We use the Bechtel test as 15 00:00:52,920 --> 00:00:56,000 Speaker 1: just sort of a jumping off point yard stick, a yardstick, 16 00:00:56,040 --> 00:00:58,760 Speaker 1: if you will, And our version of the Becktel test 17 00:00:58,840 --> 00:01:02,360 Speaker 1: requires that movie has two female characters who speak to 18 00:01:02,360 --> 00:01:06,160 Speaker 1: each other. They also have names, and the conversation has 19 00:01:06,200 --> 00:01:08,839 Speaker 1: to be about something other than a man. It's really 20 00:01:08,880 --> 00:01:11,640 Speaker 1: only a two line exchange. That's all we need here 21 00:01:11,640 --> 00:01:14,279 Speaker 1: at the Bechtel Cast.

So 27 00:01:31,840 --> 00:01:36,199 Speaker 1: I'm actually very tired. Nice. That's like a nap food. Yeah. Well, 28 00:01:36,319 --> 00:01:40,520 Speaker 1: we've really established that we have pretty leisurely chill lives. 29 00:01:42,080 --> 00:01:45,880 Speaker 1: That's great, good for us. Yeah. Wow. Anyways, I'm excited 30 00:01:46,000 --> 00:01:48,520 Speaker 1: for to talk about the movie we're talking about today 31 00:01:48,560 --> 00:01:53,960 Speaker 1: because it is a polarizing film. Yes, in every conceivable. 32 00:01:54,000 --> 00:01:56,280 Speaker 1: I was reading have you seen the Rotten Tomatoes page 33 00:01:56,320 --> 00:01:58,040 Speaker 1: for this movie? No? But I know that it got 34 00:01:58,120 --> 00:02:01,720 Speaker 1: an F on Cinema score. The I mean the reviews 35 00:02:01,800 --> 00:02:04,000 Speaker 1: between like the positive and the negative. I mean it's 36 00:02:04,040 --> 00:02:08,120 Speaker 1: like both. Some people loved this movie, other people like 37 00:02:08,160 --> 00:02:11,160 Speaker 1: it truly made them want to walk into the sea, 38 00:02:11,240 --> 00:02:13,960 Speaker 1: which is we'll get to it. Yeah. Well that's how 39 00:02:14,000 --> 00:02:16,480 Speaker 1: I felt, and I believe that's also how our guest felt. 40 00:02:16,480 --> 00:02:19,040 Speaker 1: But I will let her for herself. And let us 41 00:02:19,080 --> 00:02:22,400 Speaker 1: introduce her. She's an actress. You've seen her on Comedy 42 00:02:22,400 --> 00:02:25,880 Speaker 1: Central's Corporate and she's starring in a show on YouTube 43 00:02:25,919 --> 00:02:31,560 Speaker 1: Red called Youth and Consequences and a Conna. Hi, thanks 44 00:02:31,600 --> 00:02:33,840 Speaker 1: for being here, Thanks for having me guys. So you 45 00:02:33,880 --> 00:02:37,800 Speaker 1: brought us the movie Mother Mother exclamation point. I hated 46 00:02:37,880 --> 00:02:40,160 Speaker 1: it so much that I was like, I want to 47 00:02:40,200 --> 00:02:43,480 Speaker 1: talk about how much I fucking hate this. That's just 48 00:02:43,560 --> 00:02:47,399 Speaker 1: like my favorite kind of episode, just like pull out 49 00:02:47,400 --> 00:02:50,680 Speaker 1: the bloodied corns and then just whack it. Yeah, so 50 00:02:50,760 --> 00:02:52,280 Speaker 1: you did you see it in the theater? I did 51 00:02:52,280 --> 00:02:54,880 Speaker 1: see it in theater. I was also nega high, so 52 00:02:55,040 --> 00:02:57,480 Speaker 1: I do. I thought I would enjoy it from that 53 00:02:57,520 --> 00:02:59,200 Speaker 1: perspective at the very least, because I heard about the 54 00:02:59,200 --> 00:03:01,440 Speaker 1: polarizing review is before going in. So it's like, you know, 55 00:03:01,480 --> 00:03:05,080 Speaker 1: go in with really low expectations and it's still managed 56 00:03:05,120 --> 00:03:08,760 Speaker 1: to shatter those low expectations and have a whole new 57 00:03:08,880 --> 00:03:12,079 Speaker 1: bar of just terrible movie. But yeah, it was six 58 00:03:12,480 --> 00:03:13,880 Speaker 1: in the movie felt like it was just a close 59 00:03:13,960 --> 00:03:16,720 Speaker 1: up on Jennifer Lawrence. That is that is I I 60 00:03:16,760 --> 00:03:18,639 Speaker 1: think it was very deliberately shot that way. And then 61 00:03:18,639 --> 00:03:21,880 Speaker 1: like the last half hour is straight up biblical torture 62 00:03:21,880 --> 00:03:24,840 Speaker 1: porn and it's just God of can't like. As the 63 00:03:24,880 --> 00:03:27,400 Speaker 1: movie goes on, I hate it more and more, like 64 00:03:28,000 --> 00:03:30,840 Speaker 1: there's no I saw this movie very high as well, 65 00:03:30,960 --> 00:03:33,959 Speaker 1: higher than I was expecting to be, and so the 66 00:03:34,000 --> 00:03:36,360 Speaker 1: first time, I'm like, I don't know if I just 67 00:03:36,480 --> 00:03:39,360 Speaker 1: really hated that movie or if I thought I could 68 00:03:39,840 --> 00:03:43,480 Speaker 1: hear everyone's skin and that was the problem because it 69 00:03:43,560 --> 00:03:45,280 Speaker 1: was that kind of high. I'm like, oh, there's a 70 00:03:45,280 --> 00:03:46,800 Speaker 1: bald man in front of me, and I can hear 71 00:03:46,880 --> 00:03:54,200 Speaker 1: his scalp. That was like drug you want? No, it 72 00:03:54,360 --> 00:03:55,960 Speaker 1: was like I think it was like a really strong 73 00:03:56,480 --> 00:04:00,280 Speaker 1: because I don't drug that much. So when I do, 74 00:04:00,560 --> 00:04:03,600 Speaker 1: how many units of drug did you do? A couple 75 00:04:06,280 --> 00:04:08,920 Speaker 1: too many? I don't know. But the people I was 76 00:04:09,000 --> 00:04:12,120 Speaker 1: with were better at drugs than me, and so they 77 00:04:12,120 --> 00:04:14,720 Speaker 1: were like having a great time hating the movie, and 78 00:04:14,760 --> 00:04:16,479 Speaker 1: I was like, I can hear this man scalp, and 79 00:04:16,520 --> 00:04:19,960 Speaker 1: I cannot tell anyone, least of all him, although I 80 00:04:20,040 --> 00:04:23,320 Speaker 1: want to tell him so bad that his skull can 81 00:04:23,320 --> 00:04:29,520 Speaker 1: speak and it's speaking and wants to get out. But yeah, 82 00:04:29,600 --> 00:04:32,400 Speaker 1: the sound, I would for what it's worth. The sound 83 00:04:32,520 --> 00:04:37,119 Speaker 1: editing in this movie is a lot. Well it's there, 84 00:04:37,200 --> 00:04:41,160 Speaker 1: so yeah, seeing it. Seeing it in theaters was definitely. 85 00:04:41,480 --> 00:04:45,000 Speaker 1: I mean it's like, did you feel trapped? Yes, yes, okay, yeah, 86 00:04:45,040 --> 00:04:48,400 Speaker 1: it's like it feels like you can leave, but I 87 00:04:48,440 --> 00:04:52,640 Speaker 1: don't know. It's I mean, it's very grating and it's okay. 88 00:04:52,720 --> 00:04:54,679 Speaker 1: It felt like it would never end to It almost 89 00:04:54,720 --> 00:04:56,240 Speaker 1: felt like the movie was like, you think it's going 90 00:04:56,279 --> 00:04:59,680 Speaker 1: to end here, because I would have been I wouldn't 91 00:04:59,680 --> 00:05:01,760 Speaker 1: have been shocked at any runtime on that movie. It 92 00:05:01,800 --> 00:05:04,479 Speaker 1: could have been an hour, fifteen or three hours, and 93 00:05:04,560 --> 00:05:08,839 Speaker 1: it just felt like forever because no real narrative is 94 00:05:09,040 --> 00:05:11,720 Speaker 1: set up. It's just an extended metaphor. It will get 95 00:05:11,720 --> 00:05:15,240 Speaker 1: into it, but like there's no goal that any characters 96 00:05:15,440 --> 00:05:18,599 Speaker 1: trying to achieve necessarily that we know about, so we 97 00:05:18,640 --> 00:05:22,679 Speaker 1: don't know anything that's going to happen, Like any event 98 00:05:22,760 --> 00:05:25,600 Speaker 1: that happens, we're just like, oh wait, what, oh this 99 00:05:25,680 --> 00:05:28,719 Speaker 1: is happening now? Okay? Like and were you a fan 100 00:05:28,800 --> 00:05:32,160 Speaker 1: of Darren Aronovski going into it? I was. I loved 101 00:05:32,160 --> 00:05:34,839 Speaker 1: Black Swan, I loved Reccoman for a dream. Um, I 102 00:05:34,920 --> 00:05:37,480 Speaker 1: was excited to hear this, especially because I'd read some 103 00:05:37,520 --> 00:05:39,400 Speaker 1: interviews with Jennifer Lawrence, and she was like, I thought 104 00:05:39,400 --> 00:05:42,320 Speaker 1: this was a masterpiece. I loved this script. I loved 105 00:05:42,360 --> 00:05:46,240 Speaker 1: his idea, and so I went in knowing like, okay, well, 106 00:05:46,240 --> 00:05:47,960 Speaker 1: I'm a fan of his work, Like I'm I want 107 00:05:47,960 --> 00:05:50,120 Speaker 1: to be open at least to what's going to happen. 108 00:05:50,240 --> 00:05:53,320 Speaker 1: But the moment they ate the baby, I was just like, 109 00:05:54,040 --> 00:05:59,159 Speaker 1: they really bad, really bad. And and even Jennifer Lawrence 110 00:05:59,240 --> 00:06:02,800 Speaker 1: later turns on this movie because when during the I 111 00:06:03,040 --> 00:06:05,000 Speaker 1: don't know like at what point it started. But I 112 00:06:05,040 --> 00:06:07,479 Speaker 1: didn't realize until after I saw the movie the first 113 00:06:07,520 --> 00:06:11,919 Speaker 1: time and was less high and able to google things. Uh, 114 00:06:11,960 --> 00:06:14,719 Speaker 1: that she and Darren Aronovski were like hot and heavy 115 00:06:15,160 --> 00:06:18,400 Speaker 1: while this movie was being made through when it came out, 116 00:06:19,000 --> 00:06:22,200 Speaker 1: and then from and I'm sure it's not this simple, 117 00:06:22,240 --> 00:06:25,200 Speaker 1: but they broke up shortly after the movie came out, 118 00:06:25,279 --> 00:06:28,560 Speaker 1: partially because uh, and Jennifer Lawrence sort of said this. 119 00:06:28,600 --> 00:06:30,720 Speaker 1: She was just like, yeah, he couldn't handle how much 120 00:06:30,720 --> 00:06:33,880 Speaker 1: people hated Mother, and he wouldn't shut up about it. 121 00:06:33,920 --> 00:06:35,880 Speaker 1: So I was like, actually, I have to be going. 122 00:06:36,720 --> 00:06:40,760 Speaker 1: I thought was pretty badass, like um, calm down, which 123 00:06:40,760 --> 00:06:43,200 Speaker 1: there was an interesting parallel of in the movie where 124 00:06:43,640 --> 00:06:46,960 Speaker 1: our Barden is like my writing and she's like, well 125 00:06:46,960 --> 00:06:53,360 Speaker 1: what about me, Except unlike her character Jennifer Lawrence dipped immediately, 126 00:06:53,520 --> 00:06:55,520 Speaker 1: which you've got to hand at her that pretty Yeah, 127 00:06:55,560 --> 00:06:58,039 Speaker 1: I mean, you don't offer someone your weird glass heard 128 00:06:58,160 --> 00:07:06,760 Speaker 1: at the end of a relationship become dusted. Every time 129 00:07:06,800 --> 00:07:08,960 Speaker 1: I see that on screen, I want to call it 130 00:07:08,960 --> 00:07:12,800 Speaker 1: the heart of the ocean references. It doesn't deserve it, 131 00:07:12,800 --> 00:07:15,920 Speaker 1: You're right, yeah, so I don't feel right calling it that. Yeah, 132 00:07:16,280 --> 00:07:19,360 Speaker 1: the only metaphor, like I've read like some fan conspiracy 133 00:07:19,440 --> 00:07:21,880 Speaker 1: theories after seeing it, because for those of you who 134 00:07:21,920 --> 00:07:25,320 Speaker 1: haven't seen the movie, it's so heavy handed in biblical 135 00:07:25,480 --> 00:07:28,160 Speaker 1: references and literally just the whole message of the movie 136 00:07:28,240 --> 00:07:30,720 Speaker 1: is humans are bad, We're killing Mother Earth. Were so 137 00:07:30,800 --> 00:07:34,320 Speaker 1: self centered and God is this like self absorbed asshole? 138 00:07:34,480 --> 00:07:37,880 Speaker 1: Thank you, Mr Aronofski. I really love your your classic 139 00:07:37,960 --> 00:07:41,960 Speaker 1: original viewpoint take. But the one that I did like 140 00:07:42,120 --> 00:07:44,120 Speaker 1: is someone said, if you look at this movie through 141 00:07:44,160 --> 00:07:48,320 Speaker 1: the lens of being with an abusive narcissist, it actually 142 00:07:48,400 --> 00:07:50,680 Speaker 1: is good, and so like they kind of ran through 143 00:07:50,720 --> 00:07:52,240 Speaker 1: the movie of like, you know, like your love is 144 00:07:52,280 --> 00:07:54,640 Speaker 1: never enough for somebody and they absolutely have to have 145 00:07:54,720 --> 00:07:57,480 Speaker 1: the adoration of others, and they're going to put the 146 00:07:57,560 --> 00:08:00,280 Speaker 1: family second. They don't even care how much you're family 147 00:08:00,320 --> 00:08:03,160 Speaker 1: life is completely destroyed by your art um. And so 148 00:08:03,200 --> 00:08:05,000 Speaker 1: through that, Lens I was like, Oh, that would be 149 00:08:05,120 --> 00:08:10,720 Speaker 1: a much better metaphor movie than this, right, which I mean, 150 00:08:10,800 --> 00:08:12,480 Speaker 1: I guess I can work on that level. I don't 151 00:08:12,480 --> 00:08:14,480 Speaker 1: think that that had anything to do with the intent, 152 00:08:14,680 --> 00:08:19,680 Speaker 1: which just speaks to how fucking clueless Darren Aronowski must 153 00:08:19,720 --> 00:08:23,400 Speaker 1: be where that he's like, hum, your partym not so bad, 154 00:08:23,960 --> 00:08:27,360 Speaker 1: pretty smart guy, seems cool, seems kind of hot, has 155 00:08:27,400 --> 00:08:31,800 Speaker 1: a stone right, they're god, I mean, the one good 156 00:08:31,840 --> 00:08:35,079 Speaker 1: takeaway and then you get into the recap. But the 157 00:08:35,720 --> 00:08:38,120 Speaker 1: one takeaway for me is you do get to see 158 00:08:38,679 --> 00:08:43,000 Speaker 1: Ed Harris and Michelle Phifer essentially raw dogging on more 159 00:08:43,040 --> 00:08:45,960 Speaker 1: than one occasion, which you never see coming, and there's 160 00:08:46,000 --> 00:08:48,280 Speaker 1: always like a little weird It's kind of like in 161 00:08:48,280 --> 00:08:49,959 Speaker 1: the Shape of Water where they're like no ay, or 162 00:08:49,960 --> 00:08:52,000 Speaker 1: they're gonna let us watch the fish funk and then 163 00:08:52,040 --> 00:08:53,600 Speaker 1: you're like, oh, I guess they're gonna gonna let us 164 00:08:53,600 --> 00:08:57,080 Speaker 1: watch the fish fun. Like there they linger on Ed 165 00:08:57,120 --> 00:09:00,600 Speaker 1: Harris and Michelle Phip for raw dogging and so you know, 166 00:09:00,800 --> 00:09:03,920 Speaker 1: not that not worth the price of admission, but one 167 00:09:03,960 --> 00:09:06,679 Speaker 1: of the more interesting parts of them sure to be, 168 00:09:07,000 --> 00:09:11,240 Speaker 1: and shockingly one of the least graphic yeah right of 169 00:09:11,280 --> 00:09:13,720 Speaker 1: the movie. At least, I do enjoy the representation of 170 00:09:13,760 --> 00:09:20,760 Speaker 1: like people over fifty canoodling very sensuously. Yeah, but it's like, yeah, 171 00:09:20,800 --> 00:09:23,200 Speaker 1: I guess representation. I did not need to see it. 172 00:09:24,480 --> 00:09:27,440 Speaker 1: I did not need to see and maybe this will 173 00:09:27,480 --> 00:09:30,400 Speaker 1: not age well because I'm really I'm really giving it 174 00:09:30,440 --> 00:09:32,959 Speaker 1: to bald people today. But I didn't need to see 175 00:09:33,320 --> 00:09:37,560 Speaker 1: Ed Harris's bald head in coitas I didn't I'll say 176 00:09:37,679 --> 00:09:39,719 Speaker 1: I didn't mean it. Well, it's I mean, this is 177 00:09:39,840 --> 00:09:41,920 Speaker 1: that scene is one of many that does not serve 178 00:09:42,160 --> 00:09:45,640 Speaker 1: the story. What story? There isn't one? Okay, well tell yeah, 179 00:09:45,760 --> 00:09:48,920 Speaker 1: let me do the recap of Mother exclamation Point, and 180 00:09:48,920 --> 00:09:51,080 Speaker 1: I feel free to interrupt anytime. The recap is the 181 00:09:51,120 --> 00:09:57,599 Speaker 1: most plant Yeah. So Mother exclamation Point is about a 182 00:09:57,600 --> 00:10:00,960 Speaker 1: woman who's we don't know. Jennifer Lawrence is character's name, 183 00:10:01,000 --> 00:10:05,480 Speaker 1: although I am dB lists her as mother. She is married. 184 00:10:05,840 --> 00:10:08,640 Speaker 1: She goes I am his mother. At that one point, 185 00:10:08,679 --> 00:10:12,559 Speaker 1: you're like, all the title. That's the name of the movie. 186 00:10:12,920 --> 00:10:17,199 Speaker 1: So she is married to a character played by Heavier Bardem, 187 00:10:17,559 --> 00:10:20,320 Speaker 1: whose name we also don't know. I am dB lists 188 00:10:20,360 --> 00:10:25,199 Speaker 1: him as him I think, right, mother and him Yeah, okay, 189 00:10:25,760 --> 00:10:30,160 Speaker 1: him capital h like that Powerpuff Girl's character. I do 190 00:10:30,280 --> 00:10:34,440 Speaker 1: not know what you're referring to. Oh wait, yeah, yeah, 191 00:10:34,559 --> 00:10:39,920 Speaker 1: the gay devil. Yeah yeah, yeah, okay, I'm a board. Yeah. 192 00:10:40,000 --> 00:10:42,400 Speaker 1: So they are married and they live in a house, 193 00:10:42,480 --> 00:10:46,160 Speaker 1: and the entire movie takes place within this house. At first, 194 00:10:46,160 --> 00:10:47,760 Speaker 1: you don't really know what's going on, and then in 195 00:10:47,760 --> 00:10:49,320 Speaker 1: the rest of the movie you don't know what's going on. 196 00:10:49,440 --> 00:10:55,199 Speaker 1: But so Caitlin, so mother, they live in a house. 197 00:10:55,640 --> 00:11:00,360 Speaker 1: Heavier is a poet, she is a homemakers far as 198 00:11:00,360 --> 00:11:02,559 Speaker 1: we know. She's fixing up this house because there was 199 00:11:02,640 --> 00:11:05,000 Speaker 1: a fire, and we see a glimpse of this fire 200 00:11:05,000 --> 00:11:06,640 Speaker 1: in the very beginning. And then she wakes up and 201 00:11:06,679 --> 00:11:08,920 Speaker 1: she's like, better go downstairs and put some ship on 202 00:11:08,960 --> 00:11:11,800 Speaker 1: the wall. How did they meet? Doesn't serve the metaphor, 203 00:11:11,840 --> 00:11:15,079 Speaker 1: we're not Yeah, And then there's a visitor at the 204 00:11:15,120 --> 00:11:17,520 Speaker 1: house played by Ed Harris. He's like, hey, can I 205 00:11:17,600 --> 00:11:20,640 Speaker 1: stay here? And she's like, you're a stranger, but Heavier 206 00:11:20,800 --> 00:11:24,840 Speaker 1: is like, yeah, stay, you're it's fine. That puts me 207 00:11:24,920 --> 00:11:27,520 Speaker 1: so much. Is like, almost immediately the second the movie starts, 208 00:11:27,679 --> 00:11:31,200 Speaker 1: people start behaving nothing like people exactly, to the point 209 00:11:31,240 --> 00:11:33,199 Speaker 1: where it's just like, well, then what are we supposed 210 00:11:33,240 --> 00:11:35,840 Speaker 1: to be like holding onto here? Because that would never happen, right, 211 00:11:35,920 --> 00:11:38,800 Speaker 1: Only a relatable factor was Jennifer Lawrence badly wanting a 212 00:11:38,800 --> 00:11:41,800 Speaker 1: baby and Javier every time the conversation came up, pushing 213 00:11:41,800 --> 00:11:45,400 Speaker 1: it off, and so you're like, okay, like they're kind 214 00:11:45,400 --> 00:11:49,160 Speaker 1: of this is a stereotype, but I at least understand it. Yeah. 215 00:11:49,280 --> 00:11:52,360 Speaker 1: So Ed Harris shows up, and then his wife played 216 00:11:52,360 --> 00:11:55,960 Speaker 1: by Michelle Peiffer, shows up and turns out they're kind 217 00:11:55,960 --> 00:11:59,800 Speaker 1: of metaphors for Adam and Eve, and then they too, 218 00:12:00,040 --> 00:12:01,959 Speaker 1: uns that show up, who may or may not be 219 00:12:02,160 --> 00:12:04,480 Speaker 1: cane and able. I will say that it took me 220 00:12:04,679 --> 00:12:06,600 Speaker 1: into the first viewing, it took me a little while 221 00:12:06,640 --> 00:12:08,679 Speaker 1: to figure out exactly what the metaphor because I did 222 00:12:08,760 --> 00:12:11,240 Speaker 1: no reading on it. And then someone in the movie 223 00:12:11,240 --> 00:12:14,280 Speaker 1: theater I was in was like, oh, the Bible, and 224 00:12:14,320 --> 00:12:19,680 Speaker 1: everyone was like oh, like genuinely for me was helpful, Yeah, 225 00:12:19,679 --> 00:12:21,840 Speaker 1: because I didn't get it in the first well, the 226 00:12:21,880 --> 00:12:25,120 Speaker 1: moment when the brother killed the other brother, I was like, okay, 227 00:12:25,480 --> 00:12:28,720 Speaker 1: all right now. For me, it was the rib when 228 00:12:29,720 --> 00:12:32,839 Speaker 1: Ed Harris is getting sick and his rib is bleeding. 229 00:12:32,880 --> 00:12:36,000 Speaker 1: I was like, oh, got it, got it, but was 230 00:12:36,120 --> 00:12:38,520 Speaker 1: hoping it would take a sci fi turn and the like, no, 231 00:12:38,679 --> 00:12:41,480 Speaker 1: it's just the Bible. Yeah, I don't know what turn 232 00:12:41,520 --> 00:12:42,839 Speaker 1: I thought it was going to take. I thought it 233 00:12:42,880 --> 00:12:44,880 Speaker 1: was just like a straight up horror movie, and like 234 00:12:45,000 --> 00:12:46,920 Speaker 1: the trailers made it seem like, oh, maybe there's going 235 00:12:46,960 --> 00:12:49,520 Speaker 1: to be like a visitor they like comes and Fox 236 00:12:49,640 --> 00:12:52,199 Speaker 1: shut up and they have to like fight off this intruder. 237 00:12:52,320 --> 00:12:54,079 Speaker 1: But think it must be so hard to have made 238 00:12:54,080 --> 00:12:59,000 Speaker 1: a trailer for it too. It was all whispering over black. Yeah, 239 00:12:59,320 --> 00:13:01,480 Speaker 1: like what else are you gonna do? Like just get 240 00:13:01,520 --> 00:13:03,520 Speaker 1: people in with the injury, because no one's going to 241 00:13:03,800 --> 00:13:08,079 Speaker 1: want to see this, right, So the Sun's show up 242 00:13:08,160 --> 00:13:10,240 Speaker 1: and one of the murders the other one. So then 243 00:13:10,320 --> 00:13:12,800 Speaker 1: like this is kind of when all hell breaks loose 244 00:13:13,040 --> 00:13:16,880 Speaker 1: and more people start showing up and Jennifer Lawrence is like, hey, wait, 245 00:13:16,920 --> 00:13:22,400 Speaker 1: you can't be here, this is my house. Hey, hey, 246 00:13:22,520 --> 00:13:25,920 Speaker 1: do that I can't sit there stop. The sink isn't 247 00:13:26,000 --> 00:13:32,040 Speaker 1: brave down from there so much. She's like, that's like 248 00:13:32,080 --> 00:13:34,959 Speaker 1: the lowest level act of you can possibly be. It's 249 00:13:35,000 --> 00:13:37,280 Speaker 1: like she's saying it and she knows no one's going 250 00:13:37,320 --> 00:13:42,439 Speaker 1: to listen to her, but she's like, well, hey, so 251 00:13:42,840 --> 00:13:44,880 Speaker 1: things come down because she's like get out of here. 252 00:13:44,920 --> 00:13:48,079 Speaker 1: There's like a funeral sort of thing that happens for 253 00:13:48,160 --> 00:13:51,760 Speaker 1: the day, which one is, Oh God, I'm going to 254 00:13:51,800 --> 00:13:57,000 Speaker 1: say his name around the cute one yeah, and then 255 00:13:57,360 --> 00:14:00,400 Speaker 1: the other Gleason plays his brother, Oh really yeah? And 256 00:14:00,440 --> 00:14:02,439 Speaker 1: you know there's more than one Gleason. There's two Gleasons. 257 00:14:02,480 --> 00:14:06,720 Speaker 1: I'm learning and is their dad the other Gleason who 258 00:14:07,400 --> 00:14:10,280 Speaker 1: is in Paddington too. Don't even tell me there's a 259 00:14:10,320 --> 00:14:15,440 Speaker 1: third Gleason. I'll pass out, Okay anyway, Okay, So things 260 00:14:15,480 --> 00:14:18,800 Speaker 1: calm down, and she's like, oh, I want a baby, 261 00:14:19,200 --> 00:14:21,920 Speaker 1: but you won't even fuck me, and he's like, yeah, 262 00:14:21,920 --> 00:14:26,120 Speaker 1: I will, and then they have sex and then we'll 263 00:14:26,120 --> 00:14:28,440 Speaker 1: get to that and then suddenly she wakes up and 264 00:14:28,480 --> 00:14:30,720 Speaker 1: she's like, I'm pregnant. I just know that I am. 265 00:14:30,800 --> 00:14:36,360 Speaker 1: And then this inspires him a k god a testament 266 00:14:37,760 --> 00:14:39,720 Speaker 1: I get started. So he get started, and it's like 267 00:14:39,760 --> 00:14:43,200 Speaker 1: this beautiful masterpiece. And then his publisher calls and she's like, 268 00:14:43,200 --> 00:14:45,800 Speaker 1: oh my god, it's great. The twist is it's Kristin 269 00:14:45,800 --> 00:14:50,000 Speaker 1: wigg for some reason, who is like wigging out in 270 00:14:50,040 --> 00:14:54,040 Speaker 1: this movie. So then a whole new horde of people 271 00:14:54,320 --> 00:14:57,240 Speaker 1: show up and they're like, oh my god, God, you 272 00:14:57,400 --> 00:15:00,880 Speaker 1: did such a great thing. We love you. More. Chaos 273 00:15:01,400 --> 00:15:06,400 Speaker 1: breaks loose, and Jennifer Lawrence says, hey, hey, you being 274 00:15:06,560 --> 00:15:10,960 Speaker 1: here up and then all comes to a head. Gives 275 00:15:11,000 --> 00:15:13,760 Speaker 1: birth in public. She gives birth, well, she's in a room, 276 00:15:13,800 --> 00:15:19,920 Speaker 1: but then her baby immediately gets stolen and eaten, passed around, passed, 277 00:15:20,200 --> 00:15:23,600 Speaker 1: ripped limb from limb, and eaten by now the fans 278 00:15:23,600 --> 00:15:27,360 Speaker 1: who are in robes. Yeah, but there's also a rave 279 00:15:27,440 --> 00:15:32,760 Speaker 1: happening in the corner. A rave. There's like execution, people 280 00:15:32,760 --> 00:15:36,360 Speaker 1: have guns. Yeah, it's like and God's like, it's fine 281 00:15:36,440 --> 00:15:42,160 Speaker 1: that they ate our baby like they love me. It's fine. Also, 282 00:15:42,560 --> 00:15:46,840 Speaker 1: so I think most people agree that Jennifer Lawrence's character 283 00:15:47,120 --> 00:15:50,880 Speaker 1: is a metaphor for Mother Earth, right, so like all 284 00:15:50,920 --> 00:15:55,440 Speaker 1: these people showing up is ruining no resper and her 285 00:15:55,440 --> 00:16:01,040 Speaker 1: mother room. Yeah, they're breaking her sink breaks one of 286 00:16:01,080 --> 00:16:04,800 Speaker 1: my favorite lines in that movie. Excuse me, that's not brains, 287 00:16:05,480 --> 00:16:09,560 Speaker 1: like Jeffcose most the movie trying to fix up this 288 00:16:09,600 --> 00:16:11,960 Speaker 1: house and then people come and funk it all up. 289 00:16:12,120 --> 00:16:15,120 Speaker 1: So there's the metaphor where humans are just fucking up 290 00:16:15,360 --> 00:16:18,640 Speaker 1: Mother Earth. So at the very very end, she goes 291 00:16:18,720 --> 00:16:22,840 Speaker 1: from being all like hey to hey, and she like 292 00:16:23,240 --> 00:16:26,560 Speaker 1: basically lights the whole house on fire. She's all burnt 293 00:16:26,600 --> 00:16:28,680 Speaker 1: up and she's all funked up and everyone's like dead. 294 00:16:28,960 --> 00:16:31,680 Speaker 1: And then God carries her and he's like, oh no, 295 00:16:31,880 --> 00:16:34,960 Speaker 1: what have I done? And she's like I have nothing 296 00:16:35,040 --> 00:16:38,200 Speaker 1: left to give, and then he reaches into her abdomen 297 00:16:39,160 --> 00:16:44,040 Speaker 1: and pulls out Allah the fifth element. When Bruce Willis's 298 00:16:44,120 --> 00:16:47,480 Speaker 1: character takes some stones out of the opera singer, you 299 00:16:47,480 --> 00:16:51,040 Speaker 1: guys know what I'm talking about, right, No? No, he 300 00:16:51,080 --> 00:16:53,320 Speaker 1: takes out the heart of the ocean, the like this 301 00:16:53,440 --> 00:16:57,040 Speaker 1: weird this like crystal from her and then I guess 302 00:16:57,040 --> 00:17:00,760 Speaker 1: it resets time. It fixes the house, and then there's 303 00:17:00,760 --> 00:17:08,000 Speaker 1: a new woman and baby baby. So God, this movie 304 00:17:08,080 --> 00:17:11,800 Speaker 1: is so annoying. That's the story, if you can call 305 00:17:11,840 --> 00:17:15,360 Speaker 1: it that. Yeah, yeah, And so it's a. It's an 306 00:17:15,359 --> 00:17:20,120 Speaker 1: extended metaphor, it's allegorical. It's the laziest screenwriting I've ever seen. 307 00:17:20,200 --> 00:17:22,720 Speaker 1: Well he wrote, so yeah, like the best left in 308 00:17:22,760 --> 00:17:25,800 Speaker 1: the ever note is my review of this movie. Like, 309 00:17:25,960 --> 00:17:28,000 Speaker 1: I was reading an interview with their in Aronowski and 310 00:17:28,000 --> 00:17:30,720 Speaker 1: he said that he wrote the I know, did he 311 00:17:30,800 --> 00:17:33,000 Speaker 1: read the draft in like a day? He said, five days? 312 00:17:33,440 --> 00:17:37,960 Speaker 1: And it shows Yeah. I feel like every time someone 313 00:17:38,200 --> 00:17:40,680 Speaker 1: is bragging about how quickly they wrote something and then 314 00:17:40,720 --> 00:17:43,040 Speaker 1: you see it, you're just like, yeah, maybe do a 315 00:17:43,200 --> 00:17:47,560 Speaker 1: second draft, take a little time. Yeah, Like what was 316 00:17:47,640 --> 00:17:50,840 Speaker 1: the rush to make Mother Like? It's not an urgent 317 00:17:50,960 --> 00:17:57,520 Speaker 1: piece of anything? Five days? Wow? Wow. So as far 318 00:17:57,600 --> 00:18:02,080 Speaker 1: as the treatment of the female character goes, I don't 319 00:18:02,080 --> 00:18:04,800 Speaker 1: even know where to start, because this movie is such 320 00:18:05,160 --> 00:18:10,640 Speaker 1: a heavy allegory. You could say, well, like she's personifying 321 00:18:10,680 --> 00:18:14,280 Speaker 1: mother Earth and mother Earth is you know, just a 322 00:18:14,320 --> 00:18:18,120 Speaker 1: place she can't be that active, But then why bother 323 00:18:18,240 --> 00:18:21,200 Speaker 1: making a movie where your main character can't be active 324 00:18:21,680 --> 00:18:24,680 Speaker 1: Because the whole movie is her reacting to stuff. She 325 00:18:24,720 --> 00:18:27,280 Speaker 1: does not play an active role, and pretty much anything 326 00:18:27,320 --> 00:18:30,880 Speaker 1: decisions are made heavier. Bardem is always like calling the shots, 327 00:18:31,400 --> 00:18:34,680 Speaker 1: inviting people in not running anything by her, and then 328 00:18:34,720 --> 00:18:37,920 Speaker 1: she just has to keep being like, wait a minute, Hey, 329 00:18:38,200 --> 00:18:41,120 Speaker 1: you can't do that, you can't be here. So it's 330 00:18:41,440 --> 00:18:46,040 Speaker 1: her being completely reactionary. So even though she's the protagonist, 331 00:18:46,560 --> 00:18:48,719 Speaker 1: she has no specific goal in the story, and she 332 00:18:48,800 --> 00:18:51,359 Speaker 1: had except to, I guess, be a mother, and that's 333 00:18:51,400 --> 00:18:54,280 Speaker 1: sort of hinted at every now and then. She wants children, 334 00:18:54,280 --> 00:18:57,399 Speaker 1: and she wants to be fixing up this house, but 335 00:18:57,880 --> 00:19:00,679 Speaker 1: it's nothing that specific and then and she's not active 336 00:19:00,680 --> 00:19:03,120 Speaker 1: in the pursuit of any goal, so she's just reacting 337 00:19:03,119 --> 00:19:05,000 Speaker 1: to all the things that are happening, which is one 338 00:19:05,000 --> 00:19:08,240 Speaker 1: of the reasons this movie might not be very good. Yeah, 339 00:19:08,480 --> 00:19:11,320 Speaker 1: so you have a very passive protagonist until like literally 340 00:19:11,359 --> 00:19:13,840 Speaker 1: the last five minutes in the movie, right, and at 341 00:19:13,840 --> 00:19:17,960 Speaker 1: which point her goal just changes to like either survive 342 00:19:18,119 --> 00:19:21,560 Speaker 1: and then failing that to like, you know, wipe everybody out. 343 00:19:22,240 --> 00:19:24,520 Speaker 1: It's just, yeah, it's not fun to watch. And it's like, 344 00:19:24,560 --> 00:19:26,919 Speaker 1: there's almost every point when we were watching this movie together, 345 00:19:27,440 --> 00:19:31,199 Speaker 1: there's no real moment with with this character that you 346 00:19:31,240 --> 00:19:34,320 Speaker 1: can't counterpoint with like, oh, but how would the metaphor 347 00:19:34,400 --> 00:19:36,920 Speaker 1: work if that didn't? But I feel like that just 348 00:19:36,960 --> 00:19:39,760 Speaker 1: speaks to the fact that then don't tell that story. 349 00:19:40,200 --> 00:19:41,720 Speaker 1: It should have been a short film. It would have 350 00:19:41,720 --> 00:19:44,680 Speaker 1: been a beautiful short film. But also like the running 351 00:19:44,680 --> 00:19:45,920 Speaker 1: time of this movie was like what two and a 352 00:19:45,960 --> 00:19:49,200 Speaker 1: half hours. It did not need to be that fucking long. 353 00:19:50,160 --> 00:19:54,639 Speaker 1: It was very long. I mean the closest I think that, 354 00:19:54,880 --> 00:19:57,920 Speaker 1: like the gas lighting between Javier Burdham and Jennifer Launce, 355 00:19:58,000 --> 00:20:01,359 Speaker 1: there are parts of that that are very interesting and 356 00:20:01,359 --> 00:20:05,240 Speaker 1: and like his avoidance is interesting, and there's i mean 357 00:20:05,359 --> 00:20:07,800 Speaker 1: a number of scenes where she's like, hey, this is 358 00:20:07,800 --> 00:20:09,720 Speaker 1: wrong and he's like, what are you talking about? No, 359 00:20:09,800 --> 00:20:13,920 Speaker 1: it's not. Everything's great anyways, make toast goodbye, and you're 360 00:20:13,960 --> 00:20:16,760 Speaker 1: just like, okay that there's some sort of but even 361 00:20:16,800 --> 00:20:19,560 Speaker 1: that is like barely paid off and paid off on 362 00:20:19,680 --> 00:20:22,040 Speaker 1: isn't even the word. I think my favorite scene in 363 00:20:22,040 --> 00:20:25,200 Speaker 1: this movie, even though it happens as the movie is 364 00:20:25,200 --> 00:20:28,840 Speaker 1: getting exceptionally bad, but like the scene that worked for 365 00:20:28,920 --> 00:20:33,119 Speaker 1: me was the scene where Javier Burden steals the baby. 366 00:20:33,280 --> 00:20:34,960 Speaker 1: That was like the part of the movie where I 367 00:20:34,960 --> 00:20:40,119 Speaker 1: felt like the most like my blood pressure was extremely high, 368 00:20:40,200 --> 00:20:42,719 Speaker 1: and that was like, I don't know, that was like 369 00:20:42,760 --> 00:20:46,520 Speaker 1: the moment for me where Jennifer Lawrence's character felt most 370 00:20:47,080 --> 00:20:52,080 Speaker 1: motivated and most threatened and like most able to control 371 00:20:52,200 --> 00:20:55,200 Speaker 1: the situation, and you have such anxiety of like he's 372 00:20:55,200 --> 00:20:56,960 Speaker 1: going to take the baby. He's going to take the 373 00:20:56,960 --> 00:20:59,200 Speaker 1: baby the second she falls asleep, and then she fall asleep, 374 00:20:59,240 --> 00:21:00,880 Speaker 1: and then he takes the baby, and then things get 375 00:21:00,920 --> 00:21:07,040 Speaker 1: really bad. They eat the baby, the baby, like the yeah, 376 00:21:07,119 --> 00:21:09,280 Speaker 1: the worst thing you can do to all fucking baby, 377 00:21:09,359 --> 00:21:14,720 Speaker 1: and they're very bad, very bad. It's one of those 378 00:21:14,720 --> 00:21:17,960 Speaker 1: weird things where I don't regret watching the movie, but 379 00:21:18,080 --> 00:21:20,760 Speaker 1: I never want to see it again. I saw it 380 00:21:21,040 --> 00:21:24,040 Speaker 1: twice now, and it was even more painful the second time. 381 00:21:24,359 --> 00:21:27,480 Speaker 1: So okay. So there's things about it that I'm like, Okay, 382 00:21:27,520 --> 00:21:29,560 Speaker 1: Like you said, if you sort of look at it 383 00:21:29,560 --> 00:21:33,119 Speaker 1: through the lens of it being an abusive relationship, there's 384 00:21:33,200 --> 00:21:35,399 Speaker 1: maybe some things to take away from it. I think 385 00:21:35,440 --> 00:21:37,720 Speaker 1: there's also some things to take away if you sort 386 00:21:37,760 --> 00:21:41,160 Speaker 1: of examine it from He's supposed to be God, she 387 00:21:41,600 --> 00:21:44,000 Speaker 1: is Mother Earth. But I think you also make an 388 00:21:44,080 --> 00:21:47,760 Speaker 1: argument for her being just sort of like a metaphor 389 00:21:47,920 --> 00:21:51,080 Speaker 1: for just like womanhood in general, Like if he's the 390 00:21:51,119 --> 00:21:55,080 Speaker 1: patriarchy ish sort of thing, like her whole world is 391 00:21:55,080 --> 00:21:59,360 Speaker 1: strictly domestic. It is, and I guess if you look 392 00:21:59,400 --> 00:22:01,080 Speaker 1: at it like that, you could argue that the movie 393 00:22:01,160 --> 00:22:03,840 Speaker 1: kind of makes a comment on how no one takes 394 00:22:03,840 --> 00:22:07,840 Speaker 1: her seriously, no one listens to her. She's mistreated and 395 00:22:08,800 --> 00:22:12,320 Speaker 1: it's bad, and and then she retaliates and sort of 396 00:22:12,359 --> 00:22:15,080 Speaker 1: like there's like some sort of catharsis there. I don't know. 397 00:22:15,119 --> 00:22:18,440 Speaker 1: I was thinking that too, but then reaching maybe because 398 00:22:18,480 --> 00:22:21,520 Speaker 1: then in the end she still offers up the very 399 00:22:21,600 --> 00:22:24,600 Speaker 1: last thing she has, which is weird crystal heart, and 400 00:22:24,640 --> 00:22:29,679 Speaker 1: you're like, Okay, she never takes something for herself. I 401 00:22:29,680 --> 00:22:32,920 Speaker 1: don't know. I I was thinking that too before I 402 00:22:32,960 --> 00:22:35,120 Speaker 1: had figured out the Bible thing when I was seeing 403 00:22:35,119 --> 00:22:36,679 Speaker 1: it the first time, and I was like listening to 404 00:22:36,680 --> 00:22:41,080 Speaker 1: this man's head. Um. But but at the beginning, I 405 00:22:41,119 --> 00:22:43,960 Speaker 1: was like, okay, there, maybe there's some sort of gender 406 00:22:43,960 --> 00:22:47,240 Speaker 1: commentary happening. But then Michelle Peiffer's character comes in and 407 00:22:47,280 --> 00:22:50,760 Speaker 1: it's just as awful, that's true, if not worse, to 408 00:22:50,920 --> 00:22:53,720 Speaker 1: Jennifer Lawrence's character, and I was like, Okay, so maybe 409 00:22:53,760 --> 00:22:56,480 Speaker 1: that's not what is trying to be said here, because 410 00:22:56,840 --> 00:22:59,920 Speaker 1: the second woman we see on screen is just as 411 00:23:00,080 --> 00:23:04,600 Speaker 1: dismissive and means in a way that feels if you 412 00:23:04,640 --> 00:23:09,879 Speaker 1: don't recognize the stupid fucking metaphor, Like most of what 413 00:23:09,920 --> 00:23:15,080 Speaker 1: Michelle Peiffer does, especially feels crazy, unmotivated of just like 414 00:23:15,440 --> 00:23:18,600 Speaker 1: why are you being mean? Why are you asking this 415 00:23:18,760 --> 00:23:23,520 Speaker 1: woman about her sex life, like her home right right? 416 00:23:23,600 --> 00:23:27,800 Speaker 1: Like why are you getting drunk? Like what I drinking 417 00:23:27,840 --> 00:23:30,320 Speaker 1: a mich Hard lemonade? Though she is drinking a mice 418 00:23:30,440 --> 00:23:34,040 Speaker 1: Hard lemonade. But it's Michelle's Hard lemonade. It's yeah, that's true. 419 00:23:34,840 --> 00:23:41,840 Speaker 1: If we found it up, it's weird. I I really 420 00:23:41,920 --> 00:23:45,160 Speaker 1: enjoyed Michelle Peiffer's performance in this movie because I feel 421 00:23:45,200 --> 00:23:48,399 Speaker 1: like she was possibly one of the only actors who 422 00:23:48,520 --> 00:23:50,800 Speaker 1: knew that she was kind of in a campy movie, 423 00:23:51,600 --> 00:23:53,640 Speaker 1: because I like she gives a kind of campy performance 424 00:23:53,640 --> 00:23:56,200 Speaker 1: because she's like always like draping herself over a piza 425 00:23:56,240 --> 00:24:01,160 Speaker 1: furniture and it's like, so tell me everything, okay, relax, 426 00:24:01,359 --> 00:24:04,560 Speaker 1: but I don't know, like it's and also like this 427 00:24:04,600 --> 00:24:06,960 Speaker 1: movie could have been more fun if it was if 428 00:24:07,000 --> 00:24:10,920 Speaker 1: it had a more campy tone, but there's no fun. 429 00:24:11,080 --> 00:24:14,840 Speaker 1: It takes itself extremely seriously, yes, and it makes it 430 00:24:15,119 --> 00:24:18,560 Speaker 1: for not a fun watch, Like it is nothing entertaining 431 00:24:18,600 --> 00:24:22,480 Speaker 1: about this movie, And I think like the whole message 432 00:24:22,520 --> 00:24:25,639 Speaker 1: of the movie is almost so immature and juvenile, like 433 00:24:25,680 --> 00:24:27,760 Speaker 1: a thought that we all have when we're like thirteen 434 00:24:27,800 --> 00:24:31,640 Speaker 1: of like oh we're bacteria, man, we're ruining the first 435 00:24:31,840 --> 00:24:35,720 Speaker 1: Like like so it's like, what exactly motivated you to 436 00:24:35,800 --> 00:24:39,960 Speaker 1: make something that's saying something that everybody has already thought 437 00:24:39,960 --> 00:24:43,240 Speaker 1: and like kind of dismissed, right, And it's like, yeah, 438 00:24:43,280 --> 00:24:46,679 Speaker 1: who who is the intended audience for this? Who's supposed 439 00:24:46,680 --> 00:24:48,479 Speaker 1: to be learning? Right? And what are we what are 440 00:24:48,480 --> 00:24:51,680 Speaker 1: we even supposed to take away apart from the very 441 00:24:51,720 --> 00:24:53,840 Speaker 1: obvious like yeah, we're fucking up the ears, but then 442 00:24:53,880 --> 00:24:57,639 Speaker 1: like because it's a metaphor for Old Testament and then 443 00:24:57,680 --> 00:25:00,840 Speaker 1: New Testament. But then also like Odd is married to 444 00:25:00,920 --> 00:25:04,160 Speaker 1: mother Earth, Like her character doesn't really fit into that 445 00:25:04,359 --> 00:25:09,240 Speaker 1: allegory because almost is mother Earth because that's what they're destroying, 446 00:25:10,080 --> 00:25:14,520 Speaker 1: Like you're trying he's like doing metaphor hats on metaphor hats. Yeah, 447 00:25:14,560 --> 00:25:17,120 Speaker 1: it's like too many layers and none of it really 448 00:25:17,200 --> 00:25:19,800 Speaker 1: works out, especially because so many of the characters in 449 00:25:19,800 --> 00:25:23,120 Speaker 1: this movie behave in ways that people do not behave. 450 00:25:23,440 --> 00:25:25,240 Speaker 1: So fine, if you want to make a movie that's 451 00:25:25,240 --> 00:25:28,600 Speaker 1: an allegory for something, For example, Paddington One, it's an 452 00:25:28,600 --> 00:25:31,960 Speaker 1: allegory for immigration and racism, and it's done very well. 453 00:25:32,600 --> 00:25:37,840 Speaker 1: But mother exclamation point is like all these metaphors mashed 454 00:25:37,880 --> 00:25:39,840 Speaker 1: up together in a way that like none of it 455 00:25:39,880 --> 00:25:43,040 Speaker 1: makes sense, none of it works. Yeah, it's letters are 456 00:25:43,080 --> 00:25:45,840 Speaker 1: like doing things that no one would do ever in 457 00:25:45,880 --> 00:25:48,280 Speaker 1: behaving in ways that no one would ever behave. It's 458 00:25:48,359 --> 00:25:52,520 Speaker 1: literally like UCB one oh one ship of like you 459 00:25:52,560 --> 00:25:56,879 Speaker 1: have to map something on something else that makes sense, 460 00:25:57,240 --> 00:26:00,199 Speaker 1: and if it doesn't make sense, find something different to 461 00:26:01,119 --> 00:26:03,720 Speaker 1: you know, fit it into. You can't just make something 462 00:26:04,160 --> 00:26:06,560 Speaker 1: like it's just so forced. The whole thing is so 463 00:26:06,640 --> 00:26:10,800 Speaker 1: forth And I think that he tried to possibly I'm curious, 464 00:26:11,119 --> 00:26:14,280 Speaker 1: what do you think that Jennifer Lawrence was a metaphor 465 00:26:14,320 --> 00:26:17,240 Speaker 1: for Earth, but so was the house and they both 466 00:26:17,280 --> 00:26:21,000 Speaker 1: sort of had a weird pulsing something where the house 467 00:26:21,080 --> 00:26:24,200 Speaker 1: had a womb in the basement. But then also you 468 00:26:24,359 --> 00:26:26,440 Speaker 1: like you would touch the walls and then there would 469 00:26:26,440 --> 00:26:29,600 Speaker 1: be like a heartbeat. They were connected somehow. I was like, 470 00:26:30,560 --> 00:26:33,439 Speaker 1: it just didn't quite make it. I think that, but 471 00:26:33,480 --> 00:26:35,480 Speaker 1: I'm like, what is the takeaway from that? She is 472 00:26:35,640 --> 00:26:39,120 Speaker 1: the house. Also, the movie seems to be saying that 473 00:26:39,280 --> 00:26:43,879 Speaker 1: religion destroyed Mother Earth, which like, what was Kristen Wigs 474 00:26:43,880 --> 00:26:47,200 Speaker 1: supposed to represent? I don't know what? Was she a metaphor? 475 00:26:47,600 --> 00:26:51,359 Speaker 1: For see? I so like popular religion or something. Maybe 476 00:26:51,520 --> 00:26:54,919 Speaker 1: I've never read the Bible brag so I did not 477 00:26:55,080 --> 00:26:58,040 Speaker 1: pick up on the Bible. I can't stop reading the Bible. 478 00:26:59,000 --> 00:27:00,680 Speaker 1: I didn't pick up on other time I saw it. 479 00:27:01,080 --> 00:27:02,600 Speaker 1: I watched the whole thing, and I was like, what 480 00:27:02,640 --> 00:27:04,640 Speaker 1: the funk? I was like, I know there's a metaphor here, 481 00:27:04,800 --> 00:27:07,000 Speaker 1: I just don't know what it is. I started reading 482 00:27:07,000 --> 00:27:10,000 Speaker 1: about it, and I was like, oh, it's a Bible thing. 483 00:27:10,880 --> 00:27:13,080 Speaker 1: And then I was like, because I was I'm not 484 00:27:13,240 --> 00:27:16,000 Speaker 1: super familiar with the various stories of the Bible. I 485 00:27:16,000 --> 00:27:17,919 Speaker 1: didn't pick up on it. They're not great. But I 486 00:27:17,960 --> 00:27:21,960 Speaker 1: also like, but now that I know it, I was like, oh, yes, 487 00:27:22,000 --> 00:27:23,800 Speaker 1: this movie does bash you over the head with all 488 00:27:23,800 --> 00:27:28,240 Speaker 1: these metaphors. But also, I don't know, well, that's that's 489 00:27:28,280 --> 00:27:30,000 Speaker 1: something that we were talking about. Two it was like, 490 00:27:30,600 --> 00:27:33,480 Speaker 1: it really bothers me, and this is part of why, 491 00:27:33,600 --> 00:27:37,480 Speaker 1: Like some David Lynch movies don't do it for me 492 00:27:37,560 --> 00:27:39,879 Speaker 1: at all. Of just like I don't like when you 493 00:27:40,080 --> 00:27:42,600 Speaker 1: go into a movie and it's like, whoever made this 494 00:27:42,880 --> 00:27:45,920 Speaker 1: wants me to feel dumb as rocks for at least 495 00:27:45,920 --> 00:27:48,920 Speaker 1: part of it, and I don't like that, Like it's 496 00:27:48,960 --> 00:27:52,880 Speaker 1: not a good feeling. It's a very pretentious movie as well, 497 00:27:53,040 --> 00:27:54,960 Speaker 1: which really it was like it felt like I was 498 00:27:55,040 --> 00:27:59,800 Speaker 1: being condescended to the whole time, Like the same thing 499 00:27:59,800 --> 00:28:02,400 Speaker 1: happen to me when I watched like I've watched eraser Head, 500 00:28:02,440 --> 00:28:04,639 Speaker 1: and I'm just like, what am I supposed to be 501 00:28:04,720 --> 00:28:07,600 Speaker 1: getting from this? What does this mean? I just I 502 00:28:07,600 --> 00:28:10,480 Speaker 1: don't like doing stupid. It's kind of interesting how a 503 00:28:10,600 --> 00:28:14,600 Speaker 1: director and his script can just be so condescending and 504 00:28:15,160 --> 00:28:17,960 Speaker 1: dumb at the same time you're like, wow, this is 505 00:28:17,960 --> 00:28:19,680 Speaker 1: a feat. You should getting a word for this. His 506 00:28:19,800 --> 00:28:22,240 Speaker 1: mother also reads is like a short story that someone 507 00:28:22,280 --> 00:28:26,000 Speaker 1: in ninth grade was like a little subversive would have written. Right, 508 00:28:26,560 --> 00:28:31,480 Speaker 1: it takes but also it's a metaphor and they eat 509 00:28:31,520 --> 00:28:34,520 Speaker 1: the baby. Yeah, this for my life. I'm just like, oh, 510 00:28:34,640 --> 00:28:38,760 Speaker 1: I'm sure my brother's film school friends are roughing over this. 511 00:28:39,000 --> 00:28:42,320 Speaker 1: They're like oh my god, he's a genius. It's interesting 512 00:28:42,320 --> 00:28:44,880 Speaker 1: because I feel like, you know, Aroonowski is like, whatever 513 00:28:44,960 --> 00:28:49,280 Speaker 1: this male outour ever heard of a male tour? They 514 00:28:49,280 --> 00:28:53,440 Speaker 1: exist on this exclusively. Who chose to have a female 515 00:28:53,480 --> 00:28:58,200 Speaker 1: protagonist and chose to do nothing with her? That really 516 00:28:58,240 --> 00:29:01,000 Speaker 1: bothers me, and I feel like sets a fall precedent 517 00:29:01,320 --> 00:29:04,920 Speaker 1: of you know, I'm sure you know. And unless he's 518 00:29:05,080 --> 00:29:08,840 Speaker 1: more woke than I give him credit for that, Aroonowski 519 00:29:08,880 --> 00:29:11,680 Speaker 1: would look at this and be like, female protagonist, So 520 00:29:12,000 --> 00:29:14,400 Speaker 1: I'm a feminist icon. I did it. I did it 521 00:29:14,560 --> 00:29:17,280 Speaker 1: because she's there, and I don't photograph her like she's 522 00:29:17,320 --> 00:29:20,120 Speaker 1: porn and I did it. You see her face, I 523 00:29:20,160 --> 00:29:22,520 Speaker 1: did like And that just that bugs me so much 524 00:29:22,520 --> 00:29:26,600 Speaker 1: because I feel like that just lets future directors get 525 00:29:26,640 --> 00:29:29,760 Speaker 1: away with a being like a man can have a 526 00:29:29,760 --> 00:29:33,200 Speaker 1: female protagonist, wh stress woman direct all the movies. And 527 00:29:33,200 --> 00:29:36,240 Speaker 1: and also it's like that that character Jennifer lawng as 528 00:29:36,280 --> 00:29:39,160 Speaker 1: the character, that person doesn't exist. That person is never mean, 529 00:29:39,480 --> 00:29:43,240 Speaker 1: none of these characters have ever. It's just I mean, 530 00:29:43,760 --> 00:29:47,440 Speaker 1: that bugs me. And then it's just bad writing. As 531 00:29:47,440 --> 00:29:50,480 Speaker 1: I mentioned before, she's reacting to things that happen. But 532 00:29:50,480 --> 00:29:52,840 Speaker 1: she's not driving the story forward. Things are happening around her, 533 00:29:52,840 --> 00:29:55,480 Speaker 1: and she's reacting to them, and she's putting up She's 534 00:29:55,520 --> 00:29:58,600 Speaker 1: protesting sometimes, but almost never in a way that it 535 00:29:58,640 --> 00:30:01,440 Speaker 1: actually gets results or or anything happens because of a 536 00:30:01,520 --> 00:30:04,160 Speaker 1: choice she makes. Like she's just reacting to the things 537 00:30:04,160 --> 00:30:07,200 Speaker 1: that are happening around her. She never alters her approach. No, 538 00:30:07,480 --> 00:30:13,280 Speaker 1: that either approaches universally, Hey stop stop that. Which, like again, 539 00:30:13,360 --> 00:30:17,520 Speaker 1: because she's personifying Mother Earth, you could maybe argue, well, 540 00:30:17,800 --> 00:30:21,560 Speaker 1: the Earth doesn't fight back, but actually it doesn't, like deliberately, 541 00:30:21,640 --> 00:30:24,080 Speaker 1: the Earth is never like making a conscious choice to 542 00:30:24,120 --> 00:30:26,320 Speaker 1: be like, oh, well you did this thing to me, 543 00:30:26,440 --> 00:30:30,880 Speaker 1: I'm gonna fucking have a hurricane. But it's just so 544 00:30:30,960 --> 00:30:35,520 Speaker 1: weird to make the choice to personify something like that. 545 00:30:35,840 --> 00:30:39,360 Speaker 1: But also like that character, just rendering her so passive 546 00:30:39,560 --> 00:30:41,280 Speaker 1: is like, what's the point why you even tell a story? 547 00:30:41,320 --> 00:30:43,800 Speaker 1: If you want to make a movie about people and 548 00:30:43,800 --> 00:30:48,360 Speaker 1: how they've fucked up the earth Watch Koyana Scotsy. It's 549 00:30:48,360 --> 00:30:51,840 Speaker 1: a weird experimental movie from the early eighties, but it 550 00:30:51,880 --> 00:30:55,600 Speaker 1: does a better job getting this message across anyway. Shout 551 00:30:55,600 --> 00:30:58,880 Speaker 1: out to all my Koyana Scots heads out there. Wow, really, 552 00:30:59,000 --> 00:31:04,480 Speaker 1: flero that man master's degree today, Jesus Christ. I think 553 00:31:04,480 --> 00:31:06,720 Speaker 1: the problem was a he wrote it way too quickly, 554 00:31:06,840 --> 00:31:09,840 Speaker 1: and is soul was so passionate about it and had 555 00:31:09,880 --> 00:31:14,240 Speaker 1: the resources to make a film immediately that he probably 556 00:31:14,240 --> 00:31:18,040 Speaker 1: spent no time actually thinking about it or putting it 557 00:31:18,040 --> 00:31:19,760 Speaker 1: in the drawer and waiting on it for a couple 558 00:31:19,800 --> 00:31:22,000 Speaker 1: of months. I mean, in a a lot of the interviews, 559 00:31:22,000 --> 00:31:24,280 Speaker 1: I know you haven't read them, but he's so fucking 560 00:31:24,320 --> 00:31:26,520 Speaker 1: psyched on this. He's like, you know, because we ruined 561 00:31:26,680 --> 00:31:29,080 Speaker 1: Mother Earth with climate change, and we we do all 562 00:31:29,120 --> 00:31:31,240 Speaker 1: these and we're drilling into her and then and then 563 00:31:31,280 --> 00:31:33,960 Speaker 1: all the an overpopulation, and you're like, oh, wow, like 564 00:31:34,120 --> 00:31:36,840 Speaker 1: you this is a little passion project for you. You 565 00:31:36,880 --> 00:31:39,760 Speaker 1: think you're being so hashtag deep. Yeah. I think he 566 00:31:39,800 --> 00:31:41,840 Speaker 1: didn't take the time that he should have to really 567 00:31:41,840 --> 00:31:45,120 Speaker 1: evaluate this movie. Yeah, I mean, just in general, like 568 00:31:45,160 --> 00:31:48,840 Speaker 1: the more famous filmmakers and writers get, the more they 569 00:31:48,840 --> 00:31:51,720 Speaker 1: should like make sure the people around them are being 570 00:31:51,800 --> 00:31:55,400 Speaker 1: honest with them before they start something. Because I'm sure 571 00:31:55,440 --> 00:31:58,760 Speaker 1: that you know, most famous people have enough yes men 572 00:31:58,760 --> 00:32:02,880 Speaker 1: around them to be like, yeah, real hack biblical metaphor 573 00:32:03,040 --> 00:32:07,080 Speaker 1: love it amazing great, But yeah, I mean, that's that 574 00:32:07,200 --> 00:32:09,719 Speaker 1: sucks if you genuinely I mean, and it sounds like 575 00:32:09,720 --> 00:32:13,040 Speaker 1: he genuinely didn't know how like juvenile and silly it 576 00:32:13,240 --> 00:32:17,320 Speaker 1: was because perhaps no one said, um, hi, excuse me, 577 00:32:17,480 --> 00:32:20,880 Speaker 1: this is dumb. Hey, you stop that, Darren kiss it 578 00:32:20,960 --> 00:32:26,320 Speaker 1: a race, Darren stopped writing that scrab your dad needs 579 00:32:26,360 --> 00:32:30,960 Speaker 1: another dross. Hey that he's like, too late, I'm print again. 580 00:32:33,520 --> 00:32:38,520 Speaker 1: And then they eat the baby. Can we talk about 581 00:32:38,720 --> 00:32:43,040 Speaker 1: the scene where so it starts with Ed Harris and 582 00:32:43,080 --> 00:32:46,960 Speaker 1: all those people have left, and she's like, my life 583 00:32:46,960 --> 00:32:49,640 Speaker 1: didn't turn out the way I wanted it to. You 584 00:32:49,720 --> 00:32:51,680 Speaker 1: talk about wanting to have kids, but you won't even 585 00:32:51,720 --> 00:32:54,880 Speaker 1: fuck me. And then he like lunges at her and 586 00:32:55,240 --> 00:32:58,040 Speaker 1: is like grabbing her and kissing her, and she is 587 00:32:58,560 --> 00:33:03,720 Speaker 1: very vocally physically resisting. She's saying no nos, and she's 588 00:33:03,760 --> 00:33:05,560 Speaker 1: fighting back, She's trying to push him off, and he 589 00:33:05,640 --> 00:33:08,680 Speaker 1: keeps doing it. He continues, and then it changes from 590 00:33:08,680 --> 00:33:13,680 Speaker 1: her resisting to her being into it suddenly, which I 591 00:33:13,720 --> 00:33:16,719 Speaker 1: think sends a very dangerous message. And I think this 592 00:33:16,760 --> 00:33:19,080 Speaker 1: is another hint that this is a movie with a 593 00:33:19,080 --> 00:33:22,360 Speaker 1: female protagonist but directed by a man. It sends a 594 00:33:22,440 --> 00:33:25,000 Speaker 1: dangerous message. You see this all the time, all the time. 595 00:33:25,200 --> 00:33:27,719 Speaker 1: There's a really good lade Runners, the one I always 596 00:33:27,720 --> 00:33:32,360 Speaker 1: go straight to resist, Resist, Resist, and now she loves you. 597 00:33:32,840 --> 00:33:35,840 Speaker 1: Like it happens in like Empire Strikes back to with 598 00:33:35,880 --> 00:33:38,920 Speaker 1: Han Solo trying to come on to lay Um. Pop 599 00:33:39,000 --> 00:33:41,600 Speaker 1: Culture Detective has a really great video essay about this, 600 00:33:41,640 --> 00:33:45,600 Speaker 1: about how a lot of movies will paint this scene 601 00:33:45,800 --> 00:33:49,520 Speaker 1: of a man kind of aggressively coming on to a woman. 602 00:33:49,920 --> 00:33:54,440 Speaker 1: She is resisting, but then something happens all of a 603 00:33:54,440 --> 00:33:57,520 Speaker 1: sudden because he keeps trying and then suddenly she's into 604 00:33:57,560 --> 00:34:00,280 Speaker 1: it and she thinks it's hot. And what you or 605 00:34:00,360 --> 00:34:04,320 Speaker 1: not mentioning is that every single character that this video, 606 00:34:04,360 --> 00:34:09,480 Speaker 1: I say explores is a Harrison Fords and Fordson Ford 607 00:34:09,760 --> 00:34:15,200 Speaker 1: You're fired your own notice, predatory icon. He did not 608 00:34:15,280 --> 00:34:20,200 Speaker 1: write those scenes, but he accepted every sele and check. Yeah, yeah, 609 00:34:20,360 --> 00:34:22,200 Speaker 1: I feel like it was more acceptable back in the day, 610 00:34:22,239 --> 00:34:25,600 Speaker 1: Like say anything was this huge romantic and it's like 611 00:34:25,640 --> 00:34:28,080 Speaker 1: if a fucker was outside of your house blasting music, 612 00:34:28,239 --> 00:34:30,040 Speaker 1: you would be like, leave me alone. I'm getting a 613 00:34:30,080 --> 00:34:33,760 Speaker 1: restraining on the ya. I was thinking of that recently 614 00:34:33,800 --> 00:34:35,560 Speaker 1: because I live on the first floor, so if someone 615 00:34:35,560 --> 00:34:37,279 Speaker 1: did that to me would be extra crazy because I'd 616 00:34:37,280 --> 00:34:42,719 Speaker 1: just be like making direct eye contact. But yeah, so 617 00:34:42,760 --> 00:34:45,359 Speaker 1: many movies have done this and continue to do this, 618 00:34:45,440 --> 00:34:48,560 Speaker 1: where it's basically what starts out as a rape scene 619 00:34:48,600 --> 00:34:51,200 Speaker 1: and then it turns into this romantic thing where all 620 00:34:51,239 --> 00:34:53,359 Speaker 1: all of a sudden, she's very hot because he just 621 00:34:53,480 --> 00:34:56,760 Speaker 1: kept persisting and suddenly she's into it. So it obasually 622 00:34:56,840 --> 00:34:59,080 Speaker 1: sends a message is like, men, if a woman is 623 00:34:59,120 --> 00:35:02,640 Speaker 1: resisting at first, just keep trying, try a little harder, 624 00:35:02,680 --> 00:35:04,560 Speaker 1: and then she'll be into it. I mean, granted, at 625 00:35:04,600 --> 00:35:06,440 Speaker 1: this point in the movie, if any man is watching 626 00:35:06,480 --> 00:35:08,600 Speaker 1: Javier bar dem and is like, wow, it seems like 627 00:35:08,600 --> 00:35:13,080 Speaker 1: a good example to be following they're already lost. But 628 00:35:13,080 --> 00:35:15,840 Speaker 1: but the way this scene, this movie's attitude towards sex 629 00:35:15,840 --> 00:35:19,240 Speaker 1: in general is very bizarro of like this is this movie. 630 00:35:19,640 --> 00:35:22,960 Speaker 1: This movie seems like anti sex in a lot of ways, 631 00:35:23,160 --> 00:35:27,560 Speaker 1: because anytime that Ed Harris and Michelle Pfeiffer going at 632 00:35:27,600 --> 00:35:31,480 Speaker 1: it there like like the movie I felt was like, right, 633 00:35:32,120 --> 00:35:34,719 Speaker 1: that's a weird thing they're doing, right, And then there's 634 00:35:34,719 --> 00:35:39,520 Speaker 1: this weirdly violent sex scene and then them having sex 635 00:35:39,960 --> 00:35:49,040 Speaker 1: whatever God and Earth, Like God sucks the planet such 636 00:35:49,080 --> 00:35:53,320 Speaker 1: a bad metaphor, but so and then when they have sex, 637 00:35:53,920 --> 00:35:58,160 Speaker 1: it results in disaster because it results in the baby 638 00:35:58,200 --> 00:36:01,960 Speaker 1: and the baby getting fucked up. Well, it's it's a 639 00:36:01,960 --> 00:36:06,319 Speaker 1: disaster because of like God's hubris and like wanting to 640 00:36:06,360 --> 00:36:11,320 Speaker 1: be loved by his followers, basically sacrificing the baby because 641 00:36:11,360 --> 00:36:20,160 Speaker 1: of that. And right, this movie is stupid. It's just like, 642 00:36:20,280 --> 00:36:22,520 Speaker 1: sometimes I have a bunch of bullet point I'm like, 643 00:36:22,600 --> 00:36:27,560 Speaker 1: do we even tackle it? My notes are also so just. 644 00:36:27,920 --> 00:36:34,080 Speaker 1: I mean the narratives like that was straight up distracting 645 00:36:34,160 --> 00:36:35,840 Speaker 1: of like every time she because she would show up 646 00:36:35,840 --> 00:36:37,439 Speaker 1: every once in a while, he'd be like, oh yeah, 647 00:36:37,520 --> 00:36:39,880 Speaker 1: wait what and then she magically turns into like a 648 00:36:39,920 --> 00:36:42,960 Speaker 1: military person in the basement and they're all all at 649 00:36:43,040 --> 00:36:45,359 Speaker 1: war and bombs are going off, and you're like, what 650 00:36:45,400 --> 00:36:49,520 Speaker 1: the fuck this is? Yeah, this is a bad thesis film. 651 00:36:49,520 --> 00:36:52,239 Speaker 1: It's not great. Can we talk about I guess the 652 00:36:52,280 --> 00:36:55,799 Speaker 1: relationship between Jennifer Lawrence's character and Michelle Peiffer a little bit, 653 00:36:55,800 --> 00:36:59,279 Speaker 1: because that's relevant to hard discussion. I mean it does 654 00:36:59,680 --> 00:37:03,120 Speaker 1: you know, well, we'll get into does anyone have names? 655 00:37:03,120 --> 00:37:06,080 Speaker 1: And therefore can it ever pass the back? Right? Yeah? So, 656 00:37:06,120 --> 00:37:09,279 Speaker 1: but there is a there's a sequence where gen Law 657 00:37:09,560 --> 00:37:14,080 Speaker 1: and Michelle talk, and it's usually Michelle Pfiffer like prying 658 00:37:14,120 --> 00:37:17,040 Speaker 1: about her sex life or sort of judging her for 659 00:37:17,120 --> 00:37:20,760 Speaker 1: other choices she's making, and everything she does is wrong, 660 00:37:21,160 --> 00:37:24,160 Speaker 1: it's the thing. Yeah, yeah, She like makes all these 661 00:37:24,160 --> 00:37:27,080 Speaker 1: bad hand of remarks like yeah, no, he probably still 662 00:37:27,120 --> 00:37:30,480 Speaker 1: loves you, like yeah, your husband, I guess maybe likes you, 663 00:37:30,600 --> 00:37:33,280 Speaker 1: and and uh, do you want some of my Michelle's 664 00:37:33,280 --> 00:37:38,000 Speaker 1: hard lemonade family recipe? And later on when she returns 665 00:37:38,040 --> 00:37:40,920 Speaker 1: after like the random murder that happens in the how, 666 00:37:41,040 --> 00:37:46,239 Speaker 1: like oh yeah, which leads to feminist icon floor vagina 667 00:37:46,640 --> 00:37:49,279 Speaker 1: right when the floor of the house just has a 668 00:37:49,360 --> 00:37:53,040 Speaker 1: vagina all of a sudden, Yeah, and it's bleeding. It's 669 00:37:53,080 --> 00:37:59,480 Speaker 1: free bleeding all over the place floor vagina, also feminist 670 00:37:59,600 --> 00:38:02,480 Speaker 1: icon ed Harris whenever he at one point is like, 671 00:38:02,560 --> 00:38:04,959 Speaker 1: Jennifer Lawrence, do you redid this whole house? And she's 672 00:38:05,000 --> 00:38:07,840 Speaker 1: like yeah, and he's like every detail and she's like 673 00:38:07,920 --> 00:38:10,040 Speaker 1: m m and he's like, so you're not just a 674 00:38:10,040 --> 00:38:16,439 Speaker 1: pretty face feminist icon head hair just kidding. So the relationship. Yeah, 675 00:38:16,520 --> 00:38:20,160 Speaker 1: Michelle Phifer and Jennifer Lawrence are just like a very 676 00:38:20,280 --> 00:38:25,040 Speaker 1: bizarre situation where no strangers would talk like that. And 677 00:38:25,600 --> 00:38:28,040 Speaker 1: I means mostly a Michelle Fiber's part where she's just like, 678 00:38:28,080 --> 00:38:30,279 Speaker 1: why do you do your laundry so fucked up? What 679 00:38:30,440 --> 00:38:32,879 Speaker 1: is this? What is this? I'm drunk bol and you're 680 00:38:32,920 --> 00:38:35,839 Speaker 1: just like whoa, Like where what do you want? Like 681 00:38:36,280 --> 00:38:42,360 Speaker 1: it's unclear to me outside of the metaphor what Michelle Phifer, 682 00:38:42,600 --> 00:38:46,200 Speaker 1: why she's being so antagonistic and what kind of reaction 683 00:38:46,280 --> 00:38:48,880 Speaker 1: she's hoping to get out of Jennifer Lawrence, Like it 684 00:38:48,920 --> 00:38:51,319 Speaker 1: doesn't Well, they're all just yeah, they're all props for 685 00:38:51,360 --> 00:38:54,440 Speaker 1: the metaphor. They literally don't make sense or don't exist 686 00:38:54,520 --> 00:38:56,480 Speaker 1: outside of it. Well, like, I mean again, I have 687 00:38:56,480 --> 00:38:59,160 Speaker 1: a very limited understanding of the Bible. But it's Eve 688 00:38:59,360 --> 00:39:02,600 Speaker 1: who takes the flight of the Apple. That's like the 689 00:39:02,640 --> 00:39:05,640 Speaker 1: original sin thing, and that's basically the fall of man. 690 00:39:05,719 --> 00:39:10,480 Speaker 1: She's temptation, she's belligerent, she didn't listen. It's like the 691 00:39:10,520 --> 00:39:15,160 Speaker 1: whole why why emulate that in a fucking current movie? 692 00:39:15,320 --> 00:39:22,239 Speaker 1: Like that's not how it's just stupid. They're one of 693 00:39:22,280 --> 00:39:26,000 Speaker 1: the things about Jennifer Lawrence's character, and it's like this 694 00:39:26,000 --> 00:39:29,400 Speaker 1: whole time, we're like like, we're really really reaching for 695 00:39:29,440 --> 00:39:34,000 Speaker 1: things here. But the the idea of the female protagonists 696 00:39:34,160 --> 00:39:37,360 Speaker 1: trying to be polite and like a good hostess and 697 00:39:37,440 --> 00:39:41,840 Speaker 1: respectful to all at all costs was something that was like, Okay, 698 00:39:41,880 --> 00:39:46,480 Speaker 1: there was another moment during Kristen Wiggs press conference, you know, 699 00:39:46,560 --> 00:39:49,399 Speaker 1: when Kristin Wick just starts having a press conference during 700 00:39:49,400 --> 00:39:52,759 Speaker 1: this terrible movie, when there's like a mom and her 701 00:39:52,800 --> 00:39:55,880 Speaker 1: son and she Jennifer Lawrence is like trying to be like, 702 00:39:55,960 --> 00:39:58,480 Speaker 1: you cannot come in. She's like, but my son's pissing, 703 00:39:59,360 --> 00:40:02,080 Speaker 1: and she's okay, fine, you can come in, but you 704 00:40:02,160 --> 00:40:04,280 Speaker 1: have to leave. And then it turns out everyone's pissing 705 00:40:04,280 --> 00:40:07,640 Speaker 1: for some reason. I was like paining and understank. Anyways, 706 00:40:07,680 --> 00:40:08,960 Speaker 1: I thought I had a point, but it turns out 707 00:40:09,000 --> 00:40:12,239 Speaker 1: I didn't. Well, I mean, maybe it's kind of what 708 00:40:12,280 --> 00:40:15,480 Speaker 1: I was touching on earlier, where if this maybe this 709 00:40:15,600 --> 00:40:18,239 Speaker 1: character is a metaphor for like the way women have 710 00:40:18,520 --> 00:40:22,160 Speaker 1: historically been treated, where you know, we're conditioned to be 711 00:40:22,200 --> 00:40:25,520 Speaker 1: accommodating and we have to be helpful and and and 712 00:40:25,520 --> 00:40:28,200 Speaker 1: and delicate and all of this stuff and and how 713 00:40:28,360 --> 00:40:31,520 Speaker 1: that's not really serving anybody, and like that's not good 714 00:40:31,520 --> 00:40:33,440 Speaker 1: and that's not how it should be. But like, I 715 00:40:33,480 --> 00:40:37,440 Speaker 1: don't think that Dannia Rondowski was necessarily thinking that, Like 716 00:40:37,600 --> 00:40:42,880 Speaker 1: I think that's all, but it is, like it is 717 00:40:42,920 --> 00:40:46,000 Speaker 1: so infuriating to see the only things you see Jennifer 718 00:40:46,080 --> 00:40:49,840 Speaker 1: Lawrence's character doing is either cleaning stuff up or making 719 00:40:49,880 --> 00:40:54,920 Speaker 1: breakfast or fixing up the house or just like endless 720 00:40:54,960 --> 00:40:58,640 Speaker 1: domestic chores, doing laundry, you know, Jennifer and cleaning up 721 00:40:58,640 --> 00:41:01,719 Speaker 1: a mess. Um. We touched on this a little earlier, 722 00:41:01,760 --> 00:41:05,320 Speaker 1: but I did want to mention like how the female 723 00:41:05,360 --> 00:41:09,040 Speaker 1: protagonist is framed in this movie, and that like almost 724 00:41:09,040 --> 00:41:11,840 Speaker 1: every shot is either a close up of her face 725 00:41:12,360 --> 00:41:15,320 Speaker 1: or a shot from her, like an over the shoulder 726 00:41:15,560 --> 00:41:17,520 Speaker 1: or just a straight up point of view shot from 727 00:41:17,520 --> 00:41:20,839 Speaker 1: her perspective, which I think is I guess you could 728 00:41:20,840 --> 00:41:23,840 Speaker 1: call it interesting. It's unusual. It's not what we usually 729 00:41:24,040 --> 00:41:27,839 Speaker 1: see in most movies, especially because most movies are not 730 00:41:28,280 --> 00:41:31,560 Speaker 1: told from a woman's point of view, like and this 731 00:41:31,560 --> 00:41:34,799 Speaker 1: this one is yeah, literally her point of view. It's 732 00:41:34,800 --> 00:41:37,359 Speaker 1: like a point of view shot from I mean, it's 733 00:41:37,400 --> 00:41:38,759 Speaker 1: kind of I guess kind of an even split of 734 00:41:38,760 --> 00:41:40,920 Speaker 1: looking at her and looking from her point of view, right, 735 00:41:41,200 --> 00:41:44,080 Speaker 1: So I mean maybe something I can take away from 736 00:41:44,120 --> 00:41:49,040 Speaker 1: this movie is Okay, that's interesting that that choice was made, 737 00:41:49,160 --> 00:41:53,840 Speaker 1: because often if it's a male director framing a female character, 738 00:41:54,120 --> 00:41:57,120 Speaker 1: it's usually sexualized in some way or like, and I 739 00:41:57,160 --> 00:41:59,920 Speaker 1: never find you get to see her share night gaw 740 00:42:00,000 --> 00:42:02,239 Speaker 1: in a couple of times, you do. I mean, they 741 00:42:02,239 --> 00:42:04,640 Speaker 1: do have that scene where all the people are attacking 742 00:42:04,640 --> 00:42:07,040 Speaker 1: her on the floor and like her boob comes out 743 00:42:07,080 --> 00:42:10,239 Speaker 1: and they're like grab which like why what what? What 744 00:42:10,400 --> 00:42:13,120 Speaker 1: is that serving? Why is that scene? And being in 745 00:42:13,120 --> 00:42:16,480 Speaker 1: a room with your boyfriend and he's like, yeah, yeah, 746 00:42:16,640 --> 00:42:23,279 Speaker 1: hit her And I was like, ah no, no, how 747 00:42:23,280 --> 00:42:25,840 Speaker 1: did he know that scarf? He's like, hey, Jennifer, just 748 00:42:26,000 --> 00:42:29,920 Speaker 1: um lie here on the floor and get your face beaten. 749 00:42:29,960 --> 00:42:33,799 Speaker 1: In all of these extras for my awesome, freaking you're 750 00:42:33,840 --> 00:42:38,720 Speaker 1: gonna love it mother, I felt like I could see 751 00:42:39,080 --> 00:42:42,240 Speaker 1: the male gaze on Jennifer Lawrence the whole movie, because 752 00:42:42,239 --> 00:42:47,000 Speaker 1: she was completely perfect the entire time, Like she never 753 00:42:47,080 --> 00:42:50,080 Speaker 1: got more in disarray as the movie went on until 754 00:42:50,120 --> 00:42:52,080 Speaker 1: that very very ending section. But even then, like when 755 00:42:52,120 --> 00:42:54,160 Speaker 1: she was running around. Her hair was perfectly in place, 756 00:42:54,400 --> 00:42:57,040 Speaker 1: Like all the shots were like so close and intimate 757 00:42:57,080 --> 00:43:01,560 Speaker 1: and like this gorgeous lighting, so it didn't were like sexualized, 758 00:43:01,600 --> 00:43:04,920 Speaker 1: but it felt like Darren's way of viewing her almost. 759 00:43:05,320 --> 00:43:07,040 Speaker 1: That's a really good point. Yeah, I hadn't thought of 760 00:43:07,080 --> 00:43:09,799 Speaker 1: it that way. It's too bad because I I don't 761 00:43:09,840 --> 00:43:13,560 Speaker 1: think this movie got nominated for every Razzie pretty much. 762 00:43:13,840 --> 00:43:18,200 Speaker 1: I think he got the most nomination. And it's too 763 00:43:18,200 --> 00:43:21,040 Speaker 1: bad because I don't think Jennifer Lawrence does a bad 764 00:43:21,160 --> 00:43:23,960 Speaker 1: job in this movie with what she's given, which is 765 00:43:24,040 --> 00:43:27,080 Speaker 1: not a lot. If seventy percent of the dialogue you're 766 00:43:27,120 --> 00:43:30,080 Speaker 1: given is hey, like there's only so much you can do, 767 00:43:30,320 --> 00:43:33,160 Speaker 1: and and given the fact that the camera is focused 768 00:43:33,200 --> 00:43:35,960 Speaker 1: on her for so much of the movie, I feel 769 00:43:35,960 --> 00:43:39,200 Speaker 1: like she and like Michelle Peiffer, felt like that at 770 00:43:39,280 --> 00:43:42,759 Speaker 1: least an interesting job with what they were given. However, 771 00:43:42,800 --> 00:43:45,279 Speaker 1: your burden, I don't know. I was like not loving 772 00:43:45,360 --> 00:43:48,319 Speaker 1: him in this movie, Kristen Wig, what are you doing here? 773 00:43:49,960 --> 00:43:54,840 Speaker 1: Ed Harris? I'm maybe like afraid of bald men's time, 774 00:43:56,000 --> 00:43:57,840 Speaker 1: so like I don't have a good game fan of 775 00:43:57,880 --> 00:44:03,040 Speaker 1: bald women test, but bald women are in charge every 776 00:44:03,040 --> 00:44:07,040 Speaker 1: single time they appear on screen. Bald men, their scalps 777 00:44:07,040 --> 00:44:10,799 Speaker 1: can talk, and they have really scary secrets to tell you. 778 00:44:11,600 --> 00:44:13,959 Speaker 1: I mean, one of the huge problems is this movie 779 00:44:14,000 --> 00:44:17,600 Speaker 1: boils down to because the director was like, we gotta 780 00:44:17,760 --> 00:44:21,520 Speaker 1: have this metaphor. It's at the expense of characterization. So 781 00:44:21,600 --> 00:44:25,240 Speaker 1: none of these characters feel like real people and therefore 782 00:44:25,280 --> 00:44:27,520 Speaker 1: it's I mean, it's kind of hard to talk about them. 783 00:44:27,520 --> 00:44:29,960 Speaker 1: So like before we started recording, I was like, what 784 00:44:30,040 --> 00:44:32,000 Speaker 1: am I even going to say about this movie? Like 785 00:44:32,040 --> 00:44:34,399 Speaker 1: how can I even talk about the female characters because 786 00:44:34,400 --> 00:44:38,080 Speaker 1: they're like, they're not real people. They don't resemble human 787 00:44:38,120 --> 00:44:40,880 Speaker 1: behavior at all. So it's just like, how do you 788 00:44:40,920 --> 00:44:44,240 Speaker 1: even talk about the portrayal of women when these female 789 00:44:44,320 --> 00:44:48,880 Speaker 1: characters they're just like metaphors and allegories and personifications of 790 00:44:49,760 --> 00:44:52,480 Speaker 1: the ship. And no one's relationship makes sense. We don't know. 791 00:44:53,000 --> 00:44:57,080 Speaker 1: There's very little evident about like why have your Bret 792 00:44:57,200 --> 00:44:59,719 Speaker 1: m and Jennifer Lawrence would love each other in this 793 00:44:59,800 --> 00:45:03,680 Speaker 1: for relationship? What keeps their relationship together other than her 794 00:45:03,719 --> 00:45:07,759 Speaker 1: constant service. One of the more baffling character connections was 795 00:45:07,800 --> 00:45:10,160 Speaker 1: like Ed Harris showing up in Javier Bardim just being 796 00:45:10,200 --> 00:45:13,919 Speaker 1: like I love this guy, and that that goes through 797 00:45:13,960 --> 00:45:16,640 Speaker 1: every single time. Ed Harris is like, I've been lying, 798 00:45:16,760 --> 00:45:20,279 Speaker 1: and how your bards like you're so fucking real like 799 00:45:20,320 --> 00:45:23,480 Speaker 1: and they're they're weirdly. I guess it is because like, 800 00:45:23,520 --> 00:45:27,759 Speaker 1: because God loved those were his creations, so he loved 801 00:45:27,840 --> 00:45:29,920 Speaker 1: he had, he loved them, and he's like, Wow, look 802 00:45:30,040 --> 00:45:31,800 Speaker 1: what a good job I did with all this stuff. 803 00:45:31,800 --> 00:45:34,560 Speaker 1: And I guess the movie is saying, oh no, God 804 00:45:34,640 --> 00:45:37,280 Speaker 1: didn't maybe do a good job because everything got fucked 805 00:45:37,360 --> 00:45:41,000 Speaker 1: up by the end Aronowski second draft. Come on, come on, 806 00:45:41,160 --> 00:45:44,200 Speaker 1: it have been great to see the third, fourth, fifty 807 00:45:44,280 --> 00:45:47,279 Speaker 1: second draft or I think that that would have ended 808 00:45:47,280 --> 00:45:50,000 Speaker 1: in the trash if anyone had taken a good, long, 809 00:45:50,120 --> 00:45:53,400 Speaker 1: hard look at what this movie is like, maybe skip it. 810 00:45:53,560 --> 00:45:55,239 Speaker 1: He should have sent his script to me for notes. 811 00:45:55,239 --> 00:45:58,040 Speaker 1: I would have given him great notes. Doesn't even have 812 00:45:58,160 --> 00:46:07,239 Speaker 1: any other thoughts about the portrayal of women in all Right, Well, 813 00:46:07,280 --> 00:46:09,000 Speaker 1: how about we talk about whether or not the movie 814 00:46:09,040 --> 00:46:12,799 Speaker 1: passes the Bechdel test. I say no. I would say 815 00:46:12,840 --> 00:46:17,640 Speaker 1: no to because the characters aren't named. Yes, if they 816 00:46:17,680 --> 00:46:21,160 Speaker 1: had names, it would have to pass. I'm pretty sure 817 00:46:21,200 --> 00:46:25,240 Speaker 1: because of the scenes with Jennifer Lawrence and Michelle Peiffer, 818 00:46:26,320 --> 00:46:30,040 Speaker 1: but they don't have names, no matter whether I AMDB 819 00:46:30,080 --> 00:46:33,920 Speaker 1: Page says sometimes I AMDDB Page says, Hey, the twist 820 00:46:33,960 --> 00:46:35,960 Speaker 1: is they did have a name, but we'd never find 821 00:46:36,000 --> 00:46:38,239 Speaker 1: out what it is. We never find out in the movie. Yeah, 822 00:46:38,280 --> 00:46:40,160 Speaker 1: and we never and it's you know, I'd be more 823 00:46:40,160 --> 00:46:42,200 Speaker 1: inclined to give it a benefit of the doubt if 824 00:46:42,200 --> 00:46:44,359 Speaker 1: we knew, like, well, at least we knew a lot 825 00:46:44,440 --> 00:46:46,360 Speaker 1: about the characters, but we didn't know anything about the 826 00:46:46,640 --> 00:46:50,440 Speaker 1: characters either. So so I'm gonna not to come to 827 00:46:50,520 --> 00:46:53,319 Speaker 1: this movie's defense at all, but I'm gonna argue that 828 00:46:53,360 --> 00:46:58,000 Speaker 1: the caveat of the characters having to have names implies that, oh, 829 00:46:58,080 --> 00:47:00,919 Speaker 1: these characters have to be important enough that we would 830 00:47:01,040 --> 00:47:02,520 Speaker 1: know their names. So it can't just be like a 831 00:47:02,640 --> 00:47:05,680 Speaker 1: random person we see and one scene that has one line, 832 00:47:06,160 --> 00:47:09,200 Speaker 1: and if that character talks to another woman with a name, like, 833 00:47:09,440 --> 00:47:12,160 Speaker 1: I think that's what that that caveat of the backdo 834 00:47:12,360 --> 00:47:14,799 Speaker 1: test is saying. So it's like it has to be 835 00:47:14,880 --> 00:47:17,919 Speaker 1: two main characters speaking to each other. So these are 836 00:47:18,000 --> 00:47:19,920 Speaker 1: two main characters in the movie. So the fact that 837 00:47:19,960 --> 00:47:22,400 Speaker 1: they don't have names, I think is just like whatever, 838 00:47:22,719 --> 00:47:25,520 Speaker 1: and the artistic choice and the fact that they don't 839 00:47:25,560 --> 00:47:27,960 Speaker 1: have names is an a gender decision because no one 840 00:47:28,040 --> 00:47:32,799 Speaker 1: has names, correct. But but test is extremely flawed and 841 00:47:32,840 --> 00:47:37,200 Speaker 1: I don't write so it doesn't. Yeah, I mean, I'm 842 00:47:37,239 --> 00:47:40,440 Speaker 1: fine with saying it doesn't because of the name caveat, 843 00:47:40,440 --> 00:47:42,360 Speaker 1: because otherwise, I mean, let's say they do have names. 844 00:47:42,640 --> 00:47:45,560 Speaker 1: And then those two characters, Yeah, they talk about Mike's 845 00:47:45,560 --> 00:47:50,120 Speaker 1: hard lemonade. They talk about like you suck just like sorry, 846 00:47:50,440 --> 00:47:52,239 Speaker 1: and a lot of what they talk about are like 847 00:47:52,400 --> 00:47:55,040 Speaker 1: domestic chores. And again that's a lot of what you 848 00:47:55,080 --> 00:47:58,319 Speaker 1: see Jennifer Lawrence's character doing in the movie. But they 849 00:47:58,320 --> 00:48:00,719 Speaker 1: are talking about saying they do mention man. But there 850 00:48:00,760 --> 00:48:03,520 Speaker 1: are plenty of two line exchanges between those two characters 851 00:48:03,560 --> 00:48:05,920 Speaker 1: that would pass the test if we knew their names. 852 00:48:06,280 --> 00:48:08,239 Speaker 1: I don't want to give anyone a reason to be like, yeah, 853 00:48:08,360 --> 00:48:10,120 Speaker 1: maybe I'll give this movie a chance. Yeah I'm not. 854 00:48:10,160 --> 00:48:12,320 Speaker 1: I'm not gonna. I think I won't give it a 855 00:48:12,360 --> 00:48:14,640 Speaker 1: pass just because they don't have names in this movie 856 00:48:14,760 --> 00:48:20,239 Speaker 1: sucks really bad and it yeah, fuck it. In conclusion, 857 00:48:21,560 --> 00:48:24,200 Speaker 1: let's write the movie on our nipple scale zero to five. 858 00:48:24,320 --> 00:48:28,840 Speaker 1: Nipples where we rate the movie based on its portrayal 859 00:48:29,000 --> 00:48:35,919 Speaker 1: of women go negative to nipples. Uh yeah, I'm gonna 860 00:48:35,920 --> 00:48:38,799 Speaker 1: have to give it a zero just because of how 861 00:48:38,920 --> 00:48:43,520 Speaker 1: inactive the protagonist is, how the relationship with the one 862 00:48:43,560 --> 00:48:47,320 Speaker 1: other main female character is just like bonkers and doesn't 863 00:48:47,320 --> 00:48:51,400 Speaker 1: make any sense. But the movie isn't like pro man either. 864 00:48:51,480 --> 00:48:53,239 Speaker 1: That's the thing. It's not like, Wow, look how good 865 00:48:53,360 --> 00:48:56,200 Speaker 1: a job men are doing. Isn't even like it's not 866 00:48:56,320 --> 00:49:00,200 Speaker 1: specifically insensitive to women in a point a way. It's 867 00:49:00,239 --> 00:49:05,000 Speaker 1: just insensitive to filmmaking and things that are good, a 868 00:49:05,080 --> 00:49:08,080 Speaker 1: slab in the face to anything that's ever been good. Yeah. 869 00:49:08,160 --> 00:49:10,600 Speaker 1: And then even at the end when she sort of 870 00:49:10,640 --> 00:49:14,040 Speaker 1: has her like, oh, actually I do have a little 871 00:49:14,120 --> 00:49:16,200 Speaker 1: tiny bit of agency and I'm going to blow the 872 00:49:16,200 --> 00:49:19,680 Speaker 1: whole house up, and then she dies and then gets 873 00:49:19,880 --> 00:49:22,640 Speaker 1: reborn into this other woman, so she doesn't even get 874 00:49:22,680 --> 00:49:26,040 Speaker 1: to like have a cathartic moment that she actually gets 875 00:49:26,040 --> 00:49:29,160 Speaker 1: to like enjoy and like reap the benefits of, because 876 00:49:29,160 --> 00:49:31,960 Speaker 1: when she just dies, and then it's the whole thing 877 00:49:31,960 --> 00:49:34,200 Speaker 1: of like, oh, well, God gets to start over because 878 00:49:34,200 --> 00:49:37,200 Speaker 1: he's God. I give this movie zero nipples, but I 879 00:49:37,280 --> 00:49:41,839 Speaker 1: give it one floor of Va China. There's no way 880 00:49:41,880 --> 00:49:47,560 Speaker 1: around it. Great.
