TITANE: A metal highly resistant to heat and corrosion, with high tensile strength alloys, often used in medical prostheses due to its pronounced biocompatibility.

    I wish if it where about a make believe princess and not Diana.. excellet performance from Kirsten Stuart but horrible portraial of princess Diana and royal family..made them look inhumane and robot like..very silly also because the aim of the film was to feel sorry for diana but it did the complete opposite..made her look ungrateful and nuts.

    Correction of jewish beliefs. No wife other than Eve is considered canon to christian or jewish bibles, and in traditional christian thought Adam is considered more responsable than Eve for not intervening and protecting his wife. There have been christians in the past who try and frame it otherwise but thats not the traditional or proper reading of the text.

    Awful cringe film, weve seen this Message of men being the bad Guys over & over, even in the bible Itself, the fact that movies about Men can be made that just blame Them for all the wrongs of the world & acting as if women did nothing Wrong tells me we live in a women Centric society that sees men as expendable & inferior.

    This film is just fab. I saw it and its just fantastic. Kristen did a superb job. She is just flawless. To those who do not understand this film, it is how Diana mightve percieved those around her and her interpretation of everything in her life. I think this narrative is closest to what she mightve gone through.

    I feel like the film ruins the character scenario factor. Like playing tag, he gives it away to easily and foolishly. It was tense and fun up until that plant guy blew spores into her face. You can still have suspension of disbelief even in fantasy and surrealism, but he took it too far to the point of constant eye roll. Real waste

    This review analysis was truly great insight! My initial interpretation was very shallow and biblically centered, I found parallels between James and lucifer the "fallen angel" as he tormented her and "pushed her to commit the acts that led to his (or mankind's) demise" ( referencing sin and the apple scene again) when really it was a cycle of finger pointing and lack of accountability for man's own weakness. I also found that the movie had a lot of allegorical references to the abuse mankind puts upon mother nature which can be represented by harper. This means it wasn't referring directly to men but the human race and patriarchy as a whole. The men went to immoral, tormentfull and destructive extents to reach Harper, wether emotionally like James, spiritually or physiclly (which could reference the forbidden fruit and the apple scene) . The end scene really locks this in when she asks what James wants from her and he replies "your love". This could represent the unrequited and unconditional love and nurture man or mankind demands not only to mother nature but also to women in our society without fair or ethical exchange. I know this is all super messy but I hope my point got across. This movie was great in my opinion and theres so much more to unpack but it reminds me a lot of the Jennifer Lawrence film "Mother!", if you like this movie and haven't watched Mother, I highly suggest it.

    Contrary to popular opinion, I believe the movie offers a narrative that goes beyond simply presenting men as monsters. Many viewers interpret the film as depicting every man as a threat to the protagonist. However, I see it differently. The film explores the trauma and guilt experienced by the main character, causing her to perceive every man as a threat and a nightmare. The concept of a single man embodying all her fears and stereotypes about men is central to the story. As the protagonist witnesses multiple men dying and being reborn repeatedly, she begins to understand that behind all these "idealizations of men" is the ghost of her ex-husband- the true source of her haunting. When she finally makes peace with this realization, she is shown in a state of calm, smiling at her friend. The musical choices in the film further emphasize this journey. The movie begins with a single version of the song, known to be inferior to the duet version with Elton John that concludes the film. This progression underscores her path from isolation and fear to understanding and acceptance.

    • @elongatedmanforever1252

      The problem is that she's shown as the pure good guy & every man Is bad, the film has no nuance at all.

    I felt that all the men Harper came into contact with, represented all of the men who have either assaulted, abused, dismissed and disbelieved (the cop), and condescended to her throughout her life, however the all had the same face of toxic malignant masculinity. Maybe James has a different face because he too has been a victim of oppression but has too been birthed by toxic masculinity.

    • @elongatedmanforever1252
      @elongatedmanforever1252 Месяц назад

      So it's pretty much that men r bad just cause??, this toxic Masculinity bs comes across as sexist in itself mostly because We rarely if ever talk about the female equivalent cause people act as if women can't be bad as men & were all just heroes in The past?? That's absurd.
