I saw The Favourite yesterday and it blew my tiny fucking mind directly out of my skull, and I can tell that it’s made a deep impression because I saw someone bad mouthing it on here and took it extremely personally
#here’s a cool idea: #how about we don’t use every film with any lgbt characters in it as representative of aaaalll offf the real lgbt people #stop fucking #holding characters to an arbitrary high standard of morality #if they all plarp around being placid #it makes for a BORING film! #I’d much rather see what I just saw #Rachel Weisz covered in blood#Olivia Colman puking into a vase and shrieking at chamber musicians to shut the fuck up #all this#than…whatever the fuck else you think would be More Morally Acceptable Lesbinims #don’t be so fucking patronising
especially since it’s a) based on the real letters of real people who were probably asshats quite often and b) THE MORALITY OF THE LATE SEVENTEENTH CENTURY IS COMPLETELY DIFFERENT TO THE MORALITY OF TODAY AND THEY WOULDN’T! HAVE! ACTED! THE WAY YOU WANT THEM TO!
(also shit fuck my entire ass was that not a fun and dark catastrophe of a triangle of love and exploitation and irrelevant men)
“waaah waaah waaaaah it’s full of exploitative power dynamics and no-one is an equal” ONE OF THEM IS LITERALLY THE FUCKING QUEEN
(you’re goddamn right I’ll shit your entire your fucking ass that movie twanged me into the fucking sun)
