Not really. Some of us get older and wiser and know that stuff no longer matters. It’s more sad to see someone in old age chasing youth so desperately like Demi Moore. She was even in a horror movie about chasing youth and is still like this.

Honestly, watching The Substance had the exact opposite effect it was supposed to have on me... Like, I understood the message it was trying to say and it made me self-reflect on some things I do that aren't great for my body just because I want to chase the youthful feeling, but it also made me SOOO much more self conscious about my appearance for such a long time after watching it because I really have noticed negative affects of aging on how people treat me and I think the movie highlighting those things impacted me the most.

With age you should move forward, not stay in the same place. You should realise doing the same thing you were doing when you were decades younger isn’t good for you anymore. People mistreating her in the movie were clearly depicted in a negative light. You should accept times change, we change and mature and we should be able to accept the changes. Chasing something you don’t anymore have and that there’s 0 chance of you possessing is very destructive to your body and mind. I think you and Demi should both watch the movie again.

u/s0ulether 19h ago
Yeah you should move forward as you age but the rhetoric that you can’t do stuff at an old age is tiring.
If you don’t stop being active at a certain age then you’ll still be able to do a lot. Of course you should accept that you’re growing older but you shouldn’t have to accept that you’re gonna be helpless by 70 unless you have a really bad injury.TL;DR: you can grow old physically(your face and stuff) but you don’t have to mentally and physically(your mobility and agility)

This! I find it hilarious that people are glazing her for being all natural when she was part of the very Hollywood culture that normalised cosmetic surgery. Mind you, people were getting work done long before her, but it was largely kept hush hush. Hollywood made cosmetic enhancements increasingly mainstream, and now people are celebrating her as the face of natural beauty. The irony is hard to miss.

I've been (finally) watching Severance and it dawned on me last night that i really really really like Patricia Arquette in this show. And in a close up shot the other night it dawned on me that the fact I could see her forehead and eye wrinkles as she expressed herself as a 50+ year old woman made her feel so much more real.
I'm sure there's a high chance she had some work done at some point but she still looks like an aged version of herself. She doesn't look like someone who said "give me the new Hollywood special"

Once upon a time, I worked as a writer for a very small publication, and I spoke to a plastic surgeon as part of my reporting, and he was mentioning the difference between plastic surgery in the Middle East and in the West. Having now lived in both, I don't think he was 100% right, but he did tell me about the distinction between the attitude of "I want no lines and that nose" and "I want to look good for my age, like still recognizably my age but good for 50/60/70 etc". Pamela Anderson might be in the second category.

Did you ever hear about that device they created in Germany, where you can turn a screw to give yourself an instant facelift? It was very popular, but people were abusing it, turning it every other day. One day, a patient went to see her plastic surgeon about it because she had developed huge bags under her eyes.
“Doctor!” She cried, “Why do I have these massive bags under my eyes?”
The doctor examined her carefully, sighed and explained “Ma’am, those aren’t bags; they’re your breasts, and if you don’t stop turning that damn screw, pretty soon you are going to have a beard.”

That said, aging is heavily dependent on genes and as well as life style (so let’s say someone struggled with hardship and anxiety, the effects of aging might be more pronounced). So we don’t need to appreciate the celebrities who age nicely only, but also everyone. If we want to encourage people to reduce plastic surgery, we need to lower our standards for what is considered beautiful while aging.
