I’m confused on how they died, but the imagery of walking together into the distance was quiet poetic #brothersofthehead #femfilm18

What role do you think the sister plays in this film?She’s an interesting character to me even though she’s really only there in the beginning and then the end #brothersofthehead #femfilm18

@ChickflicksRule I think why they are so rude at times and use derogatory and hurtful language, and even make the type of music they make is all due to their upbringing and hardships they’ve gone through and the judgment they received from their environment #femfilm18

@cajuntigershark That’s a really interesting thought, I was thinking about that too. Does representation have its limits when it comes to disabled vs. able-bodied people #femfilm18

That would be hard to not have a life separate from your twin, always together, I wonder why mental health has not been mentioned #brothersofthehead #femfilm18

Looking into the eyes of the boys as they stare is quite intense every time. Seems like they have a lot of trouble in their souls “evidence of the wholeness we never felt and the immense sense of fullness we gave each other” -Erevelles #femfilm18

First female character and they treat her so rudely! #laura #femfilm18

Voyerism is prevalent, the boys are a sight to see, and the reason they want to turn them into a band because people want to look at them and see into their life (watching them in the shower) they are a spectacle #brothersofthehead #femfilm18

The interview style matches Citizen Cane as well #femfilm18

[ABAFemFilm @FilmAba]

The scene of the father signing away the boys reminds me of the same scene in Citizen Cane, great depth of field with parent in the foreground, bistander in middle ground, and subject in background out the window #femfilm18

[ABAFemFilm @FilmAba]

Watching Brothers of the Head. Starting out very ominous #femfilm18

[ABAFemFilm @FilmAba]

The movie starts in anarchy, and reverts away from anarchy, back to following authority figures #femfilm18

[ABAFemFilm @FilmAba]

@k_mindy The origami boat bobbing and 'floating' on the blue blanket as they have sex seems like a huge symbol and directly related to the scenes in Moonlight of floating in the water #femfilm18

[ABAFemFilm @FilmAba]

What do people think about seeing all the hurt, injured, and sick people on the subway (every time they are on the subway)? What affect does this have? #ipromiseyouanarchy #femfilm18

[ABAFemFilm @FilmAba]

Anger and yelling and being upset is shown again without dialogue sound, and instead music, just like in Moonlight with the mother yelling at Little #ipromiseyouanarchy #femfilm18

[ABAFemFilm @FilmAba]

All of the characters are so homophobic, it's really upsetting. Especially Johnny gets upset whenever his manliness is questioned by someone referring to him as gay (well a bad word I'm not willing to say) #ipromiseyouanarchy #femfilm18

[ABAFemFilm @FilmAba]

Mulvey's woman as the spectacle is definitely at play, Adri is one of the only female characters and she is almost always half or completely naked. She is "simultaneously looked at and displayed, with appearance coded for strong visual and erotic impact," #femfilm18

[ABAFemFilm @FilmAba]

@EMfemfilm I was wondering that too, I keep looking for a greater significance there with the skateboards, but I'm not sure if there is one #femfilm18

[ABAFemFilm @FilmAba]

Boys wrestling is very common, but I find it interesting that both Moonlight and I promise you anarchy feature boys wrestling in the context of a boy who's having homosexual thoughts, very interesting to think about #ipromiseyouanarchy #femfilm18

[ABAFemFilm @FilmAba]

Already the only female character is painted as an "annoying bitch" so, that's good...not really #ipromiseyouanarchy #femfilm18
