This was not the Babygirl take I was expecting, but I like it. It makes sense.
Ty Matt!! :’)
I have not seen the film but recently I heard from a friend that they ask Gemini to come up with grading for their students and what to buy as a present for their partner. That to me was the moment the fear of it all really clicked for me. This genuinely erodes the emotional connection we have between each other. From teacher to student and between lovers in this case. It's like there is a middle man for our emotions which cannot be good.
I'm not knowledgeable enough to speak on this and I might be wrong but in the same way colonial fed capitalism needs to dehumanise other people, it kind of kicked in to higher gear and is now dehumanising you from yourself. I fear it might result in a much more sinister way of silencing opposition from the human spirit.
YES
It is also interesting how AI is being used for things that can easily be googled instead like gift giving and how we're getting lazier and lazier in seeking answers and knowledge in favor of speed and convenience
While I am also generally critical of AI, I find people to often exaggerate the affect Ai has. Like how are your examples different to things already done by technology before AI? If a test could be graded before using a computer like multiple choice or maths people did that. And if not alreast in most colleges correcting test is partly outsourced to cheaper paid TAs etc. There was no personal connection. And the difference in work between using google and using Ai is laughable, it's maybe 1-2 steps more and that's if you include clicking on something and scrolling. Compare that to the switch from like having to go to a library, read through books and then finding an idea. The switch from general internet to AI is a tiny factor in losing human connection compared to the internet as a whole.
Specially when the option to ask in a forum and create an emotional connection with online people is possible
@emilyk2224I don’t think it’s laziness but more so burnout from a capitalist system. By the end of the day people genuinely don’t have the energy to do these things independently of technology. As a teacher I’m seeing more and more teachers relying on AI because we are doing the job of 2 or 3 people as the education field is severely understaffed. Just what I’m noticing.
As soon as you said "i think this is a metaphor for ai takeover", i got an ad for ai......life imitates art
what the hell sure
Great analysis! I think whether or not you believe that this was the purpose behind the movie or the "hidden message" I think your analysis goes to show how much our society is reflected in our art -- intentional or not -- and how much we can ultimately interpret movies like this using our modern world as a tool. I'm subscribing and I def want to hear more of your hot takes :)
@ohinteresting6715 YES!! I actually talked about this in the original cut of the vid and then ended up taking it out :’)
Okay okay this was NOT the take on this movie I was expecting but I’m living for it. I knew there had to be something with the automation and her desire but I just hadn’t quite been able to get those things to gel in my head. Thank you for this! I’m going to go check out some of your other videos.
Ahh tysmmm :’)
I feel the same way! I had a gut feeling about some of these elements in the movie but couldn't quite deduce a theory off them. This was perfectly verbalized
Love how well researched this is! I think there’s also something to be said for Romi wanting to submit and be told what to do as mirroring a dependance on ai to tell us what to do or think.. I was also disappointed by the ending tho, final sex scene was very lame
How does AI tell us what to do? Or what to think?
Except I dont get told what to do with Ai. It gives options and I choose the one I think is best.
@kahlernygardif those options are given to you by the AI is effectively telling you what to do and what to think
@chokolat762 thats not how it works bro
For another film about automation and romance, I would recommend 2016's Operator, starring Mae Whitman. A man decides to use his wife's voice for the virtual assistant he's building. It's a film about emotional labor and how we can commodify our partners. Real relationships mean making room for change and growth from both parties. Anyway, I found it very challenging and not enough people saw it.
Ooh I’ve never heard of it ty for the recommendation I’ll check it out!
How did Operator miss my radar?? I love Mae Whitman. Ty for the rec!
Operator is soooo sooo good and i can't really watch it anymore because it's almost what went down between me and my ex *i made more room for him in the relationship than i did for myself and he also had intense anxiety like the guy in the movie* but it's so good
@camdenhunt3776 Yeah. It made me rethink some things. It's one of those morality plays I have in my brain to help me catch bad stuff in my marriage.
omg FINALLY a video essay that's actually an ESSAY and intellectually stimulating!!! granted, it wasn't about what i'd expect, but isn't that the joy of video essays :) really, thank you so much for this-i really needed an actual, original take and analysis of something
The soundtrack of Babygirl carried this film. I discovered so many gems thanks to it.
"So you really think automation path can provide a path to sustainability or is that just something people say to make you like robots?" - Babygirl
I think this is simply a stab at companies trying to make everything about sustainability.
@zzeegermantube It comes off this way, but I also feel like he recognized then tried out his theory that the CEO of such a company likely embodies "the spirit" of the company. Like, for instance, Christian Grey from 50 Shades of Grey likely operates his business similarly to his sexual behavior. I thought it was interesting Kidman's character comments on Samuel's ability to see people so also helps with the assumption that at the very least he made the comment in an attempt to see her, which worked because she clearly took the question personally.
When you got done explaining about Samantha from Her and started with just saying SAMUEL.. I gasped
Your take is so interesting ! I also felt like it was generational problem and how a lot of women are unable to express their desires or explore themselves through their marriage, even if this looks like a perfect healthy marriage. The age gap i felt was pretty intentional as Samuel represents a more open minded view around relationship and bds/m dynamics. I felt that it was pretty interesting to see this trough the lense of a female director, and now i take a lot of interpretation from you as well. Great video !💌
I absolutely loved when the two men were in the same room and the younger man tells him he’ll never understand.
I left the theater unsatisfied but this video made me appreciate the film much more. Excellent video!
same here! i felt like the montage of the movie wasnt serving it. like the flashbacks we see from the kids and she mentions once she was raised in a cult, which she says its a joke but doesn't feel like. and that information serves what purpose? none! lol it feels like a lot of stuff was cut off of the final cut, idk if that's the case but it made a difference to me.
imo the movie could have explored more of the emotional side of romy since she is babygirl™, developed more that side story abt the flashs and the therapy she does. explored how Samuel just knew from the get go how to push her buttons (he could have been fired in the first 10 min of the movie if he had miscalculated his moves).
and it's fucking nicole kidman married to Antonio Bandeiras, they know how to get in there and get it done, you know? i really left the theather feeling like this could have been one of the best movies ever, if only they had added more to the final cut. it all felt super low stakes to me which doesn't make sense since we see her conflict and how it should feel high stakes
this discussion reminds me a lot of Mina Le’s video about a lack of third spaces. love this topic!! ❤️
Watched the film last night - was so shocked to see your title but you immediately sell the take so well - I'd never have drawn the thematic connections between this and Her, but it feels so obvious once pointed out.
This is a fantastic analysis and definitely helps elevate the quality of thought around the material.
This reminds me of all the energy I spent trying to convince people that Jennifer's Body was about America's reaction to 9/11. Maybe you'll get lucky like me and have a small subset of people begin to popularize this idea a decade from now🤷🏻♀
EDIT: Seems my my comment might not have posted so pasting it in this edit:
I haven't seen the film in years, so bear with me, but I'll do my best to elaborate:
There are a couple direct references to 9/11 that don't necessarily contribute to the allegory, but do help prime that perspective, i.e. Jennifer ordering the red, white, and blue "9/11 Tribute Shooter" at the concert. The concert fire itself is 9/11 in this allegory.
The band uses Jennifer's trauma from having escaped the fire, to opportunistically prey on her for their own benefit. They promise her "safety" when in fact they're only using her to fulfill the deal they made with the devil. This mirrors the way that pre-existing white nationalists used 9/11 to promote their own ideology under the guise of "protecting our freedom."
By extension, Jennifer's assault turning her into a demon represents the radicalization of the American people, and more specifically the enthusiastic advancement of military activity. From this point on, Jennifer is a stand in for the U.S. military.
In an attempt to gain a sense of revenge against her male assailants, she goes on to incite more violence towards whatever vulnerable boys she could find (one mourning the death of his brother, another a social outcast, I forget the others). Her killings accomplish nothing other than self-sustenance. This is reflective of how the US used 9/11 to justify multiple wars and invade Iraq, Iran, and Afghanistan, despite none of the attackers being from those countries. We're shown as an audience that (at least some of) her victims aren't particularly bad, but in her understandable rage (that she herself does not fully comprehend) she demonizes all men, in the same way that many Americans demonized all Arabs.
In an attempt to prevent the ongoing killings that they don't understand the cause of, the school (or maybe town?) puts empty policies into place (TSA) that do nothing but provide a false sense of security while impending everyday life. To this day, many Americans still do not understand that the bulk of the country's suffering (and casualties/injuries) came not from 9/11 itself, but from the subsequent wars.
And then the biggest connection is the way that the townspeople and the broader media discuss the fire. I remember the scenes in Mr. Wroblewski's (J.K. Simmons') class being the most obvious with this. The day after the fire, he says something like "we can't let this damn fire win," while "we can't let the terrorists win" was a phrase thrown around a lot at the time. After he says that, Jennifer irreverently whispers to Needy that the fire already won.
Needy, as the movie's voice of reason, describes the national media as having "a tragedy-boner" surrounding the fire, and says the country talks about the townspeople like "saints," not for their response to the fire, but simply their proximity to it. The vast majority of the country has no first-hand connection to the tragedy, but it's treated as a sensationalist topic of discussion, with ongoing news cycles attempting to mine anything they can out of a straightforward event that's already passed.
The band capitalizes on the tragedy by using it to promote their next album, while saying "The people of [insert town name here] are the real heroes," echoing the increasing empty sentiments and the shift towards white nationalism that we saw in a lot of art at the time, most prominently in country music and action movies. A fan of the band snaps at Needy when she calls the the band crass for only donating 3% of the proceeds from their "benefit single." The fan calls the band "American Heroes" saying "we need need them now more than ever," and Needy points out that, as she saw first-hand, the band didn't actually help save anyone at the fire (a rumor that they had also been gaining popularity from).
I don't have time to rewatch the whole movie, but if you go to 41:06, you'll see the events of these last two paragraphs (Needy discussing the national media in contrast to their actual lives, immediately followed by the classroom confrontation).
Wait can you elaborate please
i NEED you to tell me more,please
How???
I don't know who you are but I love you and your bold movie takes
@laylahassomethingtosay i love this lmao, would love if you shared more
I found it strange that, in the end, Romy's satisfaction is still tied to the image of Samuel and the dog in the hotel room. It's still a bit removed from reality. Of course, sexual satusfaction is always linked to fantasy to some degree, but I found the juxtaposition interesting.
My top 3 videos on RUclips so far, what an amazing research you did there and absolutely riveting explanation! I hope this reach as many people as possible
okay you’re cooking 🧑🍳
I literally love your hair, the color suits you so well and it gives whimsical fairy garden vibes
I'm convinced. I love when movies have multiple meanings, intended or not.
I thought it was just me who noticed all the pee stuff in baby girl 💀 like when they “did the do” 1 second after Samuel was peeing AND on the bathroom floor I was like “girl wtf”
When she first meets him in an intern group meeting the first thing he asks her is about the "robots".
Great video! I also connect your analysis to the shots of Romy getting EMDR therapy throughout the movie. Unlike other forms of therapy, EMDR uses technology to help people access and process trauma. I think we're supposed to assume that it's not giving Romy's character what she needs, which could be a broader discussion about BDSM and it's relation to trauma (for Romy, her upbringing in an cult), and whether sexual urges that we can trace back to trauma are something that needs to be or can be rewired/fixed. Anyway, the EMDR is an example of how Romy is already trying to use technology to access and do something about her psychological programming prior to meeting Samuel. Also, the mechanism of EMDR being light pulses visually ties to the rave scene.
EMDR helps with the dissociation of the flight or fight response activation with a certain memory of the past.
I didn't know that it's done by technology now, it is supposed to be done by a therapist because constant supervision is needed. But i guess that's part of the commentary. EMDR is quite effective for people suffering with PTSD and anyone who actually suffers from sleep problems because during REM sleep, processing of information happens, especially the ones with distant associations. It's definitely more effective than medications but yea, nothing beats the good ol trick of being a part of the community. We can't escape the fact that we're social animals, and for some reason we'd rather go in the direction of being with artificial nonsense instead of working on what we have.
I certainly think there are a lot of, "AI/computational" themes in this movie - like Romy using the EMDR to, try to "psychologically reprogram" herself, and the theory of Samual being hired by her the entire time is like Romy being the user and Samuel being the, "program/AI tool" since Samuel always knows what she needs, and even knew that Jacob was having a panic attack and knew how to calm him down even though they just got into a heated fight....Or perhaps Samuel isn't the, "AI" but rather the "emotional intelligence", the "EI", what AI seemingly cannot do for humans....
@Reya66 EMDR is actually super contested in this way. It is sometimes super ineffective, which makes people speculate the effectiveness is actually placebo. The actual science behind is is largely debunked as well, regarding the whole cessation of the fight or flight response
But EMDR doesn't really use technology. There are resources out there, either to keep clients more comfortable/feeling safe or due to a need to work long distance, but it's generally not the go to you go with. Even with long distance, therapists often rather opt for the butterfly strategy for the client to tap themselves than relying on technology so heavily.
But ultimately the goal is bilateral stimulation that the therapist can control and adjust (speed/length).
I didn't watch the movie, but using technology purely would technically be a misuse of the technique.
@erumrazvi9005 I find it odd that people are seeing Samuel as an AI, as always knowing what she wants, when in the movie there's a scene where he basically says he has no idea how to do this either. Most reviews I've seen so far say that both characters are trying to figure things out, that both of them have their awkward moments. Which is what I liked about the movie.
I keep coming back to this video
this is the kind of big brain analysis im trying to listen to, i might actually watch this film now!
I think it’s just a bad film, and the end is that cold and not making sense just because film tried to make that girlboss moment and happy end
maybe it’s more like subtly trying to make us all accept that we should date AI because someone stands to make money off that. people are viewing relationships as fulfilling needs and the logical conclusion to that is a machine fulfilling our needs is much more reliable than a person. I see that shift a lot more with the mention of the movie HER, like I remember when that movie came out so many people I knew were disgusted by it because they weren’t comfortable enough with what AI even was. now I think that movie would be much more relatable but that’s not necessarily good. we have commodified relationships to the point of asking is this person benefiting me instead of do I love this person and what does love mean to me. we have already abandoned love and objectify people (like Samuel is in babygirl, despite being dom) so it makes sense that someone would decide to make money off that and make dating AI a little more appealing. people used to be a lot more interested in developing their own full fledged philosophies of life (like Bataille) but now people want to ask AI. that is probably an impulse marketed to them so that their actions can be more consistent guaranteeing the steady growth of demand for consumption whether people personally decide they want to participate or not. babygirl in this context then could be a critique that we are all products of objectification and capitalistic manufacturing even the people who are in power or have the ability to explore their own desires. at the end of the day tho, it’s not some fun sci-fi conspiracy its just rando former frat guys who are working as CEOs desperate to make money and short sighted in how they are doing it. sorry for my word vomit comment but fun interesting video thank you !
Really loved this video essay, not just because it’s a topic that interests me, but by the logical and easy-to-follow way it’s laid out. Immediate subscribe!
Thanks for this. The premise was clear but you took it so much further beyond what anyone else seems to be talking about.
this film is so overlooked in its intellectual + emotional value & the motifs, like I was seriously positively surprised bcs everyone only talked abt how hot everything was (like, true obvi, but still)
Omg i havent even seen Her and when i read the description for babygirl i thought of that movie. im so glad im not alone in that
remember the weird bit where they try to find out how many tennis balls will fit into a room?
Had never heard of this movie and already I know a couple of minutes in that I want to see this!
i'm so glad someone also noticed these subtones of ai and robots patterns in human relationships on this one. also, really liked the literature references you mentioned. and also, this is whole different story, but do you guys also get strong autistic vibes from samuel? a really good job, thank you, emma!
Super interesting take and connections made! Wasn't planning on watching Babygirl but maybe now I will
I'm so glad that you brought this up, I picked up on this connection as well! Nice to hear your take. :)
Loved your thoroughness in examining this film. Great nuances in there.
Thank you for this take on BabyGirl. I’m going to watch it in a few hours so I’m glad I’ve seen your take on it. I’ll update after I’ve seen it. Thanks x
drop the update omg
Haven’t seen the movie yet but now I feel like I should! One of my favorite films from last year was also dealing with these themes, it’s called The Beast and I HIGHLY recommend it!
I haven’t finished the video but when you say it’s about AI I instantly thought about like the character AI app and thousands of other apps that have so many users on a threshold over the feeling of a ‘real’ intimate relationship. the videos still going on and it’s getting closer to that conclusion lol. ‘Understand her desires’ yep sounds a lot like those apps.
Nice take! BIG disclaimer: didn't see the movie yet, but listening to your take I had the thought that actually both characters; Romi and Samuel could be AI. Like, that Romi is actually an AI robot to run this company and be the wife of Jacob. But then she realizes that she needs to grow further and discovers that only through interacting with another AI robot she can "develop". It makes sense in this way, that the affair doesn't actually have a consequence for the marriage and that Samuel disappears after having fulfilled the task of updating Romi. Also the way, that Romi doesn't apply the newfound sexual practices with Jacob, but seemingly understands how to "connect" to Jacob again: an AI system doesn't use every method that it knows but only the one that is asked for, which in this case is to be able to connect with Jacob again, subsequently being a "fulfilled" wife. What I found interesting in this regard, is the casting and the portrayal of the characters. In the few film shots that I've seen Nicole Kidman plays Romi in a robotic way, which could also play homage to the fact that she played a woman pretending to be a robot in "The Stepford Wives". In contrast, I find Harris Dickinson's portrayal very humane, like, him being overtly conscious of how cringe it actually is to talk to a grown woman in the way he does.
Indeed, a very interesting take. My mind is firing. xD
But, maybe I should watch the actual movie first.
As soon as Story of The Eye was dropped… chefs kiss.
What a wonderfully unique take
this was such a good analysis!! I felt the movie was too superficial, but your analysis brought so much depth! subscribed :)
thank you for this! i've seen so little refreshing opinions on this film
Explain to me why, despite never having watched any of your videos and 2:50 minutes into this one, I'm ready to die defending this interpretation?
Thank you for this! I left the movie focused on the constant checking of her phone, the robot scenes and the habits of her daily life. Though AI was not the first thing on my mind, I do see your point! Again thank you for the well researched video, I will check out the books you mentioned.
As a German teacher at an American institute for three and a half years (before the “virus lockdown”), I can say that I was quite shocked by the list of drugs that many young high school students were given and by the strange diagnoses. I had the children only during the summer and wished to be their teacher for a longer period of time to teach them freedom, empathy, laziness, joy in people and nature and freedom of expression. The children on drugs were like living robots and I felt so sorry for them. The children from rural areas seemed stronger, healthier and more natural. When the summer was over, I had 21-year-old students from all over the US. I could see the consequences of such drugs. While the healthy students were excited to explore Berlin, techno clubs and other European cities, the unhealthy ones stayed in their room and could not go out and make new friends. Their energy was close to zero and some of them looked like zombies. I have never heard the word “anxiety” so much. They preferred to lean towards their phones during breaks instead of chatting with their colleagues over a cup of coffee. I felt so sorry for them. My students gave me grades after six weeks. The active students who enjoyed the interaction in my classes gave me fantastic grades, whereas the unhealthy students gave average or poor grades, which I did not take personally. It was just a reflection of their own situation, which I cannot change as a language teacher. It brings me to the conclusion that school systems need to go back to nature instead of producing slaves of an economy that anyway intends to replace humanity with robots.
I don't think that this is the film about AI, but this is the film about personal loneliness and misconception of oneself. And AI is one of the ways (not the only way, but one of the most modern and kinda obvious) how to deal with such loneliness and misconception.
not to nitpick (but to nitpick a little). Automation is not AI, intelligent machinery is not necessarily AI. She doesn’t run an AI shipping company. I like the inventiveness of this video but I think the sentiment may be more tech related than AI related.
Its ai look up agenda 2030 automation robotics is going to be run by drum roll ... AI
If we don’t address our collective loneliness and isolation this will be our reality
This single-handedly made me want to watch Babygirl! I was first put off by the weird dynamic the characters seemed to have in the scenes that were available online or in tiktok edits (lol). I loved Secretary so your comparison with it, and the wonderful analysis are definitely going to make me add this movie to my Friday night watch list. New to the channel, but I love your content :)
It is honestly a terrible movie, but it is 100% in the "so bad it's good" category so that makes it better
First of all - FANTASTIC video essay and take 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Second - if you enjoyed babygirl and the general theme you would love the Swedish show (on US Netflix) called Love & Anarchy. You get more realistic character development and complexity!
Loved this video! Also the bibliography sounds really enlightning, i'll check them out. Ty
This take makes so much sense. Romy's husband would have felt similarly betrayed if he'd merely caught her "doing her own research" like at the beginning of the film- esp with the context that he'd never satisfied her. Samuel can be a fantasy or visual representation of the reality of a woman's relationship with her phone, basically (and Harris Dickenson does a lot more for the audience than a phone held in the darkness)
What kind of relationship do you have with your phone?! I mean I know it has a vibrate function, but...
equating consuming porn to engaging in an affair is crazy work. are sex toys now affair partners? lol. actually, i forgot there are people who treat masturbation as betrayals. yikes. i'm getting out of here, this is weird.
i kinda wish more people would talk about how much the work of henrik ibsen is employed very overtly throughout the movie since it kinda works as a combination of both Hedda Gabler and Doll’s House
Very intriguing critique. I remember watching a video that reframed my whole reading on The Shining. You did great work 🌟👌
This was so helpful to watch!! I wonder if you could also use this argument in discussion with the 2025 film Companion...
thank you so much for this beautiful essay! it helped me a lot, also in my personal life
This is such an interesting and well explained interpretation. Thank you 🙏
I love this take!! Really eye-opening and important. Good job :D
Just to over state the obvious, but robots and AI are not the same thing. But yes, AI and robotics both play a role in automation and in her job.
Liked this video 4:49 mins in, this is insane and makes so much sense
I have not seen this movie, but the talk about algorithms and AI is quite interesting and it's something I think about frequently, especially when it comes to dating. It works for who it works for and doesn't for who it doesn't. You're saying Samuel is essentially an algorithm.
Whoa whoa I was just following a different thread about Babygirl that references Story of the Eye and . . . ooooof, a difficult and disturbing read. Thanks for breaking it down, because tbh I could NOT bring myself to read another word of it when I finished lol. Great video, thanks for bringing attention to all these themes!
Thanks for the insightful interpretation❤
dude i found your channel recently and you are so so good at diving into topics!! when u have 1 mil im gonna be like i was there early :)
Omg tysm you’re so sweeeet :’) 🩵🫶
I just watched Baby girl for the second time and found it so interesting I searched RUclips. I am pleasantly surprised I found your intelligent hot take discussion! I have subscribed and look forward to more of your insights.
Thanks for the unique take on this film! I find it increasingly rare to stumble upon media analyses that go beyond examining stale tropes or relegating something to being problematic or not. Keep up the good video-essaying! (Also, thx for the source list - bookmarked three of them) :))
watching this while sipping milk is liberating
Loved this, thank you! I hadn't watched the film yet and I'm glad I'll be watching it with this perspective in mind.
Alright, now I've gotta rethink this film, which I thought was well done but left me unsatisfied.
Intellectual youth is what we need!
Thank you
14:00 brilliant take and I love the comparison to Samantha in her!!
This is my first intro to your work and insights. Subscribing instantly. Well done. Many thanks for your analysis and commentary.
Super interesting idea! 🌟
ai could never recreate this video
This is my first video of yours but I love video essays about film, and would much rather a non-male perspective as I find it more relatable! Thank you for this video and for your really unique take!
Like you, this movie has been on my mind for weeks after seeing it. Recently watched it for the second time. I loved hearing your analyses of it. This is a movie that gets different interpretations with anyone. My friend thought it was about communication and if Romy could communicate well, this whole movie wouldn't have happened. I thought it was about shame and healing (becoming whole again). After she admitted (forcefully) her "inner beast", she was able to heal by being honest, and could later confront that colleague who threatened her at the end of the movie. Also, she was able to enjoy her kink AND look her husband in the eyes. I don't think she did that with Samuel. I think with suppressing or denying these politically incorrect parts about her, she become a robot / zombie herself. Like yin yang, there is a black dot in the white and a white dot in the black. Without dark, light can't exist. And then again, having this kink wasn't the problem, it was her denial and shame. Before this she had no real honest interactions / connections / conversations with anybody around her. Maybe she was partly AI herself ;-) Anyway, great video!
This was such a brilliant analysis! I truly think that whether or not this was the direct messaging the movie wanted to convey, the ails and opportunities of modern society (eg. AI) undoubtedly bled into the film, maybe even sneakily.
Ahh tysm!! 🫰
girl I've just come across your channel and I LOVE IT!! I'm sorry but I'm commenting half way of the video, 'cause I'm so amazed you didn't do much cuts in your editing and how well spoken you're are :3 Dude, if it was me I would have stutter at least 20 times, until saying the right stuff. Anyway, good luck for the future. 🔥🔥
This was interesting! Thanks so much
This helped me not only to gain a new perspective on the film.
This is such an interesting and unique take! You've convinced me
loved this, queen. Good take
This is such an amazing analysis. Thank you for sharing!
Wonderful analysis. This is why people can’t stop thinking about this movie - it’s about our cultural- social moment as well as individual process.
Great video! Would love to go more in depth about the differences between evolving and updating
I swear this movie reminds me of "unfaithful"
this really hits different with all the EOs coming out of the whitehouse
Literally
I had assumed it was an odd arrifact of the time...like how in "Disclosure" there is a bit about what they imagine Virtual Reality tech would be like in the not too distant future.
Saw you post this video went to see it this evening immediately jumped to go finally watch it cause I was worried about spoilers
I did not like this film until I saw your video. This was very well done
as someone who's used ai as a "safe space" for exploring kink and dealing with emotional baggage, this is hitting so damn hard. honestly, you could view the whole film as a metaphor for how some people use pornography. ai is just the easiest target since it's relatively new and it's biggest selling point is the self-insertion aspect.
??? odd
@grimreapershat7953 leave them alone bruh 💀
@hannemanpng they decided to share this info on the internet, they don't have the right to be "left alone" unless they turn off replies.
@rnr45s yo "the right" is such strange phrasing 😭 sure this is a free comment section and everyone has free will, you can say whatever the hell you want! but idk abt you i would rather be kind to someone who's sharing something vulnerable, or at least not go out of my way to make a remark that would make them feel badly about themselves. would y'all be this mannerless face to face
@ yes I would lmao. depends on the setting of the conversation, but I would be concerned for someone turning to fucking AI to have an interaction they should be having with other people. it's not healthy.
i adore this
