From what I've heard from other book readers, the Pretties had very uncanny valley looks. Like Bratz Doll level or something. And stuff like Diamond eyes or moving tattoos lol. Also heard that the procedure is also extremely brutal(breaking EVERY BONE of your body), and this whole process is kinda a cover up since they also mess with your mind or something lol idk CMIIW.
They simply should have made the entire film animated, since they'd be able to convey the abnormalities of the Pretties better, rather than simply placing a golden filter on the actors.
The way y’all are pretending not to understand why they didn’t want the surgery is crazy. Everyone wants to have think pieces but can’t even understand THAT. I swear movies are so much better when you don’t have people telling you they’re bad for their channel or cause they read the book.
Book reader here...the book never claimed that they were ugly. Ugly was just a term used to describe people who haven't gone through surgery, regular folks. To note children were exempt from this as they are still growing and have that cuteness going for them. As with any human population attractiveness, or perception of attractiveness comes in a spectrum, so people who didnt go through surgery could be attractive...but not "perfect" which is what the goal of the surgery was. The lead actress isnt't ugly but we have to be objective and accept that she isn't stereotypically attractive. For her i think the casting works. Plus it would be hard on the special effects
helpppp this is so real 😭😭😭 people really just ran out of original thoughts and ideas now and the only thing people can do it adaptations and this shit
I love how they put there most attractive looking people ever and just called them “ugly” and also why is the surgery just the Snapchat bold glam filter 😂 like this is so unserious
@@Londyn824-ColeWorldYeah, if ppl don't read the first book they're not going to get it. I wish they made the specials different though as they are supposed to be pretty to an extreme that it looks scary to provoke intimidation and fear.

@@mastershifter4495 Clearly, you misunderstood me. I said that I enjoy watching their REACTIONS to cringey movies ('reactions' being the key word here). It's really entertaining, especially if it's a movie genre that I don't usually enjoy. Then if the movie seems decent enough, I watch it myself. I'm honestly wondering how you read that as 'waiting for others' opinions to form my own''🤡. It seems you've never heard of Rotten Tomatoes, a site where people rate movies so others don't waste their money watching bad ones.
Uglies got done so dirty, because the book came out in 2006 before the Hunger Games books (2008), Divergent books (2011), Maze Runner books (2009), all of them! Uglies set the stage for that era!! Now we're living in dystopia irl, so the story of Uglies needed updates in order to keep up with things we as a society already know.
Exactly! Uglies walked so all these other series could run, and I really loved the books when I was in high school-read all four of them. This movie did the books so dirtyyyy 😭 my best friend told me about this movie, and as soon as I saw it was sitting in Development Hell for 15 years, I knew it was gonna be a super-stinker.
uglie in this world doesn’t mean what it means for us, the beauty standards are more finite . The point is everyone looks the same. They didn’t commit to it, or add the scene where tally looks at old magazines with people we would consider attractive and calls them “uglies”
@@motaku220Yes! I'm hoping that's in the second movie. It hurts that they didn't show ppl with acne and spinal issues or physical disabilities and overweight being changed. I mean I'm guessing they didn't want to risk inadvertently fat shaming ppl but I think the other things could have helped the audience, especially ppl who didn't read the first book. I read the first 3 books yrs ago.
One thing i will stand by in this movie. The "uglies" that choose to stay ugly are only staying ugly because they are already attractive or conventionally attractive. If you take peple who have truly been bullied for their looks etc and give them the choice of struggling while being "ugly" or being finally perceived as pretty while living life. Which would u think they would pick ???
I’m pissed because because not only should this movie have come out during the teen dystopian film craze, but Netflix is the one who finally adapted it. The attempt was so half-assed ugh
THATS WHAT IM SAYING😭😭 like y’all could’ve at least put some fake something something (like silicone molds) to change their appearance to look “ugly” and then their transformation should’ve been the actors real face or whatever
I AM AN UGLIES APOLOGIST, at least the book. Maybe the movie didn't describe the concept well. But it doesn't really matter what the people look like before or after the surgery because the idea of " pretty" and "ugly" is arbitrary. It is a way to make people feel inferior EVEN WHEN THEY AREN'T, much like our society today. The allure of becoming pretty is used to control the population, and to stop them from thinking critically about their government and societal norms.
They're really trying to say "it shouldn't matter whether you're conventionally attractive or not" while casting conventionally attractive actors. Like girl by doing that you're saying "you shouldn't change yourself because you're already beautiful" instead of "you shouldn't change yourself because it doesn't matter if you're beautiful".
38:35 This is literally how I felt about the School for Good and Evil movie! I loved the books, they were so perfect and I was so excited for the movie. But then they literally changed everything! They even took out/changed the most significant parts of the book, letting the movie become one big trash heap! The worst part is that the author HIMSELF had a hand in writing the script, like sir
one big problem with this movie is how nonsensical it is cuz netflix jsut chose to not mention any trivial parts that are explained in the book like... how the society functions???? in the books, people *do* work, but its certain groups of poeple. i think if i remmeber correctly there are "middle pretty" people that are in their 30's or 40's or so and are dentists n shit idr... but yeah its explained more in the books.
yeah... The concept is so dumb because even if everyone lookd the same, even if everyone fits all the beauty standards, us humans will still find a way to hate eachother and fight 😂
Not to mention that all of our wars aren't even in any way shape or form about beauty. Ricism yes, so idk this movie could be abt that. But beauty?? Which is sooooo subjective???
The Twilight Zone episode "Number 12 Looks Just Like You" tackles the subject of forced plastic surgery really well and it's from 1964. In the story people only have a select number of models to chose from and there's also psyhcological effects from the surgery. It's a very compeling episode and surprisingly relevant with "everyone looks the same nowadays" being a big topic.
The romance is giving camp counselor wants to date a camper. Very ick dynamic, awful execution for something we’re supposed to care about. I’m also confused on why everyone in the smoke are living in tents but the elders of the cult. Like if we can be competent enough to make a home once, we can do it again. Love your videos, thank you for always saying what we’re all thinking! I should cancel my Netflix now but they have my comfort shows and apparently I believe it’s worth $25 a month for 😵💫
Girl can you please, please, pleeeeeeeeease do a divergent marathon!! I luv those movies so much fr! We'll give you some motivation, YOU GOT THIS!!!(btw that Lululemon fit is eating ✨)
@@hipuppy12345 apparently in the book racism is a factor and after the surgery they make everyone one race, but obviously that would have been a big no no for a modern movie 😭😭😭
i don't remember the books that well but it's almost more interesting that they used movie stars/models for the cast instead of "ugly" people- pretty and ugly were fake concepts in the first place to encourage everyone to get the surgery. I think the pretties could get all sorts of random elective surgery (like hunger games capital people style) which would make them more visually distinct but again I haven't read the books in ages.
Yeah I wish they had made the pretties look more extreme and uncanny using prosthetics rather than the cheap looking cgi and filters. It would have hit so much harder
Don’t forget Shay bc that actress, Brianne, was so stunning in her “ugly” phase that her “pretty” phase in the movie didn’t even compare. Like was her imperfection supposed to be her haircut?!
seriously she looked so much worse to me 😭 maybe that was the point i suppose , but that bad shiny black wig and them putting those weird golden eyes over her beautiful brown ones kinda ruined her unique beauty
I remember I read the first book after I'd finished the Hunger Games, I was told it was a good YA dystopian but I wasn't impressed. It's not that I found it to be a Hunger Games cop out, I mean the book came out before THG did, I just didn't care about the message, the characters, or the society. The stakes just didn't matter to me so I never continued. Now, I feel bad for the author to have this movie serve as people's first impression for his story bc I promise you the book's better.
the uglies aren't supposed to be ugly thats the whole point, its supposed to reflect unrealistic and abnormal beauty standards placed on society, thats why they pretties are also not really pretty and kind of unsettling.
Those people doing goofy ahh back flips and dives into the water and sh*t at the beginning looked like a perfume ad ✋🏾💀 like they really thought they ate with that LMAO
They should just use that budget to fund more seasons of The Society and I’m Not Okay With This. Most of the actors have said they would be willing to come back, Netflix needs to stop playing and give viewers what they want
The way my sister and I watched this immediately because I just knew you’d roast the life outta this movie. I almost felt like I was a reaction channel this was so bad I couldn’t stay in my seat.
For everyone complaining about the Uglies not being "Ugly", the concepts of the book/movie are flying right over your heads and you're getting hung up on the wrong thing. 1. Ugly = NATURAL (no matter how "naturally attractive" you are considered in OUR society). 2. Pretty = UNNATURAL/ HIGHLY EDITED 3. This is a fantasy dystopian society where their societal perspective of what "beauty" is isn't the same, so using real life perspective doesn't even make sense, assume everyone has EXTREME body dysmorphia brainwashed into their culture values. 4. They made it very clear that self value & worth, freedom of thought, and freedom of choice is why people chose to be smokies, not because they suddenly realize that they were born pretty. SPOILERS: On top of that, film specific, if you know how the rest of the series progresses (assuming you've read the books), you'll know that the main cast predominantly ends up as "pretty" or "special" for most of the series, meaning that your original cast (unless you're going to recast every movie or spend a thousands on AI) will probably have to be attractive by default with. Also having the main love interests being actually ugly is probably a no-go for Hollywood.... A REAL critique of the movie would be along the lines of the pacing of the story, the amount of world building, and the explanations and building of character relationships were all VERY weak.

Joey King is somehow always on the worst movies of the past decade😭😭 and she’s a good actress
Fun fact this film was made on TikTok…
When I saw my baby daddy Keith powers as a UGLYY…. Yea no this movie was wrong for that and was gonna be trassssshhhhh
That replacement music at 35:29😂😂😂😂
For everyone complaining about the Uglies not being "Ugly", the concepts of the book/movie are flying right over your heads and you're getting hung up on the wrong thing.
1. Ugly = NATURAL (no matter how "naturally attractive" you are considered in OUR society).
2. Pretty = UNNATURAL/ HIGHLY EDITED
3. This is a fantasy dystopian society where their societal perspective of what "beauty" is isn't the same, so using real life perspective doesn't even make sense, assume everyone has EXTREME body dysmorphia brainwashed into their culture values.
4. They made it very clear that self value & worth, freedom of thought, and freedom of choice is why people chose to be smokies, not because they suddenly realize that they were born pretty.
SPOILERS:
On top of that, film specific, if you know how the rest of the series progresses (assuming you've read the books), you'll know that the main cast predominantly ends up as "pretty" or "special" for most of the series, meaning that your original cast (unless you're going to recast every movie or spend a thousands on AI) will probably have to be attractive by default with. Also having the main love interests being actually ugly is probably a no-go for Hollywood....
A REAL critique of the movie would be along the lines of the pacing of the story, the amount of world building, and the explanations and building of character relationships were all VERY weak.
I thought tally and shay were gonna be wlw 😭😭😭
