I saw this at the theatre when it came out, and basically, every time they show her ugly face on screen it breaks immersion. "Why would he date her?" I think I looked up which actually attractive actress bailed at the last minute to made them cast her, but forgot who it was.
@nealorr5086 Maybe it's about what/how she makes him feel about himself instead of just what she looks like, idk.🤷🏻♀️ I think I remember in the film him saying he 'needed her', so I think it was more about his co-dependency and need to be in control more than anything. I agree though. For me, when I watched it, I also just kept seeing June from Handmaid's Tale bc she basically gives the exact same performance.😐
if the person who wrote this Is between 6ft and 6ft2 ,😂 anyone between 6ft and 6ft2 are really caught up on height of people shorter lol there identity is 6ft 😂
I can’t remember the name, but the movie where the deaf lady fights off and (I think) kills a crazy dude who trapped her in a house. She’s a very solid 7 but it is one of those “not super model” woman empowering movies I enjoy for real.
I cant tell if this comment is supposed to be in support of this movie or against it, but having more "girl next door" type actresses who are more plain or average-looking in movies is a good thing, you shouldnt NEED to be drop dead gorgeous in order to have a successful acting career, and elizabeth moss is a very talented actress. Although i think calling her a midwest 4 is harsh, that implies she's kinda ugly which i disagree with, she's just fairly average looking. No hate to shane, but him calling elizabeth moss ugly when she's average looking at worst is a bit ironic considering shane isnt a looker himself, but maybe he's just too used to be surrounded by extremely attractive female celebrities due to his successful comedy career whuch might have warped his perception of "ugly", idk. Of course the same is true for men, you shouldnt need to be drop dead gorgeous to have an acting career as a man either, but I can think of a lot more successful male actors who are more average or homely looking than I can female actresses.
This is like a 5'4" bald guy who has a vaping addiction being relentlessly pursued by Megan Fox who tries with every effort possible to manipulate him back into her arms, where he then escapes and hooks up with Rihanna and saves her by ranting about his Star Wars knowledge. I love how a woman can just watch this and be like "Yeah, that's just like me."
The most unbelievable thing about this movie is that this man invented invisibility technology and used it to make himself invisible instead of Elizabeth Moss.
That is such a cliche anymore. The super handsome and jacked black dude with a vinyl record collection who wears either a skin tight sweater or James Bond-esque tailored suit. He is also the most understanding and laid back yet courageous person ever. Usually with a teenage daughter. That terrible Julia Roberts Netflix movie used it.
He’s a great and reliable friend but the white woman never sleeps with him. Because in the end of the day she’s still attracted to handsome rich white men. But she can use him to make herself feel like a good person.
I lost some girl friends on facebook with my one sentence review of The Invisible Man......."The most unbelievable thing about this movie is that he did all this for Elizabeth Moss???"
Its almost like narcissistic, abusive, manipulative sociopaths can sometimes have bizarre motives. Seriously, it would be kind of hard for him to be as abusive and controlling as he was if she was an 11/10 super model with her own billion dollar corporation and several PhDs. The whole point of him being a narcissist is that he enjoys feeling a sense of superiority to other people (e.g: being richer, smarter, more attractive, etc)
@@josefstalin9678or its almost like the movie is a completely unrealistic wish fulfillment fantasy for the average liberal white woman with a persecution complex lol
Most women are more attractive than Elizabeth Moss by a little bit. If you say she’s ugly, then the average woman is mid. They don’t like that. They want Elizabeth Moss to be hot so that they’re supermodels.
@@Balloonbotidk but if u were to believe twitter everyone on there has 20 mental illnesses and has been abused at some point. And we're talking about a fictional movie.
Inventing invisibility to use on harrassment/annoyance means it was written by a woman - the rape was added later to raise the stakes after someone in production pointed out how stupid that is and how this was actually a comedy in original form
True, ask a majority of men what they’d use an invisibility suit for, and they’d say: Bank robbery, political intrigue, and world domination, not harassing an aggressively average 37 year old
I dont understand how you're missing the point of the movie this bad. The writer is not implying that if invisibility was invented, most people would use it to harass others, this movie is clearly meant to be a psychological horror / thriller about being stalked by an abusive ex. Abusive people who stalk their exes exist, the invisibility aspect is just a storytelling / narrative device to convey the fear and suspense of actually being stalked. And if invisibility WAS invented in the real world, you're absolutely lying to yourself if you dont think bad-intentioned people would use it to their advantage to commit crimes, stalkers would definitely use invisibility tech if they had access to it. You're also just making random assumptions about the plot by claiming that the r*pe must have been added as an afterthought, lol what? It makes complete sense for it to be a part of the plot as stalking typically leads to worse crimes being comitted, its very rare for an ex to just stalk you and it lead to nothing further. And even if you took the r*pe out this movie, I disagree that movie would feel like a comedy, it just seems you would view it as comedic because you dont find the premise of being stalked by an unseen person to be scary. Which is fine, but that comes down to personal taste in horror / thriller and isnt the fault of the writer. "inventing invisibility to use of harassment means it was written by a woman", first of all, I have have no idea where you got "annoyance" from, did you watch the movie? The main character wasnt just annoyed, she was living in fear. Secondly, you're criticising the movie for being about a woman being harassed / stalked and assume that it must be written by a woman due to its plot, but all that says is that women find the idea of being stalked / harassed an interesting premise for a horror / thriller movie. How is that a bad thing?
@@jamesa4793 Its very telling that you saw a movie about an abusive guy stalking his ex and interpreted it as a personal attack against men as a whole, thinking the antagonist of the movie is supposed to be reflective of men in general or something. Nobody is saying that most men would use an invisibility suit to harrass women, this movie is supposed to be a horror / thriller about being stalked by an abusive ex and the invisibility suit is clearly just a storytelling / narrative device used to represent the paranoia and anxiety of being stalked. Abusive people who stalk their exes exist in the real world, and you yourself admit that most people would probably use an invisibility suit for crime if they had access to it, so obviously if an abusive person who held a lot of anger and resentment towards their ex had access to an invisibility suit, they would probably use it to stalk, harrass and torment their ex. It honestly just seems that your problem with this movie is just the fact that the plot revolves around a woman being stalked by her ex. Also, the fact that you felt the need to point out that the actress is an average looking 37 year old is also very telling. If it was a very conventionally attractive 20-something actress would that make the movie better? Plenty of average looking people get abused, harrassed and stalked, stalking victims dont all look 10/10 supermodels and its wierd to imply that a movie about a woman being stalked and harassed is unrealistic because the actress isnt pretty or young enough. Her looks arent relevant to the plot, elizabeth olsen was casted because she's a talented actress. Theres nothing wrong with actors / actresses being average and plain looking, you shouldnt need to be drop dead gorgeous in order to have a successful acting career and it would be dumb to imply elizabeth moss shouldnt have gotten this role because she's too ordinary looking. People are just so used to only seeing drop dead gorgeous actresses on their screen that seeing an average looking actress makes them criticise the movie, which is pretty sad.
Elizabeth Moss - Literally every character she plays is a essentially a women rebelling against oppressive men. Ex. Mad Men, A Handmaids Tale, this movie.
What makes me point blank refuse to watch this movie is the original Invisible Man, the novel by H.G Wells is about a man who was shunned by society for being albino and is driven insane by his own creation. He turned himself invisible and couldn't reverse the process which drove him to the brink and exacerbated his violent tendencies where this version just boils Griffin down to 'lol typical abusive man' The fact the invisibility is just a suit is even more annoying because if he can just wear a suit and become invisible then he's not an invisible man, he's a man who can turn invisible. If you want a good adaptation of The Invisible Man just watch Hollowman. Between the Guy Pearce version of The Time Machine, Tom Cruises' War of the Worlds and this mess why can't we just leave Wells' books alone.
@@dboot8886 I’m asking cause I genuinely don’t understand. What was the movies point, I just saw it as an invisible man movie this is just the modern take on the concept.
Thought almost the exact same thing when I watched it, the perfect movie to summarise white feminism of the late 2010s - Perfect victim (she's a victim, did you notice she's a victim?) - White husband bad - Plot is basically walking around, having dinner and lunch and complaining - Black dude hot and available, jacked and perfect and she's clearly about to make a move on him - Get to help black family (white saviour) - Man obsessed with her, despite being extremely average and pretty old - Institutions think she's crazy, whole world gaslights her but she remains STRONG and BOLD. - Gets perfect revenge by putting on the SUIT of a MAN - Now powerful victim, victim with power People are going to look back at the movies created between 2015 and 2025 and wonder at what on earth we were smoking.
People looking back are going to see this as another female fantasy. Many have been made before that have been forgotten by history. Nobody cares about women’s fantasies. They’re lame as shit.
It will be worse than that. A lot worse. Virtually all the embarrassingly politicised leftist hogwash “art” of this ugly, ugly, ugly era will be largely forgotten because it’s just so bloody horrific and bad. It’s so depthless it will be embarrassing. Barely a footnote in history.
It’s so true. Nobody is gonna fight that hard for Maggie G. Sorry lady. He’s a billionaire that dates European models on a regular basis. Nobody is taking sloppy seconds Maggie in a knife fight w the Joker.
He should just be in the background knocking shit over throughout most of the movie. The movie's plot should be that somebody is stalking the hot female lead. The movie implies heavily its the invisible man stalking her, but at some point they catch him and it turns out he's actually stalking her ugly female friend. When they pull his mask off its a quick camo of some hot male actor/underwear model
@@NoFluinvisible man can’t see properly either because the suit is pressed against his face too much or they hear raspy breathing because it’s choking him
I didn’t understand how a man as furious and obsessed with his woman could have the time to invent the suit. Clearly it’s advanced, precision tech but all we know about the guy is he basically paces around checking up on the woman. He was so pissed off constantly, he’d just never get anything done. He’d be in a padded cell, he wouldn’t be able to interact with employees or run a company. He’s as angry as I was when I was 14, it’s stupid.
Here's what I hated the most about this movie, it starts at the obsessed stage. At no point is it ever explained; how a mid grade architect met a tech bro billionaire, why is he so obsessed with what I would generously call an average woman, why does he need an invisible man suit to do stuff stalkers already can do without it, if he's just concerned with having a child, why her specifically? The movie acts like a gym thot who thinks every man is leering at them but in reality no one is lol
Part of it Id say is about power. If he’s above her (out of her league, richer) then he holds the power in the relationship, and some people really like that. Also the point of him going invisible I would say is more metaphorical than anything. Kind of like the lasting trauma an abusive relationship gives. This doesn’t mean you have to like the movie but I’d hope that helps explain some of it
@@goofygoober7617 he is a jacked billionaire tech bro chad who invented invisibility and successfully faked his death, he is out of 99.9% of every woman in the worlds league lol, unless he hooks up with Jeff Bezo's ex wife, he will always have the power lol. Also by that same definition with his money and power, he could very easily find a 304 who would 100% agree to his conditions lol, there are literally oodles of chicks who are down for the christian grey treatment lol.

I disagree, its literally a story about abuse and the fear of being stalked by abusive ex, I dont understand why so many guys think this movie is portrayed like a fantasy when its clearly a horror / thriller movie intended to cause fear. I think the only reason guys are saying that is because its about an average looking woman who's ex is an extremely rich guy, but thats not supposed to be a "fantasy" in the context of this movie. It makes sense that her ex is a rich tech ceo if he's able to get access to an invisible suit, the writer of the story clearly didnt want to include supernatural / fantasy elements in the story and wanted it to be somewhat grounded in reality, so the only way someone could hypothetically turn themselves invisible is due to revolutionary technology. Also the added fear of the person stalking you having unlimited money and resources definitely adds to the fear, wealthy abusive people are usually able to use their wealth and connections to cover up their actions. I know its just a joke and its not that serious, but people like yoursef seem to think that theres an element of truth to this joke which I really disagree with, I think yall are just heavily misinterpreting the movie because people are not used to seeing a more average / plain looking actress on screen. If the main character was more conventionally attractive I doubt people would be making this point.
@@FirstnameLastname-zq8oy Lmaoooo you’re hilarious for taking the TRUE JOKE that serious and you’re not understanding what he’s saying. It’s not a fantasy and hilarious to guys because it’s a tech ceo doing this or whatever, it’s hilarious and a fantasy because HES DOING IT TO HER OF ALL PEOPLE. I forget that actresses name and I’m familiar with her work so I completely understand WHY she was casted in the film because of her acting and marketability. BUT OMG if you think for a second that the BILLIONAIRE TECH GURU would go to these lengths to stalk, control, and abuse HER, then yea you’re playing into this women fantasy that men care SOOO MUCH. Idk how to break it to you, BUT SHES NOT DATING A BILLIONAIRE IN THE FIRST PLACE, I don’t have the time to explain why, she just isn’t and I’m pretty sure you can infer why. Also even if she was conventionally attractive, HES A BILLIONAIRE LMAOOO, he can literally go anywhere and theoretically pull any woman he wants, plus he’s not even ugly like Jeff Bezos, he’s a normal looking guy with a normal frame. Also when you look at the screenplay, writing, and just the way the characters interacted with her specifically and how she’s portrayed to feel throughout the movie. It is so obvious who this movie is appealing to and that’s middle aged, white women, that’s the only way, because the movie literally doesn’t make sense any other way. Like I also hate when people take jokes and actually believe them to be true but this has to be one of the truest jokes I’ve ever heard Shane write. Like everything he’s saying is on point, like especially the black cop being insanely jacked for no reason lmaooo. I’m willing to bet that his interpretation is most men’s reaction to this movie. Or any movie where the female protagonist is made to look crazy, it plays into this fantasy that crazy women don’t indeed be looking crazy. Still doesn’t mean they’re aren’t rich abusive men out there, Diddy just got caught for that but look who he was doing it to. Look at her and then compare it to the movie, THATS THE DIFFERENCE.
I"ve seen multiple movies where Elisabeth Moss is described as "beautiful" within the movie. I"m starting to wonder if it's in her contract to boost her self-esteem.
These are movies in which men are shown to be almost all crapweasels. Weak, evil, craven, greedy. And the women are the heroes. Girl bosses. And as we know ALL girl bosses are stunning and brave.
Like I wouldn't call her ugly but she looks like she hasn't bathed or slept in a week in every movie and show I have seen her in, Yet she is usually treated as beautiful and put together
For movies that are marketed towards women, it's very important that they don't cast a woman who is "too attractive." Women don't want to go to the movies to feel self-conscious.
lol what??? The woman in this movie WAS the victim, the main character of the movie was not a narcissist in any way. I have no idea how you watched this movie and left with the conclusion that the protagonist was at fault.
@@FirstnameLastname-zq8oy lol. I didn’t say any of that. I think you misunderstood. I didn’t say that the main character was not a victim. I said that this is a movie that narcissists watch when they want to feel like the victim. It’s a response to the comments made by the person in the video. Did you even watch the video? Or did you just scroll thru the comment to find something offensive?
I want to see a cut of the invisible man where he's not invisible and just scurrying around quietly with like his green screen suit and ruining her day. Like an asshole mime that just wont go away.
Dude, well said. I dont comment on stuff very often but I had to reply to this because it resonated with me and made so much sense. My first gf I dated for a few years was such a professional victim it was insane. She told me all of her ex bfs were abusive and one of them raped her, and I believed all that for YEARS until we broke up and she started telling people I was abusive and I raped her... it was really shocking to find out she had been saying that, and not only that, then I started questioning all this shit she had me believe for a long time and spent sleepless nights stressing over wanting to hurt these people... then I get a text from her new bf one day saying "if i ever see you, your dead!" Kind of thing. The exact same thing I would have said before. That was how I found out about what she had been saying... That was over 10 years ago but its even worse now! People with this bullshit victim mentality are taking over the planet.
Isn't the HG wells story about self imposed isolation & discrimination etc etc? It touches on some deeper themes. This is literally just every woman describing her ex lmao
You should watch The Invisible Man (1933) if you haven’t seen it yet. Classic 30s mad scientist/monster movie with amazing special effects for the time and fantastic dialogue and characters.
@@RogerioSilva-bq7heit’s hard to ignore the fact that Elizabeth Moss plays the exact same kind of character in both movies that deal with more or less the same kinds of broader themes.
It's literally just Me Too fan fiction. Like they don't ever really confirm that the guy did anything other than the first scene with the car. The message of the movie is basically "He's totally evil guys, trust me"
Tbh he was just goofing around with her pulling on her blanket and shit, didn’t really do anything wrong and the car window he smashed was probably his own car since he’s the billionaire.
@@eiavops4576 That was the protagonist's sister's car, not his own. Even IF it was his car, smashing your own property because someone is desperately trying to escape you is not a good look.
It’s the definitive movie of its time. Anyone who sees it in 10 years time will wonder what the fuck is going on - or else think it’s all a trick and the girl’s really the bad guy.
I’m afraid this is just the beginning. Middle class millennial white women are truly spiraling, and the majority of them will be single, childless, dog owning, burned out mid level managers in ten years. There will be enough content for Shane to deconstruct. Men aren’t doing any better, as we can already see.
This movie is like the feminist post modern horror version of Verbalese's Hideaway AMV. The lustful one depicting themselves as a victim of lust hoping to seem LESS arrogant and creepy.
This movie could have been a box office smash. The idea of an unhinged ex faking his death and fucking small petty things in your life but you cant tell anyone because they'd think you were crazy and you slowly start to wonder if you are going crazy is one of the funniest premises I've ever heard for a movie.
Y'all shallow as hell, wow. I was never crazy about the movie, but I am kind of appalled y'all jump right to "woman ugly! Me no like see ugly woman on screen! 🦍"
In this film about impossible future tech the hardest thing to believe is the main actress . This chick is an Omaha 5 and the film treats her like an LA 10.
Bro, it's mean to say, but I know ladies who aren't models who got assaulted by random men. Shit happens in real life all the time. The attack doesn't give a shit how they look.
@@Lvidtoboggan Is that what she tells you before she friend zones you and goes for a guy 4 points above her in looks and then comes back crying about how she got ONS’d again?
Rating how attractive human beings are on a scale of 1-10 is not only dehumanizing but also stupid and nonsensical. There are a variety of variables in play when it comes to physical attraction and there is no objective metric for it.
@@testtube173 for me personally the reality doesnt match the claim the bro's are making, that he is comedy jesus. i like him, he seems like a great bloke, he is funny. but he is no Norm Macdonald. he isnt on mt rushmore yet.
Man, if I was a billionaire and had an invisibility suit, there's no way I would be wasting my time "gaslighting" my ex-girlfriend. I'd either be doing some superspy stuff or buying a yacht with a dozen new girlfriends.
I mean i can see myself fucking with friends or coworkers into thinking they're in a haunted house/building, but realistically why would a billionare want anything to do with a middle age YA novel self insert? Especially when he could get the next best thing by stepping 40+ feet in any direction?
I mean, the guy's clearly crazy - I don't think we're supposed to see him as making a "logical" decision when all he's obsessed about is having power over this one person.
@franzsanders9573 Yeah, but they never tell you why it had to be specifically her because if it's about power over someone, he was a billionaire. It wouldn't be hard.
@@mongooseunleashed From what the film says, they just previously got into a relationship naturally from being co-workers or something like that. Additionally, the movie makes it obvious that he's a petty, narcissistic sociopath and psycho, and thus it "has" to be Cecelia to be his object of obsession b/c he's outraged about her managing to get away from him in the first place - He doesn't care about the fact that if he really wanted to, he could buy a bunch of escorts or something like that after she left him; What matters to him is that Cecelia "showed him up" by getting away from him in the first place. Humans are fundamentally emotion-driven animals, especially assholes like Adrien.
@@treygilman6053 Id say that the case for movies with lower scores, like the original mortal kombat movie, but if this movie is liked by the vast majority of people who saw it then maybe people who dont like it need to accept that theyre in the minority and that it just didnt click with them
she really is the hardest woman to look at. i could not watch handmaids tale because of it. also in the book she’s supposed to be good looking and her owners are old and not that attractive and yet they are way hotter and young in the show. casting ugly people is a terrible trend rn.
I remember taking a girl to this and at the end she told me how her ex was EXACTLY like that. She was dead serious and i had to bite my tongue so hard not to burst out laughing
She might've been talking about some of the more subtle shit, like him sabotaging her job interview and sending fake emails under her name to make her family keep their distance from her. Tbh, I don't see why that's not believable at all.
@@franzsanders9573because women constantly lie and make shit up about their ex boyfriends because they love sympathy and being viewed as a victim. Especially if they’re white. When they’re together he’s the most amazing thing she’s ever been with. When they split, he’s a violent abusive narcissist. And of course, the woman never ever did anything wrong in her entire life.
My headcanon for this film is the woman in this movie is the actual killer and she's just insane and thinks this guy is obsessed with her when in fact she was obsessed with him and fabricated this entire story. And then at the end she just murders him and comes up with this fantastic story of this guy being an invisible man to stalk her. And she used the settlement money to make a semi-passable invisibility suit off designs he had for a military project to use as an excuse for her murder.
'Refused to move out'. He literally was doing everything in his power to ensure she could not leave. He had security systems and a dog and monitors to make sure she couldn't leave. She literally had to drug him just to make sure she could leave safely.
I'm not a Shane Gillis fan, but he explained this absolute catastrophe of a movie very well. I bought this on early release with the highest resolution possible, & the whole time I couldn't stop thinking how stupid it was.
No suspension of disbelief will make me accept a billionaire doctor settled for a pennsyltucky 5. And was obsessed over her enough to not only kill 7 people but involve his brother to also kill multiple officers in a hospital. They didn’t have any mental connection and she has nothing to offer the guy. I also hate that the point of it was a suit. Completely missed the mark on what this “monster” movie is about.
I commented this on the original video but Shane is unintentionally charitable towards the film at 5:57 because she’s actually going to fashion school lol
That chick from Mad Men has a weirdly specific typecast as the lead in these odd, vaguely feminist (but in the most shallow way possible) sci-fi/fantasy productions for the basic white woman audience
It really is. I couldn’t have agreed more when this ep came out. A 6 white woman has an attractive multi billionaire husband that’s obsessively passionate for her
This movie already existed tho, it's called Hollow Man (2000) starring Kevin Bacon. So on top of everything else, the film isn't even an original concept
@@roriksteader Sure, there is a book called Invisible Man by H.G. Wells written in 1897, except it shares precisely nothing in common with either of these films, other than the name and basic premise of ... you guessed it ... an invisible man. But here's that acknowledgement you wanted, I guess?
Not exactly an accurate analysis of the events of the movie. He didn't rape her, she was pregnant from before she left him, she just didn't know it then. And it's never definitively proven that it was Adrian as opposed to his brother that actually did everything. It's hinted that the brother was framing him for everything because the brother was secretly in love with her the whole time. Worse yet, at the end she just straight up murders Adrian with no evidence that he was guilty and no trial. As for the suit, the indications are that he was developing the technology for the military, not for his own purposes. It's still definitely a fantasy for women, but not quite in the same way. In fact I'd say it's worse because she had two dudes chasing after her when she looked as crap as she did, and they were both rich, and truthfully, I think she was secretly happy that her sister was murdered because she didn't really like her at all.
@@MylesKillis The problem with that thought is brothers often sound a lot alike, and if his brother was framing him, he would alter his manner of speaking to more closely match his brother.
I think the real plot twist should've been that the Invisible Man wasn't actually abusive. The chick made up all of that stuff and was only into him for his money. She was planning on killing him and then nabbing herself a bbc so IM pretended to be dead and used the super-suit to get back at her. That would've been mind-blowing.
