She has this unique combination of confidence, intelligence, and humor, and she never hits you over the head with it. It's kind of amazing that it feels like this is a person you could just invite over to have beer and barbecue with and not have to be uptight about it even though she's an Oscar-winning Hollywood star. As an actress I trust her to put on a well-crafted performance in whatever film or show she's in and she's frequently awesome these days.
Emma's got an old Hollywood quality about her in the way she carries herself that's so different from her peers; witty, charming and gracious. It's wonderful to see how much she's evolved as an actress in the past few years and I hope she continues to take on challenging roles that show how fearless & captivating she is as a performer.
@@sratus Wouldn't mind stepping in to deliver a few packs of Charmin to her door if it meant I'd be able to say a few nice words of appreciation about her work to her in person. Great idea 👍.

@@popboy0 It's a fantastic movie. I haven't seen a lot of the other Best Picture nominees, but it's a serious contender no matter what it's up against, as is her performance. And Ruffalo's. Fearless work.
@@serendipityshopnyc For what reason exactly? For normalizing sex with toddlers and prostitution? Well hollywood is full of pedophiles so that wouldn't really surprise me..
I remember when Emma Stone first hit my radar in Superbad, where Evan described her as “she hasn’t realized she’s hot yet”. This is still her, but in my world “hot” means “recognized for how talented she is”.
I watched poor things for the first time today, and looking back at her Oscar wins I'm SO glad she won, this movie was a piece of ART. Emma done such an incredible job, so did mark, the whole cast and crew, just wow... Absolutely incredible
Oh these comments make me so sad. There was so much depth to this film that people truly missed. What it means to be human trying to understand and navigate the world. How it is often the most innocent minds who don’t understand the cruelty of the world that are taken advantage of the most. And how the development of boundaries can often only come once we have experienced it ourselves. It’s the full exploration of how to build the authentic self.
Depth? A cbild having sec with men over and over and over again? Depth for paedophiles, sure, but here’s the analysis: “We must work. We must make money. But more than that, we must experience everything. Not just the good, but degradation, horror, and sadness. This makes us whole, Bella. It makes us people of substance, not flighty, untouched children. When we know the world, the world is ours. Now, go and f*ck someone.” This quote sums up the movie’s core message, and there is much to unpack. First, what’s wrong with “untouched children”? They’re supposed to be untouched. This movie DOES NOT like children. Second, this quote reflects the dualistic worldview of the occult elite, where it is believed that the bad, the evil, and the horrific are of equal value as the pure, the good, and the godly. It is by uniting the two that a person becomes “illuminated.” Finally, the madame probably doesn’t even believe in what she’s saying. She wants Bella to do degrading things so she can profit from her - the same way the elite wants us to believe in their indoctrination so they can profit from us. The movie makes sure we see Bella being degraded in every way possible. Also, simultaneously, the viewers are watching actress Emma Stone being degraded as well. The movie’s insistence on depicting sex scenes involving the actress takes on a ritualistic dimension where she’s being initiated through humiliation. One of her clients is an older, rather gross butcher who smells awful. After the encounter, Bella says that the sex was “brutal in a strangely not unpleasant way.” Bella (and Emma Stone) gets humped on by this guy while the audience is treated with full frontal nudity. Apparently, that’s what you need to do to win an Oscar nowadays. In another scene, a father has sex with Bella in front of his children for “education.” While doing it, Bella gives sex advice to the boys who sit there and watch. More sexualization of children. Also, Bella discovers that she’s bisexual. Of course. Bella’s girlfriend is a socialist. She tells Bella that a socialist is “someone who wants to change the world for the better.” To which Bella instantly replies: “Then I am that too.” The movie’s unabashed promotion of a specific political current is odd but unsurprising. Poor Things is not mere entertainment; it is creative indoctrination. In case you didn’t notice, the elite has been hard at work trying to create a socialist world government. They want us to associate the word socialist with “changing the world for the better.” If the movie had promoted any other political current, the movie would have been shunned. So, Bella reflects what the elite want women to be. However, her actions cause Duncan to lose his mind completely. Duncan ends up in the looney bin. While Bella is the creation of a man dubbed God, Duncan sees in her the exact opposite: “He has sent a demon at a large into the world. The devil wrapped in an alluring body that cannot be satieted and a mind that picks people apart stitch by stitch like a bloodied and burned rag doll shat out of an elephant’s arse.” While the “demon” is at large, her creator is dying. God is Dead When Bella learns that God is dying of cancer, she leaves Paris and travels back to London. The fact that God dies in the movie is symbolic as, in the elite’s philosophy, men are gods. In London, Bella reconnects with Max, with whom she was engaged before she left. Bella asks Max if “the whoring thing challenges the desire for ownership that men have.” Again, her being a prostitute is framed as some feminist power move that goes against the desire of men to own women. Max says he’s okay with it because it’s “her body.” Although they get married in a church, the black-and-white pattern inside of it indicates that this is actually about the occult elite’s dualistic “religion.” After God’s death, Bella takes over as the mad scientist. In the final scene, everything ends perfectly according to the elite’s vision for humanity. Bella lives with her socialist lesbian lover. Bella placed the brain of a goat into the head of her mother’s controlling husband. This man is technically Bella’s father. But not anymore. He’s a goat now. The movie ends with a shot of Bella reading. She is now an accomplished socialist bisexual lady. Every man who tried to control her is either dead or completely broken. Or a goat. The end. In Conclusion There’s a reason why mass media tastemakers celebrate Poor Things: It reflects the culture and mindset the elite is looking to force on the masses. It is representative of a society that is steadily straying away from everything pure and natural to embrace the sick, the twisted, and, yes, the ungodly. From God’s distorted face to the hybrid animal monstrosities running around to Bella awkwardly walking with an infant’s brain - everything we see is in complete opposition to the natural order of things. But that distortion is not merely esthetic. The movie also obsesses over twisted concepts such as the sexualization of children and female “empowerment” through sexual degradation. In this movie, a child discovering the world does not play around in nature; it plays with a dead man’s penis while stabbing him in the eyes. Of course, not all movies need to portray happy, pretty things. But Poor Things’ core message is that these disturbing things are good and desirable in an enlightened society. At least the movie got something right: It warned us about “tobacco

@@sickopathogen I wanted to tell you to read all the comments that are criticizing the movie and I discovered... they've all been cancelled! anyway, if you will get the chance to read this, I'll just say that 2 hours of a woman-child being constantly shown naked and having sex is anything but empowering. It's pedophilia with great costumes
Her comment makes me think of my son who is autistic.He doesn't worry about what people think of him. He loves life and and embraces new experiences. So I see some reflections of real life in the film. She is an amazing actress
"Poor Things" was a very unique take on Frankenstein and I personally enjoyed it quite a bit. It reminded me of "The Shape of Water" which I also enjoyed.
Honestly it has barely anything to do with Frankenstein, I see this comparison a lot but if you watch the movie the only parallel is the sci-fi medical practices. Bella is not a Frankenstein's monster and the themes and metaphors are entirely different
Greatest actress of her generation and definetely one of the bests ever. She deserves every single award for her portrait of Bella Baxter. Her performance is otherworldy, unique, innovative And she seems to have a great presonality as well
Her fans must be teenagers 😂 Imagine calling Emma, who has extremely limited range, one of the greatest actresses of her generation and one of the best ever. Meanwhile, she isn't even in the same universe as dozens of great, versatile, nuanced actresses in her generation alone.
@@tatskamaster completely agree. Trying to make 2 good hours of nudity, uncalled-for sex and prostitution pass as a good way to represent women's liberation is simply preposterous. And he didn't economize on woke agenda's preferred topics either, what with children sexualization, unspeakable "scientific" experiments and same sex bi-racial affinities. He left almost no box unchecked. Ah yes, the vilification of the male in general. As concerns the cinematography, stitching together Tim Burton with Wes Anderson on steroids isn’t gonna count as style. It was a baroque fest of boredom, and all violence displayed was mainly aimed at poor defenseless animals. A truly disgusting endeavour all round, painful to watch and only appealing to people who take pleasure in watching a minor have sex
As a neurodivergent individual who consistently acts in a way that society does not approve of, I can assure you it is a living hell. Most people with neurodivergencies don't take medicine to make their lives easier; They take it so that everyone else in the world around them, disapproving of their actions and existence, will make their lives easier.... But yes, generally, it is incredibly liberating to live your life unhindered by the shackles of societal pressures and norms
@@kelkabot ? they are saying that trying to live up to societal norms in our world is the living hell, but what is portrayed in the movie by Bella is truly liberating. stop trolling and being such a jerk
@@natalieryan2055you’re a perfect example of a neurotypical person who misses the point. The Bella character was so liberating for the neurodivergent in my opinion. Unbound by social norms, no filter, remarkably intelligent and observant, she grows at a faster rate than the rest and grows into an authentic version of herself.
Wow. Emma is on top of her game. An actor / producer / all around straight talkin' human being.... Ya feel like you're getting the real scoop on her profession and her real life.... She's done some memorable roles. But her role in "Poor Things" looks different and extraordinary.
@@anakon she probably intended that a child (because we all know the charachter here has the brain of a child, as well as the pale thin look of a child's body) should not have sex, and I agree wholeheartedly
@@maryjaneshoe-fm4yr I think it is. Loved every minute of this movie and happy to say.... I lived a lot like Bella in my younger years and never regretted a thing. But that's me
How exciting for this young, brilliant, creative, talented, human to get this opportunity, I love it! This human has been given much to impart to humanity🥰
Mark Ruffalo such a magnificent actor, he does a superb work as a supporting role here. Meaning, he acts to serve the lead character who happens to be Bella, nevertheless he finds ways to shine and not overshadow Emma's work. That's pure cinematic magic!
lol I read a comment earlier today that was body shaming Mark and I am still upset by it lol. There is nothing wrong with the way he looks. I hated his character but I think that was the point, well actually I liked him at the start, but after he got so whiny I didn't like him anymore.
She has a unique look to her. Nowadays everyone is trying to look the same. She has had a nose job though, but that's okay, having plastic surgery if you're bothered about something badly is fine, but having it to look more like everyone else is not great.
I think Poor Things is just about what humanity involves, maybe a study of society It shows you injustices, mean people, good people too, evil, moral behaviors established... It kinda shows you all the faces that have been formed at society through Bella, that doesn't experience shame It can be a social criticism or just exploring human behavior at it's purest form
The way she described her character is how I am. It's a wonderful way to be as a person, but being a part of society this way, is not so easy. You don't make sense to most people who try to make sense of you and ultimately, you are only just an idea to others.
I’d love to know how both of you came to be this way in the world? Do you believe this was innate or nurtured? Appreciate that this is a private question and you don’t want to answer. Just rare to come across someone who is able to provide a glimpse into that world.
@Lidida967 mine is a mix of nature( alcoholic, semi abusive mom, nurture( mom's 3rd and linal husband , my Dad),and an unmet birth father...so anything odd was his fault and I'm definitely a weirdo. I'm a friendly, civic minded mom and wife.
I've yet to see a comment about the novel "Poor Things" is based on by the great Scottish writer Alastar Gray. The novel and film are both great, but the reward of the novel is the typography, voices of some many characters (truly differentvoices)...highly recommend the novel, especially if you like the film. Have you not seen the film, read the novel first; a fascinating contrast.
I recently saw "Poor Things" and it certainly was unlike any movie I've ever seen. Of course you have to suspend reality to follow the storyline but her portrayal of a child going through an incredibly fast learning curve of life in an adult's body and even seeing how her speech rapidly progresses while driving Mark Ruffalo quite mad was extremely entertaining. I would classify this movie more of a comedy than anything and it's really some off the wall humor.
@@BeeWhistler Yep. It took awhile, but you finally showed up. No pedo, no propaganda. If you don't understand the movie and its metaphors, there's not a whole lot we can do to explain it to you. Let's just say it wasn't for you.
Blackbird was my grandma's favorite song, she did not beat breast cancer. But I had wanted to get a tattoo similar but with dandelion seeds flying into the bird. I thought her tat was like that. Anywho. I love Emma
I can understand when people don't like the same things I do, but I have felt excessively defensive when seeing criticism of Poor Things. I just felt so seen while watching this movie and it brought me so much joy. When people say they didn't like it, I feel as if they are the same type of people who wouldn't appreciate or understand my personality.
@@juliaromero6602 I find it hard to be entertained by the serial rape of a 5 year old child who can barely walk yet, talk in complete sentences yet, when she shouldn't of even been allowed out of the house without a parent or guardian along so she don't kill herself or accidentally murder someone.
My wife at her age had the same problem: spontaneous broken bones. Bone density even showed up X-Rays! Had the skeleton of an 80 yr old, and doctor said that can't happen to women her age, especially one who exercised, drank lots of milk. Yet doc had dozens of women in 30s with her problem. Bone scans weren't covered by insurance and we had to drive hours to get one. Today, even our GP has a machine, it's covered, and takes 1/8th the time! A simple shot every 6 months built her bone density way back up. Clearly hereditary, as our daughter at 16 show low density, too!
Poor Things is such a unique fantasy fable fairytale with an absolutely mind blowing performance for the ages by the incomparable Emma Stone! Well supported by fabulous performances by Mark Ruffalo and Willem Dafoe. A true work of art.
We have a family tattoo as well! It’s our last name in Elvish to celebrate our son’s one year sober-versary from a heroin/meth addiction. He’s going on 4 years now! All of us have the tattoo in different places but it’s the same design. ❤❤❤ Congrats to your mom, Emma. It’s 22 years free from breast cancer for me.
The novel the movie is based on is a metaphor for Scotland finding its confidence and independence. We have a full documentary on the book and the author on our channel. If you liked the film you should check it out.
this has good points about womans autonomy, nice scenery. warning: poor things is mostly about her growth as a sexual being not shown in trailers. this is suspect to me be cause the character is dreamed up by an older male writer.
a central vessel of bella's education may indeed be through sex but if you pay attention to bella's mannerisms and behavior, you'd find she's actually discovering myriad aspects of misogynistic men who act in ways that horrify, annoy, contemptuously amuse, and off put her, which is ultimately what leads her to kicking the epitome of a pathetic man- duncan- to the curb.
I agree. Lately whenever a movie or show has a woman being awoken sexually, or her first time having sex with a man just changes her world, when I go to check who the writer/screenplay writer was, it has always been a man. The actress is just doing her job as written. I only know my own sexual journey but I've assumed, based on portrayal in media, that for some young women, it is like this. I am now suspicious it is not that common and more likely is male fantasy, but we have been inundated with it in media so maybe most women just believe it exists out there.
Yes, the director wishes women's bodies could be used and abused without consequence. An absolute male fantasy. Shame on Emma, for playing the hand maiden.
Emma Stone is one of my favorite actresses. Poor things is a good movie. I'm tired between her winning or Lily Gladstone for Killers of the Flower Moon.
The movie shows how men see and wish women were. The idea that liberation can only come through "furious jumping", with this having no consequence or effect on the female body and mind. Pure male fantasy and shame on Emma for participating and promoting this bs. I'd like to see her support her daughter in entering a brothel. It's liberating and empowering, right.
Having had a cool blackwork silhouette of a wolf howling before a crescent moon on my shoulder slowly morph into a mange ridden rat choking to death on a half eaten oatmeal cookie over the decades, I can attest that all tattoos fade, blur, and sometimes even distort after a few years. So it goes.
She has always been great ever since Easy A. You watched that fairly average film and immediately thought oh, she's going to be huge. It's been pleasant to see that she picks interesting and unusual projects rather than getting sucked into the Marvel/Star Wars machine.
She has this unique combination of confidence, intelligence, and humor, and she never hits you over the head with it. It's kind of amazing that it feels like this is a person you could just invite over to have beer and barbecue with and not have to be uptight about it even though she's an Oscar-winning Hollywood star.
As an actress I trust her to put on a well-crafted performance in whatever film or show she's in and she's frequently awesome these days.

Her work in "Poor Things" is remarkable.
Her work as an actress, yes. The movie instead is nothing short of appalling.
@@oscar17891It's amazing 😅 what are you talking about. Bad take.
@@sickopathogen I wanted to tell you to read all the comments that are criticizing the movie and I discovered... they've all been cancelled! anyway, if you will get the chance to read this, I'll just say that 2 hours of a woman-child being constantly shown naked and having sex is anything but empowering. It's pedophilia with great costumes
@@sickopathogenJust one more of those people who get easily offended, Move along xD
@sabina6104 you karens were all up in arms about this movie.
Her comment makes me think of my son who is autistic.He doesn't worry about what people think of him. He loves life and and embraces new experiences. So I see some reflections of real life in the film. She is an amazing actress
"Poor Things" was a very unique take on Frankenstein and I personally enjoyed it quite a bit. It reminded me of "The Shape of Water" which I also enjoyed.
Oh I hadn't considered that! Good call! This was such a fun and surprising movie.
With Poor Things at least, it was also (Quite) Reminiscent of Pygmillion.. ...which would later be adapted for musical screen into My Fair Lady.. .
I just watched the shape of water recently. One of the most beautiful romances I’ve ever seen.
Honestly it has barely anything to do with Frankenstein, I see this comparison a lot but if you watch the movie the only parallel is the sci-fi medical practices. Bella is not a Frankenstein's monster and the themes and metaphors are entirely different
I found it closer to pinocchio than Frankenstein
Greatest actress of her generation and definetely one of the bests ever. She deserves every single award for her portrait of Bella Baxter. Her performance is otherworldy, unique, innovative
And she seems to have a great presonality as well
Her fans must be teenagers 😂 Imagine calling Emma, who has extremely limited range, one of the greatest actresses of her generation and one of the best ever. Meanwhile, she isn't even in the same universe as dozens of great, versatile, nuanced actresses in her generation alone.
Poor Things was fantastic. She was brilliant in it. Mark was also impressive.
I love mark ruffalo. Very versatile actor.
Worst movie I've seen in years. I've yet to see anyone give any substance behind the praise. It was boring, disgusting and distasteful.
Okay man.@@tatskamaster
@@mbizozo6271 And there we go. There's nothing there.
@@tatskamaster completely agree. Trying to make 2 good hours of nudity, uncalled-for sex and prostitution pass as a good way to represent women's liberation is simply preposterous. And he didn't economize on woke agenda's preferred topics either, what with children sexualization, unspeakable "scientific" experiments and same sex bi-racial affinities. He left almost no box unchecked. Ah yes, the vilification of the male in general.
As concerns the cinematography, stitching together Tim Burton with Wes Anderson on steroids isn’t gonna count as style. It was a baroque fest of boredom, and all violence displayed was mainly aimed at poor defenseless animals. A truly disgusting endeavour all round, painful to watch and only appealing to people who take pleasure in watching a minor have sex
I love how he plays with his ring when he talks to a pretty girl. Bless him.
She's delightful as well as talented.
As a neurodivergent individual who consistently acts in a way that society does not approve of, I can assure you it is a living hell. Most people with neurodivergencies don't take medicine to make their lives easier; They take it so that everyone else in the world around them, disapproving of their actions and existence, will make their lives easier.... But yes, generally, it is incredibly liberating to live your life unhindered by the shackles of societal pressures and norms
Did you like the movie?
“Living hell” and “liberating” don’t seem to match. Sounds as if you are making your peace with the situation, though.
@@kelkabot ? they are saying that trying to live up to societal norms in our world is the living hell, but what is portrayed in the movie by Bella is truly liberating. stop trolling and being such a jerk
oh lord
@@natalieryan2055you’re a perfect example of a neurotypical person who misses the point. The Bella character was so liberating for the neurodivergent in my opinion. Unbound by social norms, no filter, remarkably intelligent and observant, she grows at a faster rate than the rest and grows into an authentic version of herself.
Its unbelievable how emma rose to fame. First time i watched her in EASY A i instantly loved her.
Always had a crush on Emma Stone ❤️ Intelligent, beautiful, reserved, talented, great sense of humor, etc.!
She wonderful, but not reserved
I loved Poor Things so much! Emma Stone deserved the Oscar win.
Wow. Emma is on top of her game. An actor / producer / all around straight talkin' human being.... Ya feel like you're getting the real scoop on her profession and her real life.... She's done some memorable roles. But her role in "Poor Things" looks different and extraordinary.
Furious jumping!!
It's not quirky or cute when a character who doesn't know the word "sex" has sex.
@@maryjaneshoe-fm4yr It is so dark that is funny. It's a Greek tragedy thing that Lanthimos adds to his movies and a lot of foreigners don't get.
@@anakon she probably intended that a child (because we all know the charachter here has the brain of a child, as well as the pale thin look of a child's body) should not have sex, and I agree wholeheartedly
@@maryjaneshoe-fm4yr I think it is. Loved every minute of this movie and happy to say.... I lived a lot like Bella in my younger years and never regretted a thing. But that's me
YES! My favorite line! That and "I must go punch that baby."
I want her to start a psychedelic soul funk prog rock band and call it... Sly and the Emma Stone.
If you go chasing rabbits...
Sounds great, but can she sing?
White Rabbit is one powerful song!!
@@lxdr1f792
@@tonymiller6847 She literally won an Oscar for La La Land lol
The Emily stone. Surely
Emma Stone is extraordinary. Simply one of the best actors out there. Extraordinary talent and so fucking easy on the eyes
I really want to see this movie! I’m such a fan. She’s such a talented young woman. Just a great presence and sense of humor
How exciting for this young, brilliant, creative, talented, human to get this opportunity, I love it! This human has been given much to impart to humanity🥰
Mark Ruffalo such a magnificent actor, he does a superb work as a supporting role here. Meaning, he acts to serve the lead character who happens to be Bella, nevertheless he finds ways to shine and not overshadow Emma's work.
That's pure cinematic magic!
lol I read a comment earlier today that was body shaming Mark and I am still upset by it lol. There is nothing wrong with the way he looks. I hated his character but I think that was the point, well actually I liked him at the start, but after he got so whiny I didn't like him anymore.
@@The_Tortoise_and_the_Hare Yep. That was the point. And Mark Ruffalo is everything right!
She's still the most beautiful actress alive. ❤
She has a unique look to her. Nowadays everyone is trying to look the same. She has had a nose job though, but that's okay, having plastic surgery if you're bothered about something badly is fine, but having it to look more like everyone else is not great.
We love stephen colbert and emma stone
This woman is magical.
Emma Stone is still so gorgeous. Congratulations to her success.
Still? She’s a whopping 35
@@eartherinfire ahh crap thanks for indirectly reminding me of my age. You are correct.
Life for a woman ends after hitting 35
@magdam8290. Nonsense
Still??
The film was definitely different, for me, BUT the performances were excellent, any nominations or awards are really deserved.
As a person whose English is the second (foreign) language I can surely say it's music to the ear to listen to her. I understand every word.
Ms. Stone is awesome. Just love her work.
I think Poor Things is just about what humanity involves, maybe a study of society
It shows you injustices, mean people, good people too, evil, moral behaviors established...
It kinda shows you all the faces that have been formed at society through Bella, that doesn't experience shame
It can be a social criticism or just exploring human behavior at it's purest form
The way she described her character is how I am. It's a wonderful way to be as a person, but being a part of society this way, is not so easy. You don't make sense to most people who try to make sense of you and ultimately, you are only just an idea to others.
Same. Positive vibes from New Hampshire, remember to be kind to each other and yourself during these trying times.
I’d love to know how both of you came to be this way in the world? Do you believe this was innate or nurtured? Appreciate that this is a private question and you don’t want to answer. Just rare to come across someone who is able to provide a glimpse into that world.
@Lidida967 mine is a mix of nature( alcoholic, semi abusive mom, nurture( mom's 3rd and linal husband , my Dad),and an unmet birth father...so anything odd was his fault and I'm definitely a weirdo. I'm a friendly, civic minded mom and wife.
@@tammystockley-loughlin7680 thank you for sharing about this part of yourself. So much resilience and spirit in you.
She seems like an absolute fucking awesome human being wow
The story also made me think of Voltaire's "Candide".
Most definitely. I thought the same thing.
What a magical creature, she is.
I've yet to see a comment about the novel "Poor Things" is based on by the great Scottish writer Alastar Gray. The novel and film are both great, but the reward of the novel is the typography, voices of some many characters (truly differentvoices)...highly recommend the novel, especially if you like the film. Have you not seen the film, read the novel first; a fascinating contrast.
Congrats on the Oscar win Emma!! You were incredible.
I recently saw "Poor Things" and it certainly was unlike any movie I've ever seen. Of course you have to suspend reality to follow the storyline but her portrayal of a child going through an incredibly fast learning curve of life in an adult's body and even seeing how her speech rapidly progresses while driving Mark Ruffalo quite mad was extremely entertaining. I would classify this movie more of a comedy than anything and it's really some off the wall humor.
Joel... if it's a comedy, then the Mona Lisa is a cartoon
She has one of the BEST resputations in Hollywood. Go wonderwoman!
What, even after starring in a pedo propaganda movie?
Yeah, I have never heard anything but good things about her. She's incredible.
@@BeeWhistler Yep. It took awhile, but you finally showed up. No pedo, no propaganda. If you don't understand the movie and its metaphors, there's not a whole lot we can do to explain it to you. Let's just say it wasn't for you.
I love her voice. Just love it! ❤
Blackbird was my grandma's favorite song, she did not beat breast cancer. But I had wanted to get a tattoo similar but with dandelion seeds flying into the bird. I thought her tat was like that. Anywho. I love Emma
Poor Things is my favorite movie that she’s ever done. I think it’s currently my favorite movie at the moment. I love her!
I can understand when people don't like the same things I do, but I have felt excessively defensive when seeing criticism of Poor Things.
I just felt so seen while watching this movie and it brought me so much joy. When people say they didn't like it, I feel as if they are the same type of people who wouldn't appreciate or understand my personality.
@@juliaromero6602 I find it hard to be entertained by the serial rape of a 5 year old child who can barely walk yet, talk in complete sentences yet, when she shouldn't of even been allowed out of the house without a parent or guardian along so she don't kill herself or accidentally murder someone.
@@juliaromero6602 Are you a s*x worker? If not, why not? No consequences, according to Poor Things.
Emma is amazing, I've been following her career for a long time. Differentiated actress.
Oscar for Bella! Emma Stone's stellar performance with cast extraordinaire!
My wife at her age had the same problem: spontaneous broken bones. Bone density even showed up X-Rays! Had the skeleton of an 80 yr old, and doctor said that can't happen to women her age, especially one who exercised, drank lots of milk. Yet doc had dozens of women in 30s with her problem. Bone scans weren't covered by insurance and we had to drive hours to get one. Today, even our GP has a machine, it's covered, and takes 1/8th the time! A simple shot every 6 months built her bone density way back up. Clearly hereditary, as our daughter at 16 show low density, too!
Poor Things is such a unique fantasy fable fairytale with an absolutely mind blowing performance for the ages by the incomparable Emma Stone! Well supported by fabulous performances by Mark Ruffalo and Willem Dafoe. A true work of art.
SHE WON THE OSCAR!!!
We have a family tattoo as well! It’s our last name in Elvish to celebrate our son’s one year sober-versary from a heroin/meth addiction. He’s going on 4 years now! All of us have the tattoo in different places but it’s the same design. ❤❤❤ Congrats to your mom, Emma. It’s 22 years free from breast cancer for me.
thats incredible!! im so happy for u, ur son, and ur family. sobriety is tough, but we go one day at a time!!
Oh she's simply the best!
Emma outstanding in this amazing movie
I like her so much & I'm definitely rooting for her at the oscars. Poor Things was so good!
I love Emma Stone! I just watched Poor Things last night. All I can say is WOW! She’s so great!
While having Christoper Nolan admire your work must be the greatest feeling ever, he is also a fan of the Fast and Furious franchise. so....
And that's okay, too.
Bella want Oscar
Oscar Bella gets?
EMMA STONE a wonderful actress and a well deserved GOLDEN GLOBE! She rules the stage with her intellect, humour and self confidence!
She got Paul McCarthy to draw Blackbird feet so she could get them tattooed… goodness! The good life.
Living a life without judgment sounds incredibly wonderful.
Yeah I get that is what they were going for, but I couldn't get over the fact that a 5 year old is getting repeatedly statutorily raped repeatedly.
The novel the movie is based on is a metaphor for Scotland finding its confidence and independence. We have a full documentary on the book and the author on our channel. If you liked the film you should check it out.
Where can l find your channel?
That is very interesting! Looking forward to the book. Thank you for your post and did I mention I LOVE Scotland? Brilliant country!
She's such a a good actress, I have always been a fan.👍🍀
this has good points about womans autonomy, nice scenery. warning: poor things is mostly about her growth as a sexual being not shown in trailers. this is suspect to me be cause the character is dreamed up by an older male writer.
Well she produced it and wanted to act in it so why is it suspect? She obviously wanted the character to be portrayed like this
a central vessel of bella's education may indeed be through sex but if you pay attention to bella's mannerisms and behavior, you'd find she's actually discovering myriad aspects of misogynistic men who act in ways that horrify, annoy, contemptuously amuse, and off put her, which is ultimately what leads her to kicking the epitome of a pathetic man- duncan- to the curb.
Women can be problematic too
I agree. Lately whenever a movie or show has a woman being awoken sexually, or her first time having sex with a man just changes her world, when I go to check who the writer/screenplay writer was, it has always been a man. The actress is just doing her job as written. I only know my own sexual journey but I've assumed, based on portrayal in media, that for some young women, it is like this. I am now suspicious it is not that common and more likely is male fantasy, but we have been inundated with it in media so maybe most women just believe it exists out there.
Yes, the director wishes women's bodies could be used and abused without consequence. An absolute male fantasy. Shame on Emma, for playing the hand maiden.
That is my favorite Emma Stone interview
I love Emma Stone!
(In the voice of Fozzy Bear) “What’s one bone Emma Stone hasn’t broken?
Her humerous!”
Thank you, thank you.
And the big hook comes out from stage left...😂
Waka Waka Waka!

@@louiebee6745 😜😂
Poor things, Amazing jop from director Yiorgos Lanthymos, Emma fantastic performance deserve an Oscar for this , movie out of this world, unigue
Emma Stone is one of my favorite actresses. Poor things is a good movie. I'm tired between her winning or Lily Gladstone for Killers of the Flower Moon.
Can't get out of my head the furious jumping 😢
Love that term so hilarious!!!😅😅😅
"Poor Things" was an excellent. Emma seems like a very cool person.
As a huge Beatles fan, I love the idea of her tattoo
She was sooo good in Poor Things, fantastic movie. Love her
This poor things is killing it I'm gonna have to get blueray for the big screen no stream on the phone ❤
If Emma has bone breakage problems, that makes the dance sequence in "Poor Things" even more remarkable. All that jumping around!
Emma is so impossibly beautiful.
Poor things is such a good movie and it shows what women have been through and go through every day Hop she will s a Oscar for this movie
What do women go through every day? I’m a woman and I am perplexed by your comment.
The movie shows how men see and wish women were. The idea that liberation can only come through "furious jumping", with this having no consequence or effect on the female body and mind. Pure male fantasy and shame on Emma for participating and promoting this bs. I'd like to see her support her daughter in entering a brothel. It's liberating and empowering, right.
@@jen4um Wow... Where do I start?
Brilliant movie, bizarre story and great bold metaphore
Outstanding male gaze too. Superb.
Will someone PLEASE tell Emma Stone that "Brake a Leg" is just an Expression!!!
Having had a cool blackwork silhouette of a wolf howling before a crescent moon on my shoulder slowly morph into a mange ridden rat choking to death on a half eaten oatmeal cookie over the decades, I can attest that all tattoos fade, blur, and sometimes even distort after a few years. So it goes.
In bed.
Lmfao
Sounds like a meanwhile moment to me
That was a wild film I loved it. An innocent child’s world view that exposes how complicated adults have made interpersonal relationships.
Relationships will be uncomplicated if you only think about your own needs and what you want in the moment.
@@maryjaneshoe-fm4yr That is very privileged and narcissistic view and not true.
Not a child, though. A person raised with no restrictions. Starts out as a child, but she grows exponentially.
Emma Stone is extraordinary.
Such an incredible piece of art work and I was so drawn to and attracted to ruffalo in this 😂❤
Great film beautifully acted.
Please put her and Jennifer Lawrence in a movie together!!! 😆
I loved poor things so so much
She has always been great ever since Easy A. You watched that fairly average film and immediately thought oh, she's going to be huge. It's been pleasant to see that she picks interesting and unusual projects rather than getting sucked into the Marvel/Star Wars machine.
Can’t imagine how easy it would be to recruit actors for projects when they know Emma is on board.
The most likeable actress alive...
