I think I’m a little bit disturbed by the new film coming out with Emma Stone in it..

[Soubriquet]

Apparently it’s called Poor Things and is based on a book. The premise is, a foetal brain is transplanted into an adult body..and we watch as this brain rapidly ages. So basically see a woman act like a baby and toddler. It’s also very sexually graphic, though also apparently it’s only when her brain reaches maturity does she begin to explore.

Maybe there’s more to it. Maybe the book makes a lot of sense. Maybe I’m being too sensitive but this really doesn’t sit right with me

Why are you surprised ?

Brendan Fraser in "Blast from the Past"

FFS …. Vice versa and Big etc are comedies. This is a book about two men who transplant a infant brain into the body of a women because they want to have a total
control over a women (who kills herself to escape their abuse) and their ideal ‘woman’ id a infant that they can fuck. It’s utterly gross.

The book was amazing (trying to remember back 20 years). It does sound dodgy reading the synopsis but having read the book I am v keen to see it,

Well, I haven’t read the novel, but in the film, the inventor considers himself Bella’s ‘father’, and while his assistant asks her to marry him, she gets bored before that, discovers sexual pleasure solo, and runs away with a lecherous lawyer, outgrows and dumps him etc — and when she returns to her ‘father’s’ deathbed, she discovers her previous identity and why she committed suicide (before her unborn baby’s brain was transplanted). Yes, it’s a disturbing film, and not unproblematic,, but it’s not quite as you suggest.

Oh, and I would also characterise this as a comedy.

Lots of posters seem to think it's a documentary

I don’t think Bella had a previous identity in the book? She was just a random corpse they fished out the Clyde so that’s new for the film.
