Date: March 3rd, 2025 10:39 PM Author: JDpon Don This flick is very, very misunderstood, even and especially by the "media literacy" types commenting on it as a pro sex worker piece of art (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=5688542&forum_id=2Elisa#48711933) |
Date: March 3rd, 2025 10:41 PM Author: JDpon Don The deliberate poverty of language in it juxtaposed by the almost Shakespearian scene by scene settings is also a brilliant choice by the director The settings are post-apocalyptic |

Date: March 3rd, 2025 10:43 PM Author: .,.,...,..,.,..:,,:,......,;:.,.:..:.,:,::,. I made a thread on this when the film came out. It’s extremely old school and conservative. The protagonist calls people faggots, there are no non white characters, and Anora doesn’t succeed in the end with a fake happy ending. She’s slapped down and reminded to stay in her place. Her social class doesn’t belong with the billionaire oligarch class and she should be happy for the memory of being able to be in their company in the first place. Shocking that this film won best picture (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=5688542&forum_id=2Elisa#48711942) |

Date: March 3rd, 2025 10:53 PM Author: JDpon Don It's not classical liberal reactionary either though, although the ending is as cruel as any class humiliation plot point I've ever seen in a film. Marvelously cruel. It left a bad taste in the back of my throat for a minute after the credits rolled. Synecdoche new york type stuff Few of the characters outside of the Mark the Ratslayer type henchmen are given good treatments (the parents are either portrayed as domineering or "flat", and the latter seems to be a worse characterization than the dissolute son's according to the director's sensibilities. Strong oedipal stuff going on with the mom too) and the moral message is pretty clear (and absolutely true): Sex work disempowers and ruins women and creates a sort of disenchantment with womanhood that precludes having a life of decency |

Date: March 3rd, 2025 11:58 PM Author: JDpon Don The lib responses to this notion cropping up now that it won The Award are either "it's misogynistic" (irl cackling at that) or that it's primarily about class differences (it's not. it's about women, the economy, and Cicero's "O tempora O mores" lamentation) (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=5688542&forum_id=2Elisa#48712069) |
