Hello friends, I'm here with another interesting movie title Poor things and I would like to share you with here.
The movie is about brought back to life by an unorthodox scientist, a young woman runs off with a lawyer on a whirlwind adventure across the continents.
Free from the prejudices of her times, she grows steadfast in her purpose to stand for equality and liberation.
It begins In Victorian London, medical student Max McCandless becomes an assistant to eccentric surgeon Godwin Baxter.
He meets and falls in love with Godwin's ward, a childlike young woman named Bella.
Godwin reveals that the woman, who was pregnant, died by suicide after leaping off a bridge.
He resurrected Bella by replacing her brain with that of the still-living baby, resulting in her having an infant's mind.
With Godwin's permission, Max asks for Bella's hand in marriage.
Bella accepts, but as her intelligence rapidly develops, she begins to crave autonomy and runs off with lawyer Duncan Wedder burn.
Deciding to let her go, Godwin starts a new experiment with a young woman named Felicity, who matures much slower than Bella.
Bella and Duncan embark on a grand journey, starting in Lisbon, where the two engage in frequent sex, in addition to other forms of hedonism.
She becomes difficult for him to control, so he smuggles her onto a cruise ship for a “change of scenery”.
On the ship, she befriends fellow passengers Martha and Harry, who open her mind to philosophy.

He becomes increasingly exasperated and begins to indulge in drinking and gambling.
During a stop at Alexandria, Bella is distraught after witnessing the miserable poverty of the locals and donates Duncan's winnings, which are in turn stolen by the crew.
Unable to afford the rest of the trip, the two are kicked off the ship at Marseille, after which they make their way to pairs.
Having run out of funds, Bella begins working at a brothel, further enraging Duncan and resulting in his mental breakdown, finally leading her to abandon him.
At the brothel, she comes under the tutelage of Madame Swiney and befriends fellow prostitute Toinette, with whom she begins a relationship and who introduces her to socialism.
A terminally ill Godwin asks Max to bring Bella to him.
