*Spoiler Alert* Carol love scene is clearly amazing... why?
I’ve decided that this love scene is Carol is so good, because it feels like a dialogue. It’s amazingly subtle how they made that happen, embedded in all these tiny details. Therese asks Carol to take her to bed, and Carol stops and leans back. But then Carol actually follows Therese over to the bed. Carol unties her gown to start them off, then Therese tries to bring it down off her shoulder as they begin to kiss again in bed. Carol tries to turn off the light, and Therese stops her arm and says she wants to see her and possibly moves the gown a little off her shoulder, slightly off screen. Then Carol herself is the one who takes the gown off, so Therese can see her. They made a really interesting choice to have the scene move with this back and forth flow of intensity. It’s not your typical sexual imagination moving from “first base” to “fourth base.” They go from kissing, to Carol kissing Therese’s breasts, to Carol going down on her, to a careful shot of Therese responding, back to kissing, to just looking at one another and a couple softly spoken lines, back to the most passionate kissing. I was a bit mystified as to how this love scene managed to not feel like was portraying two people in the roles of active/passive, top/bottom, even though there’s a distinct divide in what we see of their lovemaking in who is giving and who is receiving pleasure. It’s because the whole scene shifts back and forth with both characters communicating and carrying the action beautifully. I’m just so impressed. There’s a whole lot to learn from a scene like this.
RE FUCKING TWEET
Brilliant Idea...
Wouldn't it be amazing if a huge box set of Helen McCrory films was made? There would be DVDs of each film or TV show Helen was in and they would come in a huge decorated box and you could order them in any region code you wanted so fans from around the world could play the discs. You wouldn't have to deal with horrid quality or trying to film films online or parts of films going missing. I'd buy it...
I ship Cissatrix. No matter how much hate I’ll get for it.
straight boys are weak and pathetic, queer girls walk into the ladies changing room and see ten women naked, do they stare? do they say something inappropriate? do they make them uncomfortable? no because they have the common fucking sense to recognise when a situation is sexual and that people deserve the most basic level of respect to not be harassed, yet here we are banning shorts and low cut tops in school because straight boys are weak and pathetic
okay i made this post this morning and it has since had eighty two thousand notes, it’s been featured on reddit, facebook, twitter i’ve been sent multiple death threats and messages that i don’t even want to describe
and i have to apologise
i’ve seen the error of my ways
straight boys are not ’weak and pathetic’
straight boys are weak, pathetic and fucking annoying
I will reblog this every time I see it posted
I miss high school because I got to see my TC every day and I could see all of her new outfits and listen to her talk about interesting stuff for 75 min and I could work really hard to impress her and talk to her about stuff and ugh going from seeing her 5 days a week to once every 1-2 months has been really hard.
Words can’t even begin to describe how much Murdoch Mysteries means to me.
it pains me to think of a world without your smile (via catastrophecreations)
