Materialists

I realized that this movie was even better than what I thought at first and that I genuinely double down on how much I like this movie because I saw someone on tik tok talking about how she's giving up on her dreams for the character of Chris Evans, that he has nothing good to offer her at all, and that love is the bare minimum of a relationship and he will never change for her and that she's basically settling for less than what she deserves, all for that final "declining" of the high paying job. So I had this to say: she's not sacrificing her dreams, she hated that job, and she did say she would think about it even after she spent half the movie unhappy and conflicted with the coldness and banality of her job. No one should take a job that they hate no matter how "good" it seems, are we just supposed to give up on ourselves and take the high paying job we hate instead of looking for a job that would truly make us happy? the movie talks about why would the first cave people marry when they had nothing to "gain" from it, and people are really not seeing what that means, The Materialists is not "broke propaganda", it's literally plain and simple hopeful romantic propaganda whether you agree with it or not. They are both changing lives they are not happy with and risking it all for the one thing they do know they want, their love, because they don't find that feeling anywhere else than when they are together. This movie really is saying love is NOT the bare minimum of a relationship, love is the one and only thing that matters about it, and you can agree with it or not, I personally think it's more complex than that, but this movie spends nearly 2 hours criticizing the reasons why we get in relationships in modern times, when we overlook and sometimes even ignore the one thing that matters the most, how we feel when we're in love with that person, and if that's not enough, maybe you're not that much in love. And finally if you think he has nothing good to offer her and that she's losing something, you also gotta take in consideration that Pedro Pascal's life in real life pretty much mirror's Chris Evans character's life (even tho Pedro's was worse because he was almost homeless), Pedro Pascal had a really rough time for way too many years until he didn't, and now he's everywhere and everyone desires him, so people really forget that Pedro Pascal is a global star at the age of 50, and that he was not even close of being a movie star in his 30s, not even close. So if by the end of the movie someone gets to the conclusion that she ended up with the "broke" one, they're only being part of the things this movie complains about for nearly 2 hours. PS: I really don't understand how a woman watching this film wants her to end up in a cold ass corporation that does not care that their clients get sexually assaulted in the encounters they set up.
