Phantom Thread Thread

Honestly, what was his problem?

1080p Web-DL when

why not just go see a cinema matinee?

He was playing Jordan Petersen.

Going outside and doing things is the worst.

I've seen people say he was gay, mommy issues, perhaps an oedipal or incestuous relationship with his sister. Was he a sadist?

REEEEEEEE

He had what people would call today asperger's syndrome, though I would much rather call him a dick. I think he was only capable of having a mother son relationship with alma. If he were real and younger today, he would be a literal mommy poster.

He wasn't autistic, he's a smooth seducer, just lookt at how he flirts with Alma the first time they meet. He's a control freak who needed a woman who treated him like a mother. Alma needed someone who could make her feel special. She felt special when he needed her.

he wasnt anything. whats with this need to categorize him with some label

>He wasn't autistic

Then why was he pissed off by breaks in his schedule, Alma buttering toast, and parties? He may not have been autistic but he certainly wasn't normal.

I didn't see him as having any problems. His amiability in the end dispels any autism claim, or anything like it. I think he lived in a very classy, feminine world so that kind of created his persona, almost like he's the only guy in a room of women.

I can't tell if that's a line Woodcock said or you.

>Web-DL
Why not BD?

Hes not you, breh. He's a wealthy/successful women's fashion designer in the 50s. He's gay, she was an unwitting beard.

I remember when being extremely controlling about your daily routine wasn't considered a physical malady but just your personality.

>TWBB ends with "I'm finished"
>Phantom Thread ends with "I'm hungry"

What did pta mean by this?

That DDL was miscast.

Who do you think would be a better match, Benedict Cumberpatch?

he came on his black wife, and is now expecting a sandwich

Literally the perfect wife.

European women are perfect, better than murrican girls.

Perhaps Colin Firth. Jeremy Irons would have been a good choice if he weren't so old. A romance needs a lead who can actually be seductive. DDL is one of the greatest actors ever but he just wasn't right for the role.

>implying this is a romance
It's a comedy about a sexless couple discovering BDSM as a means of coexisting.

Woodcock wasn't supposed to be seductive, it was obvious was the start that he was a grown up neurotic nerd.

>Indistinct accent
>Serves asparagus with butter instead of oil
>Perfect

Then PTA shouldn't have kept saying he was trying to do his Rebecca every time he was asked about what kind of film he was trying to make.

Audibly laughed

With Colin firth him being gay would have been a no brainer though. He's just so doughy

Imagine the dinner scene with Alma if that were the case.
"You are childish, this is all a game!"
"CLEAN YOUR ROOM"

I'd argue he wasn't supposed to be seductive per se, he was just an arrogant cock, and women tend to find that attractive especially when matched with wealth and success.

He was a creative genius with a rigorous schedule that he adhered to who also used young and beautiful women to inspire him until their inspiration as his muses dried up. Alma ended up being far more defiant and intrusive than his past flings and broached his emotional defensives after flat out fucking poisoning him.

He didn't have a problem. He was just very successful in a system of life that disallowed true intimacy. Alma fucked that all up but also, in a weird and disturbing way, managed to earn loyalty out of him.

This movie was bizarre.

He liked that she put restrictions on him even if he wasn't happy with it logically because it reminded him of his mother and his mother nursing him back to health.

PTA said the inspiration for the movie was based on his own mother doing stuff for him. The movie is a fucking mommy love letter desu

He eats poisoned mushrooms, which finishes him
