I want more Pariahs

Pariah

Written and Directed by Dee Rees.

I’m still in awe how Dee Rees achieves this likelihood. Pariah it’s in every way the representation of a community, right? But the things in common with every other community present in every different line throughout the entire story are remarkable. It becomes even a bit predictable in the sense that you know these stories, not in a negative way. But it’s still a very thoughtful story, detailed and in the end it gives you hope.

So, why do mothers on a sudden rage beat their daughters when they tell them they’re gay? There should be a film about their perspective. That film probably exists already. Oh wait, Prayers for Bobby is that film. But it’s not enough for me. There should be more films like this one, period!

Letters, Abel Korzeniowski

I need to take a moment of absolute appreciation to Abel Korzeniowski and his work for W.E, which I’m listening as I’m writing this. Yes, I'm still fixated in Madonna's W.E and yes I watched it a couple of times more.

I don’t know how to express this work, which I believe it’s masterful. His work sounds subtle but also extremely driven. It started from the opening sequence of the film. As you watch it, the sound leads us the way, all the ways emotionally, introspectively and just let us float through these characters’s space in time. The sound let us float yes, the pace is accelerated, it’s like it drives us, and it takes us. But even out of Madonna’s world we want to hear the entire CD over and over again.

Sometimes I would hear the entire CD three times in a day. It involves us and involves us, and you can’t stop listening to it. I never been this stoned by an original movie soundtrack since probably Dario Marianelli’s Pride and Prejudice.

A few more.

Not enough to hear it once.

July, 20

It feels weird to post something, after what happened yesterday. It’s just terrible, in every possible way. From an outside point of view, let me tell you, unfortunately, these things don’t surprises us anymore. You hear it every now and then, and when we hear these outrageous events we almost immediately think of United States, so there’s definitely something terribly wrong. There’s got to be reasons why and surely some thinking…but who am I to say anything, I’m just a young girl hide in my corner watching it all happen.

Emmys, first phase

What the fuck, Emmys? What the fuck?

Are you broken???

You know what?

Billie's Call Girl

I had so much fun, Billie. I had a laugh. You are absolutely lovely.

I wish there was more.

I’ll get back to this later.

Farewell My Queen

I'm looking forward, I miss corsets. 

And i'm dying to see these two.

Imagine Me & You

Can you imagine how wrong and misrepresented this film is? This utterly irresistible romantic comedy could be written by me two years ago, maybe three, maybe even today. Because it’s the kind of story a seventeen year old would write and a thirty two, you know, anyone could write it. It’s that exact story of a fantasy take on someplace foreigner and much romanticized.

Where to begin? Lesbians don’t look like Lena Headey’s. Choosing inoffensive words here, they look not so elegant.

I know I know things change and today the multiplicity and range is out there established. Look, if I’m being offensive to someone, that first one is me. Straight women certainly don’t fall for lesbians and much less leave men. No, that doesn’t happen often. And if it did, it wouldn’t be this way. I’m sure if someone read this and would go for a comment there would be plenty of people talking about their exceptions. But really, are we going for the exceptions? Isn’t it true what I’ve been saying? Large trousers and casual look won’t make Lena Headey a lesbian. Not to mention she would be often cocky, possibly offensive and fearless. They certainly don’t look like Amber Heard and they look. But are we really going for that? But that’s where Imagine Me and You is wrong…and correct. It completes the dream. We all wouldn’t mind if our girlfriend would look like Piper Perabo, or Lena Headey or even Matthew Goode. Would I be the kind of person trapped in an inoffensive solitude until I would (wrongfully) find the love of one’s life and then finally sit in a bench quietly and happily with the love of one’s life? Absolutely yes, except that I wouldn’t. You see, I’m running clichés like race horses here. Would I choose this unrealistic romantic comedy over not so “girly” “real” lesbians’ stories? Probably yes. But let me tell you, the other option would be really freaking interesting too.

Imagine Me and You is a romantic comedy and here’s exactly the results of a romantic comedy. After the dream, you wake up and realize the misrepresentation. But that’s usually every romantic comedy and it gets tiring to discuss it. Weather is Imagine Me and You or in one of Sandra Bullock’s films. You see this film for the purpose of dreaming and feel good and at the end the hope. I figure Imagine Me and You is at the end a good thing. The end itself, even if embarrasses us, literally, it’s a good end because with a film like this one, with light approaches, without really facing trouble, makes people watch it, and it helps boosting the queer films into mainstream. It helps breaking the wall or/and the fear, or getting into if not first, possibly second line.

I bet my mom would enjoy it, except that she wouldn’t. Maybe a bit, for sure, but not as much as I do on a regular bases!
