#Alexander Payne did not turn her into a mammy for more important white characters

Not to mention the other Black character, Harry, whose only purpose was to stomp on Bella's naive outlook on the human condition.

And why was he the first man she didn't try to bang? Honestly, he's the best-looking guy in the movie. So why? Hmmm...

I also side-eye that this white male filmmaker was so eager to punish Toinette, for speaking out of turn, she had to suck off the ugliest nastiest-looking man for free. Thankfully it wasn't on camera but eww. Why? Why are the Black characters always in these roles??? No, It's yet another white male filmmaker airing out his biases and fetishes on film like Tarantino, and the industry just uncritically calls it "genius" Meanwhile, my Black ass is rolling my eyes calling it what it is, very typical, and basic for that mess. If the filmmaker uses the other as fodder, they aren't an artist. Period. I had found Yorgos' other movies disturbingly interesting at least, or oddly, intriguing.

Watched Poor Things last night. If Mary Shelley's Frankenstein had been an oral tradition passed along among women and the Grimm Brothers collected and reinterpreted it, it would be Poor Things.
