Sister StoneEmma StoneNeedless to say.

On the other hand, yesScale
The director of the film can be said to be a wonderful flower in the film industry.
Not only is it known for its absurd and weird style, but the movies shot are also full of large-scale shots.
And in this movie, the consistent style is still maintained.
There are not only weird animals with dog heads and chicken bodies, human bodies and sheep brains, but also large-scale passion plays of Sister Shi.

Not only won the Golden Lion at the Venice Film Festival, but also won the Oscar nomination for Best Picture.
It was also praised by netizens as the dark version of "Barbie" The Cult of the Year for Women's Movies .
What is the quality?
Today, we're going to take a look at it
Poor Thing
poor things
The first impression of this movie is:Shocking
Each shot is full of magnificent and fantastical colors, and it is the degree that it can be used as a wallpaper when taken out individually.
And the story begins in the Victorian period, which is in a parallel time and space.
Here, the classical and the modern go hand in hand.
People talk about writers of their time like Wilde at the dinner table, and on the other hand, they have technology that is ahead of their time.
There are flying trams.
There is also a mechanically modified stomach.
Spit bubbles as soon as you eat.
These wonders bring a new and exciting experience to the audience.
And it is the heroine who takes this to the extremeBella
Although she has the body of an adult, she has the brain of a baby.
Moreover, this brain still belongs to her unborn fetus.
All in allBella is both her own mother and her own child
This is clearly beyond the perception of modern medicine.
Why is this happening?
It turns out that Bella has an unhappy marriage.
She is imprisoned in the castle by her controlling husband and cannot take a step.
She was about to be castrated by the doctor her husband had brought in.
Under these circumstances, Bella gradually despaired and chose to commit suicide by jumping into the river.
Fortunately, he was saved by a passing surgeon.
But unfortunately, her escape did not end in happiness.
Unexpectedly, the surgeon did not save her out of the benevolence of the doctor, but just wanted to use this excellent body for experiments.
Therefore, Bella underwent a brain replacement operation without knowing it.
After that, although she survived, her mind completely degenerated into a baby.
It is necessary to learn words and spoken language from scratch.
He also has no ability to take care of himself at all, and will have urinary incontinence.
The limbs are still uncoordinated, and they don't fit in with the people around them.
The film's bolder attempt is to explore gender issues.
After the brain change, Bella is like a blank slate.
She freed herself from sexual shame and bravely pursued those things that she felt happy.
In desperation, he chose to sell himself for money, but was blamed.
She'll also hit back at the humiliation.
In her quest for sexual liberation, Bella also completed growth and self-exploration.
In the beginning, she was **, empty, and indulged in pleasure.
In pursuit of happiness, he eloped with a ***.
It's been a ridiculous time.
But after that, she gradually grew.
Begin to seek no more physical pleasure, but spiritual joy and liberation.
She read books and exchanged ideas with the grandmother she met by chance.
See the suffering of the world.
In the whole process, Bella did not stick to male condensation, but did what she wanted, used her own way to understand the world, and then transformed the world.
This is a deconstruction of the famous saying that women are acquired.
But in this film, there are also regrets.
Discussions on gender issues remain superficial.
When Bella became a prostitute and was **humiliated.
She will fight back directly.
We are our own production tools.
It became the most deafening sentence in the movie.
And this sentence is certainly powerful.
But in the film, Bella, who is a prostitute, is faced with a situation where she cannot choose.
When it is proposed to let the prostitutes choose their customers.
Bella was rejected by the bustard.
Thus, to equate prostitutes with the tools of production is to completely ignore the exploitation and oppression of women by the sex industry.
The situation is as Chizuruko Ueno summed up on **Capital.
* Not only is capital not obtainable through hard work (some say it can, but there is a limit to it), it cannot be accumulated, and it only decreases with age. Moreover, its value can only be assessed unilaterally, and the criteria for evaluation are entirely in the hands of the appraiser, in other words, it is obviously wrong to call it capital in a state where the owner of the capital has no control over it. 」
Moreover, fall into clichés.
Emphasizing that women have agency and voluntarily choose to be sexual objects is a cliché in the sex industry. Because female agency can exonerate male sexuality. 」
At the end of the day, in this film, the high-concept scenes and alternate worlds are certainly eye-catching.
But the issue of gender is not new.
Therefore, after the launch, word-of-mouth has been polarized.
It's a shame.
