What kind of dog is this omg 😭

Stalin was a murderer and committed human rights atrocities?? He and Putin are more alike than not…

Anora is not that good… I don’t understand why people think it’s great. Maybe they haven’t seen great films before?

👀

I can look beyond that, and I do appreciate the acting… but I do fundamentally think this film is a man’s idea of this woman, her sexuality and her personhood, and is very far from actual women, their sexuality and personhood. This is not a critical rep to me.

Btw if you care about Israel and Palestine, as you seem to do, you might be interested in Baker’s questionable follows and interactions on social media

The treatment of Anora’s personhood and her role as a sex worker felt detached in a lot of ways. Some other people wrote about it more in depth ie angelfoodmag.com/romance-labor

Sure, I think this film has a strong male gaze, both in the writing and filming. Compare the treatment of female sexuality in Anora vs The Substabce.. which was much more critical of the sexualization of women. Anora shows a very male understanding of female sexuality imo.

If you have an actual point to make lmk 🙂

I agree lol… people really don’t even have a rudimentary concept of the male gaze… and can’t read just how much this film relished in the subjugation of women. It’s sad. But not expected from America.

Look up the concept of the male gaze and get back to me on that one.

How what

Here’s a different perspective, from an actual sex worker

Here’s one take

Except for the multiple times in the film she is offended for being identified as a sex worker.

Big win for the male gaze!
