Vigilant Citizen — March 15, 2024

Warning: Behemotic spoilers ahead!

The least one can say is that mass media loved Poor Things. Nearly every news article gushed over it while award ceremonies threw all their trophies at it, including numerous Oscars.

Yes, they really want us to watch and love the movie. More importantly, they want us to “soak up” its messages and underlying philosophy. Of course, there is a reason for this: Poor Things conveys, in an admittingly creative way, the twisted worldview the elite wants us to adopt. And that includes the sexualization of children.

On a surface level, Poor Things bears all the makings of a great film. The wardrobe, the set designs, and the performances are all top-notch. However, on a deeper level, something is “off” about this movie. It provokes in many a gut feeling that they’re watching something … wrong.

In a way, the movie wants us to feel that way. The music is strident, atonal, and dissonant, creating an unsettling atmosphere. Some scenes seem custom-made to be challenging to watch and difficult to stomach.

While the movie was based on Alasdair Gray’s 1992 novel of the same name, most of the book’s political commentary and literary nuances were evacuated to mainly focus on a single thing: Emma Stone acting like a child and having sex with older men.

In many ways, Emma Stone’s performance is reminiscent of Ana de Armas’ performance in Blonde. As explained in my article about this brutal movie, numerous scenes appeared to be specifically written to place Ana de Armas in situations where she is naked and sexually degraded. While the movie was about Marilyn Monroe, it was also about Ana de Armas herself taking part in degrading, near-pornographic scenes as some Hollywood “rite of passage.” And, despite the fact that viewers panned Blonde, de Armas was rewarded with an Oscar nomination for Best Actress.

As we’ll soon see, Emma Stone underwent a similar process in Poor Things. She’s often completely naked and involved in near-pornographic scenes (often degrading) involving numerous men. She was also rewarded by winning the Oscar for Best Actress in 2024.

Ironically, the movie is said to be “feminist,” although it was written by a man, directed by a man, and based on a book written by a man. But that doesn’t matter because, through symbolism, the core message goes way deeper than feminism. It is about distorting everything that is pure, good, and natural. Here’s a look at Poor Things.
