    1. does anyone know how to view the full video? these comments are covering the text. I've given up trying to view people's content because of it 🙁

    2. i can tell when people haven’t seen enough media based on their reaction to this movie. you’re allowed to dislike it but the trope of “born sexy yesterday” is used in soooo many movies like the Fifth Element. this movie just presented the trope for what it is and people became disturbed.

    3. The movie is supposed to make you uncomfortable. It's criticising the "sexy baby" trope where a woman is both infantilised and sexualised by literally putting a childs mind inside a full-grown adult. Throughout the movie, she is manipulated by the men around her until she is able to become her own person.

    4. Ugh people don’t get art at all in these comments. I guess it’s kind of like what you get when you serve filet mignon to a child. If you all just want chicken tenders and ketchup say that and go watch something else 😅

    5. And Blake lively didn't even bother to read the book. There was no studying of the character. She just made the character into what she wanted her to be

    6. If the movie made you uncomfortable that’s the point, it’s supposed to because that is how women are viewed, so if the movie grossed you out, imagine how women feel being told to look like a woman but innocent like a child

    7. I read the book but haven’t watched the movie yet- sounds like the “what the fuck” factor got portrayed well in the movie

    8. jesus christ y’all are stupid, the point of the movie is to point out tropes of the actually problematic movies that show women with the intelligence and mannerisms of a child but the attractiveness of an overly sexualized model—like “the fifth element”, “blue lagoon” really any brooke shields movie from when she was young, “forbidden planet”, or an inverted sexualization of males in “encino man” and “george of the jungle”.

    9. She literally fucked over every man in the movie. Not a single deed against her has gone unpunished. In the span of a year she went from being non verbal to walking, talking, traveling the world, exploring philosophy, having a relationship breaking off the relationship, working, finding her husband, all but killing her husband, burying her father, finding her purpose and finally chilling with her friends in how own garden. In most cinema a woman is punished by society, by her family and lovers. This charcated is never punished she simply does what she wants and gets a happy solo ending.
