Goddamn it there is no hope for this country. -All the good men are dead. -Don’t die a virgin. -Kindness never pays off. Where is the Hays Code? Where?!

Psychotic breakdowns and psychosis can be explained without glorifying misogyny…thanks for inspiring a generation of stockbrokers to murder and rape women, Mary Harron, Guinevere Turner, Bret Easton Ellis, Edward R. Pressman, Chris Hanley, Christian Halsey and Solomon. In 2025, the film’s interpretation of artistic value and expression is as it says: meaningless, AND influenced the degradation of American women. And you ask why am I , a successful man with wealth in the United States still single? If these are your values hidden or known, you’ve been isolated in your own delusional sense of reality for the safety of others. This is no masterpiece, Christian Bale, that, was tragedy. Good luck buying your way out of it.

This “fussiness” or the anxiety of southern women and their daughters in law and relatives to “fuss” over decor, dinners and other social engagements lives on, at least during my observations in the 1990s and 2000s. I have never understood why. The solution of finding a solution (gentleman caller) unto the issue of marriage is met with yet another “problem” about how he should be received by the household: this problem , solved, then, introduced by another problem of dinner, is the very irritation of the time period and subculture. There is never a soothing (solution) of this anxiety for the southern “fuss.” If you ever do have an issue with an encounter of these types, be armed with a method to keep them busy using a distraction, or else you will be the subject picked apart in appearance, personality, family background, career or else anything. My personal favorite tactic is to make use of a giant lie to cocoon my inner self away from the front lines. Left field nonsensical retort also works. Feels like an onslaught of a bad critique from the NYT with a southern accent, but it’s ENDLESS. Good job Tennessee Williams, southern fickleness, and from me: how to escape the verbal abuse grinding of very finicky people

Speaking from a Mississippi native, this is completely accurate of the Louisiana “backwoods” culture: violence, rape, and silence culture of it all. They never take accountability for their drinking, gambling, sexual abuse, family abuse and other vices. This is a well hidden secret of the southern culture French descendants (most are not well educated and lack basic human rights understandings.) misogyny is rampant within the culture and adultery. I vividly recall seeing the pornography manuals “playboys” in my second cousins’ grandparents home in the bathrooms: sexual arousal for men and servitude of their women was actively promoted under the now banned flag of Mississippi which is why you’ll notice a lack of contraceptives and family planning in their grocery stores and highly underreported rape cases which are probably also never reported. It’s an awfully disgusting ignorant place and I’ll be the first to state that until those of ignorance die off - I won’t be returning until a better class of people come into power. Did I mention that Louisiana’s road kill when I lived there was a drunk elderly man in the middle of the street? Geez. Slow down. And watch for your fellow man and woman? Most men aren’t well educated in the southern culture: they know guns ammo and hunting grounds and typically seek out much younger girls but education isn’t usually a top priority which is a bit like seeing cavemen. Forewarned. And never travel solo.

Did not complete. Errr…reminds me of the films my parents watched while I was eight years old (same sinking gross feeling of debauchery) By the way the neurochemical prescriptions have a better comatose effect for violent male behavior. SOLUTION I will say that the film captures the descent into American nihilism and really really bad solutions…so it’s pathetically accurate. I’ll just say it: it’s not a good cultural look for African Americans, especially since I’ve met so many nurses attorneys and educational leaders …professionals in real life who are also African Americans. But I think the film is isolated from the wider achievements of real African Americans and does not reflect those whom i have seen in their advancements from of a previously disenfranchised peoples. Poor solutions and not representative. Don’t worry any “white hillbilly” film is equally yuck.

We want to escape the ordinary phrases that societal members throw into our minds during our personal moment of demise-hide in the mountains where I can hear only the wind and my thoughts before I die. Very brave, also escaping the rounds of medicine and beeping machinery to keep you comfort when loved ones can see you only two hours a night. It isn’t easy to watch a man die. A man who chose not to succumb to being watched? I suppose has his reasons. Wanted to die his way, not another’s way on his path to death. But surburbia was the better film today circa 1983 punks

A note on the actor representing an artist who is assembling her “emotional baggage through forced traumas” using real suitcases I can see how it’s: Like a f* upped Polly pocket suitcase of the roles women are forced to play throughout their lives and struggle to escape from each imprisonment. I have one physical suitcase personally….and unfortunately I carry it with me always because this is its weight. If the author wrote of this scene in her novel, it is an excellently established motif for a nomadic trauma-ridden life and the symbols that person hopes to remind herself after she has healed from the pain others caused her during those times.

As much as I despise a good nuddy pic (some poor kid’s parents walked out half way through realizing that Emma Stone is not family sweetheart movie star ahem Julia roberts), the film was an accurate realization of the absurdity of the different types of men: infantile, brute, civilized and her choice to learn all three. The film seems to skip any real portrayal of actual women of medicine in favor of representing a woman ready to pick up unofficially in a profession although I have heard in modernity of persons not yet academically trained being able to practice under the licensed professional - yikes. The pets make sense- useless creatures we keep around for our amusements. The psychosexual phases of the young are accurate and I’m pleased that a grown woman took this on. But I would recommend for Emma Stone to move past comedic vulgarity and challenge herself into a formal cinematic representation before her image crystallizes into one of a sexual fool caught on film.
