ?
She couldve have many family debts
Yeah, when Olivia Wilde said 'Frank' was supposed to be Jordan Peterson IRL - that just made me not even bother with the movie.
Same.
I actually enjoyed it. Yes, it’s very Stepford Wives, but I liked the updated twist to the theme.
I thought the most interesting thing was about how jack actually went out to work everyday after starting Victory in order to afford the virtual lifestyle he made for Alice vs how he forcefully took her away from her life and career.
In a way, he is right. They were a happier couple in Victory because they had time for each other. (Of course obviously it’s wrong that he wasn’t ok with being a house husband and wanted her to be relegated to being a housewife instead even though she has the bigger economic potential).
I would’ve enjoyed a movie where this conflict is presented early in the movie and the rest of the movie is just them assessing their relationship and the roles they’re willing to take / how both characters compromise to keep the marriage. Instead of a movie about dumb incel men, it would’ve been more interesting as a relationship study.
I think the scenario presented in the movie (the first 3/4's anyway) works as a mystery thriller. Victory already exists and it's a going concern with the men presumably being the willing part of the participation and either stifling their wives or living out this fantasy whole cloth.
I would have liked to see the lead up to how some of the people got there. Did they drug their spouses and slap the devices on them? Are the husbands all incel losers working retail to afford 8 hours of virtual "bliss"?!
@@mikemcdonald1999 Imagine if one of the husband actually is a true incel, his Victory wife is entirely virtual and he believes they others to be so. That would explain why it's only Alice who notices the coincidences in the couple's backstory. I mean... With only three different backstories thrown in the narrative, you're bond to bump into someone who shares yours exactly. Therefore, some of the wives have to be NPC.
Pierrot Pierrot, I think I don't understand what you mean when you say "in a way, he was right because they are a happier couple in Victory". How long has their new life been going on before she started breaking down ? To me it looks like they are "vacation happy", a feeling that you enjoy but that it is not meant to last. I think she would have broken down eventually. (Remember how she is crushed by the windiw she cleans ? Isn't it a metaphore for the domestic life oppressing her ?)
It's a bit of a stretch, but I imagine that if she was not obliged to fulfill the duty of a perfect housewife, she might end up just as her husband was in real life.
@@myriamydri5148 yeah I agree. It’s a “honeymoon” happy phase, but it was a phase that they could not have in real life because Alice was so busy working to accommodate for his dependency. So I believe that the husband got what he wanted to prove in victory (at firsttt) because once Alice was free of the burden to provide, she had more time and love for him. Unfortunately, obviously this is not the actual real answer to his question because he didn’t marry a complacent woman. Alice wants to work and is actually proud of her career, so she becomes restless and starts being curious about her surroundings and wouldn’t let any mystery go. I actually find this to be quite a sad story because they looked so loved up in the first part of the movie, which means that they do actually love each other - but miscommunication and lack of understanding towards each other caused them to have different expectations of the relationship.
i don't think he had to pay for it all. for example, he truly believed that she would be happier there and that he was saving her even though he wasn't. but to help his insecurities he wanted to make her happy but assumed that her not working and doing nothing would help. so i think that he had to work to keep the apartment they're at, a place to store their bodies and so he could take care of her when he's back in the real life. SO they could live this virtual life forever where his own egotistical needs were satisfied. it's common for insecure men to run away from their problems and deny it and that's what this world is. he literally couldn't face alice finding out the truth. but i believe this is why he said he HATED having to work in the real life everyday because it's not ideal to have to take care of their real bodies, i don't think he would mind if it was to pay for the simulation. but of course this doesn't matter because at least ALICE won't have to. it's his own sick, twisted form of love. i also had a theory that maybe he didn't get fired or purposely (1)
This would’ve been a great episode of Black Mirror. But as it being a Hollywood movie it fell flat.
I think this movie had too big of a budget than what it deserved and that messed with the writing and directing. The car chase scenes were silly, the plane crash was left unexplained, the characters didn’t have much development and it was hard to feel a connection with them.
A great thriller makes the audience feel uncomfortable but intrigued, the lines of discomfort could’ve been pushed so much more to make this film better. Focus more on deep hypnosis and the reality of women and children being put in here against their will.
there was alot of potential here they just needed to flesh out the story more
This wasn’t Harry’s acting debut, he was in Dunkirk also.
the biggest plot hole is how the thing that only attaches to the eyes somehow rewrote her memories AND erased her previous memories. that makes absolutely zero sense. she really wanted to say something with this but olivia wilde got way too caught up in her own ideas.
It was the hypnosis
@@jasminazman8901 hypnosis is still a lazy writing cop out. Same as ‘it was all a dream’
@@vespernight4236 not everything has to be so deep.
FoundFlix you HAVE to do Smile next! I watched it the other day and was blown away by how good it was!
Agreed! Best horror film since The Night House (in my opinion).
It was okay for me. It was basically “It Follows” minus teens sleeping with each other to pass the ghost around.
I agree with a lot of other people who say that this should’ve been made into a Netflix series, or even a book series. That way it could be fleshed out, and key parts from the original script (that had been removed from the movie) could also be involved.
This film was inspired by true events from the Home owners association. Also, Frank was determined to live in Nuketown one way or another!
I think everyone is wrapped up in the message that this movie is trying to make about society and gender roles which I agree is a bit obvious and has been done better before. But what I love about this movie is what it says about love. At its core this is a love story that tells us in a very dramatic but cinematically beautiful way that infatuation is not love. When we confuse it for love it consumes us, and makes us lose who we are. And once this “love” is taken from us it leaves us feeling empty but freed at the same time
This movie failed at its message honestly.
Wasn’t Styles acting debut in Dunkirk?
He didn't have any lines in that though, did he? I didn't see it, I just remember hearing he didn't actually have any real dialogue. Also, that's a bit different to this, where he plays a lead character who has to carry much of the movie.
Regarding how a victory death can cause an actual death to them in the outside world; I think it’s like the matrix and how if you die in your mind…your body can’t survive without the mind
I came here to find one of your videos I haven't watched and this was the first thing on my subscriptions today. ❤️
It’s nice to see that Chris pine is still acting. But every time he’s on screen, I keep confusing him for Anthony star(homelander from the boys)
Ah, another "Perfect world/misogyny simulation" movie. Remember, if you die in the game you die in real life!
this wasn't Harry's first movie, he was in Dunkirk first
Small correction: This isn't Harry Styles's acting debut. That was Dunkirk. This is his second role
Edit: Actually, this is his third. I forgot about his cameo in The Eternals
third* he was also in eternals post credit scene
Thank god ! I wash praying youd cover this! ❤ found flix, saving us time & money forever. Thanks FF 🙌
I was hoping he would have uncovered some of the "never explained" elements of the movie, that I had missed. But it's not just that I missed them. They didn't exist.
I love Olivia Wilde. Wanted to love the movie too (BOOK SMART was awesome)... But science fiction writers did NOT write this script. As one, I know that you can't just steal flashy, fun, weird things for your movie. You have to pay off with logical setup details by the end. Physics must be acknowledged and human motivations must feel real. This had neither by the end. Not Olivia's fault & she DID lean heavily into the surreal style and creepy fake-ness of the story.
Question: you said that he chose to keep his real wife. Soooo does that mean that you can have a fake wife instead? Also, what is keeping some pyshco from simply kidnapping some girl/woman and doing that to her? Seeing as they have already done that to their wives.
yes. the point of this world is some narcissist who manipulates insecure, loser men. (think andrew tate and his fans) in the real world, he really was just some man child on discord and listening to a podcast. they were married in real life but you could entirely choose whatever woman you wanted bc again, this world is completely ruled by men. (which is terrifying) there was even a story they cut out that alice didn't even know him and she helped him at the hospital and so jack liked her, kidnapped and picked her. but then they decided to have them together but i assume (which i believe we saw) that he still had to knock her out and bring her somewhere either way. also his mental health results came back "fair" not "good" suggesting that he could be receptive to manipulation or hypnosis.
@@maddog9265wait can you elaborate on the mental health eval and him being susceptible to manipulation? What manipulation would occur if all the husbands were in on the victory project .
@@molleybrackney9585 bc before they even came across the project they were probably already insecure, misogynistic and had low self esteem, frank knows how to target these men and he says basic things abt how they're insecure and he KNOWS they wanna do better and they have it in them and it's bc to feel this way means they're "special". (even though its very common, you would do anything to believe youre not the problem) this instantly made these types of men listen. hence them eventually agreeing to the victory project. so his eval showing fair kind of just proves and shows that he was AND is still subject to manipulation. i hope that clears things up.
Yknow, there's not really anything wrong with those who choose to be in the sim like Bunny (like it's unhealthy but not horrible). The actual tech of the victory project is fine. The one who forced her (and some of the other wives) into this is Jack and that's kind of the main conflict. They could've just let people log out as needed and it wouldn't have been such an issue...
Are you going to cover Smile?
Chris Pine, still looking GREAT!
I felt sad watching this movie. It reminded me of how I love my husband and how I want to make him feel masculine despite the pressure of life outside the home saying otherwise. While I relish equality, I recognize capitalism forcing two adults to create income, depriving one another from sanctuary and rest. There was genuine connection, in the guise of homemaking and bread winning, there was time for the two to connect, and while I don’t agree that patriarchy is what fosters this relationship, I see the importance in connection between spouses. I hope as the wheel turns egalitarianism grants humanity this connection, as it’s necessary for the enrichment of life.
I saw it last night and I was hoping that when I typed in ending, explained that it would be you and I’m so happy you did this movie! Because the ending was kind of confusing to me lol and you always do a great job explaining everything
After watching this, my suspicions were confirmed. This was a new spin on ‘The Stepford wives’ movies
Florence pugh is pretty much the only good thing about this movie
Yaaaaas. Quality content on a Thursday night.
Been waiting for this one. Especially with all the drama surrounding it
Step-ford wife's remake.
I would love if you ever did a breakdown on the movie Dead End (2010) always been a fav of mine. And I would to hear your thoughts and everything on the movie and especially the ending. I love your vids, long time viewer ❤️
I NEED you to cover John and the hole. I just watched it and I'm still confused 😭 nobody is talking about it!!
Did anyone else catch the quick frame of Florence Pugh character between 7:54 and 7:55?
This story reminds me of that webtoon series, the characters are all cats, very intriguing to read..
This was a crazy movie! It wasn't what I expected and put me in mind of a weird version of the Stepford Wives. Pugh is beautiful and a great actress which originally drew me to this one and I'm glad I watched it
If you slow mo starting at 7:53 you can see a brief image of Florence Pugh on 7:55 with here eyes pried open.
It just reminded me of an updated “Stepford Wives.”
You need to do 1899 IN DEPTH. I think I pretty much understand it but would love to see if your analysis aligns with mine.
God this would have been such a cool concept if they hired good writers.
She was just pissed because JP told people to clean their rooms. I mean really?!
Maybe she’s bitter that someone is telling men that they aren’t all literally demons who need to be reduced to 10% of the population
Underwhelming is a good way to describe it. The dialogue felt really …undercooked and a little corny at times.
It had some pretty scenes, though. Nice cinematography, I’ll give it that
Great points!! I enjoyed the movie but the inability to wrap it all up in the end was frustrating!! WTF !!! How do you die in the real if killed in the SIM and what was Victory all about?? What we’re they doing as a business when they went off all day???
This was not Styles's acting debut, he was also in My Policeman and years ago in Dunkirk. Also... isn't this just Stepford Wives? Like, EXACTLY Steford Wives? Not the original, the Kidman version?
Thats the vibe I got too.
Yeah, it's pretty much a shittier version of it lol.
THANK YOUUUUU I WAS WAITING FOR THIS HOPEFULLY YOU DO “THE MENU”
oh no, probably someone already thought of this one but.... the glass, Alice in wonderland, Thru the looking glass, the red suited men are the like the red queens red playing cards that chase after Alice in the (cartoon version at least lol) sorry it popped right in my head at the end there
I have a strong feeling that Shelly is actually the one behind it.
I thought it was good! "What if stepford wives but the matrix" is an okay premise and it does a couple new things like when she gets squished by the glass door. It's "just okay" at worst imo
So did it ever mention how long they had been in this SIM? I mean this woman was a doctor, no one came looking for them... Very odd
This movie was a good concept but it was executed weirdly
I remember listening to Nerdrotic talk about seeing this movie, and how his friend said, “I think someone was going through a divorce when this got made…”
Lol would explain the bitterness
Soooooo glad u covered this!!! Been wanting to see it
I WAS WAITING FOR YOU TO DO THIS MOVIE AFTER IT LEFT ME DUMBFOUNDED. THANK YOU!
“Don’t worry” is what you say when you immediately want to start worrying
This movie reminds me of - "The Stepford Wives" it certainly has a few parallels between them.
