Ppl internalizing the film as ABOUT having a BPD girlfriend is really frightening and bizarre bc it allows the young men who are watching it to ignore the fact that they are watching a r*pe and humiliation movie.
My theater had teen boys in it who all saw her as the monster.
@kettlevinyl the main thing that drives me crazy about modern (internet) film criticism is how flattened everything has become. nothing can be complicated or thorny or contradictory. there’s only ONE correct way to read things and if you don’t you’re not only wrong but also a bad person
i will always prefer this over a performative instagram story.. im sorry but this is what makes a real difference and not posts online to pass peoples morality tests
my gf has a neighbor that has apparently never lived in an apartment building before. why are you yelling at us through the wall about tapping a spoon against a bowl when you go in your microwave about 60 times a day and slam the door. odd behavior
The day people realize that Taylor’s success comes from her storytelling, melodic instinct, creativity, consistency and not from her dancing and vocal abilities, is the day I’ll know peace.
When she interpolated “Father Figure” by George Michael, she could've just paid a one-time money to George's label for interpolation, but since George never owned the master recordings of his original music, she decided to credit him as a songwriter so that his estate would earn royalties forever from her song instead of his label. What makes it even better is that, on the song Taylor describes how the owner of her previous label, the same person who told her that he'd be her father figure, betrayed her by selling her music to Scooter Braun and how despite all that, “this empire belongs to her” since it's HER music
