Thoughts on Promising Young Woman - TW: Discussions of SA
I just watched Promising Young Woman and wanted to share my thoughts. I thought the movie was fantastically done, but one thing I wanted to comment on was how nobody involved in the making of this film seems to know what age people usually go to medical school??? I saw an interview from Bo Burnham discussing the film where he said that the characters were probably around 19 when they SA’d Nina, but by that age they would most likely been in college, not in medical school, which it was established is when the SA occurred. Also the characters mention in the actual movie that they were “just kids” when they committed the SA, but by medical school age they definitely should not be “just a kid” age. IDK it was kind of a small detail but it really bugged me. I think this movie will weigh on my mind for a while so feel free to DM or reblog with a comment if you have any similar recommendations or want to talk about it!
