And I posted a simple reply that refutes their theory and would have stopped there if they didn't argue. Also, you're lecturing me right now about how I should talk about a theory that makes no sense posted onto an online forum for the purpose of discussion, so should I take that to mean you're a fellow chronically online potato? Man, you must be the life of the party 😂. Your logic...
Again, not an assumption. Words have definitions whether you like it or not. Maybe you're not baiting and you legitimately don't know that, but a screen writer who makes their living off of putting words to the page definitely would. I'm sure there are women who regret terminating their pregnancies, but that's really irrelevant to what I said. If a woman who has had an abortion says that she 'lost' her baby, that's just factually incorrect. Plain and simple. If the basis of your theory rests on the idea that the screenwriter f*cked up, maybe you need to admit that it's just not a good theory.
I'm not really assuming anything, that's just not how language works or how people use it. You 'lose' your uncle in a car crash. You can 'lose' a priceless family heirloom in a fire. Poor Janice 'lost' her baby and she'd already finished decorating the nursery. etc.
Terminating a pregnancy is deliberate. It simply wouldn't be correct to say, "Yah know, the funniest thing happened yesterday. I went to have an abortion and then all of a sudden, I lost muh baby. Oopsy!" ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Also, underhanded insult? You're comment is designed to be controversial. Given the people involved in making the film, its obvious that they would never put a message in the film about a woman who's ok with imprisioning others because she just went bananas from having abortions. That's just shameless, and given that there's no dialogue or evidence in the movie to support it, I can only assume that your intention was to rage bait.
Even though I assume that you're baiting...
Olivia Wilde's character explicitly said that she chose the life she had because in the simulation she didn't lose her children like she did in the real world. LOSE. People use the word lose when talking about those who have died, especially unexpectedly or pregnancies that haven't come to term due to miscarriage. Literally no one, anywhere, ever has aborted a baby and said that they "lost" their baby. It would just be factually incorrect.
For me, there was no test at all. He was right to castrate himself and if there was any justice in the world, this would be a mandatory punishment for all proven child molesters.
I’m not entirely sure how or why you found the castration comment by the playground mum to be cruel. I’m not sure how anyone could find it anything other than just. Personally, I was a little disgusted when the film seemed to try and position me against the woman (through Winslet’s dialogue) when she said he should be castrated. Especially when all psychological science points to the fact that pedophiles can never be reformed.
<blockquote>How crazy is it that an orphan born in the poorest part of the world who's apparently self educated is able to bring himself up to basically middle class at just 18?</blockquote>
Well it’s a fictional narrative in which literally anything could have happened, so... not very. 🤷🏼♀️
Are you seriously under the impression that there was no such thing as home schooling in 1976?
The bad screenplay, acting, storytelling and CGI might pose a threat to this movie if it’s anything like the first.
The fact that the film is a period piece about the lives of the middle class is not an excuse for the film to be boring and disjointed. There are several slice of life movies that are actually told in an interesting manner and focus on interesting people.
For what it’s worth, I am the target audience and I like both period films and those of the slice-of-life genre.
Completely agree. But panic can’t be reasoned with, so let people wall themselves up in their homes for all I care. I’m just enjoying the quiet 😂
I didn’t like any version of little women or the book, but by some cruel twist of fate I ended up seeing all of the main adaptations. I found this version to be both the most dull and the most confusing. A rare combination...
The plot has been completely jumbled out of order, kind of like Gerwig thought the thing that was holding back the barely-there narrative that is Little Women, was that it didn’t resemble Memento.
Not sure I can agree with the ‘well written and acted’ part 😂. Personably, I found spotlight to be unbearably dull. Classic example of people voting for issue film making over quality film making.
...They don’t.
I don’t think that I’ve ever even seen a Vanessa Hudgens movie, but she’s not wrong...
Viruses with a similar death toll to corona already exist in society, and death IS inevitable. Corona isn’t going anywhere, and for most people it’s not very dangerous. Yes for the elderly or the immune compromised, it can be deadly. So can the flu... difference is, we don’t close down places, buy up supplies or disrupt society for the flu, but we do for corona. And when you listen to the facts rather than the hysteria, it is hard to believe that the reason why isn’t totally arbitrary.
What paranoid rock have you been living under? Maybe if you did share your bed as a kid, you’d have less corrupt views about perfectly normal human interaction.
Who hurt you?
If that was the case, then surely you would have been able to debate what I actually wrote rather than fictionalising the contents of my post. As it stands, you weren’t able to.
No, I said it was looking forward to the movie because that was mentioned as a feature and it wasn’t, I then expressed disappointment within that very limited context.
I also said that there was no tension because of the ramifications of making the monster’s presence so blatant. Not because I assumed what the ramifications of this decision would be before even seeing the film, as you so claimed.
Perhaps, before replying to someone’s post, you should make sure that you actually understand it’s contents.
