monsterdon replay · Best of The Stepford Wives

@blue no way is that actually how the remake goes lmao that is the worst possible version lmao #monsterdon

@jonny anything is better than the remake where Walter saves Joanna because he Loves Her, Actually and Diz is actually a Stepford *husband* because the whole town was his wife Glenn Close's idea #monsterdon

So many dynamos

@diazona I usually wait until the last minute to find a copy, which is why I often get bad copies.

Aaaaaaand it seems that now that the movie is over, everyone is as creeped out as I remember being, sooooo yep.

#monsterdon

I’ve never seen the 2004 one but I almost kind of want to now, just to compare.

@Victorsigmoid Maybe she thought he could be (partly?) android and impervious to that kind of attack as a result. A magical weapon is required #monsterdon

@ramsey 👍

It takes a bit of poking around to find a good version, but somebody usually posts a good link at some point earlier in the week. Normally I watch the hashtag and download any link people share, then on Sunday I pick whichever one seems to be the best quality.

@nev It would be pretty awesome if the new black family in town was Mr. and Mrs. John Shaft. #monsterdon

I can't help but feel like that movie was an allegory on the whole phenomenon in many neurodivergant people referred to as "masking".

Like... in the end, it's "FIT IN, YOUR LIFE DEPENDS ON IT!"

@jsadow did you actually just say that The Stepford Wives is ruined by its "mockery of suburban wives"

#monsterdon Just occurred to me this movie can also be read as a neurodivergent forced into neurotypical behavior.

Jonathan Sadow

jsadow@c18.masto.host

I think the basic intent of this movie is related to some version of second wave feminism but all the mockery of suburban wives kind of ruins it.

jonny@neuromatch.social

I actually can't tell if they bailed on the parallel stepford line? the criticism probably landed harder on 1970s audiences to just be like "men would rather have robots than actually be in a relationship with a woman" but it is a much less interesting point imo #monsterdon
