Sometimes I think “oh I’ve definitely seen the smallest lesbian I’ll ever see” and then a Keebler elf in a Carhartt beanie and microscopic hiking boots will pop out of a literal hollow
While I see where ppl are coming from bc a lot of ppl seem to think it's supposed to be a classic romance, I def agree that there are major romance plot points and themes even tho it's unhealthy. The genre of the book is not romance but it's def there
wuthering heights is indeed a love story. he ruined his life and everyone else’s for love. he desecrated graves. their spirits are still roaming the moors. stop spreading this rhetoric that all literary romances must be healthy to count as love. you’re such moralistic bores.
such a fundamental misunderstanding of the wuthering heights criticism. the issue isn’t about playing with format or a new take on the source material it’s that removing the race dynamics alters the class dynamics and the promo gives silly goofy romcom which WH very much isn’t
hate how stunning the visuals are for wuthering heights, but if there's one thing emerald fennell has really figured out, it is a great cinematography actually
🧵Ok so my argument is that wishbone is abt this fuckass summer situationship Conan had and Wilson and Brando are I fictionalized intermission to express the love, the heartbreak, and to give it the happy ending he may have wished for.
Breakdown: Actor introduces the failed
the will and Brand happy ending bc he mentions how February sucked so we could imagine it's may (Vodka Cran break timeline) and he's writing care knowing it's over and not just a break but knowing feelings won't completely go away. So anyways wishbone is the complicated and messy
don't tell me abt anything space bc he wants to live in that Wilson and Brando world where there is reconciliation and a way to move on together. Then we end with Care where he wants to move on but he's still feeling that tie and it feels like one last open door towards having
coaxing him back, only the feeling of being misused. And so we go into Sunset Tower where he's going through the other side of breakup from My World where it's the other guy seemingly thriving while Conan tries to hide from it and Eleven Eleven where he's still in this denial,
following is Connell 💔💔 which is back to Conan's reality and I feel like he's just thinking yeah there was a reason I was nauseous abt this, he's remembering the love like Wilson does in Caramel, but the focus is now on the pain and neglect and there is no warm caramel feeling
have jumped in more fully. So then we go back to will and Brando where will looks back at his relationship as well, remembering the bad but being swept away by the good, and in the end, they find their way back to each other and we have Wilson and Brando forever. BUT immediately
things like family line. Then we have nauseous which is Conan thinking abt how he might be holding back from fear that stems from the feelings and history expressed in class clown and it feels like a door is opening, looking back on the past relationship wondering if he could
out of Will + Brando back to Conan's reality. Which for me is processing the anger of the reality of Vodka Cran and then My World where he's doing the post breakup trying to regain freedom and assert he's fine to move on. Then class clown is just obviously like an extension of
relationship, This Song immediately goes into will + brand pt 1 to express the encompassing and unsure love of a summer romance. Then we've got Vodka Cranberry that is the dissolution of that honeymoon phase and the heartbreak. Then there is an abrupt musical shift, tearing us
Listen, I'm no puritan & I'm into horror, it takes a fuckton to truly shock me, so it's not the hypersexuality that makes me side-eye this, it's the fact that we are completely changing the tone&theme of the novel?why? couldn't she make an original feature film? #wutheringheights
This is what upsets me so much, there is so much material to work with to make something dark and twisted and shocking but instead we're "stripping emotional nuance"?? Just call it something else at this point cuz it's not wuthering heights
Wuthering Heights is such a dark fucked up story but instead of actually focusing on emotional and physiological aspects Emerald Fennell is gonna make it into something with shocking imagery but no substance whatsoever
white heathcliff, poc edgar, historically inaccurate costumes and hairstyles, emerald fennell, 30+ year old woman playing the character that died at 18, overly sexualized plot PLEASE NO MORE NEWS ABOUT WUTHERING HEIGHTS IVE SEEN ENOUGH
@speaklaur@winterduck04 It's not about this at all don't let them fool you!! Idk why the movie is "stripped of emotional nuance" bc the book is about the cycle of psychological and physical abuse and relies very heavily on exploring complex emotions to create atmosphere and characters that stay with you
