and what is your scientific proof..because you deem the public doesn't like thinking movies? yet the public liked his previous films immensely. So you're just reaching. How would the public know the film unless they viewed it firsthand. They were repelled by her. You can call me all the names in the book but your excuses don't add up. She's box office poison. And people are no longer interested in seeing her. By all accounts her name alone should have pulled people in to see this film after all she is this supposed great thespian..that in itself would be reason for them to want to see her in this art house film. Also let's forget the knuckle draggers..where were all the none knuckle draggers like yourself who love art house films why didn't it do well?
It's not moronic at all. If you go to Twitter and read the posters tweets under all the promotion for Mother you would see many people were offended by her political comments. I didn't say it flopped only because of that but it was sweetness for those who she did piss off. How do you know what drove people not to go see it..Are you a mind reader. If Jennifer Lawrence is the Hollywood IT girl, who has legions of fans they would have shown up to support this film. People saw the directors previous movies so clearly his genre of film making has an audience. So don't try to pass it off as people don't want to have their mind's challenged. She is box office poison.
She's the prime example of why hollywood should go back to that old school system of monitoring the stars who are in their films. Her mouth and stupid political comments put many movie goers off. She lives in a bubble and thought can spew her ignorant political rhetoric and no one would notice and pay to see her film. Her $20 million demand for film days are over.
of course it bombed. and it might not have flopped so poorly had Jennifer Lawrence not pissed off millions of potential people who would have gone to see it out of curiosity..but she made sure with her stupid political comments that potential viewers turn away. That's a factor in marketing and promoting a film not to piss off people who might pay to see your film. She is box office poison..but Hollywood is in denial, so they will have to see at least 2 more stand alone films of hers flop.
I will say for sure it's the demands of the screenwriter/script. Actors aren't allowed to deviate from the script so the screenwriters/producers decided beforehand this is Henry's speech pattern. But it does highlight Henry's wit and introspective side.
