@mlpage88 Yeah, I think the film did a really good job of creating that feeling a lot throughout the movie. It really felt like we were watching these characters simply go through their day except a lot of drama happened within it #femfilm18

[H Steff @HSteff2]

@RJfemfilm I don't think you're reading too much into this, it was so present in so many shots. I think it's almost dramatic irony in that fangs represent the sucking of blood and that's basically his job #femfilm18

[H Steff @HSteff2]

It’s confusing to hear the happy music at the end but also realize a truck kid of people were kidnapped? #femfilm18

[H Steff @HSteff2]

How do you think the scene of Miguel walking through the nature could represent his character development through the film? #femfilm18

[H Steff @HSteff2]

No matter where Miguel goes, the skateboard goes. This could represent his fleeting nature, always moving to something else. #femfilm18

[H Steff @HSteff2]

I think the ideas of castration can be applied to this gay relationship. The arguments surrounding the positioning of the men can reflect the perceived castration that is connected to the relationship dynamics. #femfilm18

[H Steff @HSteff2]

The “movie without a movie” concept can relate to Mulvey’s voyeurism theory; Gabriel can be seen as both an actor obviously in the commercial but also an actor in the drama. #femfilm18

[H Steff @HSteff2]

Whenever the men are together, they’re bathed by the bright red light. What sort of symbolism could this imply? #femfilm18

[H Steff @HSteff2]

Juanito could have reminded me of the inter generational connection between Little and Juan from Moonlight. Except the elder was not altruistically trying to better the younger one; Juanito merely helped him in his illicit business. #femfilm18

I’m curious to see if Adri ever gets to talk or if she is just used as a point of relationship developement between the main (male) characters #femfilm18

[H Steff @HSteff2]

@RodeReviews I think there are aspects in which they transcend those stereotypes. I’m thinking specifically about that conversation about their similarities. By giving them more dimension, I think they subvert the stereotypes they represent. #femfilm18

[H Steff @HSteff2]

@DeGwss @FemFilmMaddison That’s a good point that corky and violet subvert the norms of the genre. I love the messy drama they cause. #femfilm18

[H Steff @HSteff2]

What role do you think the violence against women plays? Do you see an unequal dynamic between the violence against men and women? #femfilm18

[H Steff @HSteff2]

There are clear moments of comedy in this movie. How do you think the movies approach critiques or supports the genre it borrows from?

[H Steff @HSteff2]

It’s interesting to analyze corky through hook’s looking relations. Literally, she is removed and can’t watch anything that’s going on. It reflects her powerlessness in the situation.

[H Steff @HSteff2]

Corky and Violet tried to act as agents independently of men. But so far it seems like they still don’t have the power. #femfilm18

[H Steff @HSteff2]

These sex scenes are really rooted in physical scenary items: the steering wheel, the shoes. These framing devices help to establish an outward gaze. #femfilm18

[H Steff @HSteff2]

Mulvey’s ideas surrounding voyeurism can be applied to the first sexual scene. The camera angles were very external and voyeuristic in nature; it didn’t take the perspective of an individual but rather an outsider #femfilm18

[H Steff @HSteff2]

The characters are very archetypal: the femme with the nylons and bright lipstick, the masculine lesbian with tattoos and piercings #femfilm18

[H Steff @HSteff2]

@eacre004 AND the fact that it was literally the World Trade Center. It's almost eerie to see it play out on screen knowing what would happen in 2001.
