I think one of the scariest things is that in the original script. Alice didn't even know Jack. He saw her at the hospital and picked her as his chosen wife.
This would have totally worked!
So he kidnapped her.
Damn they should've kept that...
Wow that's even scarier
cite the source please i can;t find this? Lots of different things people said about the script and all i can find is the scenes olivia cut which were of her and harry talking about victory mostly slower scenes but add a lot of context that made the movie better. same with the whole she wakes up and reads her obituary in the paper. there's no info given on that existing in the script to.
This is probably one of those movies that should have been a NetFlix series instead of a 2 hour movie. This movie would have benifted from having more time to flesh out the characters and not felt so rushed to wrap things up at the end.
Wow I never thought about it but I agree.
Definitely agree. So many movies get screwed because they shouldn’t be movies. They should only be series.
nah it was poorly written and directed, it wouldn't make it as a tv show
@@xKillZone99 the original script would’ve been sooo much better. Apparently Wilde started making a lot of changes when Styles was brought on, that severely affected the quality. It’s a shame, bc there’s potential, but the movie definitely goes off the rails.
That's what I was thinking too as I was watching this, this really would've benefitted so much more as a television series, it's not terrible, but it's not the best and left a lot more questions than answers. It honestly would've made a really great thriller. I don't know why some directors don't think psychological horror/thrillers won't make it as a television series. There are some really great ones out there.
I'll be honest: if it wasn't for Florence Pugh, I wouldn't have any interest in this one at all.
Absolutely agree!
Honestly same.
Literally.
Yeah she looks good 😊
She really carried this movie tbh
Small question: Wouldn't any hospital raise an alarm if one of their surgeons didn't come in and just up and stopped coming into work or at least call the police do to a wellness check? Wonder how they got away with that little detail.
There was a part of the script that actually made sense to it, when she wakes up from the simulation she finds a newspaper about her "obituary" so that no one would be searching for her. Don't know why they scrapped that part.
They cut out a bunch of stuff that made the movie make more sense.
I assume for pacing.
but they fake the 'wives' deaths in the real world.
@@SjofnBM1989 Man that would have added a layer of creepiness to the movie. You escape the virtual world only to have to fight tooth and nail in the real world to prove you still exist.
@@mikemcdonald1999 I'm also pretty sure in the OG script Alice isn't his wife and he kidnapped her.
@@reiplushie8587 Yes!
The original script actually made the whole thing make a lot more sense, the husband was an abusive controlling ass, that's why he faked her death and trapped her in the simulation and when he went back to his abusive ways she started seeing cracks in the perfect world and investigating them.
The perfect loving husband who she's passionately enthralled with was a change Wilde made when she cast Stiles in the role (and supposedly soon after started a relationship with him).
The hardest thing to believe is he would actually go down on her well enough for her to be willing to trash her kitchen like that.
Lol
Harry Styles is a menace
Bc he had her give in to all his sexual desires as part of his simulation. Remember in the real world when he wanted to she said No she's tired. So he made made it so that she always gave into him now.
Men creating a virtual world where all they do is come home and hang out with their wives is crazy unrealistic too 😂
@@tonybadaboni blasphemy.
When he couldn't make mashed potatoes right, I knew then he was the villain. Legit, no super secret smart person would make mashed potatoes that way
wait can you plz explain? i dont get itt
@shannenbeatrice2088 just look at the way he made the mashed potatoes....
Unless he deliberately botched the potatoes to encourage her to resume her role or he is just an imbecile not having a clue how to make mashed potatoes.
The scariest part of the the simulation is the term “chosen wife” and that they mention Jack had a previous relationship with his, the implication that some of these men have women trapped and unconscious who didn’t want them in the real world. Kidnapping incels? Scary stuff.
It's scary because that's what a woman thinks men would do. But they don't.
That’s real horror. Incels are the worst types of people in American society
I believe there's a previous version of the script where Jack was just a stranger who was obsessed with Alice, and made her his "chosen wife" in the simulation... so yep, there's definitely a few women who didn't know their "husband" prior to arriving in Victory. as you said, scary stuff!
I wish they had that instead... I just couldn't help but roll my eyes when she defends her 30hr underpaid career as if Im gonna connect to that; I myself dont want to live a life like that. Would be better if she had a happy life alone/with family and Jack took her away from that. Her real life is miserable
"incels"
I love Florence Pugh! She is such a fantastic actor and I love the way she just simply exists on screen. The movie was ok but it felt like more of a black mirror episode…
makes me sad to think how much better the creators at black mirror could have done it.
@@readingginbed this
It would be interesting to see some Black Mirror episodes as movie wide adaptations.
Yeah that's exactly what it was. Was hoping for something different
She is genuinely one of the most gifted actresses alive. I'm always impressed by her regardless of whether the movie is good or not.
This has a strong first half but honestly has an underwhelming ending
I hate when movies or tv series have spooky, mysterious elements throughout that are never explained. To me, that is not only a sign of weak, lazy writing, but also a sign of the writers hoping for a stupid audience not to notice that certain things are never explained. I never watched Lost, but people tell me it's what Lost did.
@@superhotnutjob they thought having Harry Styles would be enough
I'd agree I wanted more
Some interesting concepts, but the delivery blew chunks. The typical reaction is "That's it?". Black Mirror episodes at least give you closure. This was a weak version of a long one.
@Super Hot Nut Job Lost had a season that was pure filler before the final one. The last episode was a huge slap in the face. The first three seasons were exceptionally good though.
Honestly it just wasn’t “there” for me like I wanted it to be. I ignored the controversy when watching it but I struggled to connect with it as much as I really wanted to. I felt like it could have been so much better personally. Florence Pugh carried it on her back. I wish they’d have gave her more to do than look confused
this movie is soulless. lots of scenes where u can tell olivia yelled "okay action!" right before they started acting. lots of laughing about nothing and forced tension, and harry styles cant pull it off.
My main problem with the movie wasn’t even the acting of everybody but Pugh but rather how Olivia didn’t really seem to understand how mysteries work in a movie. The movie basically from minute 1 on rubs it into your face that there’s something wrong which kinda defeats the purpose of being mysterious when you already know that something‘s wrong. They should’ve kept the movie more ambiguous and use the final act as a resolve for the mystery instead of basically telling you from the start that there’s something wrong but then keep it ambiguous in a pretentious way to add length to the movie.
@@dusthymn8187 YES
@@gggallin8279 I totally agree with you completely. I went in wanting OG stepford wives kind of movie and it missed every mark. I also heard she created chris pine’s character off of jordan peterson and she could have done soooo much better, I couldn’t even tell because she didn’t do enough to make that point
@@dusthymn8187 the same vibe I got while watching like some scenes you can clearly see Olivia was just trying to be deep and it just kept falling flat
i would love a second movie where alice finds the wives in real life and how the game falls apart once frank is dead would be cool to actually get the details, hopefully flo would work with olivia again
this!!!
True. This is where it would have made a better series than movie. I think a sequel would fail.
Well frank died at the end he got stabbed by his wife so I get your theory but it would be to demolish the frank experiment in all
I think this concept would haver been way more successful as a limited series. To dive a little deeper into each of the topics introduced later in the movie, and give backstory into the characters to make the audience give a shit about the choices & reveals.
All the sexual scenes in the film put me off it but part where it shows what their life was like before the simulation. It made sense in a way, as the virtual world was Harrys characters dream world where he could get what he wanted from Florences character all the time, were in the real world she was too tired from the job she loved and would brush him off nicely.
Agree, to me this is one of the only character inaction/traits that made sense/benefited from the "reality reveal"
@@blueismylove3128 If possible I wonder if getting more background on some of the other couples could have been done. Are some of the wives totally virtual? Is someone's daughter/sister/grandchild missing out in the real world and trapped in Victory?
@@mikemcdonald1999 Someone's daughter/female friend being trapped in the virtual world and they have to look for her would have been a better story line. It could even work as a sequel.
The weirdest thing is women dating and marrying down. This movie is female porn summed up.
@@SPDRM I find it counter....hyprocri...Cognitvie Dissonant of women.
First they want to have jobs like men, without working like men. So they try to pass laws to favor them.
Then they want to marry a man who makes more than them, when they literally pass laws to hurt men.
I guarantee this movie is a female utopia to most women, more than a critique of men.
I just saw it for the first time. It’s not a bad movie, not by any stretch of the imagination. But when you break it down, there’s really nothing special about it. This movie is an excellent example of style over substance. You can have the best DP, the best costume designers, and the best actors in the business. But that means nothing if you don’t have a strong story to balance all that out. It felt like Wilde was trying to create her own modernized take on “The Stepford Wives”, but neither her, nor anyone involved stopped to think about what it was that made that movie so great.
Of they called it a reboot of Stepford Wives, it probably would have been better received.
Instead they tried to make it an attack on Jordan Peterson lmao
well put. it's not a film that really rewards you for paying attention. the ending comes out of nowhere and doesn't do much to recontextualize some of the mysteries and breadcrumbs you saw earlier -- they aren't really even breadcrumbs at all. it's a shame because Pugh and most of the cast give great performances
olivia wilde was banging harry styles, that really clouded her judgement
@@yohnjates Yeah, I decided I'm not watching it when I saw that, John Yates. Don't like feeding hate.
Did they ever explain Peg being pregnant? Was the real-world Peg pregnant? If yes, do they just throw out the real-world baby and give the mother a SIM baby in Victory? And do they just simulate giving birth for the woman?
It seemed like they had some interesting ideas but went about them pretty half-assed (like Shelly killing Frank).
I don’t think she was pregnant. Remember when Alice came back and her “friend” was like “you know Peg? Wife of so and so. She’s been pregnant forever” so I think it was a lie. She was but not in real life
@@TJzWayyy yes i think just as how Bunny had kids in the simulation to forget her crisis, Peg was always pregnant in the simulation due to some part of her backstory we never learn.
Well Peg is always pregnant. They say the simulation can create fake pregnancies and fake children, so that could be the case but with how she is always pregnant I think it’s possible she was pregnant irl when put into the simulation.
I thought maybe Peg couldn't get pregnant in the real world
@@raqueld4899 or had a miscarriage?
Thank God you made this. I didn't wanna have to watch the actual movie ngl. I just wanted to know why there was some controversy around it.
The controversy had nothing to do with the movie or the stupid story. It had to do with replacing Shia Leboeuf with the One Direction guy dating either Wilde, or the main actress lady. It was very stupid nothing-controversy.
Obviously, I didn't keep up to date with the controversy, hahaha
Yea, it was just dumb, typical Hollywood drama about who's dating who and the director of the movie having beef with one of the actress. Just basic nonsense but typical media made a big deal about it. Nothing to do with the actual movie.
I guess those controversies are like when video games gets "leaked", folks eat it up and they can't wait to hear more. it makes the movie more interesting without much work.
You made the right move. It was such a predictable bleh
A simple Google search would've helped you long ago.
Just sayin...
The whole "die in the simulation, die for real" thing is the most confusing aspect of this. Why is that even a feature? Wouldn't it make more sense for death NOT to be a factor in an idealized fantasy prison? Make it LITERALLY impossible for the women to escape, even via suicide? Or, y'know, murder their husbands? That feels like a pretty big oversight.
Yeah especially when the whole point is to have the women be playthings for the men, while the men pay for the whole thing. It's not like the Matrix where the machines don't give a damn if humans die because they use the dead humans to sustain the living ones. Imagine how many people would nope out if they knew they could still die in this simulation.
I think because it interupted or shocked the hypnosis
@@jasminazman8901 no its just another lazy plot device to circumvent actual storytelling.
@@ian0143 I heard that hypnosis is not good when interupted.
@@ian0143 did you like the movie?
I learned in Amanda the Jedi's video about this movie that the original script seemed to be much more of a solid vision in exploring these ideas but it was edited and changed so much that the final form fell apart. Sad because there was so much potential but I agree. In the original Frank's character was an asshole the whole time and a villain but they seemed to afraid to make Harry Styles a shitbag and actually explore the concept full on. Plus the marketing on this one was so strange? I don't get it
I would argue the dinner table scene in the best in the film. Florence gives such a chilling performance and the tension is high throughout. Loved her delivery and tone, she acknowledges all the bs and is aware of how ridiculous it all is.
Loved the vibe of this movie, it was truly mesmerizing and anxiety inducing but there were so many plot points that fell flat. I wanted to know more about the plane, Victory Project 2, Margaret’s and Bunny’s backstory, and why Shelly killed Frank.
The plane definitely felt like something that was cut from the movie
I also wanted to know why the eggs were sometimes not real
@@lilymayer5444 those were glitches all the weird things were glitches in the system like the window moving… except the plane I don’t get that being a glitch
Women rule and are better than men at everything just don't ask questions was the vibe I got
@@dagfinissocoolReally? Because I got a "don't force people into a life you don't want vibe".
This wasn’t Harry Styles’s acting debut, that was Dunkirk (2017)!
Not to mention there’s also Eternals (given its just a post credits scene). But there’s also that other film this year. the policeman? (I think I can’t remember the name)
Yes.
@@tf9241 He can't act.
@@wiinterflowers4277 he’s decent
@@ashtonmcdaniels2934 No he's not. Stop trying to convince me that shit. He sucked ass in the film and I'm sick of Hollyweird shoving him in my face since I saw his untalented hack ass in Eternals!
I agree that this is one movie where it seems the message and themes got in the way of the storytelling and logical world building
Still, I always love a stepford wives type of twist, so this movie was still solid in my book
I didn't think that he had to pay Frank to be there I think he had to go back to the real world to work like a basic nine to five job to keep their apartment and to take care of/store her body there. So that they could continue to "live" in Victory. And that's what he hated so much. Hence all of the locks on their door. I think he was just paying for them to have a storage place for their bodies while they spent the rest of their time in the VR.
So fuckin dumb when you think about it because he could have gotten that same 9-5 when she was pushing 30 fuckin hours as a surgeon. They could have worked part time had had a lot of real world sex.
Fuckin ridiculous
I wondered this as well. This is why i wanted it to be longer and more fleshed out because I assumed that they were still working for Frank. Maybe doing the kidnapping of the unwilling women. And when they advanced in the simulation they were brought closer in the real world to the organization. He said he hated every minute of the work he did. So it would make sense he was doing something despicable for the victory project.
They just couldn't figure out how to tie the plot together so they said lol incel simulation xD and ended it. What a load of shit
Reminded me of my first duty station in the U.S. Army. 21 years old with a new wife of the same age. Strange seemily idilic small town where the wives were expected to make friends with the other wives and wait dutifully for the husbands to return home. And of course despite all of the accommodations that were provided it was a difficult transition for many starting families
That’s actually what I thought it was going to be about. Like some sort of rehab, therapy program where veterans could feel in control to help their PTSD or other mental issues
So much about this film was badly planned. The eggs aren't real, they're empty. But she makes him eggs every single morning. HOW DOES SHE MAKE HIM EGGS IF THE EGGS ARE EMPTY??
I saw a TikTok comment about this question and they stated "eggs are meant to break and fall, not crushed, hence why when she crushed it, the eggs are empty"
I loved this movie. I don't care what anyone says. Yes, I agree with all the inconsistencies, like, why didn't they come back to the eggs? That was a cool scene. But! I feel like I picked up what was being put down. It was a beautiful rough draft and I saw its intent and potential. I think it's a great film. ❤
I didn’t like this movie.. but Florence has always been one of my favorite actors. She’s purely talented. Even a film itself is garbage, her performance will *always* be great.
She’s the pristine, delicious French icing on this dry, bland cake
Funny story when I saw this movie:
My sister and I saw it, we didn't like it because of how needlessly complicated it was executed even though the twist was hella predictable.
Right as the movie ended, a woman who sat a few seats to our left looks right at us (theater was mostly empty and we were in the same row) and blurts out
"That was utter bullshit, I want my money back"
She was the best part of the movie tbh
What were you expecting? A hard applause? Lol
No feminist has ever made anything enjoyable.
Haha I just seen this movie on Netflix and wanted to know what people thought about it.. to me it was confusing but it had so much hype when it came out so I just wanted to see what was up but that’s funny as hell
@@warmarmot1
Exactly this movie is just men r
Bad the movie it completely
Sucked like men 2022.
She knew the movie was lame
What even was the point of the
Film??
16:28, you skipped over the creepy part where she sinks back into the water when Jack leaves and one of her reflections is still in the mirror! Maybe telling the audience that something in this “matrix” is going wrong?
Did anyone notice that when she sunk in the tub her reflection remained there, it freaked me out lol 😆
Yeah
The Stepford Wives meets The Twilight Zone. And a little bit of that reboot of Fantasy Island.
More like Black Mirror but yes
Thank you someone noticed the similarities to Stepford Wives. It’s just like how Smile is It Follows meets Truth Or Dare
The Stepford Wives was already very twilight zone-y. If anything, I'd say this is like a crappy copy of The Stepford Wives without the awesome twist.
Feel like I was the only person who really enjoyed this one 😭😭 like, yeah, Harry was stiff but Florence, Chris Pine, the style and story was great to me
I liked it, it was entertaining and I love Florence and Harry. I think this movie tried to be more than it ended up being but I liked it and will watch it again.
The part about him dying in Victory equating to him dying in the real world is an interesting bit. I didn't even catch that plot hole when I watched the movie myself. However, I think the concept of dying in the simulation which causes you to die in the real world, in this movie reminds me of what happened in the first season of Sword Art Online. Essentially, the use of nerve gear (think really fancy and advanced VR headset) allowed them to fully dive into the games and move around seamlessly (like in this movie). However, they end up trapped in the game and if you died in the game you died irl. This was possible because (and don't quote me on this it's been a while since I've watched SAO) the nerve gear was able to connect to their nervous system as it put them in a temporary paralysis to keep their in-game movements from happening outside which could cause injury. So when they died in the game the gear essentially fried their brain resulting in their death in the real world. So long story short, I wonder if that's what they were playing at here but because we were rounding up to the end of the movie they just sort of glossed over how their death in Victory would translate into the real world. But using this logic, you don't have to replicate what killed them in the simulaiton. So even though the dude gets stabbed in the simulation, his physical wounds don't necessarily have to mimic that. He's just dead.
The nerve gear would shock them to death basically. The electricity wasn't properly adjusted so the headset would kill them through static.
YESSSS! THANK YOU FELLOW SAO WATCHER! ALSO, it makes sense for u to die in real life if u die in VR. It's like when u die in ur dreams ur likely to die in ur sleep. That's why the brain wakes u up before u die (like when ur falling but wake up before u hit the ground) if the mind believes ur dead, then it will stop transmitting signals to the heart. The BOOM, ur ded
Or it could be like The Matrix where your consciousness just dies as Morpheus states the body can not live without the mind.
in SAO the headsets had a microwave emitter in them, it would cook the brain if removed or if they died. Really bad way to force the Matrix style of vr.
I’m sure that the story of SAO has an explanation for this terrible design flaw, but god damn do fictional VR companies ever need to invest in quality control.
I think the whole “If you die in the simulation, you die for real” thing is the same as if you die in The Matrix. The machine didn’t cause the wounds but the brain is dead
I took the ending with franks wife killing him as if she was in on it and running things along side him on the outside but inside she let him be the face but he screwed things up which is why she killed him lol
Ending Explained = Recap the whole movie
I feel like they were trying to make this movie like Stepford Wives meets the Black Mirror episode "U.S.S. Callister". there were so many plotholes in it and things they skipped right over that had no explanation that didn't give it the satisfying ending I was hoping for.
I made a comment above. Stepford Wives original version was truly still chilling.
The wife is the creator it’s like hand maids tale 😂 the wife is probably the super genius who created this world to get away from reality and just let him run it. I think that’s why she was so mad at Alice at dinner because the disrespect is really towards her not her husband. That makes the most sense to me at least 🤷🏾♀️
Reminds me of The Stepford Wives (2004 film)
@@reycesarcarino4653 that's what I thought.
Thanks for spoiling hand maids tale :(
Was there any reason to spoil another show? Or you are just like that?
@@birdgey
It’s really not that serious lol. Don’t go on the internet if you don’t want to hear random spoilers.
“Make yourself some chicky nuggies” 😂😂😂 this man is so funny 😂😂😂
The best thing about this movie was honestly the music. The women vocalizing with the drums was pretty cool
and the way her breathing sometimes triggered the music and it sounded alike.
It was scary to me lol
Real questions are:
Why is a surgeon working 30 hours stay married to someone like that?
Who was driving the airplane?
What about bathroom uses in the real world?
Yeah there were so many plotholes
Even if the extra bits were to add some, the movie is still kinda just ok in the end
Not amazing but not the worse
wasn’t Harry Styles’ acting debut Dunkirk? I don’t count Eternals because it’s a cameo, but I’m pretty Dunkirk is where Harry first acted
Yup! A lot of people don’t think it “counts” because he doesn’t talk much in it, but it was his debut!
I feel like I’m the ONLY person who really liked this movie, it was so good to me.
Not the only one!
I really liked it also but someone else commented this would have been better as a limited series on Netflix,give us more back story on the characters and fix plot holes
I liked it too ! Don't worry you're not the only one 😅
@@Partypooperfanmade YES!!!
I liked it as well. I went the comments and went 😮
yea i tried to sit through the plot but i cant, shits boring
I _love_ Florence Pugh as an actress.
I didn’t want to watch the movie cause the mixed reviews and I’ve been waiting for it to cover this!!!! You’re my only reliable film critic
Breakfast All Day is also a good one for reviews. And they do spoiler and spoiler-free reviews.
i thought bunny had said specifically that the “men” who die in here die in the real world. she didn’t say everyone or the women too. i was confused with that.
He also said that Margaret was fine and just needed treatment, so I wonder if he was actually telling the truth with that. Sorta a "half-truth" type of deal.
@@blueismylove3128 I think it goes with the theme of the movie and Victory's "reality" being that it's the men's fantasy of what they want their lives to look like, the women are incidental and can presumably be drugged or adjusted to be more compliant
It applies to everyone in the simulation, that’s why they ensure everyone that it’s safe there . But clearly they didn’t consider women killing their husbands. 🙂
This would’ve been a great episode of Black Mirror. But as it being a Hollywood movie it fell flat.
I think this movie had too big of a budget than what it deserved and that messed with the writing and directing. The car chase scenes were silly, the plane crash was left unexplained, the characters didn’t have much development and it was hard to feel a connection with them.
A great thriller makes the audience feel uncomfortable but intrigued, the lines of discomfort could’ve been pushed so much more to make this film better. Focus more on deep hypnosis and the reality of women and children being put in here against their will.
Step-ford wife's remake.
I actually enjoyed This I think people that don’t like it are the ones that went into it with high expectations I didn’t have any so I was satisfied with it 🙏🏾
Off topic but I was thinking it would be so cool to have a hotel resort with different time period themes that fully immerses you into that time with restaurants, clothing and technology being the same like what they did in the simulation. I want to experience the 50s or the 70s.
Saw this the other day. Way more drama BTS than the actual movie. But the movie wasn't that bad
there was alot of potential here they just needed to flesh out the story more
I CAN RELATE TO FEELING TRAPPED, BUT I CAN'T RELATE TO LIKING IT.
This movie left me with the message that happiness is better than freedom even though they weren't going for that lesson. Make me emotionally connected to Florence. Give me a close-up sigh while she's cleaning and a smile during surgery. Don't make her wonder whether she wants to leave. Show me that he basically kidnapped her with extra steps. Show me there's some type of injustice here.
well he did it multiple times against her will
Yep the message that working is
Good & being a stay at home
Wife is bad, pretty obvious.
@@brooklynnmcloud1470
Why did he though??
The original writer for this film is Shane Van Dyke, grandson of Dick Van Dyke who has written Asylum films like Paranormal Entity, Transmorphers 2 and Titanic 2, along with Hollywood horror films like Chernobyl Diaries and The Silence...just thought that would be fun to know
NO SHIT?! This has Asylum-stink all over it (no offense... I love a lot of schlocky Asylum movies, but they are their own brand of special.) But they definitely played it "fancier" and more stuck-up. I wish they had played it like all the regular Asylum greats. It's like the person who made it didn't realize it was supposed to be made as a joke.
It was! Thank you! Love Mr. Van Dyke, glad his grandson is doing well. Loved the Chernobyl Diaries.
That's a cool fact and also ngl it makes total sense
The only even relatively good thing you named from that list was the Chernobyl diaries
@@brandoncole5533 I think you're missing the point of the Asylum reference. If you've not heard of The Asylum, they make the crappiest remake-style versions of good movies, and they tend to give them very similar names. The whole point is that the movies are stupid. May I recommend to you The Shark Side of the Moon?
I just finished watching it and it kinda of made me sad, they seemed like they really loved each other. But I know it was very selfish for him to choose that life for her without consenting…
I never heard of the controversies. Just saw this on Netflix last night and i liked it!
Florence pugh is pretty much the only good thing about this movie
Ah, another "Perfect world/misogyny simulation" movie. Remember, if you die in the game you die in real life!
Ah, that perfect balance of being interested in a premise, but really couldn't pay attention to the movie. That's the found flix sweet spot.
There’s an action adventure movie that I love called “the island “ featuring scarlet johannsen and ream mcgregor directed by Michael bay and I feel has really similar themes to this film. Just wanted to give y’all a recommendation in case you’re looking
I had so so many high hopes for this but it was so bad and I couldn’t take it seriously when it comes out that they’re broke despite her being a surgeon. I work in the OR and just no.
Isn't she an intern ?
She couldve have many family debts
Can we all agree that the film's poster (where it just says "welcome to victory" with the plane falling from the sky) looks incredible, mesmerizing and eerie in the best way? 😋
No.
@@GODCONVOYPRIME Then go back to the simulation, you bot 🥴😅
@@GODCONVOYPRIME begone troll
all of your recent comments are complaining about movies that you probably didn’t even watch lol
Honestly, this movie had the potential to be really amazing, like someone said, probably would've made good for TV series rather than a movie. There were just little touches and nuances I wished they touched on more. Like Margaret's son being 'taken away to punish her', like I want to know why she flew off the handle and ran off with her kid. Yes, I know they said it's because she saw something in the desert, but why did she go with her son? I hate it's just brushed aside and we don't hear or see Margaret again after the party scene--she and her entire story is just swept off as some ominous and literal housewives tale. The other wives too, like Peg who starts to question exactly WHAT their husbands do at work and what that rumbling is about, why are the children treated like stowaways? It's little nuances and incidences like that that are just swept aside and never really explained.
Apparently the director changed a lot when Harry styles came into the scene, and she apparently had a relationship with him which probably played heavily into his character being changed.

Was his original character not a loser who Gets killed off & forgotten??
I called the ending like 20 minutes in. I literally said “what if it’s like a matrix thing.” I said it JOKINGLY and I was disappointed to be right.
This is literally just feminist propaganda lmao
Im really tired of these "men are bad" movies that seem to be everywhere. Putting aside all the BS, when it comes to female leads, I miss Sigourney Weaver types. Actual badass women, where did they go??
That's Hollywood for ya.
It's just a weak version of 'The Stepford Wives'.
This film is so boring. The only video of yours where I skipped ahead after 10 minutes.
I was desperate for this movie to be great! I wanted it to be good! I loved all the actors, especially Florence, and was so excited to see this, because how can a movie that looks (production design wise) SO GOOD, be this bad? What the hell happened??? I also heard a rumor that Wilde would seek off with Harry, leaving Florence as a ghost director in her stead. Idk if that’s true, just a rumor.
Wasn’t Styles acting debut in Dunkirk?
He didn't have any lines in that though, did he? I didn't see it, I just remember hearing he didn't actually have any real dialogue. Also, that's a bit different to this, where he plays a lead character who has to carry much of the movie.
Yeah, when Olivia Wilde said 'Frank' was supposed to be Jordan Peterson IRL - that just made me not even bother with the movie.
Same.
Just like Harry Styles said, this movie… is like a movie.
The movie’s biggest problem is that every idea that it has, has been done before and done better in other films. Mainly in the The Stepford Wives
THANK YOU!!! There were at least 2 versions of Stepford Wives…. This seems like a watered down version.
This movie was a good concept but it was executed weirdly
*This one felt like a watered down of something already great.*
apparently they changed the script a lot
@@mortthereefer3343 even the final script did not match with the movie.
I actually enjoyed it. Yes, it’s very Stepford Wives, but I liked the updated twist to the theme.
Love how foundflix channel introduce me to lots of horror movies
what i love about foundFlix is that movies i know im not gonna watch i have a feeling this dude will cover it and save me an hour or two on watching something im not sure im even gonna like lol
Question: you said that he chose to keep his real wife. Soooo does that mean that you can have a fake wife instead? Also, what is keeping some pyshco from simply kidnapping some girl/woman and doing that to her? Seeing as they have already done that to their wives.
yes. the point of this world is some narcissist who manipulates insecure, loser men. (think andrew tate and his fans) in the real world, he really was just some man child on discord and listening to a podcast. they were married in real life but you could entirely choose whatever woman you wanted bc again, this world is completely ruled by men. (which is terrifying) there was even a story they cut out that alice didn't even know him and she helped him at the hospital and so jack liked her, kidnapped and picked her. but then they decided to have them together but i assume (which i believe we saw) that he still had to knock her out and bring her somewhere either way. also his mental health results came back "fair" not "good" suggesting that he could be receptive to manipulation or hypnosis.
@@maddog9265wait can you elaborate on the mental health eval and him being susceptible to manipulation? What manipulation would occur if all the husbands were in on the victory project .
@@molleybrackney9585 bc before they even came across the project they were probably already insecure, misogynistic and had low self esteem, frank knows how to target these men and he says basic things abt how they're insecure and he KNOWS they wanna do better and they have it in them and it's bc to feel this way means they're "special". (even though its very common, you would do anything to believe youre not the problem) this instantly made these types of men listen. hence them eventually agreeing to the victory project. so his eval showing fair kind of just proves and shows that he was AND is still subject to manipulation. i hope that clears things up.
The chase at the end makes no sense. Why is there a physical location you must reach in order to leave? Why can't this exit simply be closed? A vr lock was never even considered?
Plus, Jack is dead. Who cares if she gets caught by the goons? No one is paying them anymore. She can just leave anyway.
I like that frank used the word Hysteria specifically. It was often used against women to belittle them, silence, them, humiliate them, and ultimately not believe them for a very long time whenever women didn't act the way they were supposed to.
Quit being hysterical
My dad used the term all the time on me and my mom
@@julie7005 Well if you guys weren't being hysterical all the time you wouldn't have had to say it
Lol more f-menist nonsense this
Is why this film sucked
@@mikelowery6227
They really be that way sometimes
They just hate when guys point
It out.
21:30
What in the story has shown her being “made to forget/remember” anything? What’s with the sudden line of questions? Also, they’ve been in Victory for who knows how long and she never asked where any of them met their husbands, had their weddings, or anything like that?
The part about asking her friends where they met their husbands/backstory didn't really make sense to me either. It seems like they'd definitely would have talked about that earlier. Also, she started asking questions because of Margaret and when she went to the desert, that's one of the only things that made sense.
The feminist boogieman is a Regular Man. Glad this movie bombed.
This movie Sucked
Acting was good especially the lead actress but the story
Been done
And done better
OG stepford wives got it in the bag
The knife wound thing, I would assume would follow the logic a lot of other similar stories have. The brain thinks its real so the body reacts like it is. so the shock of death to the brain in the simulation would cause the brain in the real world to receive the same shock and shut down. Something like that.
Right but why is that even allowed in the simulation to begin with? You'd think the simulation would have some failsafes to stop people from dying as the whole thing is to keep the women "locked up" as playthings and the guys paying for the whole experience.
….I guess
INCEL the movie.
Olivia Wilde is something else, no wonder Jason left her.
I remember seeing the trailer and I couldn’t understand why people thought it looked so good so I’m not surprised it didn’t do too good especially after the controversy
What’s the controversy?
I bet you didn’t even watch the film lol. Just going off what people say on the internet
Watch it and have your own opinion
Why can’t sheeple form their own opinions nowadays?
@@wanyekest6969 yeah he's the steeple for not giving pedowood money they didn't earn.
I don't have the correct words to describe this -- the way this movie flows, reminded me of Wilde's performance as Quorra in Tron:Legacy (2010). As though Wilde's time as director for this project, is informed by her experiences surrounding that role of Quorra.
She went hard with Book Smart, but has been shitting the bed with everything after
@@chiefbologna5719 Booksmart is shitty Superbad, she is a shit director.
@@milovarquiel fair enough opinion, not one accepted by the majority though
@@chiefbologna5719 It's widely accepted she is a shit director and she ripped off Superbad.
I think you're confusing the actresses.
This is like the movie Get Out. I figured it was a simulation because there was too much diversity for it to be the 50s. It needed more like more context and a better male lead. Pugh did good, and I loved seeing the modern "real" life they lived compared to the Victory Project's world. It the ending needed more substance too but overall was it was a good movie.
Still don't get how Chris Pine's character is based off Jordan Peterson...
Cuz Olivia Wilde has no idea who Jordan Peterson is, she just jumped on the hate train.
Are you going to cover Smile?
Chris Pine, still looking GREAT!
I started watching this on HBO Max and I really couldn’t finish it so I’m glad you did this
SAME ! I almost always finish movies but this one I had to go 😂
I love Olivia Wilde. Wanted to love the movie too (BOOK SMART was awesome)... But science fiction writers did NOT write this script. As one, I know that you can't just steal flashy, fun, weird things for your movie. You have to pay off with logical setup details by the end. Physics must be acknowledged and human motivations must feel real. This had neither by the end. Not Olivia's fault & she DID lean heavily into the surreal style and creepy fake-ness of the story.
Did anyone else catch the quick frame of Florence Pugh character between 7:54 and 7:55?
God this would have been such a cool concept if they hired good writers.
this movie feels like a movie
If they can make a virtual world with virtual people, why not just make a virtual wife? What's the point of having a woman plugged into the matrix 24/7 to... not actually do any cooking or cleaning but think she is? Why does the simulated tub not just clean itself? If the food is all virtual what's the point in gaslighting someone into pretending to cook it?
It’s nice to see that Chris pine is still acting. But every time he’s on screen, I keep confusing him for Anthony star(homelander from the boys)
I really hope @Found Flix covers the movie "Smile" it was so great an I would love to see a video on it!! I'm sure I'm not alone lol
