Have you ever dreamt of a better version of yourself? THE SUBSTANCE (2024) dir. Coralie Fargeat

one of my favorite parts of “the substance” is how clear the movie makes that the men you’re destroying yourself to impress are so utterly gross and not worth it at all. how it shows already beautiful women tearing themselves apart to reach the standards of males who can’t even be bothered to wash their hands after using the bathroom.

THE SUBSTANCE (2024) dir. Coralie Fargeat + TRIVIA

[goat4brains]

Something something Monstro Elissasue can’t die because she’s in a constant state of regeneration so The Substance Inc has to go and collect this sentient blob of mass that’s in constant pain and take it back to the lab where they stick needles and sedatives in it constantly to create more of the green fluid to sell to more people who may or may not suffer the same fate. We think they’re dead and that Elizabeth broke away to see the stars one more time before dying but no what’s left of her will keep trying to regenerate into what it once was but with no luck. Elizabeth will just continue to regenerate into the blob of guts, teeth and tits and the lab will just inject it with a lab grown stabilizer created from her DNA to keep it going and then another aging starlet grabs her package from the same locker Elizabeth had.

Or at least I think that would have been a better and more bleak ending. Kind of like the ending to Akira more or less.

when kafka said ‘you wouldn’t believe the kind of person I could become if you wanted it’ and when brontë said ‘if you ever looked at me with what I know is in you, I would be your slave’ and when Sartre said ‘if I’ve got to suffer it may as well be at your hands’
