Just got done watching this movie with my white girlfriend... it had me feeling just a little bit paranoid about our relationship!  I really liked how it took time for me to unpack the whole thing the realization that the granddad never getting over his Olympic loss was what started the whole scheme blew my mind. Also the subtle touch of the brain swapped dudes ear tattoo, when I noticed it I assumed it was some kind of brand since it was the roman numeral for three assume that was partly intentional, because at that point I was firmly in the "they're sex slaves!" camp. I never trusted the girlfriend, because I figured there was no believable way she wasn't in on it. Ironically, I only thought she might have been brainwashed when she was scrambling to find the keys. Until then I had assumed she was a honeypot. William's acting skills are loving good!

MisterBibs posted:I love the word choices Grandpa Brainchanger uses during the Welcome To Brain Scooping video. The thing that you bring to the table are the physical gifts (as in nothing you actually earned) you have, what we bring to the table is determination (specifically, the drive to earn things). It's a line as racist as it is one of ignorant privilege: if I succeeded it's because of something I did, if you succeeded it was because of luck or something you were born with. Can someone please try to explain to me the cult-like talk of being "gods trapped in cocoons"? I get the symbolic idea of putting a perfect mind in a perfect body, but the way the grandfather was saying things like "our order.. our determination... BEHOLD THE COAGULA!" implied to me that there was a big mystic conspiracy. However it's never really brought up again, and the brain transfer is treated as a business transaction, not a religious apotheosis. Was it all fluffy prose, or am I missing something here?
