The unmoral aspect of Poor Things (spoiler)

The director expresses a supportive position on social engineering, which is evident in two key scenes at the end of the movie:

1. While Bella and Max walk along the river, she asks him, "Do you believe people are improvable?" and he responds with "I do," drawing a comparison between changing a person's character to medical procedure whose aim to eliminate problematic aspects in men and women.

2. General Alfred embodies the forceful, territorial, oppressive aspect in man, possibly reflecting the director's post-colonial approach. They decide to "cure" the general through medical experimentation, which is actually a murder, rather than opting for criminal sanctions or education. The overarching idea of free choice that Bella, Max, and Godwin believe in turns out to be nothing more than hypocrisy, as they only apply it to themselves.

Note: Not from every cultural work we can learn about the ideological and political positions of the author through the main characters, but in the above case, it is evident that the film is intended to educate the viewer.
