Description
Alice and Jack are lucky to be living in the idealized community of Victory, the experimental company town housing the men who work for the top-secret Victory Project and their families. But when cracks in their idyllic life begin to appear, exposing flashes of something much more sinister lurking beneath the attractive façade, Alice can’t help questioning exactly what they’re doing in Victory, and why.
The film is stunningly beautifully shot: everyone who was responsible for the visual component (cameraman, costume designer, production designer, make-up artists) deserves special praise. The actors also play well: yes, there are a couple of scenes when it seems that the characters have too much emotion, but if we take into account the specifics of the plot, then hypertrophied emotions are quite understandable.
Foreign audiences and the press somehow did not really accept the film (except for the success at the premiere in Venice). In my opinion, it is not the film that is to blame for this, but the rumors and scandals that surrounded the picture as part of the press tour.
There is no ending at all. Any other one, even an absurd one with some kind of slits, would look better. But no, we need to make a thriller about abuse, because it's relevant.
My wife knew from somewhere that her husband was real. In fact, he triggered it and brought it back to reality, to some extent.
And my husband went to & # 34; work" in the plan that he came out of the simulation, they will look at what kind of movement really happened there .
I understood all this and it seemed obvious to me when viewing it . Actually, I still think that this was the case :with 💁
And why not make a thriller about abuse , if they want to ? And this is not relevant now, but literally always. Well или at least for a long time. Under this or that sauce, I think a lot has already been taken off and now and over the past thirty years, too.
I am more surprised that you write below that you liked the movie and at the same time give it 3/5 o.o.
Hezeshka, for me so not pretentious Aby as, but quite can be .
So immediately five stars maximum:) I thought that the middle is 2.5. I didn't just see the movie *well, normul , average..* , and a little higher, that's what 3.5. four would be if the movie went straight well. Well, five of these are already generally delight :)
Although it is clear that all these estimates are too ephemeral and conditional designations, and not directly mathematically clearly verified figures YYYY 🐱
as for the opinion of AlyonaSe, I disagree. the question here is precisely the choice. Jack says that he did all this for them, for her, but at the same time he did not take into account her desires and views on life. In contrast, there is her friend Bunny, who at the end says that she knows everything and chose this life herself.
Based on this, the idea is rather this: everyone has the right to choose how to live. and no one dares to encroach on this right. This also applies to the fact that "both should work, the only way everyone will be happy."
Of the advantages: the picture is beautiful, Pew can play. Cons: except for Pew, all the rest are cardboard, the intrigue is predictable from the trailer, there is no clear antagonist, the Sci-Fi component is only slightly outlined, as well as the logic of some characters and phenomena (why earthquakes, an airplane and most importantly: what is the kitschy scene of electroshock treatment in the presence of much more advanced technologies?)
But I really liked the picture itself, the locations, the costumes, the atmosphere, the message. The aftertaste is long, you keep thinking about the movie after watching it. 3/5
We also added a pinch of sound about Midsommar или even Archive 81 (bitches, extend the series for the second season of fucking:**)
I liked the film, despite the fact that I don't care about Wilde (it's negative) and I'm as repulsed by the aesthetics of the Old Believer times as much as possible .
But Florence Pupsik is a miracle as good, literally just for her sake and decided to watch the movie. And as a result, I liked the film itself.
What kind of behind - the-scenes movement was there-I don't know 🐒 apparently just now we should take a look :)
-but you're happy here!"
Harry is super, I didn't expect acting talent from him😍
Everyone is so smart, and I didn't know about the simulation at all 😥
Very nice picture and Olivia Wilde, about Harry Styles - I was surprised, because this is the first time I see him in a movie
The final disappointed a little, namely the moment of exit from the simulation - they could have shown it better, but here they didn't show it at all, they wet their breath
Well, as a comparison, I didn't choose such a world. Reality is better
The acting is good, it's really scary in places, the desire to punch these moral freaks also arose periodically
Dear people, please leave each other alone and let us live freely
I am not familiar with either the Stepford wives or the scandals surrounding the film, so I started watching almost tabula rasa. I will not dare to judge Olivia Wilde as a director (based on one viewed work), but I have never understood why it is necessary to star in my own film and certainly not in the last role? She can play, but here her Bunny is just some kind of sinister valley. Her emotions stand out even from the caricature declared by the plot. Florence is not my favorite actress, but she's the only one you believe in this movie. Well, Pine is another super weird character. Why is he in the simulation? Why did you hint about a "worthy opponent", what's the point? It's the same damn thing as subscribing to a random netflix (only for her husband), why is there this pathos of his to the main character? Did you think the whole movie - his very creepy "wife" - was in the subject? Is it real? Is he a puppet too?
I understand that the idea of the film is not just the idea of patriarchy and a "prison" in it for a woman. There are layers and levels in the underlying logic. But what's the point of forcing real women into this (as I understand it, the family of the main characters there is rather an exception - other women may not even be particularly familiar with their "husbands"), if you can safely create them in this simulation? Well, Bunny's type of kids. They are real to her and to others. So what's the point? And again, why do you die in a simulation and die in real life? You just have cartoons in your head, it's all unreal, so why?
"You're happy here!" - so what's the happiness? Being the perfect housewife? It feels like the film was conceived as an answer to these ardent Western fighters against feminism, but in fact it only sings along with them.
