Poor Things

Poor things

Poor things is a movie people found disturbing. The lewd portrayal of the sex workers and sex trades has made the movie a circus joke in the awards circle. People talked about respect. And they found nothing. It’s crazy how this movie spin an old age lie about women as livestock and slaves into something progressive. It injects communist ideologies into the movie here and there. It makes men act and behave like mass models cars sold on the market. It is available if you want it. But can you afford them? Can you afford wanting a man, a guy or a person proclaiming he is going to cut off your clitoris? I wonder. Is Bella’s perfect mate is the doctor G.O.D.? Is his kindness, money and appearance a wordless announcement of perfect match? Why does she(Bella) subjugate everybody in sight with her genius of the brain and emotions? Is there something wrong about her brain, her infant’s brain? What is the movie trying to say? Is she a bad product of capitalism? Etc.
