I’m going live on Instagram tomorrow at 11:30am ET to talk about this week’s climate change episode. And if you don’t, email me and I’ll help you find one.īefore we dive in, a couple of important programming notes: I hope you have some reasons to celebrate today, too. I’m so into this week’s blog topic that it’s almost hard to focus on anything else. I know there are a lot of ways you can spend your time, and I’m really grateful opening this message is one of them. That’s half of my first season under my belt.
I’m writing this email about what will become episode 5 of Thinking Is Cool. Happy Friday and happy Pride and happy summertime and happy everything! Here are some reasons I’m in a particularly celebratory mood: She’s reprehensible, but she’s also incredibly fun to watch on screen, in kind of a twisted way.This email is going to be about the commodification of feminism and the reckoning that’s come for the #girlboss. It’s similar in its dosage of Rosamund Pike craziness, but a bit funnier, more tongue-in-cheek, and a whole lot more satisfying in the end. If you were a fan of “Gone Girl,” definitely give this a view.
GATEKEEP GASLIGHT GIRLBOSS MOVIE
Or if you are looking for a movie that doesn’t seem to know who its bad guy even is. “I Care a Lot” is a great film to watch if you don’t mind rooting for the bad guy. And any of these people, be they good or not-so-good, can just so happen to be women or lesbians. Isn’t it realistic to let characters simply be? In life, some people are good and some people are manipulators. And “I Care a Lot” isn’t about lesbians who exploit the elderly, but rather a system that allows the elderly to be exploited for capitalistic gain. “Gone Girl” isn’t about a horrible woman, but rather, two horrible people who are married. It’s also worth mentioning that Nick, Amy’s husband, was also pretty horrible. Was it progressive to portray a woman as manipulative, crazy, and evil? Gillian Flynn, the author of the novel “Gone Girl,” that the movie was based on said that her motive in making Amy such a horrible person was that women and femininity in the media must often be portrayed as inherently good. Similar questions were posed regarding the movie “Gone Girl,” actually. Was I okay with this lesbian representation, even if the lesbians being portrayed were horrible people? Is that a good representation?
This aspect of her character troubled me a bit. With her angular blunt bob, monochromatic pantsuits, white sneakers, and vape pen, she is strong and fashion-forward. Marla Grayson is just a cooler and less emotional Amy Dunne. Her role in “I Care a Lot” is definitely similar in its deviousness.
Pike earned high accolades for her role as Amy Elliott Dunne, a manipulative mastermind who runs away after staging her own death and framing her husband, Nick (Ben Affleck). And upon seeing other reviewers’ remarks on the acclaimed app, Letterboxd, I decided to view the 2014 David Fincher-directed “Gone Girl,” as well. Pike, however, pulled out all of the stops. Peter Dinklage, in the role of a Russian mobster, is also delightful. The film follows her on her path of exploitation, even as she encounters complications in the form of taking on a ward with ties to the Russian mob. “I Care a Lot” is about Marla Grayson, a con woman who makes her living as a court-appointed guardian to the elderly, who are all deemed medically unable to care for themselves or their assets. This is largely due to Rosamund Pike’s standout lead performance, which earned her a Golden Globe award this year for “Best Performance by an Actress in a Motion Picture – Musical or Comedy.” But it also had a lot to do with fantastic writing on Blakeson’s end, along with a very original premise. 19, it released “I Care a Lot,” written and directed by J Blakeson.Īnd in this reviewer’s opinion, “I Care a Lot” was one of Netflix’s most successful movie ventures to date. In 2021, Netflix is set to release a new film every week. Written By Jordyn Hronec, Editor-in-Chief
