Breaking Down the Bold Finale: Why Promising Young Woman Nailed It

Hey, fellow film lovers! Promising Young Woman (2020) is one of my all-time favourite movies and for good reason. It discusses important topics about society and femininity.

Let’s dive into the jaw-dropping finale of Promising Young Woman. Buckle up for a chat about film theory and why that ending is a knockout.

Feminist Film Theory: Power to Cassie

In the realm of feminist film theory, Cassie is our unapologetic protagonist. She emerges as an avenging hero, shattering the conventional narrative. The ending? It had to be bold, reflecting Cassie’s relentless pursuit of justice.

Cassie, portrayed with depth by Carey Mulligan, challenges the typical female character arc. The tension and power dynamics unfold in scenes where she confronts her targets.

The ending becomes a powerful statement. It breaks away from traditional gender norms. The ending also offers a fresh perspective on justice in the face of sexual assault.

Genre Deconstruction: Twisty Turmoil

Now, let’s talk about genre deconstruction. Promising Young Woman begins as a dark comedy. Before long, it morphs into a thrilling tragedy. Why? To keep us on our toes. The ending is unconventional because life itself is messy, and so is this story.

The film’s ability to blend dark comedy with thriller and tragedy is intentional. Shaking up genre expectations makes us question our assumptions about justice and morality. The ending isn’t neatly packaged, but a deliberate departure from the expected.

Visual Language: Colors Speak Louder

Have you noticed those dreamy pastel colours during Cassie’s confrontations? These pallets act as eye candy AND visual storytelling. The ending needed to be a spectacle.

The filmmakers used colours to challenge societal perceptions and scream empowerment. Pastel colours in confrontation scenes add layers of irony. The pallet challenges traditional notions of femininity.

This visual language enhances our understanding of the film’s themes. It adds depth to the ending, making it an interplay of satisfaction AND discomfort.

Dialogue as Subtext: The Unsaid Speaks Volumes

Cassie’s exchanges, especially with characters like Ryan, are dripping with subtext. The coffee shop confrontation? It’s a dialogue masterpiece, wrapping up Cassie’s journey with emotional weight.

Film theory teaches us that dialogue isn’t just about words. It’s also a hidden treasure trove of meaning. We can especially focus on lines leading to the film’s climax.

Let’s talk about THAT line in one of the ending scenes, where Cassie shows up as Candy.

Al Monroe: It’s every man’s worst nightmare, getting accused of something like that.

Cassie: Can you guess what every woman’s worst nightmare is?

Now that’s a kicker.

Al Monroe, played by Chris Lowell, reveals a common sentiment among men. He expresses fear at the thought of a woman accusing him of a heinous act.

Cassie’s retort brings the film’s feminist themes to the forefront. It challenges Al and, by extension, the audience.

Men may fear false accusations, but women live with the constant threat of sexual assault. They face the fear of no one believing them or taking them seriously.

Cassie’s response is a stark reminder of the gendered nature of societal fears. Her line put a spotlight on the systemic issues surrounding sexual assault. These types of lines prompt viewers to confront the disparity in societal expectations.

Cassie’s question is a rhetorical challenge, urging the audience to reconsider their ideas. The line encourages the viewers to empathise with the lived experiences of women. This dialogue lingers, forcing viewers to confront uncomfortable truths about sexual assault.

Catharsis and Disquiet: Emotional Rollercoaster

As we approach the finale, that mix of satisfaction and disquiet isn’t accidental. Film theory says it’s purposeful. The ending brings catharsis, a release, but it also nudges us to question more. It’s a rollercoaster designed to make us think.

The emotional impact of the ending is intentional. It prompts us to reflect on our own expectations and biases. The ending pushes us to confront uncomfortable truths about justice and societal expectations.

The film doesn’t spoon-feed us a tidy resolution. Instead, it leaves us with a cocktail of emotions. It sparks conversations long after the credits roll.

A Cinematic Rebellion

In a nutshell, Promising Young Woman chose its ending for a reason. Feminist film theory empowered Cassie. Genre deconstruction kept us guessing. The visual language uses colours to challenge norms. Dialogue spoke volumes.

The ending delivered catharsis and disquiet, leaving us with thoughts to ponder. This film isn’t just a movie. Promising Young Woman is a conversation starter. This film challenges norms and sparks discussions about justice and revenge for women.

That’s why the ending had to be a spectacle. Promising Young Woman shows a cinematic rebellion against the norm. Through feminist film theory, genre deconstruction, visual language, and dialogue analysis, the film crafts an ending as bold as its protagonist.

Transformers Movie Franchise

The Transformers movie series, directed primarily by Michael Bay, consists of seven films that span over a decade. Below is a detailed review of each film along with a clean timeline of the events that take place in the Transformers universe.

1. Transformers (2007):

Synopsis: The first film in the series introduces the war between the Autobots and the Decepticons, two factions of alien robots. Sam Witwicky (Shia LaBeouf) discovers his car, a yellow Chevrolet Camaro named Bumblebee, is an Autobot. He teams up with the Autobots to prevent the Decepticons from acquiring the AllSpark, a powerful artifact.

Review: "Transformers" lays the foundation for the series with its mix of explosive action, humor, and groundbreaking visual effects. It successfully brings the beloved toys and cartoon series to life, appealing to both fans and newcomers. The film's energetic pace, impressive CGI, and charismatic performances by the cast make it an entertaining ride.

2. Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen (2009):

Synopsis: In the sequel, Sam Witwicky and the Autobots face a resurrected Megatron (Hugo Weaving) and a new threat known as The Fallen. Sam discovers ancient symbols that hold the key to a hidden power, and the battle between the Autobots and Decepticons escalates.

Review: "Revenge of the Fallen" amps up the action and introduces new Transformers, but some critics felt it relied too heavily on spectacle and lacked a coherent storyline. Despite mixed reviews, the film still showcases impressive visual effects and continues to explore the mythology of the Transformers universe.

3. Transformers: Dark of the Moon (2011):

Synopsis: The third film reveals a long-hidden Transformer spacecraft on the Moon and a conspiracy involving the U.S. government. Sam, now working for a new love interest (Rosie Huntington-Whiteley), uncovers a plan by the Decepticons to enslave humanity.

Review: "Dark of the Moon" improves upon the second film with a more focused storyline and grand-scale action sequences. The film delves into the history of the Transformers and delivers breathtaking visuals, particularly during the climactic Battle of Chicago. The addition of the villainous Shockwave and the return of fan-favorite characters contribute to an engaging experience.

4. Transformers: Age of Extinction (2014):

Synopsis: "Age of Extinction" takes place several years after the previous film and introduces a new human cast led by Cade Yeager (Mark Wahlberg). The Transformers are now hunted by a government agency, and Cade's discovery of a dormant Optimus Prime sets off a chain of events that involves a new threat and the emergence of the Dinobots.

Review: This film serves as a soft reboot of the series, introducing new characters and a fresh narrative. It explores the ethical implications of human involvement with Transformers technology and features stunning visuals, intense action sequences, and strong performances from the cast. The addition of the Dinobots brings an exciting new element to the franchise.

5. Transformers: The Last Knight (2017):

Synopsis: "The Last Knight" delves into the history of the Transformers on Earth, revealing an ancient connection between them and King Arthur's Knights of the Round Table. Cade Yeager, now a fugitive, joins forces with new allies to stop an impending apocalypse.

Review: The fifth film attempts to expand the mythology of the Transformers but received mixed reviews due to a convoluted plot and overwhelming spectacle. However, it still delivers on visual effects and features notable performances from Mark Wahlberg and Anthony Hopkins. The film's exploration of historical connections adds an intriguing layer to the series.

6. "Transformers: Bumblebee" (2018):

Synopsis: "Bumblebee" serves as a prequel to the Transformers series, set in the 1980s. The film follows Charlie Watson (Hailee Steinfeld), a teenager who discovers and forms a special bond with the Autobot Bumblebee. Together, they navigate their way through thrilling adventures while evading government agents and uncovering the secrets of the Transformers' presence on Earth.

Review: "Bumblebee" breathes new life into the Transformers franchise with its heartfelt storytelling, engaging characters, and a more intimate scale. The film is a delightful mix of action, humor, and emotion, catering to both long-time fans and newcomers. Director Travis Knight delivers a visually stunning and character-driven experience, showcasing impressive CGI effects and a nostalgic '80s atmosphere. Hailee Steinfeld's charismatic performance, combined with the heartwarming connection between Charlie and Bumblebee, makes for a compelling and enjoyable film.

7. "Transformers: Rise of the Beasts" (2022):

Synopsis: "Rise of the Beasts" expands the Transformers universe by incorporating elements from the popular Beast Wars storyline. Set in the 1990s, the film explores a conflict between the Autobots and Decepticons that escalates to involve ancient forces and the emergence of new transforming creatures. Noah (Anthony Ramos) and Elena (Dominique Fishback) become entangled in the battle, joining forces with the Transformers to save Earth from destruction.

Review: "Rise of the Beasts" takes the franchise in an exciting new direction, incorporating the beloved Beast Wars mythology. Director Steven Caple Jr. delivers a visually stunning film with thrilling action sequences and compelling characters. The movie strikes a balance between honoring the established Transformers universe and introducing fresh elements. The voice performances, particularly from Peter Cullen as Optimus Prime, Tony Todd as Megatron, and Ron Perlman as Optimus Primal, add depth and authenticity to the characters. The film's exploration of the Maximals, Predacons, and their conflicts brings a refreshing twist to the series.

I think I am going to watch Blonde, probably sometimes this week. I know there are parts of it I hate (the abortion stuff and the way it handles pregnancy sounds awful), but it still sounds interesting, and I might like part of its perspective.

I’m not sure if I’m going to go see amsterdam given all the david o’russel stuff. I’d feel blah about it especially given critics say its bad.
