In the current awards season, a striking restrictive film, "Poor Things," pierces the night sky like a new star, shining a light that can't be ignored. Its journey began with the Golden Lion at the Venice Film Festival, and traveled through the Golden Globe for Best Comedy to 11 Oscar nominations, undoubtedly becoming a dark horse of the awards season. Emma Stone, the acting school who won the Oscar for "La La Land", was nominated again for this film, which undoubtedly added a bit of excitement to the film.
Poor Stuff is based on the Scottish writer Alastale Grey's name**, which itself is a tribute and mutation of the classic sci-fi work Frankenstein. The film takes a different narrative angle from the original book, focusing on the perspective of the android Bella Baxter, exploring the inner feelings and growth process of a new life experience world. Bella's birth and upbringing is filled with the pain and joy of exploring herself and the world, and her experiences touch on profound questions about humanity, freedom, and control.
Director Eggs Lance, with his unique and slightly bizarre style, through Bella's eyes, raises questions about social conventions and the nature of human nature. Reims's works often revolve around extreme assumptions and question the conventions of society, thereby exposing the complexity of human nature and the contradictions of society. "Poor Thing" continues his creative characteristics, and through the growth experience of the character Bella, it deeply penetrates the tension between individual autonomy and social discipline.
In the film, Bella's interaction with the world is full of conflicts and contradictions, and her upbringing is actually an exploration of bodily autonomy and freedom of thought. Bella's experience challenges traditional moral and social norms, and her actions, while simple in their original intentions, inadvertently expose the hypocrisy and limitations of society. In particular, her attitude and exploration of sexuality is not only the pursuit of bodily autonomy, but also a profound questioning of human relationships and social values.
However, "Poor Things" is not without controversy when it comes to revealing its deep themes. Although the film tries to delve into multiple complex social and personal issues, its approach sometimes seems too straightforward and even a little simplistic. The film's critique of society and depiction of individual awakening, although far-reaching in intention, sometimes seem to fail to fully achieve the desired effect in terms of emotional communication and logical depth. Especially in the process of Bella's awakening, the film sometimes relies too much on symbolism and metaphor, and ignores the emotional resonance and inner recovery of the characters.
