GJ: “So, you’re on
your knees? Good. Now die to yourself. To your idea of yourself. Everything you
think you are, you’re not. What’s left? Find out."
Robin: “I’ve just
realized that who I thought I was who my father and my mother were…"
GJ: “Stop! Stop
thinking.”
…
Robin: “GJ, I need to
help Tui.”
GJ: “You people all
want to help someone. That one, that one wants to help Africa. Help yourself
first. Like the airplane. Put on your own mask first."
Robin: “How do I help
myself?”
GJ: “Why should I
tell you when you don’t listen?”
Robin: “I’m
listening.”
GJ: “No! All you hear
are your own crazy thoughts, like a river of shit, on and on. See your thoughts
for what they are. Stop your helping. Stop your planning. Give up! There’s no
way out. Not for others, not for you. We are living out here at the end of the
road, the end of the earth in a place called Paradise. How’s it going? Perfect?
No. You are madder than ever. You are tired? (Robin nods her face.) So lie down
right here. Be like a cat. Heal yourself. There is no match for the tremendous intelligence
of the body. Rest."
…
GJ: “When it’s the
next flight to Reykjavik?”
Melissa: “Um,
Iceland. Any route preference or carrier?”
GJ: “No. Just get
away from these crazy bitches.”
Top of the Lake,
written and created by Jane Campion and Gerald Lee, directed by Jane Campion.
It’s becoming one of my
favorite projects of the year so far. Loved the questions, excited to explore
Top of the Lake again and further more.
