If it wasn't for their censorship, the world is gonna be hearing much more fucked up stuff than gay couples. I mean, it's not like those are secrets either (the Internet's a thing). But it kinda works for the majority unlike us who can't accept the "harsh" truth. I blame them for our society's conservative perspective.
I read the title and I IMMEDIATELY knew who this biography was going to be about. Mary Anning. She inspired the tongue twister "She sells seashells by the seashore". I read a book about her when I was 15 and it baffles me how such a smart and hardworking woman didn't get the recognition she deserved in discovering those fossils, mostly by herself, and instead others took credit for her hard work. It's nice to see that they made a movie about her though. Update: The book I read was titled "The Fossil Hunter" by Shelley Emling.
@@adrianatdottru She never got married. She dug up fossils all day and sold them to a museum or to tourists to have an income so she could take care of her family.
modern directors making lesbian films like: - 18-19th century historical ✅ - dramatic violins in the trailer ✅ - gloomy seaside scenes ✅ - age gap ✅ - blonde and brunette ✅
Its such a beautiful movie. There is very little dialogue, but the most powerful scenes are silent and motionless. The emotion portrayed by Kate and Saoirse in these moments are incredible: palpable, raw, pure, and soulshattering.
I haven't seen it yet but I get your meaning. I think of The Piano with Holly Hunter. Her character was mute and she won an Oscar for her performance. Many great scenes in that movie. They were gold.
@@edricawebb1578 it's the other way round. The Greek word for uterus is "hystera." The behavioral disturbances in adult women were thought to happen due to a wandering uterus: thus the name of the condition being "hysteria".
it's not a whole lot better now, women's problems are still ignored by doctors and classed as depression or mental illness (which may be the case, but physical female illnesses are common, under-researched and under-diagnosed)
@@shouvikroychoudhury7908 Don't see the "other way round." So the Greeks named the uterus, "hystera." How do you make the connection between the Greeks calling the uterus, "hystera," and so-called medical science blaming hormonal fluctuations on the uterus, to the point of taking the uterus out, because they believed it was the origin of behavioral irregularities? The uterus really has nothing to do with anything... it's just an organ.
Doctors used to manually stimulate Victorian women to alleviate 'female hysteria'. Eventually one of them invented the vibrator because he was tired of doing it so much.
I loved this movie, very much, there were scenes I expected Kate to cry like when her mother passed away and when she separated from Ronan, but she held back the tears, she did not cry dramatically like in many movies. I loved those scenes more. It is so realistic in the sense that there are people who are usually like that. Perfect acting and writing. Overall it was a good movie to watch.
@Janabroderick i think it was just coincidence because the writer and also the director of Ammonite Francis Lee is also a genius base on his previous films. he deserves an Oscar for screenplay if the movie goes well.
Just finished it five minutes ago all because of this comment. Holy shit, that romance is the purest and WARMEST I've seen in pictures for the first time. Everything they felt - love and lust, those stealed glances, coy grins and silent body languages were filled with serene loneliness and longing. The slow burn isn't for everybody's taste, but THAT is how you build a romance through equality on-screen.
@@posztoka there are many historic characters proven to be gay - by their letters, diaries, poems - or speculated to be gay because they were living together like a married couple. but in this case there is no evidence that would imply that Mary Anning might have been gay or that she and Charlotte had a romantic relationship.
There is nothing wrong with the director speculating. It's artistic liberty. She never married (nor is there evidence she ever had a lover) so she could very well have been a lesbian. However, since there is no evidence, a historian does not have that luxury. They have to report the facts as they are.
u are on sad person. clearly those other 2 movies u pointed out as carol 1 and carol 2 haven't done their job cause people like u and so many others still have that little homphobia somewhere even even if u say "im just joking" u can just skip them if u don't like the subject. NOT EVERY MOVIE ABOUT TWO GAY PEOPLE IS THE SAME. we have much more clices on straight love stories tbh. do u also complain for that?
Parsa Shojaei in which of my message does it complain and say about homophobia? I'm simply stating that these theree movies have similar grand theme. And quite contrary to your opinion, the fact that I've watched 2 of them and can't wait for this one (and am wishing that there are more like Call Me by Your Name) actually tells that I'm enjoying the theme.
Yes I think that's probably the case, as that label means what we now call depression. I'd strongly doubt if the film intends to label her gay-ness as "melancholia", as many on this forum seem to think.
@@marinamuller2385 I wasn't aware of that Marina, thank you. Unless it actually says that in the trailer and I missed it, I guess we can only judge from what message the trailer is telling us.
Bruce Smith No it doesn’t say so in the trailer, I read that in a review of someone who has already seen the film. I get that no one in the comment section could have known without reading the review, but I still think they shouldn’t be so quick to judge. The trailer doesn’t give ANY indication what the reason for her depression might be, and still they jump to the conclusion that it’s because she’s gay and unhappy in her marriage. They don’t even stop to consider that there might be deeper reasons for it.
@@marinamuller2385 Yes fair enough. However I doubt if anyone is judging here (I shouldn't have used the word 'judge' in my last comment...that's not what I meant), just assuming there's a causal connection between her depression and suppressed homosexuality, because that's what the trailer strongly implies. Judging and making connections in a story are two different things, and the latter is all most people here are doing (I hope).
I loved this film. It was a great adaptation of Mary's life and I felt I was watching genuine people who loved and desired one another and not just beautiful famous actresses. I was hesitant at first to watch, due to the age difference but it turned out to be a meeting of mutually intelligent and mature minds despite the age difference of almost two decades. Kate Winslet's mature beauty and acting talent was a perfect match with her younger counterparts youthful beauty and acting talent. Their love scenes made me feel desire, love and my heart race with it's realism. They effectively portrayed the wanting of pleasure of all kinds, like wanting to exchange pleasure equally, through being pleasured and providing pleasure to your lover. Definitely buying this on DVD and Blu ray if I can! Thank you for a wonderful film 😊🥰
@@janitajames4137 Yeah, they never end happily. 🙁 We should be used to this by now. I agree about "The world to come". That movie was so somber throughout! Allowing only a few sparks of hope in the second act, the tragic ending leaves us nearly as beaten down as the four main characters we've just watched. All amazing performances by the way, especially Waterston. Abigail felt so real to me. A real woman, not just a fictional character. The whole movie actualy felt really realistic, despite the poetic cinematography that makes each scene almost like a painting. A shame it is not talked about more.
@@albameca4123 i really do hate the way most LGBT+ movies end, but there are a few hopeful ones. Dude! exactly, i can excuse the somber and melancholic feel of the movie, because that's what it must've been like at that time period. Although i can never forgive Tallie's husband, that ending scene hurt me as much as Lexa. I never really took time to appreciate the cinematography because i was so entranced by the soundtrack, my god, it was beautiful.
And saoirse has her childhood girl crush as the love interest (look up her interview I'm the new jack) it's like somewhere in middle she starts talking about it and its priceless xD
@@Arrowflight But in saying that, you could also say that for all we know she could've been gay. I don't know anything about her, so I can't say if I think she was gay or ace or just never married for other reasons, but lesbianism was a pretty good reason not to get married at the time...
Kate Winslet and Saoirse Ronan together??? I'm confessed now filmmakers are actually reading what people have been writing about these two being very similar, and calling Saoirse the young Kate. Wow.
"Hm, 'Portrait de la jeune fille en feu / Portrait of a Lady on Fire' from 2019 was a real blockbuster. Let's make an English version where we just change the little details a little so that this is a guaranteed success and we at the same time don't risk being sued."
Dang... I never thought Kate Winslett and Saoirse Ronan would star together in a very "melancholic 🤭" movie that I already love by just watching the trailer... 2020 is really something all right 😳
@@pjbrown3732 Oh, she would have been pissed. She never got the recognision she deserved while alive, they should at least have given her that now. I'm ok with the romance plotline, and I like to believe it really happened, but it shouldn't have been the main focus of the movie
It's an amazing movie with amazing cast. It's slow pace makes it more interesting and intense. I loved it. 😍These women deserves an oscar for those expressions.
C18 you do know that she had a severe depression and that medicine at that time was severely underdiagnosing women at that time? Please don’t fall for the romantic traps
The scene that I love the most is when Mary Anning's ex lover tells her she finally found the love of her life and, after so many years of repressed feelings, Mary burst into tears. Kate's performance was really mind-blowing in this scene. Overall, the movie is amazing!
Historians do not have the luxury of artistic liberty. They can't just speculate without evidence. We are free to think whatever we want but they have to present the facts.
Ever wonder how we arrived at a point, where remorseless female adultery which does not get any sort of punishment is shown in movies and streaming shows nowadays? It started after 2016 from what I've noticed.
Progress and Peace 1 you don’t really do your name justice with this comment. Do you know how many gay women were (and still are) forced into a (hetero) marriage , just because society dictated it? And you want to see them punished if they do end up finding love and live out their sexuality, just because they are not faithful to a man they DID NOT CHOOSE? Just don’t watch these films, jeez.
i am shook but so excited about this one. also surprised i haven't seen anyone talk about it. i just came across the trailer completely by accident and since i saw saoirse i had to click on it.
