i knew the self hate was real when NEITHER one was really gentle or considerate of the other body when it was unconscious for 7 days. they don’t even give each other a blanket or a pillow it was so sad 😭😭
It really represents that self-hatred really well - the hatred from our older selves to the younger through bitterness and no longer being the appeal, and the younger to the older because the older you get you're disposable and not important, you're disgusting.
I saw this three times in the theatre. It’s even better the second time. It was thrilling to see something so unhinged and unafraid to go as extreme as possible…
30:38 I literally asked myself this question after rewatching the movie a second time! I think Elisabeth is the prime example of a celebrity that let fame get in their head at a young age, to the point where they lost all the meaningful connections they had with the people that were closest to them before they became famous! It really puts a lot more depth on why she is the way she is, and is always seeking and craving admiration from her fans because that's all she has left in her life! She has no friends and family who'll love her for who she is, because she pushed them all away! As far as they're considered, the people who know the REAL her know her as a narcissist who only cares about herself! Her beauty and fame plays a big part in gaining that attention and love from people, which is why she's so desperate for it because it's the closest thing she has to receive human affection.
As someone who is very sensitive to sounds, this whole film was an absolute nightmare for me. I felt sick to my stomach the whole way through. However, I think it is absolutely GENIUS in its storytelling. The message is clear and unequivocal and I wish Hollywood would consider horror films for Academy Awards because the director absolutely deserves one for this.
@@HerHollyness I can handle the sounds but I couldn’t handle the visuals. I absolutely hate watching ppl shoot up, get stitched up and be beaten to a pulp. But most importantly, I hate watching people eat without etiquette Ugh 😣
Demi didn't trade her spouse for a younger model. She didn't meet Ashton until three years after she broke up with Bruce. She also dealt with feeling insecure about her age while with Ashton (he would chase younger women). I don't see any hypocrisy on Demi's part.
33:13 If you really wonder why women destroy themselves in order to get prettier is because comments like this. Every time man loudly apreciate youth and beauty, more women wants youth and beauty forever. Simple as that.
1:23:44 "How do you have that much fluid?" Like the rest of her body, the blood was constantly regenerating and making new blood. So as soon as the blood was leaving her body, it made new fluid. Like when her head got smacked off, it grew a new one immediately. There just was no place for the blood to go since her hand was cut off and it kept regenerating and regenerating etc.... Great movie tho lol. Love the reaction. It's such a great party film to show off to friends to see how they react
It was directed by a woman. It is showing how men view women, the male gaze, and the pressure felt when aging. Demi looks stunning in this movie. I wish I looked that good now.
This reaction was hilarious! You guys gained a new sub! Now for the film, it’s one of my favorite releases this year. Pure insanity and beautifully shot! I was cracking up at you saying she looked like something out of resident evil and Lisa Trevor came to my mind instantly. 😂
@@Rash23215 I don't think a Male director would be able to pull it off and carry weight like it does only a female director can do that writing wise and perspective am glad a woman directed it
@@Rash23215 well most people don't think past anything so it's easy to ignore what it takes or catch the little details or what makes something work or carry weight and emotional impact
Maybe instead of reprimanding them educate them. Not everyone's as informed as you, and is going to react the same way as you. Also, what does Trump being President have to do with their reaction?😂
I think most do if you're in the building due to the amount of concrete cell signal can easily drop whereas pagers run off a low band signal which passes through buildings easier.
I viewed it as they are one entity but still have their own individual consciousness & free will. How many of us have done things we know are going to cause problems in our 50's just cause we're in the moment? I'd say everyone of us has.
The last 30 minutes is what makes the whole movie make sense. It’s the inevitable end of Elisabeth’s behavior driven by need for an audience. Elisasue put the blood on the hands of audience literally.
Demi Moore was divorced when she met Ashton through Diddy. Ashton cheated and they divorced. Demi and Bruce remained friends all these years especially now that he has dementia. Tina turner met her younger partner in the 80s, got married in the early 2010s and 'they stayed together' untill the day she died. She had kidney disease and he even donated his kidney before her health further declined. Both women just happen to find love with younger men, that's all. Carrie was a 1976 movie about bullying, supernatural powers (telekinesis) and revenge and the original is the best in my opinion. I think the makers of The Substance did take notes from the bloody prom scene on stage and the chaos that followed.
I don’t gratuitous is a fair word, the gore and excess has purpose. Also dudes, pay attention, the director writer is female and that is very significant
Are you both full of gadgets in your home? I'm laughing hard when both of you see a flashdrive and completely think its from 80s 😂😂😭😭. Companies in my country still use flashdrive for important files and hospitals still use pagers 😅
This is a big year for Demi Moore. Definitely making a comeback. She has this film and she is in a new TV Series created by Taylor Sheridan called Landman that also stars Billy Bob Thornton and Jon Hamm. Landman starts Nov. 17th on Paramount +.
I enjoyed ya’lls reaction a lot!!! You gotta give Montro Elisue props for thuggin it out! LOL It’s of another consciousness from Elisabeth and Sue so that probably explains the determination and not understanding that folks don’t wanna see all dat lol. Sad is that Montro was the only one of them really willing to own up to the original identity/ matrix. I loved this movie. Gross AF though. But beautiful aesthetics, great satire and a poignant commentary of society’s general discard of aging women and the self hate that comes along with it.
damn shed rather live off another body by watching not even a body swap and slowly eat away inside than appreciate and enjoy, Reminds me a bit of the internet 😯 maybe theres another metaphor im missing
A lot of people reading this movie as a drug/plastic surgery metaphor and the another body thing really shows how limiting that read is. Not to mention how the Substance customer service sounds like an internet customer complaint. Whatever the question, the answer is pointing back to them not being technically responsible.
@@Kevin.Costner. there's alot to the movie. The biggest aspects that stuck out to me was obviously insane beauty standards and hurting your body in the long run trying to achieve short term pleasure, mother/daughter relationships (more subtle but Elizabeth litterally "gives birth" to Sue, Sue makes up the lie about having to take care of her mother every other week, the way Sue steals resources from Elizabeth, ect), I've even seen that this is about bipolar (the mania being Sue vs the depression that is Elizabeth)
The way you pronounced the directors name reminded me of that key and Peele sketch where Keegan Michael Key is pronouncing all of the students names wrong lol
Great reaction, the squirming is hilarious. A little research though beforehand is good for a reaction. The Director's a French woman, she has another one called "Revenge". Julia Ducournau's another great one to watch out for (check out "Titane")
Are you guys going to react to more horror/thriller movies? If so, I would like to suggest Fresh (2022) with Sebastian Stan and Daisy Edgar-Jones, Ma (2019) with Octavia Spencer and Nightcrawler (2014) with Jake Gyllenhaal.
Getting ready? do you know what you're getting ready for? It's the last days. Didn't they tell you? Dogs rule the world. And only dogs will be here. Have a good night.
I still don't get how they were both fully-thinking people later, when the two versions of her were fighting to the death. The whole thing with switching between bodies was she was moving her individual consciousness back and forth between them. They can't both simultaneously be conscious! This seems like lazy writing to me. They're disregarding the rules they've established, what little sense this story had. By the way, I just read the synopsis in the notes of this video and I think they're probably describing a totally different movie.
@@BattleAngelFan99 How is it lazy writing? It's surreal, and doesn't give you a definitive answer, but it's obvious that there was one of two implications: either they were ALWAYS two separate people, or they BECAME two separate people. In either case, it's clearly a metaphor for how we abuse ourselves for failing to live up to the impossibly high beauty standards of society.
I watch a lot of reactions with this movie and they think they are different people 😅 and well i think they are not. I think they are one, Sue is part of Elisabeth so its also her but younger, not her younger self but a younger version of herself (2 of them but same kind of mind). Elisabeth loved herself so much (the proof is the huge pic in her wall) til she wasnt because someone pointed out about her age. The scene Sue killing Elisabeth is a metaphor of hating her ownself and doesnt want to be eliminated in the industry (just like Elisabeth taking the substance to bring a version of herself). I think Sue is more evil and mean because she is younger a variation that must be also with Elisabeth on her prime age
I love Horror. I love it so much how to categorize the horror that I love body horror , cosmic horror, psychological horror, religious horror.. all of it all… This movie was perfect, gross, gooey, great animatronics and It also made me angry. It’s a take on what people will do to stay youthful. Botox? BBL? Full body lifts?
Same, the part that he is saying that he will never take it (The Substance) is so repetitive i was like "ok dude you will never take it can you stop?" Lol 😂
5:10 well it doesn’t matter cuz women going to start objecting men and it’s going to flip the script. They already do. But on a bigger scale it will. To rectify this imbalance.
Jenna Ortega runs the established horror, while Kathryn Newton gives us Lisa Frankenstein, Abigal, the Substance. Top two horror princesses battling for #1 spot!

@@treechada8196 what were the differences that you saw?
True, male reactions mostly are lame 😂, its like they didnt understand the whole movie lol
