Poor Things [PATREON PREVIEW]
from Movies vs. Capitalism · host Movies vs. Capitalism
Rivka and Frank have an in-depth discussion of Yorgos Lanthimos’ 2023 film Poor Things, the story of Bella Baxter, who receives an experimental brain transplant and embarks on a journey of self-discovery in her new body. They talk about how Bella’s journey embodies the Marxist concept of “dialectical materialism,” how the men in the film represent the full spectrum of patriarchal archetypes, and how Emma Stone’s choices and performance make the film truly exceptional. They also talk about the Willy Wonka immersive experience scandal in Glasgow — one of the greatest scams capitalism has ever given us. 🤝 TO HEAR THE FULL EPISODE SUBSCRIBE TO OUR PATREON 🤝 www.patreon.com/movies_vs_capitalisma
