I always say this but it’s just because it’s so true: your writing is just beautiful. I love the way you paint a picture in the reader’s mind and how you describe the way this spoke to you. in the very beginning I could almost picture your journey to the theatre and the love you held for the film on the way home. love this🤍
“…we can't tell if she's in ecstasy or agony—perhaps because there's no real difference anymore.” What a great antithesis of the movie. Animalistic hunger and our humane nature are always at odds and the back and forth is awful and incredible all at once. Nosferatu was like having a panic attack from laughing too hard, it was the pull of disgust and pleasure. Your writing beautifully captures that and I’m so glad I could read your review, I hope you’re able to find a balance between the monster and the man within.
I have... reasons why I'm hesitating to watch the remake (and if I do end up watching it, I'm sure it'll be like. 5 years from now lmfao), but I def understand what you mean of the body as a monster. I remember talking w my sister a while ago and being like "wow it's so crazy how much has to go Right for bodies to be 'functional'" - the countless things that can go wrong during pregnancy, the countless viruses/diseases that can lead to permanent disability. I've had back pain for as long as I can remember (the joys of having DD boobs); and thanks to long covid I've developed more pains, as well as being overexerted by seemingly simple tasks and lots of fatigue and brain fog (or I presume it's brain fog - the explanations I've read don't feel quite right to what I experience. who knows.)
I'm glad you felt seen by the film and you were able to live vicariously thru Ellen. also you are beautiful and amazing 🩷
