There has been a lot of talk about Emma Stone’s new movie because of a very explicit sequence that many people found startling and unexpected for a Disney movie.
The anthology film directed by Yorgos Lanthimos was recently uploaded to Disney+, which has people wondering if it is appropriate for the site.
Disney+ is known for having a lot of different types of content. Most of the time, it is seen of as family-friendly entertainment. However, its “Star” hub has started to show more adult content.
But this movie seems to have gone beyond what anyone expected.
Emma Stone plays Eloise in Kinds of Kindness, which follows her as she meets different people in three different stories.
The second chapter of the movie is where the issue starts. Eloise, a marine biologist who has just been rescued after being lost at sea, goes home to her husband, played by Jesse Plemons.
The story takes a shocking turn when Eloise and her husband have an explicit group encounter with another couple.
Some viewers feel unprepared after seeing the scene, which features full-frontal nudity and very s**ual content. They wonder if Disney+ gave enough cautions about it.
This event has brought up old conversations regarding Disney+’s changing content strategy and brand identity.
One person who watched it online said, “Kinds of Kindness” being on Disney Plus feels strange and unnatural, like seeing a crocodile at the dog park.
Another person said something similar: “Why the f** is this connected to Disney Plus?”
Some people said the scenario was “too dark and really weird” and “too much.”
Emma Stone has talked about the talk about her work with Lanthimos, saying that she has complete faith in his vision.
At the Cannes Film Festival premiere of the movie, she said, “I trust him more than I have ever trusted a director.”
Stone’s role in Kinds of Kindness comes after her role in Poor Things, another Lanthimos movie that got a lot of attention for its strong, R-rated themes.
Some people who saw the movie and some critics have praised it for its bold story and investigation of profound human ties, even if there was a lot of response.
Willem Dafoe, Margaret Qualley, and Hong Chau are also in the cast, along with Stone and Plemons.
