The rabbit that Emma Stone steps on should have got an Oscar

Rating: 3/10 (15 September 2019)

So...wow! Um not sure what to make of this. I'll tell you one thing I know now for sure-I'm so glad I didn't live during those times. Life was so awful back then. The Kings and Queens were mostly immature bratty ignorant spoiled children and they ruled terribly. They were basically told what to do by their advisors (yes it's like that today too BUT besides a few bad apples most of our Presidents have been intelligent individuals who have had education and experience with the military. They had to prove they could lead the US before getting the job whereas back then they just got their positions because of their place in the family gene pool). It's awful how many people lost their lives to the guillotine by a lie or just a temper tantrum thrown by a King or Queen.
I think this movie showed that no matter how you start out in life your station can change and you could find yourself becoming something you wouldn't normally due to the change in circumstances. And it doesn't have to always be negative. If you suddenly become rich you're most likely going to start acting and behaving differently because mindset comes into play. In this case one's station went down while the other one's went up and they both changed their actions accordingly. It must've been so hard to be at the whim of someone else's desires or wants and needs. The poor servants had it the worst! The women were violated sexually or beaten for slights. The men were yelled at by the Kings or Queens just because there was no one else around. What terrible horrible bleak lives they had.
I don't think Olivia Coleman should have won an Oscar for this but then that's usually the case isn't it? Sometimes you can't understand why some people win and others lose. OC is a good actress (even though she's hard to look at on-screen) but she wasn't the main thing here - it was RW and ES's movie.
I don't like RW. She doesn't have much range because she doesn't seem to act in anything but these types of movies-playing scheming baddies-however she did well with her role if only because she's had lots of experience playing these kinds of characters. I'm sure audiences might feel that she did a great job but to her she probably felt like she could do that role in her sleep just because that's what she always does so I'm not sure how much acclaim she should receive for playing the same character in yet another movie.
I liked Emma Stone until I saw this movie-her quirkiness works well in some movies but it was out of place in this. That is just not how a person would act if they'd have been a servant in those times and no one would've been able to do the things that she did and get away with it so it's really hard to get into her acting because you are very aware the whole time that those things wouldn't be happening. Plus it really makes me sad that yet another actress who was naÃ¯ve and innocent at one point has fallen prey to the cesspool that is Hollywood. These actresses start out shunning nudity but through the constant pressure of Hollywood pushing depravity these actresses start to believe that taking their clothes off is "necessary" to the scene and they become obsessed with making sure they go "method" as they know that's a surefire way to get acclaim. Next thing you know they've convinced themselves it was their idea to do nude scenes-that's what happened here-ES was the one begging the director to let her do it. I just kind of lost a little respect for her because I thought that she was smarter than that and I didn't think that she was that desperate since she's already won an Oscar so I'm not really sure I understand what that was all about. It wasn't necessary.
Nicholas Hoult has not impressed me in anything since About A Boy. He was not right for this and didn't do a good job.
Joe Alwyn A.K.A. Taylor Swift's boyfriend-I like him but he added nothing to this. There was no heat between him and ES at the beginning like there should have been before she turned on him. He was forgettable.
This movie was very slow and boring and I knew there was a reason I had hesitations when I would see it in my queue. This isn't the worst thing I've ever seen but I don't get the hype at all. What was up with that last scene?! Was it supposed to convey that ES realized she wasn't the favorite and was bereft because she got what she wanted but then realized she was still miserable? IDK. Also what was up with RW saying she was ready for a change right when the guards were coming to get her husband? It's almost like she knew that was gonna happen and suggested it just to make it seem like it was her idea and not decided for her. And what was the Queen thinking at the end? Was she gonna get rid of ES or keep her or what?
Lastly - the music was so annoying. I just wanted to turn the volume off so I didn't have to keep hearing the same note. Plus I didn't get what the sounds were at the beginning and ending during credits. What was it suppose to be and what was the significance of having no music and just sounds we can't see and don't know what they are?
Don't waste your time with this-it's ridiculous and I don't think anyone would refer to this movie as their "Favourite".
