The number of people laughing in the theater, during the penultimate scene of The Substance, made me feel like I was in the goddamn twilight zone. Look at what she’s become, she did it all for you. She’s still trying to put on a perfect show so you’ll love her. Her hair is burning off in the curling iron, she can’t put on her earrings, and you’re laughing at her. Where’s your empathy for the monster? Haven’t you ever hated yourself that much? It’s still her. It’s all you. Her despair drags ever deeper and you’re laughing
#godddd yeah#it was just. so fucking heartbreaking and tragic#watching her try to mold herself into that image of beauty and twisting herself into that dress and taping her face on and showing up#only to have everyone start violently attacking her and call her a freak#it was so cathartic when she started spraying blood everywhere and drenching everyone in it#serves them right lol#the substance#analysis
