I saw this movie and I don't think she was meant to be poor, she was supposed to be a member of the working class compared to everyone else wasn't working class. She's a high end escort on an island retreat with the most famous chef in the world, I somehow don't think she charges $40 for some dome. The head chef is also clearly not a poor person, but is still working class. That distinction was kind of the entire point of the movie

Anna Taylor-Joy is weird.
She's absolutely magnetic on camera, but I don't know if she's actually that attractive in the real world, or if it's just that she looks great on camera.
Reminds me of how (IRC) some Hollywood insiders call actors Lollipop people. Huge head, big eyes, tiny body. Looks great on film, face really fills up the frame, you can see their expressions better, relatively small body looks normal sized.
It's like the Simpsons joke where they go to a film set, and someone explains that cows don't look like cows on film, so they use horses.
Steven Colbert said in a recent interview with Taylor Tomlinson that she should be prepared that some of the most beautiful people on Earth look like lizards in real life because that's just how filming works. So you might be on to something

I've never heard that before, but it makes sense.
Having a unique face (as long as it's not repulsive) is more important than having a pretty but forgettable face in movies.
why? did you see it coming?
Coming up with titles is difficult. I post a lot in me_irl because I can't come up with a creative title.
She's one of a few people in Hollywood that, come one, we all look at them and know that's not a human. That's an alien. But its an attractive alien who also is talented so we all just kind of look the other way.
Like Benedict Cumberbatch?
When Benedryl Cabbagepatch is trying to sound American he ends up sounding like a German person playing a British actor doing an American accent. I like him as an actor but his accent in Dr Strange is just...off somehow.
Compared to Hugh Laurie or Idris Elba who both do it flawlessly.
I think the problem is his American accent has no definitive region. He hits his A sounds like he's from California and his O sounds like he's from Minnesota, and he's playing a New Yorker. It's very jarring.
We had a batch of Long Island Iced Tea in the fridge and we had the bright idea of mixing it with lemonade and calling it a Long Island Arnold Palmer, and trying to say that phrase is a good way of approximating Crumbleslap's American accent.
Please try to pronounce Bandersnatch Cummerdills correctly next time, it is the man's name after all...
Hahaha He's literally the other main example I bring up whenever I mention this.
Oh, I thought it was spelled Humperdink Thundersnatch
Exhibit A :

We all just have a little Cpt. Kirk in us all.

Definitely born rich.
She's kinda like the female Timothee Chalmette, who despite having talent, is like a soulless, nepo baby, engineered in a lab to be a famous actor. He's so unrelatable and was clearly trained to be an actor from birth.
The perfect actor to play Paul Artreides
Let's play "name one famous person who got famous with absolutely no help." While y'all work on that I'm gonna catch a nap.
Spanish comedian Ignatius Farray. Dude was born into a poor family and was a loser with plenty of mental health issues, didn't gain notoriety until traditional entertainment industries in Spain lost ground to new online spaces, after a decade and a half of mediocre results.
You still have a point: it's far easier to become famous and successful when the cards are stacked in your favor, but that argument sucks because you only need one counter-example, which you definitely are going to find in a world with billions of people.
She's the one who ordered the cheeseburger right? She looked like she had never eaten a cheeseburger in her life and didn't know how to eat it. Of all the actors to choose for a burger scene, they went for the worst.
She should have been the little mermaid (👁 ͜ʖ 👁)
