Like I want you to cast your mind 16 00:01:03,920 --> 00:01:06,800 Speaker 1: back to about two years ago when I was in 17 00:01:06,959 --> 00:01:12,880 Speaker 1: an extreme prolonged lockdown. Yeah, and truly was not sure 18 00:01:12,920 --> 00:01:14,960 Speaker 1: if I was ever going to be in a crowd again. 19 00:01:15,880 --> 00:01:18,760 Speaker 2: Oh yeah, you were giving everybody the hairy eyeball back. 20 00:01:19,720 --> 00:01:22,199 Speaker 1: And I stand by it. I think we came back 21 00:01:22,240 --> 00:01:25,560 Speaker 1: way too soon. We started up way too soon. But 22 00:01:25,600 --> 00:01:27,559 Speaker 1: that's all right. I stand by it. But I'm also 23 00:01:27,600 --> 00:01:30,920 Speaker 1: glad that things have moved now into a more of 24 00:01:30,959 --> 00:01:34,960 Speaker 1: an endemic stage. And yeah, I got my my my booster. 25 00:01:35,640 --> 00:01:37,920 Speaker 1: I got that latest booster, which knocked me out for 26 00:01:37,959 --> 00:01:39,600 Speaker 1: like two days. It knocked me out like it did 27 00:01:39,600 --> 00:01:42,000 Speaker 1: the first time we got boosters. I wasn't expecting that. 28 00:01:42,840 --> 00:01:44,880 Speaker 1: But I feel like, if the booster is that strong, 29 00:01:44,959 --> 00:01:46,880 Speaker 1: then this version of COVID might be a pain in 30 00:01:46,880 --> 00:01:48,240 Speaker 1: the ass. So get your boosters. 31 00:01:48,720 --> 00:01:52,320 Speaker 2: Well, I know, I've been waiting for my new health 32 00:01:52,360 --> 00:01:54,920 Speaker 2: insurance plan to kick in before I get I get 33 00:01:54,960 --> 00:01:56,640 Speaker 2: the booster because. 34 00:01:56,480 --> 00:02:00,800 Speaker 1: Yeah, they're like two dollars.

That's all I'm saying. 66 00:03:40,720 --> 00:03:42,960 Speaker 1: I really am. I got I went and saw Idols 67 00:03:42,960 --> 00:03:46,120 Speaker 1: a couple of weeks ago, and I got the tickets 68 00:03:46,160 --> 00:03:49,480 Speaker 1: in like February. It was one of those far reaching 69 00:03:49,520 --> 00:03:51,880 Speaker 1: things where I was suddenly like, oh wait, this actual, 70 00:03:51,920 --> 00:03:55,560 Speaker 1: this concert is actually happening now. So I saw them 71 00:03:55,560 --> 00:03:58,800 Speaker 1: in Forest Hill's Queen's which is hilarious on its own 72 00:03:58,920 --> 00:04:01,280 Speaker 1: because it's in the middle of a neighborhood. So they 73 00:04:01,280 --> 00:04:04,920 Speaker 1: have a very strict ten pm cutoff time. There's a 74 00:04:04,920 --> 00:04:07,400 Speaker 1: countdown clock on the stage and they will pull the 75 00:04:07,440 --> 00:04:11,000 Speaker 1: plug if the music hasn't stopped. There's also a venue 76 00:04:11,000 --> 00:04:12,760 Speaker 1: in London that's like that, which I just I find 77 00:04:12,800 --> 00:04:16,520 Speaker 1: it hilarious that they're like, fucking stop playing now or 78 00:04:16,520 --> 00:04:19,560 Speaker 1: else we're gonna get the fucking noise complaints. But I 79 00:04:19,600 --> 00:04:21,520 Speaker 1: went to this show and Forrest L's is a pretty 80 00:04:21,520 --> 00:04:23,520 Speaker 1: big stadium. It's you know, where a lot of tennis 81 00:04:23,600 --> 00:04:25,640 Speaker 1: is played. If you're a tennis person, you've seen it before. 82 00:04:26,520 --> 00:04:31,680 Speaker 1: And it was fucking packed, and thankfully I got tickets 83 00:04:32,000 --> 00:04:34,320 Speaker 1: in the seats, but they were like the first row 84 00:04:34,360 --> 00:04:36,960 Speaker 1: of the seats, so it was like pretty close to 85 00:04:37,000 --> 00:04:39,120 Speaker 1: the stage. It was still the whole experience, but with 86 00:04:39,200 --> 00:04:41,960 Speaker 1: a seat.

The picture or the video or whatever it was 124 00:06:39,240 --> 00:06:44,240 Speaker 2: that you posted a while back was a full pit photo, 125 00:06:44,480 --> 00:06:46,680 Speaker 2: which I was like, Okay, people are still doing that, 126 00:06:46,720 --> 00:06:49,520 Speaker 2: which is performing. But at the same time, I was 127 00:06:49,640 --> 00:06:53,920 Speaker 2: just like, does this mean you're considering getting back in there? 128 00:06:54,120 --> 00:06:56,400 Speaker 2: Are you, like, you know, throwing up some elbows, like 129 00:06:56,440 --> 00:06:57,040 Speaker 2: what's going on? 130 00:06:57,279 --> 00:06:59,600 Speaker 1: Well, this is what I'm having to balance right now 131 00:06:59,640 --> 00:07:01,599 Speaker 1: because we are still a couple of weeks out from 132 00:07:01,600 --> 00:07:05,560 Speaker 1: the show, and I still feel tired.

Possibly, 665 00:35:30,800 --> 00:35:35,640 Speaker 1: but because she was so fucking intensely good in this 666 00:35:35,920 --> 00:35:39,080 Speaker 1: movie and in general, I really just love Charlie's Thearon 667 00:35:39,280 --> 00:35:42,600 Speaker 1: me too. I just love her. I just think, again, 668 00:35:42,680 --> 00:35:44,440 Speaker 1: get a British man in my life and let me 669 00:35:44,440 --> 00:35:46,680 Speaker 1: be friends with Charlie Staron. That's all I ask me too. 670 00:35:47,120 --> 00:35:50,280 Speaker 1: She's so fucking great. But because she's so fucking great 671 00:35:50,480 --> 00:35:55,080 Speaker 1: in that role, by comparison, I feel like Christina Ricci 672 00:35:56,440 --> 00:36:00,480 Speaker 1: was awful. We will talk about it. 673 00:36:00,800 --> 00:36:03,319 Speaker 2: Oh, we are going to talk about it. 674 00:36:03,360 --> 00:36:05,879 Speaker 1: Well, you're girls, job on him? 675 00:36:07,480 --> 00:36:12,240 Speaker 2: Okay. So my movie for the theme sisters are doing 676 00:36:12,280 --> 00:36:20,520 Speaker 2: it for themselves is from three What the Fuck? Two 677 00:36:20,520 --> 00:36:23,800 Speaker 2: thousand and three it was written and directed by Patty Jenkins, 678 00:36:23,840 --> 00:36:26,520 Speaker 2: and it's called Monster What I always wanted to be 679 00:36:27,040 --> 00:36:31,400 Speaker 2: President in the United States. So let me talk a 680 00:36:31,440 --> 00:36:34,920 Speaker 2: little bit about Patty Jenkins. Actually, yeah, you know what's weird. 681 00:36:35,680 --> 00:36:40,239 Speaker 2: Both are movies this week directed by women. Absolutely, I 682 00:36:40,280 --> 00:36:47,840 Speaker 2: wonder why that's amazing. Maybe maybe women should be directing 683 00:36:47,880 --> 00:36:51,799 Speaker 2: movies about women and their lives. Oh you think, yeah, 684 00:36:51,920 --> 00:36:52,520 Speaker 2: that should happen. 685 00:36:52,640 --> 00:36:55,560 Speaker 1: What that would look like more often constantly if it 686 00:36:55,560 --> 00:36:59,960 Speaker 1: took over the industry. 687 00:36:58,760 --> 00:37:03,640 Speaker 2: For interesting art would be created. So Patty Jenkins, you know, 688 00:37:04,000 --> 00:37:07,120 Speaker 2: she's the if you don't know her, she's the director 689 00:37:07,160 --> 00:37:09,279 Speaker 2: of the two Wonder Woman movies. I mean, that's the 690 00:37:09,280 --> 00:37:11,600 Speaker 2: most famous stuff she's done. She actually hasn't done a 691 00:37:11,680 --> 00:37:14,879 Speaker 2: ton of featur length films, but she started her career 692 00:37:14,920 --> 00:37:16,840 Speaker 2: as a camera operator and then she went to the 693 00:37:16,880 --> 00:37:21,000 Speaker 2: AFI to become a director. And I was reading this 694 00:37:21,239 --> 00:37:25,439 Speaker 2: article that was in Bust magazine a long time ago. 695 00:37:25,600 --> 00:37:29,040 Speaker 2: I feel like it was probably maybe ten years ago, 696 00:37:29,080 --> 00:37:33,279 Speaker 2: maybe maybe even earlier. I had to find it, you know, 697 00:37:33,440 --> 00:37:37,839 Speaker 2: on the wayback machine on the Internet archive, but basically 698 00:37:38,320 --> 00:37:41,440 Speaker 2: it said that, you know, after she graduated from the AFI, 699 00:37:42,120 --> 00:37:46,520 Speaker 2: Patty Jenkins met this independent producer guy and he had 700 00:37:46,600 --> 00:37:49,800 Speaker 2: made some kind of like low budget serial killer movies 701 00:37:50,080 --> 00:37:54,279 Speaker 2: in his career, and she mentioned to him, you know what, 702 00:37:54,400 --> 00:37:57,440 Speaker 2: you should make a movie about this woman, Eileen Warnos. 703 00:37:58,200 --> 00:38:02,080 Speaker 2: You know, because I gotta say, I think Patty Jenkins 704 00:38:02,120 --> 00:38:03,879 Speaker 2: might be like a little bit of a murder reno 705 00:38:04,040 --> 00:38:06,839 Speaker 2: just from what I've read. She likes your crime. And 706 00:38:07,560 --> 00:38:09,680 Speaker 2: she was at the time, was like, yeah, you know, 707 00:38:10,400 --> 00:38:12,839 Speaker 2: I'm fascinated by this woman Eileen Warnos who's in jail, 708 00:38:13,040 --> 00:38:15,239 Speaker 2: and I just have always been bothered by the way 709 00:38:15,280 --> 00:38:18,120 Speaker 2: that her story was presented. And the guy was like, 710 00:38:18,160 --> 00:38:20,400 Speaker 2: you know what, you should write a script about it, 711 00:38:20,440 --> 00:38:24,080 Speaker 2: because you're you know, you're new in Hollywood, and you know, 712 00:38:24,120 --> 00:38:26,680 Speaker 2: you should just write write a thing to get made. 713 00:38:27,040 --> 00:38:31,759 Speaker 2: So she did, and while Patty Jenkins was working on 714 00:38:31,800 --> 00:38:35,080 Speaker 2: the script, she actually wrote to Eileen Wars while she 715 00:38:35,160 --> 00:38:37,319 Speaker 2: was in jail and she was on death row, and 716 00:38:37,520 --> 00:38:40,320 Speaker 2: of course, you know, Eileen Warnos was kind of like, hmmm, 717 00:38:40,440 --> 00:38:42,480 Speaker 2: who's this person that's writing about me? Like this is 718 00:38:42,560 --> 00:38:46,400 Speaker 2: kind of weird, very weary, but then eventually they developed 719 00:38:46,480 --> 00:38:52,040 Speaker 2: a rapport and then the night before Eileen's execution, she 720 00:38:52,080 --> 00:38:57,319 Speaker 2: actually left Patty Jenkins all of her personal letters, and 721 00:38:57,600 --> 00:38:59,759 Speaker 2: I think Patty was really touched by that and said, 722 00:38:59,800 --> 00:39:02,680 Speaker 2: you know what, I feel this responsibility to like actually 723 00:39:02,680 --> 00:39:05,080 Speaker 2: direct this movie now, not just write it, but direct it, 724 00:39:05,120 --> 00:39:09,680 Speaker 2: because you know, like this, I bonded with this woman 725 00:39:09,800 --> 00:39:12,680 Speaker 2: that I'm writing about, and it just seems like the 726 00:39:12,719 --> 00:39:16,680 Speaker 2: right thing to do. So I kind of like that story. 727 00:39:17,120 --> 00:39:19,160 Speaker 1: Yeah, it's very organic, very organic. 728 00:39:19,480 --> 00:39:23,120 Speaker 2: Yeah, And to your early point about Charlie's throne, like, 729 00:39:23,560 --> 00:39:26,560 Speaker 2: so I will say this, I mean, I love her 730 00:39:26,600 --> 00:39:28,399 Speaker 2: so much. We just talked about this. I talked about 731 00:39:28,400 --> 00:39:32,840 Speaker 2: her at length in the Fury Road episode. It's funny 732 00:39:32,880 --> 00:39:37,240 Speaker 2: because I normally think that I do not turn towards 733 00:39:38,080 --> 00:39:44,480 Speaker 2: famous people like that, Like, I mean, she's an incredible, beautiful, 734 00:39:45,719 --> 00:39:51,680 Speaker 2: blonde Hollywood actress, right, I typically don't go towards that, right, 735 00:39:51,760 --> 00:39:55,799 Speaker 2: I like character directors and things of that nature. But 736 00:39:55,840 --> 00:39:57,919 Speaker 2: for some reason, I just always have really loved her. 737 00:39:58,120 --> 00:39:59,640 Speaker 2: And I think it's because she's more of an action 738 00:39:59,719 --> 00:40:02,080 Speaker 2: star and she kind of takes a lot of risks, 739 00:40:02,239 --> 00:40:05,400 Speaker 2: like with movies like this, and she was one of 740 00:40:05,400 --> 00:40:08,840 Speaker 2: the producers of the movie, and she really fought for 741 00:40:08,920 --> 00:40:10,880 Speaker 2: it to be made, and she was really like a 742 00:40:10,960 --> 00:40:13,440 Speaker 2: champion of the film, which I think is really great, 743 00:40:13,600 --> 00:40:16,359 Speaker 2: And now that I know more about her background, her 744 00:40:16,719 --> 00:40:18,960 Speaker 2: actual life story, it totally makes sense. 745 00:40:19,680 --> 00:40:19,839 Speaker 1: Right. 746 00:40:20,719 --> 00:40:25,719 Speaker 2: So, like I said, you know, she was amazing in 747 00:40:25,760 --> 00:40:27,799 Speaker 2: this film. She won the Oscar for it in two 748 00:40:27,800 --> 00:40:31,760 Speaker 2: thousand and four, So you know that, I don't want 749 00:40:31,800 --> 00:40:36,120 Speaker 2: to necessarily go into like the actual life of Eileen 750 00:40:36,120 --> 00:40:38,120 Speaker 2: Warner's and the crime because there's just so much out 751 00:40:38,200 --> 00:40:41,560 Speaker 2: there about it, and quite honestly, like we're not a 752 00:40:41,560 --> 00:40:45,520 Speaker 2: true crime podcast, so I'm not doing that. I have 753 00:40:45,680 --> 00:40:47,799 Speaker 2: seen a lot of other documentaries about her. I don't 754 00:40:47,800 --> 00:40:50,640 Speaker 2: know if y'all remember that Nick Broomfield documentary. I mean 755 00:40:50,719 --> 00:40:55,200 Speaker 2: that was really popular amongst you know, people that I knew, 756 00:40:55,239 --> 00:40:57,160 Speaker 2: like film people that I knew when it came out. 757 00:40:57,680 --> 00:40:59,640 Speaker 2: Actually that came out the same year as Monsters, So 758 00:41:00,280 --> 00:41:03,239 Speaker 2: Nick Broomfield, Wow, we got That's a whole other subject 759 00:41:03,480 --> 00:41:05,000 Speaker 2: like that again, a whole other pod. 760 00:41:05,000 --> 00:41:07,040 Speaker 1: I don't know much about him. I remember that that 761 00:41:07,080 --> 00:41:10,560 Speaker 1: I watched the documentary again after I watched the film, 762 00:41:10,560 --> 00:41:12,719 Speaker 1: this time for the pod, and I do not know 763 00:41:12,840 --> 00:41:15,839 Speaker 1: anything about him, but I have thoughts on that documentary. 764 00:41:16,239 --> 00:41:22,279 Speaker 2: He's a very contentious documentarian. He's provocative. He's he made 765 00:41:22,360 --> 00:41:26,759 Speaker 2: Curtain Courtney Okay, which is like the documentary that you 766 00:41:26,840 --> 00:41:31,160 Speaker 2: Know What to Do. It says something about somebody and 767 00:41:31,280 --> 00:41:34,319 Speaker 2: presents a side of that story that a lot of 768 00:41:34,320 --> 00:41:37,720 Speaker 2: people have issues with, right right, some people who don't 769 00:41:37,800 --> 00:41:40,000 Speaker 2: actually have issues with it. But it's like, you know, 770 00:41:40,719 --> 00:41:44,160 Speaker 2: his provocative. He's provocative and he makes you know, very 771 00:41:45,000 --> 00:41:48,839 Speaker 2: you know, bold documentaries and has done so for many, 772 00:41:48,880 --> 00:41:52,319 Speaker 2: many years. So yeah, that documentary exists. There's like a 773 00:41:52,360 --> 00:41:54,920 Speaker 2: couple other ones. So yeah, I mean, there is no 774 00:41:55,719 --> 00:41:58,680 Speaker 2: you can find information about Eileen. I will say that 775 00:41:59,400 --> 00:42:03,720 Speaker 2: you know, she was controversial, I think generally speaking because 776 00:42:04,800 --> 00:42:09,880 Speaker 2: of her crimes and her trauma. You cannot deny that 777 00:42:10,080 --> 00:42:14,359 Speaker 2: there was trauma in her life and that maybe there 778 00:42:14,360 --> 00:42:19,279 Speaker 2: were certain factors that led to what happened to her 779 00:42:19,320 --> 00:42:21,560 Speaker 2: and how she lived her life. 780 00:42:21,640 --> 00:42:23,399 Speaker 1: Right. Well, that to me is one of the more 781 00:42:23,440 --> 00:42:27,759 Speaker 1: interesting conversations about Eileen Warreno's like not just that she 782 00:42:28,040 --> 00:42:33,200 Speaker 1: was America's first female serial killer that we know of, right, 783 00:42:33,719 --> 00:42:37,520 Speaker 1: but that the narrative of what is the importance of 784 00:42:37,600 --> 00:42:43,080 Speaker 1: mental health when you're looking to execute someone or when 785 00:42:43,120 --> 00:42:47,759 Speaker 1: you're looking to punish someone for a crime, and kind 786 00:42:47,760 --> 00:42:51,000 Speaker 1: of what duty do you have to address or acknowledge 787 00:42:51,160 --> 00:42:54,320 Speaker 1: that their mental health is suffering or that they need 788 00:42:55,080 --> 00:42:59,120 Speaker 1: They clearly have issues that contributed to the crimes they 789 00:42:59,120 --> 00:43:02,239 Speaker 1: committed as an excuse, but just it brings up an 790 00:43:02,320 --> 00:43:07,719 Speaker 1: interesting for me, an interesting narrative about what do we 791 00:43:07,800 --> 00:43:12,720 Speaker 1: do in those extreme situations or those intent And that's honestly, 792 00:43:12,760 --> 00:43:16,560 Speaker 1: it's become part of what I see is more of 793 00:43:16,600 --> 00:43:21,760 Speaker 1: a standard discussion now, yep, discussion practice now when talking 794 00:43:21,800 --> 00:43:26,880 Speaker 1: about prisoner form, abolition and prisoner's rights, is that mental 795 00:43:26,880 --> 00:43:29,080 Speaker 1: health has entered the conversation in a way that it 796 00:43:29,160 --> 00:43:31,800 Speaker 1: absolutely did not when I when I lead more nos 797 00:43:31,920 --> 00:43:35,160 Speaker 1: was you know, being tried and convicted for her crimes. 798 00:43:35,080 --> 00:43:37,560 Speaker 2: One hundred percent. I totally agree with you on that. 799 00:43:38,239 --> 00:43:40,959 Speaker 2: I think that, yeah, this situation happened in an era 800 00:43:41,120 --> 00:43:46,600 Speaker 2: where there wasn't there weren't people who thought that that 801 00:43:46,680 --> 00:43:49,160 Speaker 2: people who committed crimes or that went to Jill were 802 00:43:49,200 --> 00:43:52,920 Speaker 2: human beings honestly, So it's like, you know, it doesn't 803 00:43:52,960 --> 00:43:57,120 Speaker 2: surprise me the way that things had turned out, unfortunately, 804 00:43:57,360 --> 00:44:00,560 Speaker 2: do you know what I mean? Yeah, And I feel like, yeah, 805 00:44:00,760 --> 00:44:06,440 Speaker 2: it's so complicated, Like isn't like, isn't this world so 806 00:44:06,640 --> 00:44:10,680 Speaker 2: complicated generally that like it's hard for me now being 807 00:44:10,719 --> 00:44:12,879 Speaker 2: the age that I'm at to be like super black 808 00:44:12,880 --> 00:44:14,919 Speaker 2: and white about stuff like this, Like I just can't 809 00:44:15,000 --> 00:44:17,840 Speaker 2: do it. Like I'm just like there, you know, I 810 00:44:19,160 --> 00:44:22,520 Speaker 2: don't know, Like I you see and hear about the 811 00:44:22,520 --> 00:44:25,920 Speaker 2: things that she experienced, and you're just like, I mean. 812 00:44:27,600 --> 00:44:31,920 Speaker 1: No care, no care, no attention. At any point in 813 00:44:31,960 --> 00:44:35,680 Speaker 1: her life there was something so extreme. And again we're 814 00:44:35,680 --> 00:44:38,800 Speaker 1: not a true crime podcast, but examples that I think 815 00:44:39,200 --> 00:44:41,960 Speaker 1: we're not in the film, but that but that I 816 00:44:42,040 --> 00:44:45,000 Speaker 1: know about her life from watching other things about her life, 817 00:44:46,000 --> 00:44:48,959 Speaker 1: just the fact that in the film, and this maybe 818 00:44:48,960 --> 00:44:50,920 Speaker 1: comes from the fact that Patty Jenkins had access to 819 00:44:50,920 --> 00:44:54,040 Speaker 1: those letters, which I didn't know. There's kind of occasionally 820 00:44:54,080 --> 00:44:59,439 Speaker 1: this this voiceover from the character from Aileen Wore knows 821 00:44:59,440 --> 00:45:03,360 Speaker 1: about her life and filling in kind of gaps very casually. 822 00:45:03,520 --> 00:45:07,640 Speaker 1: At one point, she says, I was around thirteen. Yeah, 823 00:45:07,680 --> 00:45:09,560 Speaker 1: it must have been thirteen, because it's right after I 824 00:45:09,600 --> 00:45:13,000 Speaker 1: gave baby up for adoption. And you're like, are you 825 00:45:13,120 --> 00:45:16,399 Speaker 1: fucking kidding me? That is pure child abuse? Yeah, that 826 00:45:16,440 --> 00:45:21,200 Speaker 1: she was sexually assaulted, got pregnant, had the baby, gave 827 00:45:21,239 --> 00:45:23,240 Speaker 1: it up for adoption by the time she was thirteen, 828 00:45:23,960 --> 00:45:27,759 Speaker 1: and because of that, at thirteen years old, she was 829 00:45:27,840 --> 00:45:30,440 Speaker 1: kicked out of her house and lived in the woods 830 00:45:30,480 --> 00:45:34,759 Speaker 1: in Michigan in the cold for two fucking years. Yeah, Like, 831 00:45:34,920 --> 00:45:37,839 Speaker 1: come on, you can't ignore that part of the conversation 832 00:45:38,600 --> 00:45:42,239 Speaker 1: in considering how someone becomes this kind of person, this 833 00:45:42,400 --> 00:45:45,279 Speaker 1: ferul this like pushed to the brink. Yeah, and that's 834 00:45:45,320 --> 00:45:48,520 Speaker 1: only one example of what happened to her in her life, right. 835 00:45:48,400 --> 00:45:52,040 Speaker 2: And what I also think too to that point, and 836 00:45:52,080 --> 00:45:54,400 Speaker 2: it is something that the I feel like this movie 837 00:45:55,600 --> 00:46:02,480 Speaker 2: really hones in on is the desk of poor people. Yes, 838 00:46:02,719 --> 00:46:05,480 Speaker 2: and people who have little to no skills in the 839 00:46:05,560 --> 00:46:08,880 Speaker 2: job market and or in capitalism. Let's just put it 840 00:46:09,000 --> 00:46:17,240 Speaker 2: generally right that that is a factor and how people, 841 00:46:18,200 --> 00:46:21,280 Speaker 2: you know, where they end up in terms of something 842 00:46:21,320 --> 00:46:23,960 Speaker 2: like this, you know, and and that is I think 843 00:46:24,040 --> 00:46:26,000 Speaker 2: too what the movie, Like I said, the movie does 844 00:46:26,000 --> 00:46:30,400 Speaker 2: a really good job of bringing that point up because 845 00:46:31,239 --> 00:46:36,359 Speaker 2: Eileen Warnos was a sex worker because of those conditions 846 00:46:36,719 --> 00:46:39,600 Speaker 2: that she faced in her life, like her economic situations, 847 00:46:39,600 --> 00:46:42,319 Speaker 2: her mental health, like things like that. You know, Uh, 848 00:46:43,440 --> 00:46:45,839 Speaker 2: you know, it was like a perfect storm where bad 849 00:46:45,880 --> 00:46:47,960 Speaker 2: things could have happened for her and then you know 850 00:46:48,000 --> 00:46:51,840 Speaker 2: her reactions to those things is you know what the 851 00:46:51,880 --> 00:46:53,760 Speaker 2: movie's about, ultimately. 852 00:46:53,320 --> 00:46:56,279 Speaker 1: Absolutely and it walks such a I think that this 853 00:46:56,360 --> 00:47:00,719 Speaker 1: movie I loved rewatching it again because like it gives 854 00:47:00,760 --> 00:47:03,160 Speaker 1: me a different emotional response because, like you said, I 855 00:47:03,160 --> 00:47:05,120 Speaker 1: think as I get older and pay attention to more 856 00:47:05,160 --> 00:47:07,759 Speaker 1: things and things become less black and white. I do 857 00:47:07,840 --> 00:47:11,759 Speaker 1: think the movie does an incredible job and this is 858 00:47:11,840 --> 00:47:15,680 Speaker 1: difficult to do, but it does an incredible job of 859 00:47:15,719 --> 00:47:23,400 Speaker 1: moving you through sympathy, empathy, and just being disgusted yeah 860 00:47:23,440 --> 00:47:27,400 Speaker 1: by what you're seeing yep. And it's there are moments 861 00:47:27,400 --> 00:47:29,239 Speaker 1: where you feel all three things at the same time. 862 00:47:30,000 --> 00:47:30,880 Speaker 1: Yea for Eileen. 863 00:47:31,600 --> 00:47:34,160 Speaker 2: Yeah, it's very It's very textured in that way, which 864 00:47:34,200 --> 00:47:37,800 Speaker 2: is what I don't know good art should be doing. 865 00:47:37,960 --> 00:47:41,640 Speaker 2: It should very you know, very textured and with a 866 00:47:41,640 --> 00:47:45,640 Speaker 2: lot of different angles, right, And what I really like 867 00:47:45,640 --> 00:47:47,640 Speaker 2: about this movie so like I don't know about a 868 00:47:47,680 --> 00:47:50,160 Speaker 2: one sense synopsis, I will just say to you that 869 00:47:51,239 --> 00:47:54,920 Speaker 2: this movie is generally about the life of Eileen Warno's 870 00:47:55,040 --> 00:47:58,200 Speaker 2: when she left Michigan, she moves to Florida. She's a 871 00:47:58,239 --> 00:48:01,920 Speaker 2: sex worker. She's calling herself at this moment, and she 872 00:48:02,080 --> 00:48:06,560 Speaker 2: meets somebody. She meets a woman named Selby at a 873 00:48:06,600 --> 00:48:08,919 Speaker 2: gay bar very early on in the movie. Selby's played 874 00:48:08,920 --> 00:48:13,560 Speaker 2: by Christina Ricci. Now, this woman was not a real person. 875 00:48:14,320 --> 00:48:17,759 Speaker 2: It was kind of a inspired by person, somebody who 876 00:48:17,840 --> 00:48:21,880 Speaker 2: was actually in Eileen Warnos's life at one point. To me, 877 00:48:23,440 --> 00:48:26,040 Speaker 2: this is what makes this movie super fascinating is that 878 00:48:26,080 --> 00:48:31,239 Speaker 2: it's about the relationship and it's about like her as 879 00:48:31,280 --> 00:48:35,759 Speaker 2: a person, Eileen Warnos as a person interacting with this 880 00:48:36,040 --> 00:48:39,439 Speaker 2: love that she has. And then again like kind of 881 00:48:39,640 --> 00:48:44,440 Speaker 2: the outside forces of her economic scenario and her you know, 882 00:48:44,520 --> 00:48:47,279 Speaker 2: in her the line of work that she's in, you know, 883 00:48:47,520 --> 00:48:51,520 Speaker 2: coming in and out of this relationship. Right because at 884 00:48:51,560 --> 00:48:55,040 Speaker 2: the beginning of the film, like the Christina Ricci character Selby, 885 00:48:55,600 --> 00:48:59,000 Speaker 2: she's essentially closeted, if I'm not mistaken, Like she's no 886 00:48:59,120 --> 00:49:02,200 Speaker 2: completely living at her family's house, who are completely like 887 00:49:02,200 --> 00:49:05,880 Speaker 2: in denial of who she is. You know, they're religious, 888 00:49:05,920 --> 00:49:09,520 Speaker 2: so her whole thing is totally screwed up because of religion. Like, 889 00:49:09,960 --> 00:49:12,360 Speaker 2: you know, this is to me, I feel like a 890 00:49:12,480 --> 00:49:16,160 Speaker 2: very Southern tale, like in that way. But at the 891 00:49:16,200 --> 00:49:18,640 Speaker 2: same time, you know, Selby's kind of obsessed with like 892 00:49:18,800 --> 00:49:22,399 Speaker 2: romance and love. She's got kind of this like innocence. 893 00:49:23,960 --> 00:49:27,960 Speaker 2: She's kind of reserved and mousey and this kind of stuff. Now, 894 00:49:28,880 --> 00:49:31,160 Speaker 2: we got to talk about Christina Ricci in terms of 895 00:49:31,160 --> 00:49:36,000 Speaker 2: playing his character, right, because I've read several different opinions 896 00:49:36,040 --> 00:49:36,319 Speaker 2: on it. 897 00:49:36,680 --> 00:49:40,960 Speaker 1: Okay, I mean, you know, I don't think it was good. 898 00:49:41,120 --> 00:49:42,920 Speaker 1: I do not think she and I don't think it's 899 00:49:42,960 --> 00:49:45,399 Speaker 1: because Christina Ricci is a bad actress. I like her 900 00:49:45,760 --> 00:49:49,200 Speaker 1: so much and so many things. This for some reason, 901 00:49:49,280 --> 00:49:51,879 Speaker 1: maybe because it wasn't based on a real character when 902 00:49:51,960 --> 00:49:54,200 Speaker 1: so many of the other people in the movie were. 903 00:49:54,840 --> 00:49:57,080 Speaker 1: I think it was probably left to her to decide 904 00:49:57,160 --> 00:49:59,800 Speaker 1: or left to the production to decide, like who should 905 00:49:59,800 --> 00:50:03,719 Speaker 1: this character be? And they kind of aired on the 906 00:50:03,760 --> 00:50:07,560 Speaker 1: side of making her to me a little bit too selfish, 907 00:50:07,680 --> 00:50:08,920 Speaker 1: braddy and childlike. 908 00:50:09,360 --> 00:50:11,799 Speaker 2: Yes, I have to I think I agree with that. 909 00:50:12,040 --> 00:50:14,000 Speaker 1: Yeah, So there were so many times where I'm like, 910 00:50:14,360 --> 00:50:16,920 Speaker 1: and again, it does enhance the love story and looking 911 00:50:16,960 --> 00:50:21,680 Speaker 1: at Eileen Wrenos and Eileen trying to figure out how 912 00:50:21,680 --> 00:50:24,360 Speaker 1: to be a person in love, let alone be in 913 00:50:24,360 --> 00:50:26,560 Speaker 1: love with a woman, which she'd never would never happen 914 00:50:26,560 --> 00:50:30,080 Speaker 1: to her before, and then also being a caretaker, which 915 00:50:30,080 --> 00:50:31,040 Speaker 1: she'd never done before. 916 00:50:31,600 --> 00:50:32,520 Speaker 2: So I think it. 917 00:50:32,640 --> 00:50:36,160 Speaker 1: Served the purpose of amplifying the Aileen Warno's character, But 918 00:50:36,320 --> 00:50:38,800 Speaker 1: I was so annoyed with the Ville. 919 00:50:40,360 --> 00:50:46,440 Speaker 2: Yeah there, I swear. I go back and forth between 920 00:50:47,120 --> 00:50:52,800 Speaker 2: whether or not I think it's cringey or kind of good. 921 00:50:53,040 --> 00:50:55,440 Speaker 2: Like I'm like, is this good? Is this good? Is 922 00:50:55,440 --> 00:50:57,960 Speaker 2: it good that she is the most annoying person on 923 00:50:58,000 --> 00:51:03,160 Speaker 2: the planet? You know, I can't tell? And then and 924 00:51:03,160 --> 00:51:08,279 Speaker 2: then other times I'm like, but like, well, you know 925 00:51:08,320 --> 00:51:11,080 Speaker 2: what I mean, like like this is too weird for me, 926 00:51:11,320 --> 00:51:12,920 Speaker 2: Like it just felt weird to me. And so I 927 00:51:12,920 --> 00:51:14,839 Speaker 2: don't know. I go back and forth about it all 928 00:51:14,880 --> 00:51:17,479 Speaker 2: the time, but I totally see And I got to say, 929 00:51:17,520 --> 00:51:21,600 Speaker 2: like many people I have named that as a criticism 930 00:51:21,640 --> 00:51:25,319 Speaker 2: of the film, if anything, is that that character right, 931 00:51:25,800 --> 00:51:28,239 Speaker 2: and that Christina Ricci may not have played it as 932 00:51:28,280 --> 00:51:32,040 Speaker 2: well as she's capable of in other films, So like, yeah, 933 00:51:32,360 --> 00:51:35,080 Speaker 2: you know, I I totally hear you on this. 934 00:51:36,120 --> 00:51:38,680 Speaker 1: And it's strange too, because it does kind of at 935 00:51:38,719 --> 00:51:42,720 Speaker 1: times pull you out of the action in a frustrating way. 936 00:51:43,719 --> 00:51:48,560 Speaker 1: But again does its job of amplifying what Eileen may 937 00:51:48,600 --> 00:51:50,719 Speaker 1: have been thinking of in that moment or struggling with, 938 00:51:50,760 --> 00:51:52,759 Speaker 1: because it pulls you out of the action enough when 939 00:51:53,040 --> 00:51:55,360 Speaker 1: as a person who does not have the same mental 940 00:51:55,360 --> 00:51:58,799 Speaker 1: health issues Eileen had, it's very clear to be like, 941 00:51:58,960 --> 00:52:02,040 Speaker 1: this is a freeloader. This is someone who doesn't care 942 00:52:02,040 --> 00:52:03,920 Speaker 1: about you. This is someone who might care about you, 943 00:52:03,960 --> 00:52:05,840 Speaker 1: but is doing it in a way that is harming you. 944 00:52:06,600 --> 00:52:09,120 Speaker 1: Get away. So it does serve that purpose of us 945 00:52:09,239 --> 00:52:12,880 Speaker 1: kind of again creating some empathy for Eileen. But it's 946 00:52:13,120 --> 00:52:16,240 Speaker 1: just so hard to watch certain scenes. 947 00:52:16,320 --> 00:52:20,080 Speaker 2: Right and and and this being true at the same 948 00:52:20,160 --> 00:52:24,880 Speaker 2: time as like, there is a moment where you're like, 949 00:52:25,840 --> 00:52:30,640 Speaker 2: you understand, I think as a viewer that Selby is 950 00:52:30,680 --> 00:52:35,920 Speaker 2: not Lee, And and maybe thinks Lee is this like 951 00:52:35,920 --> 00:52:38,480 Speaker 2: like her hero in a way that she's everything that 952 00:52:38,520 --> 00:52:44,319 Speaker 2: she's not. Like Lee is brash, loud, you know, truly herself, 953 00:52:45,680 --> 00:52:49,719 Speaker 2: you know, and lives life in a way that she 954 00:52:49,840 --> 00:52:53,400 Speaker 2: does it like Selby is this, like like she's fucking 955 00:52:53,760 --> 00:52:59,040 Speaker 2: sitting in her shitty white wicker bedroom at her aunt's house, 956 00:52:59,480 --> 00:53:02,560 Speaker 2: like wishing that she could find romance, you know. 957 00:53:02,480 --> 00:53:02,839 Speaker 1: What I mean. 958 00:53:02,840 --> 00:53:03,400 Speaker 2: But she's not. 959 00:53:04,520 --> 00:53:05,680 Speaker 1: She's not active at all. 960 00:53:05,840 --> 00:53:08,759 Speaker 2: She's not active. And Lee is like the personification of 961 00:53:08,800 --> 00:53:12,080 Speaker 2: like a fucking power lesbian that she wants to be, 962 00:53:12,200 --> 00:53:14,719 Speaker 2: you know, she's like being like and so in that 963 00:53:14,760 --> 00:53:17,560 Speaker 2: way you're like, oh, she's like enamorative Lee because she 964 00:53:17,719 --> 00:53:19,360 Speaker 2: you know, Lee is everything she isn't. But at the 965 00:53:19,360 --> 00:53:22,040 Speaker 2: same time, there's that question too of the economics of 966 00:53:22,080 --> 00:53:25,560 Speaker 2: their relationship where it's like, that's why Lee continues to 967 00:53:25,640 --> 00:53:28,799 Speaker 2: do sex work because she feels the pressure of like 968 00:53:29,239 --> 00:53:31,440 Speaker 2: funding their relationship. 969 00:53:31,040 --> 00:53:36,000 Speaker 1: Right absolutely, And it's one of the most powerful scenes. 970 00:53:36,200 --> 00:53:41,560 Speaker 1: Has nothing to do with the crime to me that happens. 971 00:53:41,880 --> 00:53:46,040 Speaker 1: There's this stretch where you're watching Aleen trying kind of 972 00:53:46,040 --> 00:53:48,839 Speaker 1: trying to go straight. She's trying to apply for jobs. Oh, 973 00:53:48,960 --> 00:53:51,919 Speaker 1: she's being really honest with people about Look, I don't 974 00:53:51,960 --> 00:53:54,319 Speaker 1: have a lot of experience. I don't have you know, yes, 975 00:53:54,400 --> 00:53:56,680 Speaker 1: I have a felony on my record. Like just watching 976 00:53:56,719 --> 00:54:00,080 Speaker 1: her struggle and be met with different kinds of resists. 977 00:54:00,320 --> 00:54:02,840 Speaker 1: So sometimes people are kind, but they're like, what, we 978 00:54:02,880 --> 00:54:05,480 Speaker 1: also can't hire you. Sometimes people just want to push 979 00:54:05,480 --> 00:54:07,880 Speaker 1: her through the system, like all right, all you're going 980 00:54:07,920 --> 00:54:09,640 Speaker 1: to get is factory work, and we don't have factory 981 00:54:09,640 --> 00:54:11,120 Speaker 1: work right now because you have fell me on your 982 00:54:11,160 --> 00:54:13,960 Speaker 1: record not listening to her. Then you have people the 983 00:54:13,960 --> 00:54:18,120 Speaker 1: one guy who's just outright fucking cruel to her. And 984 00:54:18,320 --> 00:54:22,880 Speaker 1: just so it's not lost on the viewer, shouldn't be 985 00:54:22,920 --> 00:54:28,520 Speaker 1: lost on the viewer that yes, people have things happen 986 00:54:28,560 --> 00:54:30,960 Speaker 1: in their life that put them in a disadvantage. We 987 00:54:31,080 --> 00:54:33,120 Speaker 1: do not make it easy for them to crawl out 988 00:54:33,160 --> 00:54:36,799 Speaker 1: of that. Yeah, And so watching someone struggle with that 989 00:54:37,040 --> 00:54:39,520 Speaker 1: in this movie, and then again seeing her push to 990 00:54:39,560 --> 00:54:44,399 Speaker 1: a point where she really has no options other than 991 00:54:44,440 --> 00:54:48,640 Speaker 1: to return to sex work, right And I mean obviously 992 00:54:48,719 --> 00:54:51,200 Speaker 1: she did have a choice whether or not to murder people, 993 00:54:51,280 --> 00:54:54,600 Speaker 1: but she but to watch her be pushed from her 994 00:54:54,680 --> 00:54:57,720 Speaker 1: just trying to find someone to give her a small 995 00:54:57,960 --> 00:55:01,560 Speaker 1: chance and then not getting it, it just it was 996 00:55:01,680 --> 00:55:03,440 Speaker 1: it's heartbreaking to me. That's one of the more more 997 00:55:03,520 --> 00:55:04,760 Speaker 1: powerful scenes in the film. 998 00:55:05,000 --> 00:55:08,760 Speaker 2: Oh, it's absolutely. I mean when she you know, basically 999 00:55:08,760 --> 00:55:11,040 Speaker 2: has to go put on her job interview outfit, which 1000 00:55:11,080 --> 00:55:13,000 Speaker 2: is the only thing that she can come up with, 1001 00:55:13,120 --> 00:55:15,799 Speaker 2: you know, and then she has to like you know, 1002 00:55:15,920 --> 00:55:20,200 Speaker 2: basically like talk to men like that, Like she has 1003 00:55:20,280 --> 00:55:22,640 Speaker 2: to essentially beg for a job and a guy treats 1004 00:55:22,640 --> 00:55:24,319 Speaker 2: her like shit. I mean, this is what I mean. 1005 00:55:24,360 --> 00:55:27,080 Speaker 2: It's very textured in terms of like what she is 1006 00:55:27,120 --> 00:55:30,880 Speaker 2: experiencing with these men, right Because then I think the 1007 00:55:30,920 --> 00:55:32,680 Speaker 2: most famous, one of the most famous scenes is an 1008 00:55:32,680 --> 00:55:35,960 Speaker 2: incredibly violent sequence where you know, she's on a job 1009 00:55:36,000 --> 00:55:41,440 Speaker 2: and she is basically viciously attacked by this absolute psychopath 1010 00:55:42,760 --> 00:55:49,600 Speaker 2: client that she has, and she snaps and you're just like, Okay, well, 1011 00:55:51,000 --> 00:55:53,279 Speaker 2: can you blame her? That's kind of the feeling that 1012 00:55:53,320 --> 00:55:55,359 Speaker 2: I had when I watched that part, as like, yeah, 1013 00:55:55,400 --> 00:55:58,160 Speaker 2: can you blame her for anything else that's happening right now? 1014 00:55:58,320 --> 00:56:02,440 Speaker 2: After this? Like it's very like I said, it's a 1015 00:56:02,560 --> 00:56:05,000 Speaker 2: very kind of complicated film in that way, her life 1016 00:56:05,480 --> 00:56:07,800 Speaker 2: in reality was very complicated, and I know people have 1017 00:56:07,840 --> 00:56:10,120 Speaker 2: a lot of opinions about it, so let's just put 1018 00:56:10,120 --> 00:56:13,000 Speaker 2: that out there, like at the end of the day, though, 1019 00:56:14,080 --> 00:56:17,279 Speaker 2: like this, I think the reason why I picked this 1020 00:56:17,320 --> 00:56:20,440 Speaker 2: movie for the theme is because we are talking about, like, 1021 00:56:20,760 --> 00:56:24,280 Speaker 2: you know, women, and the first of all, this movie 1022 00:56:24,719 --> 00:56:26,560 Speaker 2: had to have been made by a woman. It probably 1023 00:56:26,560 --> 00:56:28,400 Speaker 2: had to have been made about Patty Jenkins because she 1024 00:56:28,440 --> 00:56:30,919 Speaker 2: had such a close relationship at the end of it 1025 00:56:30,960 --> 00:56:35,440 Speaker 2: with Eileen, And I mean it is basically like Charlie's 1026 00:56:35,719 --> 00:56:38,600 Speaker 2: like it's like her signature role, like she'll never be 1027 00:56:38,719 --> 00:56:41,439 Speaker 2: forgotten for this, and I think it hits so many 1028 00:56:41,600 --> 00:56:46,239 Speaker 2: notes really well. I absolutely fucking love this movie. Like 1029 00:56:46,320 --> 00:56:49,120 Speaker 2: every time I see it, I like it a little more. 1030 00:56:49,200 --> 00:56:52,399 Speaker 2: Even I feel like, who, like whatever, like I said, 1031 00:56:52,400 --> 00:56:56,160 Speaker 2: whatever instincts or whatever that Charlie's channeling while she's in 1032 00:56:56,200 --> 00:56:58,600 Speaker 2: this character. I mean, you just like literally can't think 1033 00:56:59,520 --> 00:57:02,439 Speaker 2: that she is not that person. I'm just like, how 1034 00:57:02,560 --> 00:57:04,720 Speaker 2: is it? How is she doing it? It's it's really 1035 00:57:05,080 --> 00:57:09,040 Speaker 2: an incredible transformation. That's just not me saying it because 1036 00:57:09,120 --> 00:57:11,319 Speaker 2: she won an Oscar for it. That's like, no, what 1037 00:57:11,360 --> 00:57:14,279 Speaker 2: I actually think. And like, yeah, I mean I love 1038 00:57:14,360 --> 00:57:17,880 Speaker 2: movies like this because they're complicated, because you know, the 1039 00:57:18,000 --> 00:57:21,640 Speaker 2: crime is complicated, the women are complicated. 1040 00:57:21,680 --> 00:57:25,040 Speaker 1: I mean, it's just what you and like you said, 1041 00:57:25,080 --> 00:57:28,080 Speaker 1: it's it's what art is supposed to do. Yeah, and 1042 00:57:29,840 --> 00:57:33,160 Speaker 1: what it's supposed to it's supposed to evoke strong emotions, 1043 00:57:33,280 --> 00:57:36,439 Speaker 1: you know, it's not just meant to be a passive thing. 1044 00:57:37,760 --> 00:57:40,080 Speaker 1: So I just I love and even though the movie 1045 00:57:40,120 --> 00:57:42,800 Speaker 1: is violent, violent, violent, violent in so many scenes like 1046 00:57:42,840 --> 00:57:45,240 Speaker 1: that scene you were just talking about. I fast forward 1047 00:57:45,280 --> 00:57:47,120 Speaker 1: through it every time. I can't watch it. 1048 00:57:47,120 --> 00:57:49,320 Speaker 2: It's hard, and it's gotten to the point where, I mean, 1049 00:57:49,560 --> 00:57:51,800 Speaker 2: I feel bad for saying this about Is his name 1050 00:57:51,880 --> 00:57:56,160 Speaker 2: Lead Turgan, Yeah, yeah, the actor, because he's been in 1051 00:57:56,240 --> 00:57:58,720 Speaker 2: so many things. I mean, so many things are not this. 1052 00:57:59,160 --> 00:58:02,080 Speaker 2: But I mean it's like when you see him, you're like, god, 1053 00:58:02,160 --> 00:58:06,640 Speaker 2: he is so intensely bad. They were just like, he's 1054 00:58:06,640 --> 00:58:08,600 Speaker 2: not that person. He's not that person exactly. 1055 00:58:08,720 --> 00:58:10,720 Speaker 1: It's the talk yourself bad, Like, no, he's just playing 1056 00:58:10,720 --> 00:58:14,120 Speaker 1: a boyfriend right now. Ye, it's so good in that role. 1057 00:58:14,440 --> 00:58:17,000 Speaker 1: But it is. It's hard to take. It's hard to watch. 1058 00:58:17,440 --> 00:58:21,320 Speaker 1: But I appreciate this movie more and more, especially because, 1059 00:58:21,360 --> 00:58:23,200 Speaker 1: like you said, they could have made it just something 1060 00:58:23,280 --> 00:58:26,919 Speaker 1: that was a vanity project. It could have been a joke, 1061 00:58:27,480 --> 00:58:29,920 Speaker 1: and I think they did. They told a real story 1062 00:58:30,440 --> 00:58:32,439 Speaker 1: and gave and gave a real point of view, even 1063 00:58:32,480 --> 00:58:37,440 Speaker 1: if that point of view was that, yes, this is 1064 00:58:37,480 --> 00:58:42,280 Speaker 1: a monster, but consider how she became a monster. I 1065 00:58:42,400 --> 00:58:44,200 Speaker 1: like that it had a point of view. It wasn't 1066 00:58:44,240 --> 00:58:48,160 Speaker 1: just a beat by beat news story kind of situation. 1067 00:58:48,320 --> 00:58:51,520 Speaker 1: It wasn't trying to excuse her behavior. It just kind 1068 00:58:51,520 --> 00:58:53,680 Speaker 1: of lets It's one of those movies that let's the 1069 00:58:53,680 --> 00:58:56,040 Speaker 1: audience decide how to feel, yeah. 1070 00:58:55,840 --> 00:58:58,680 Speaker 2: And then it hones it on this like interpersonal relationship 1071 00:58:58,680 --> 00:59:01,720 Speaker 2: that she had yea that I think told a lot 1072 00:59:01,800 --> 00:59:05,600 Speaker 2: about like her circumstance and the ways that she lived 1073 00:59:05,600 --> 00:59:06,200 Speaker 2: her life. 1074 00:59:07,480 --> 00:59:09,280 Speaker 1: Beautiful. It's a beautiful movie, me. 1075 00:59:09,440 --> 00:59:11,600 Speaker 2: I totally agree. 1076 00:59:16,200 --> 00:59:19,560 Speaker 1: So my film for our theme, sisters are Doing It 1077 00:59:19,600 --> 00:59:23,880 Speaker 1: for Themselves was released in two thousand and two. The 1078 00:59:23,880 --> 00:59:27,720 Speaker 1: screenplays by Leanna Dognini and Lynn Ramsey. It was directed 1079 00:59:27,720 --> 00:59:31,920 Speaker 1: by Lynn Ramsey. My movie is Morvern Collar Well I 1080 00:59:32,000 --> 00:59:34,520 Speaker 1: do books myself. It's got a lot to offer me. 1081 00:59:35,600 --> 00:59:40,920 Speaker 1: I fucking love this movie. I fucking love Lynn Ramsey. 1082 00:59:40,880 --> 00:59:41,080 Speaker 2: Yeah. 1083 00:59:41,120 --> 00:59:44,680 Speaker 1: First first found Lynn Ramsey through Rat Catcher, which came 1084 00:59:44,720 --> 00:59:48,120 Speaker 1: out in nineteen ninety nine, but she's also gone on 1085 00:59:48,200 --> 00:59:50,600 Speaker 1: to do We Need to Talk About Kevin from twenty 1086 00:59:50,640 --> 00:59:53,680 Speaker 1: eleven You Will Never Really Here, and she's working on 1087 00:59:53,720 --> 00:59:57,040 Speaker 1: a pretty intense, cool movie right now, it seems from 1088 00:59:57,200 --> 01:00:01,760 Speaker 1: what I've read. But Lynn Ramsey is an incredible director. 1089 01:00:02,200 --> 01:00:08,280 Speaker 1: She's originally from Glasgow, Scotland, and is just so thoughtful 1090 01:00:08,400 --> 01:00:14,440 Speaker 1: and beautiful and has a real organic way into storytelling 1091 01:00:15,400 --> 01:00:20,040 Speaker 1: that to me, completely catches you off guard. And I 1092 01:00:20,160 --> 01:00:22,000 Speaker 1: like when she kind of starts from a place in 1093 01:00:22,000 --> 01:00:25,560 Speaker 1: this film, especially, she starts from a place of not 1094 01:00:25,640 --> 01:00:29,000 Speaker 1: wanting you to know what's going on, so she's instantly, 1095 01:00:30,040 --> 01:00:33,920 Speaker 1: instantly puts you off kilter with this film. My one 1096 01:00:33,960 --> 01:00:38,240 Speaker 1: sentence synopsis of Marven Koller is, after her partner dies 1097 01:00:38,280 --> 01:00:41,480 Speaker 1: by suicide, a young woman puts her name on his 1098 01:00:41,840 --> 01:00:45,520 Speaker 1: last novel, submits it to a publisher, and changes her 1099 01:00:45,560 --> 01:00:51,120 Speaker 1: life perfect. So again the beginning of this movie, and 1100 01:00:51,160 --> 01:00:54,600 Speaker 1: I highly recommend watching as many Lynn Ramsey movies as 1101 01:00:54,600 --> 01:00:58,080 Speaker 1: you can. She is an incredible director. This might be 1102 01:00:58,120 --> 01:01:00,640 Speaker 1: one of my favorites of her film films, even though 1103 01:01:00,680 --> 01:01:03,840 Speaker 1: again I really love Ratcatcher, but this might be probably 1104 01:01:03,880 --> 01:01:07,400 Speaker 1: my favorite of her films. And in the beginning of 1105 01:01:07,440 --> 01:01:10,560 Speaker 1: the movie, you have no fucking idea what's going on 1106 01:01:10,600 --> 01:01:13,800 Speaker 1: for about twenty minutes, yeah, which is a brave thing 1107 01:01:13,840 --> 01:01:18,000 Speaker 1: to do nowadays, even back then, like even back a 1108 01:01:18,040 --> 01:01:20,800 Speaker 1: brave thing to do to be like, I ain't gonna 1109 01:01:20,800 --> 01:01:24,240 Speaker 1: tell you what's happening here. So there's two people laying 1110 01:01:24,240 --> 01:01:27,320 Speaker 1: on a floor in a small apartment, you know, small, 1111 01:01:27,360 --> 01:01:30,920 Speaker 1: sparse apartment. One of them seems to be clearly dead, 1112 01:01:31,000 --> 01:01:35,360 Speaker 1: but when you first zoom into these shots, it's possible 1113 01:01:35,400 --> 01:01:38,680 Speaker 1: that both of them are dead. And then Morvern caller 1114 01:01:38,840 --> 01:01:44,280 Speaker 1: starts moving. So then after we realize, okay, one person 1115 01:01:44,400 --> 01:01:47,439 Speaker 1: is alive, now we're not sure how this guy died. 1116 01:01:47,480 --> 01:01:50,880 Speaker 1: Does she kill him? What's going on? Like that is 1117 01:01:50,960 --> 01:01:54,760 Speaker 1: left in a very ubiquitous state for at least seven minutes. 1118 01:01:55,160 --> 01:01:57,200 Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, exactly. 1119 01:01:56,880 --> 01:02:01,760 Speaker 1: As she's just walking around the apartment kind of like 1120 01:02:02,080 --> 01:02:05,120 Speaker 1: kind of realizing that this guy is dead, and you're, 1121 01:02:05,120 --> 01:02:07,280 Speaker 1: again you're coming in on the moment of action in 1122 01:02:07,320 --> 01:02:09,520 Speaker 1: a way that you're like, all right, did she was 1123 01:02:09,520 --> 01:02:11,440 Speaker 1: there a fight? Did she kill him? What's happening? What's 1124 01:02:11,480 --> 01:02:14,280 Speaker 1: going on? Is she now trying to reckon with her 1125 01:02:14,280 --> 01:02:16,720 Speaker 1: own actions or is she in shock? Like it's just 1126 01:02:17,560 --> 01:02:20,600 Speaker 1: such an intense way to enter a film. And I 1127 01:02:20,640 --> 01:02:24,000 Speaker 1: appreciate Lynn Ramsey as a writer and Leanna Dugnini as 1128 01:02:24,040 --> 01:02:27,800 Speaker 1: a writer for putting us into the moment of action 1129 01:02:28,480 --> 01:02:33,400 Speaker 1: in this way, because then we do eventually see again 1130 01:02:33,760 --> 01:02:38,640 Speaker 1: minutes later that there is a suicide note that has 1131 01:02:38,680 --> 01:02:44,000 Speaker 1: been left on a computer, and so the title character, 1132 01:02:44,080 --> 01:02:48,000 Speaker 1: Moran Caller, is played by Samantha Morton, who's incredible in 1133 01:02:48,040 --> 01:02:52,960 Speaker 1: this role, so good, absolutely wonderful in this role. And 1134 01:02:53,480 --> 01:02:59,920 Speaker 1: she's looking at this note and what she does directly 1135 01:03:00,120 --> 01:03:05,920 Speaker 1: after is so interesting. So now we're a little bit 1136 01:03:05,960 --> 01:03:09,480 Speaker 1: more placed in the film where this is her partner, 1137 01:03:10,240 --> 01:03:13,720 Speaker 1: this is her husband. He has committed suicide. So now 1138 01:03:13,720 --> 01:03:16,120 Speaker 1: we're kind of with her, right and there's a little 1139 01:03:16,120 --> 01:03:20,080 Speaker 1: bit of sympathy that's garnered in this moment, realizing she's 1140 01:03:20,080 --> 01:03:24,640 Speaker 1: probably in shock. But what she does directly after this 1141 01:03:24,760 --> 01:03:27,160 Speaker 1: moment and for like the next I don't know thirty 1142 01:03:27,200 --> 01:03:31,720 Speaker 1: minutes in the film will challenge your sympathy and will 1143 01:03:31,840 --> 01:03:36,120 Speaker 1: challenge that thought more than you ever thought it could, 1144 01:03:36,680 --> 01:03:38,960 Speaker 1: which is again to me, the beauty of this film 1145 01:03:39,400 --> 01:03:44,480 Speaker 1: is you start off confused, you finally reach a moment 1146 01:03:44,520 --> 01:03:46,960 Speaker 1: of relief where you feel like, I know what's happening. 1147 01:03:47,080 --> 01:03:50,120 Speaker 1: She is shocked, she is sad, and then you watch 1148 01:03:50,120 --> 01:03:55,160 Speaker 1: her make a series of decisions that are so fucking wild. Yeah, 1149 01:03:55,200 --> 01:03:58,960 Speaker 1: and it will challenge that sympathetic muscle or that sympathetic 1150 01:03:59,160 --> 01:04:06,080 Speaker 1: urge every step of the way. So right after she 1151 01:04:06,920 --> 01:04:09,960 Speaker 1: reads the suicide note, she just walks down to a 1152 01:04:09,960 --> 01:04:13,920 Speaker 1: train station. And it's also a very quiet film, so 1153 01:04:14,240 --> 01:04:17,840 Speaker 1: there's no sound. There's no talking in this film for 1154 01:04:17,880 --> 01:04:22,320 Speaker 1: like the first ten minutes. Yeah, so again you're really 1155 01:04:22,400 --> 01:04:25,200 Speaker 1: left on your own in a way, and we're not 1156 01:04:25,240 --> 01:04:28,720 Speaker 1: even sure where in the world this is happening, right, 1157 01:04:28,800 --> 01:04:31,760 Speaker 1: And then Morvern starts talking into the phone the phone ring. 1158 01:04:31,840 --> 01:04:34,120 Speaker 1: She's like, near this phone bank at the train station. 1159 01:04:34,160 --> 01:04:36,080 Speaker 1: The phone ring. She picks it up. We hear a 1160 01:04:36,080 --> 01:04:39,040 Speaker 1: Scottish accent. They're like, okay, she's in Scotland. And then 1161 01:04:39,040 --> 01:04:41,520 Speaker 1: she has this one sided conversation where you learn that 1162 01:04:41,560 --> 01:04:45,640 Speaker 1: it's also Christmas time, and she talks to the person 1163 01:04:45,680 --> 01:04:48,160 Speaker 1: on the phone. She doesn't seem to break down, she 1164 01:04:48,200 --> 01:04:52,080 Speaker 1: doesn't seem at all put out. Hanks up the phone, 1165 01:04:52,120 --> 01:04:56,880 Speaker 1: goes back to the apartment. She opens her Christmas presence, 1166 01:04:58,480 --> 01:05:00,720 Speaker 1: one of them, which is a first. These are all 1167 01:05:00,800 --> 01:05:02,920 Speaker 1: Christmas presents from her dead husband, who is still on 1168 01:05:02,960 --> 01:05:06,320 Speaker 1: the floor, and it's like a new leather jacket, a lighter, 1169 01:05:06,440 --> 01:05:09,480 Speaker 1: a mixtape, all items that become crucial to the rest 1170 01:05:09,480 --> 01:05:14,640 Speaker 1: of the film. Then she takes a bath and puts 1171 01:05:14,680 --> 01:05:17,680 Speaker 1: on makeup and paints her nails and goes out to 1172 01:05:17,840 --> 01:05:20,360 Speaker 1: the pub. So you're starting to wonder, is this shock 1173 01:05:20,640 --> 01:05:23,360 Speaker 1: or indecision or is it something else happening here? 1174 01:05:23,880 --> 01:05:24,200 Speaker 2: Right? 1175 01:05:25,680 --> 01:05:28,280 Speaker 1: Right? So then she takes at right as she's right 1176 01:05:28,320 --> 01:05:29,920 Speaker 1: before she goes out to the pub, she takes the 1177 01:05:29,920 --> 01:05:33,000 Speaker 1: money out of her dead husband's pocket and just leaves 1178 01:05:33,080 --> 01:05:36,960 Speaker 1: him there. So again, is this anger? Is she pissed 1179 01:05:36,960 --> 01:05:38,720 Speaker 1: off that he killed himself? If she pissed off that 1180 01:05:38,760 --> 01:05:41,760 Speaker 1: he did it at Christmas? Like, what is happening here? Is? 1181 01:05:42,160 --> 01:05:43,640 Speaker 2: You know, there was a part of me that wondered 1182 01:05:43,680 --> 01:05:48,920 Speaker 2: this time if she like she just like didn't want 1183 01:05:48,960 --> 01:05:53,000 Speaker 2: to admit that he was gone, and then she kind 1184 01:05:53,000 --> 01:05:56,560 Speaker 2: of wanted to just keep the body around, right, you know, 1185 01:05:56,800 --> 01:06:01,040 Speaker 2: because she felt like some kind of weird comfort from that. 1186 01:06:01,080 --> 01:06:04,400 Speaker 2: I mean, it's very complicated, as you can imagine. 1187 01:06:04,040 --> 01:06:07,840 Speaker 1: It's very strange. And then again, because of these actions, 1188 01:06:07,880 --> 01:06:10,800 Speaker 1: you're wondering, did she kill him and make it look 1189 01:06:10,880 --> 01:06:15,640 Speaker 1: like a suicide exactly? Like you're still going back and forth, 1190 01:06:15,680 --> 01:06:19,840 Speaker 1: like nothing is set in stone with this inciting incident. 1191 01:06:20,960 --> 01:06:22,600 Speaker 1: So she goes out to the pub, where we meet 1192 01:06:23,000 --> 01:06:25,400 Speaker 1: another person who's going to become crucial to the film, 1193 01:06:25,560 --> 01:06:29,040 Speaker 1: her friend Lana who she works with at a grocery store. 1194 01:06:29,240 --> 01:06:32,840 Speaker 1: They're both store clerks, and Lana's played by Kathleen McDermott. 1195 01:06:33,720 --> 01:06:36,720 Speaker 1: And she just meets up and asks, you know, hey, 1196 01:06:36,720 --> 01:06:39,760 Speaker 1: where's your husband? And Morvern says he's not coming. He's 1197 01:06:39,760 --> 01:06:42,200 Speaker 1: being weird tonight, and she's like wearing her new jacket, 1198 01:06:42,200 --> 01:06:45,960 Speaker 1: flicking her new lighter, listening to her mixtape. So she 1199 01:06:46,040 --> 01:06:49,240 Speaker 1: goes out and has a night. She does drugs, she's drinking. 1200 01:06:49,880 --> 01:06:53,120 Speaker 1: She keeps telling everyone whenever anyone asks where her husband is, 1201 01:06:53,160 --> 01:06:55,360 Speaker 1: she says he's at home in the kitchen, which is 1202 01:06:55,400 --> 01:07:00,600 Speaker 1: not a lie but leaves out crucial info. Yeah, she's 1203 01:07:00,680 --> 01:07:03,000 Speaker 1: also flirting a little bit with guys at a pub, 1204 01:07:03,360 --> 01:07:05,400 Speaker 1: and then she goes to this house party and it's 1205 01:07:05,400 --> 01:07:07,880 Speaker 1: a wild house party and there's a bonfire, and there's 1206 01:07:07,880 --> 01:07:10,280 Speaker 1: an indication that she has like a threesome with Lana 1207 01:07:10,320 --> 01:07:13,600 Speaker 1: and one of the guys at the party, And so 1208 01:07:14,160 --> 01:07:17,600 Speaker 1: again we're thrown into this action of like, what is 1209 01:07:17,640 --> 01:07:19,800 Speaker 1: going to happen? Is the whole movie going to be 1210 01:07:19,840 --> 01:07:22,400 Speaker 1: about her trying to figure out what to do with 1211 01:07:22,440 --> 01:07:25,920 Speaker 1: the body? Right? Is that the emotional crux of the 1212 01:07:25,920 --> 01:07:27,560 Speaker 1: film is what is she when is she going to 1213 01:07:28,200 --> 01:07:30,800 Speaker 1: deal with the fact that her husband is dead in 1214 01:07:30,840 --> 01:07:35,000 Speaker 1: their bodies and his body's in their apartment. And there 1215 01:07:35,040 --> 01:07:37,680 Speaker 1: are some moments that again kind of give us a 1216 01:07:37,680 --> 01:07:40,680 Speaker 1: little bit of backstory into Morvern. But like, what I 1217 01:07:40,760 --> 01:07:43,200 Speaker 1: love about this character is also is that it's easy 1218 01:07:43,240 --> 01:07:46,080 Speaker 1: for us to be put right into the middle of 1219 01:07:46,080 --> 01:07:47,800 Speaker 1: the action with her because we don't really know much 1220 01:07:47,800 --> 01:07:50,920 Speaker 1: about her backstory and we never really will. So we 1221 01:07:51,000 --> 01:07:52,840 Speaker 1: know that she had a foster mother at some point 1222 01:07:52,880 --> 01:07:55,400 Speaker 1: because she points out to Lana where her foster mother 1223 01:07:55,520 --> 01:07:58,480 Speaker 1: is buried, but we don't know much about her childhood 1224 01:07:58,560 --> 01:08:00,680 Speaker 1: or her life, which are a crucial things, as we 1225 01:08:00,760 --> 01:08:04,520 Speaker 1: learn in watching Monster, which are crucial things to understanding 1226 01:08:05,480 --> 01:08:07,400 Speaker 1: how someone becomes the kind of person who would leave 1227 01:08:07,400 --> 01:08:09,720 Speaker 1: a dead body in an apartment for a long time. 1228 01:08:09,880 --> 01:08:11,200 Speaker 2: That's right, that's right. 1229 01:08:11,240 --> 01:08:13,280 Speaker 1: And we don't ever get to know those things. So 1230 01:08:13,320 --> 01:08:15,120 Speaker 1: she leaves with Lana. There's a scene where she's at 1231 01:08:15,160 --> 01:08:17,800 Speaker 1: Lana's grandmother's house and they take a bath together. They're 1232 01:08:17,800 --> 01:08:21,880 Speaker 1: having a foot cigarette moment. Yeah, there's lots lots of 1233 01:08:21,960 --> 01:08:24,559 Speaker 1: bathing in this movie, right, Like lots of bathing and 1234 01:08:24,600 --> 01:08:26,920 Speaker 1: lots of imagery of bugs. So there's like an a 1235 01:08:27,000 --> 01:08:33,040 Speaker 1: dirt and cleanliness subtext of this film. Very good observation, right, 1236 01:08:33,240 --> 01:08:36,240 Speaker 1: And then she finally tells Lana that something bad has happened, 1237 01:08:36,240 --> 01:08:38,360 Speaker 1: but she doesn't actually tell her the truth. All she 1238 01:08:38,400 --> 01:08:42,400 Speaker 1: says is that her husband left her, like it's gone, 1239 01:08:42,520 --> 01:08:46,040 Speaker 1: he's gone for good and it's bad. And his body 1240 01:08:46,479 --> 01:08:48,679 Speaker 1: we go back to the apartment, his body is still 1241 01:08:48,760 --> 01:08:52,320 Speaker 1: on the floor under the blinking Christmas tree lights while 1242 01:08:52,360 --> 01:08:56,920 Speaker 1: she's listening to this mixtape smoking cigarette. Seems to be 1243 01:08:56,960 --> 01:09:00,280 Speaker 1: having kind of a good time. And one thing about 1244 01:09:00,280 --> 01:09:02,200 Speaker 1: this part of the film is again you have no 1245 01:09:02,240 --> 01:09:04,360 Speaker 1: idea what her childhood was like, but you also have 1246 01:09:04,439 --> 01:09:07,400 Speaker 1: no idea what her emotional life is, so you have 1247 01:09:07,439 --> 01:09:10,439 Speaker 1: no clue what she's thinking at any point and up 1248 01:09:10,439 --> 01:09:13,040 Speaker 1: to this point in the film. And you also have 1249 01:09:13,120 --> 01:09:15,519 Speaker 1: no idea what her marriage was like, like what was 1250 01:09:15,520 --> 01:09:19,840 Speaker 1: that relationship like? So it becomes very it's what I love. 1251 01:09:20,040 --> 01:09:21,720 Speaker 1: Something I also I love about this film is that 1252 01:09:21,760 --> 01:09:24,360 Speaker 1: it's a one sided film. But in a lot of 1253 01:09:24,520 --> 01:09:28,360 Speaker 1: films where they introduced an unreliable narrator, it's very clear 1254 01:09:28,400 --> 01:09:31,719 Speaker 1: that the narrator is unreliable. In this instance, I think 1255 01:09:32,400 --> 01:09:35,240 Speaker 1: you don't ever really know what's going on with the narrator, right, 1256 01:09:35,680 --> 01:09:38,240 Speaker 1: And that's a really hard thing to write and a 1257 01:09:38,400 --> 01:09:42,559 Speaker 1: very hard thing to elicit emotion from, right, But they 1258 01:09:42,640 --> 01:09:46,120 Speaker 1: managed to do it because it's not clear cut that 1259 01:09:46,320 --> 01:09:49,360 Speaker 1: Morvan Color is an unreliable narrator. It's a she is 1260 01:09:49,400 --> 01:09:52,240 Speaker 1: a complicated woman, right. 1261 01:09:52,800 --> 01:09:56,599 Speaker 2: That again, like I very similarly to my movie Maybe, 1262 01:09:56,760 --> 01:10:01,120 Speaker 2: is sort of like you're in a You're you're basically 1263 01:10:01,120 --> 01:10:07,440 Speaker 2: as a viewer sitting there wondering what are the actions 1264 01:10:07,479 --> 01:10:11,720 Speaker 2: that come from this traumatic scenario that she's been in, 1265 01:10:12,200 --> 01:10:16,160 Speaker 2: which is that she her dead boyfriend is in front 1266 01:10:16,160 --> 01:10:19,400 Speaker 2: of her, in her in their apartment, right, and that 1267 01:10:19,600 --> 01:10:21,160 Speaker 2: he possibly unlived himself. 1268 01:10:21,240 --> 01:10:21,400 Speaker 1: Right. 1269 01:10:21,560 --> 01:10:25,720 Speaker 2: So it's that feeling of like, yes, but by like 1270 01:10:25,760 --> 01:10:31,919 Speaker 2: maybe normal standards, the reaction of that is not matching 1271 01:10:33,200 --> 01:10:36,080 Speaker 2: with what's what you know she's doing for the rest 1272 01:10:36,080 --> 01:10:40,719 Speaker 2: of the film. But how is it informed informing those actions? 1273 01:10:40,960 --> 01:10:43,519 Speaker 2: And it's not a black and white like grief is 1274 01:10:43,560 --> 01:10:46,280 Speaker 2: not black and white either, right, So it's the thing 1275 01:10:46,320 --> 01:10:48,479 Speaker 2: where you're just like, I don't know. I think that 1276 01:10:48,479 --> 01:10:50,040 Speaker 2: that's what both of these movies do this week, is 1277 01:10:50,040 --> 01:10:53,599 Speaker 2: that they're sort of like saying, you know, what are 1278 01:10:53,600 --> 01:11:00,400 Speaker 2: the reactions of women face with unspeakable trauma or sorrow? Right? 1279 01:11:00,800 --> 01:11:03,280 Speaker 2: You know, how do we judge what they do after? 1280 01:11:03,720 --> 01:11:07,880 Speaker 1: You know, absolutely absolutely, because this is a really traumatic moment. Yeah, 1281 01:11:07,960 --> 01:11:10,120 Speaker 1: it's a very traumatic thing, no matter what we know 1282 01:11:10,280 --> 01:11:11,559 Speaker 1: or don't know about her life. 1283 01:11:12,080 --> 01:11:14,320 Speaker 2: And if she was the cause of it or not. 1284 01:11:14,439 --> 01:11:16,600 Speaker 2: I mean that's still up in the air. Obviously we 1285 01:11:16,680 --> 01:11:17,519 Speaker 2: talked about that. 1286 01:11:17,439 --> 01:11:19,479 Speaker 1: So like the cause of it, and that maybe she 1287 01:11:19,560 --> 01:11:20,360 Speaker 1: killed him or that. 1288 01:11:20,560 --> 01:11:23,280 Speaker 2: Yeah, or that like something, you know, something happened, maybe 1289 01:11:23,280 --> 01:11:25,360 Speaker 2: they got into a fight and was an accident. It's like, 1290 01:11:25,400 --> 01:11:28,080 Speaker 2: you know, it's unclear. 1291 01:11:28,240 --> 01:11:30,840 Speaker 1: And again, we will never know what his emotional life 1292 01:11:30,960 --> 01:11:32,840 Speaker 1: was or what he was thinking. And I think that 1293 01:11:32,960 --> 01:11:34,880 Speaker 1: is a This is one of the most brilliant ways 1294 01:11:34,920 --> 01:11:38,840 Speaker 1: that I've ever seen suicide depicted on film because it 1295 01:11:38,920 --> 01:11:41,559 Speaker 1: feels true, which is that you will never get to 1296 01:11:41,600 --> 01:11:44,880 Speaker 1: know why, what happened, what he was thinking. He is 1297 01:11:45,000 --> 01:11:49,040 Speaker 1: not even part of the equation. He's taking himself completely 1298 01:11:49,080 --> 01:11:51,120 Speaker 1: out of the equation, and you don't get to know that. 1299 01:11:51,240 --> 01:11:54,719 Speaker 1: So you really get to see that land on her. Yeah, 1300 01:11:54,760 --> 01:11:57,720 Speaker 1: the uncertainty and the cruelty of that act lands on 1301 01:11:57,800 --> 01:12:02,360 Speaker 1: her by the fact by it's brilliant. It's brilliant, and 1302 01:12:02,400 --> 01:12:04,599 Speaker 1: she kind of, you know, she's floating around this apartment, 1303 01:12:04,680 --> 01:12:07,679 Speaker 1: and there's a moment where she goes back to Lana's 1304 01:12:07,720 --> 01:12:10,679 Speaker 1: grandmother's house, even though Lanna isn't there. And it's weird 1305 01:12:10,720 --> 01:12:14,960 Speaker 1: because it's clear that she has no family to call 1306 01:12:15,400 --> 01:12:17,120 Speaker 1: in this moment, like it's clear she has no one 1307 01:12:17,120 --> 01:12:20,240 Speaker 1: else to go to. She doesn't tell the grandmother or anything, 1308 01:12:20,400 --> 01:12:22,640 Speaker 1: but she really kind of indulges in taking care of 1309 01:12:22,680 --> 01:12:26,439 Speaker 1: this woman, which I think is an interesting side to 1310 01:12:26,479 --> 01:12:28,760 Speaker 1: see of someone who up to this point has just 1311 01:12:28,800 --> 01:12:32,400 Speaker 1: been kind of cold, yeah, and not emotional at all, 1312 01:12:32,400 --> 01:12:33,760 Speaker 1: so that we're starting to see a little bit of 1313 01:12:33,760 --> 01:12:37,000 Speaker 1: a motion leak in. She goes back home again, we 1314 01:12:37,040 --> 01:12:39,160 Speaker 1: think she's finally gonna deal with this body, right, Nope, 1315 01:12:39,160 --> 01:12:42,600 Speaker 1: she makes a frozen pizza. She does clean up some 1316 01:12:42,720 --> 01:12:46,200 Speaker 1: of the blood with toilet paper, but then she is 1317 01:12:46,240 --> 01:12:49,439 Speaker 1: just leaping over his body while she's making a frozen pizza. 1318 01:12:49,520 --> 01:12:52,240 Speaker 1: So now you're thinking, has she completely disassociated from what 1319 01:12:52,360 --> 01:12:57,200 Speaker 1: is happening in this apartment. Then we're going to go 1320 01:12:57,280 --> 01:12:59,400 Speaker 1: back to the note and I'm going to read you 1321 01:12:59,479 --> 01:13:02,600 Speaker 1: the note, because I think the note also gives some 1322 01:13:02,680 --> 01:13:06,680 Speaker 1: indication as to why and what has happened. So in 1323 01:13:06,760 --> 01:13:11,559 Speaker 1: this note, her husband, James Gillespie says, sorry, Morvern, don't 1324 01:13:11,560 --> 01:13:14,519 Speaker 1: try to understand it just felt like the right thing 1325 01:13:14,600 --> 01:13:17,800 Speaker 1: to do. My novel is on the disc. Print it 1326 01:13:17,800 --> 01:13:20,240 Speaker 1: out and send it to the first publisher on this list. 1327 01:13:20,680 --> 01:13:23,360 Speaker 1: If they will not take it, try the next one down. 1328 01:13:23,880 --> 01:13:27,160 Speaker 1: I wrote it for you. I love you, Be brave. 1329 01:13:27,920 --> 01:13:30,680 Speaker 1: I left money in the bank for the funeral. The 1330 01:13:30,720 --> 01:13:33,639 Speaker 1: card is in the drawer. You know the code keep 1331 01:13:33,680 --> 01:13:38,840 Speaker 1: the music for yourself. So remember she read this note 1332 01:13:38,880 --> 01:13:40,840 Speaker 1: early on. We've seen her already read this note. So 1333 01:13:40,880 --> 01:13:42,800 Speaker 1: when she goes back to the note after we've seen 1334 01:13:42,840 --> 01:13:45,479 Speaker 1: all these actions that she's taken and moving through her 1335 01:13:45,479 --> 01:13:48,880 Speaker 1: life and trying to maintain some normalcy, she's kind of 1336 01:13:48,880 --> 01:13:52,559 Speaker 1: following his instructions, not in the way that I think 1337 01:13:52,600 --> 01:13:55,680 Speaker 1: he thought she would, but she really is trying to 1338 01:13:55,720 --> 01:13:58,240 Speaker 1: be brave, I think, and go out in the world 1339 01:13:58,400 --> 01:14:01,559 Speaker 1: and not deal with this and figure out what she's 1340 01:14:01,600 --> 01:14:05,880 Speaker 1: gonna do. But the important things to note about this 1341 01:14:06,000 --> 01:14:07,880 Speaker 1: letter is that he has left her a lot of money, 1342 01:14:08,040 --> 01:14:10,080 Speaker 1: or there's a lot of money for them, you know, 1343 01:14:10,120 --> 01:14:12,559 Speaker 1: for their situation, it seems to be a lot of money. 1344 01:14:13,320 --> 01:14:17,000 Speaker 1: It's about like four thousand pounds. He's already planned for 1345 01:14:17,040 --> 01:14:23,439 Speaker 1: his own funeral, and he's given her this book to sell. 1346 01:14:25,520 --> 01:14:29,000 Speaker 1: So this is why what happens next becomes crucial. And 1347 01:14:29,040 --> 01:14:30,639 Speaker 1: I'm not going to give away too much more after 1348 01:14:30,680 --> 01:14:33,000 Speaker 1: this point, but I will tell you that she does 1349 01:14:33,040 --> 01:14:36,040 Speaker 1: deal with the body and the way that she deals 1350 01:14:36,080 --> 01:14:38,320 Speaker 1: with it. After she's been you know, kind of half 1351 01:14:38,360 --> 01:14:40,960 Speaker 1: ass cleaning up and half ass bring air freshener around, 1352 01:14:41,960 --> 01:14:46,920 Speaker 1: she takes the money out of the bank. She books 1353 01:14:47,000 --> 01:14:50,120 Speaker 1: a vacation for herself and Lana at a resort in Spain, 1354 01:14:51,400 --> 01:14:56,519 Speaker 1: tells Lana don't worry about the money, goes home. James's 1355 01:14:56,520 --> 01:15:01,640 Speaker 1: body is now in the bathtub, and more of proceeds 1356 01:15:01,720 --> 01:15:05,120 Speaker 1: to put on sunglasses, tape a walkman to her body, 1357 01:15:05,640 --> 01:15:09,519 Speaker 1: and starts to cut up his body. And then she 1358 01:15:09,520 --> 01:15:12,320 Speaker 1: puts his body in a bag, hikes to a desolate 1359 01:15:12,360 --> 01:15:16,040 Speaker 1: area and buries him using only a trowel, I might add, 1360 01:15:17,720 --> 01:15:25,080 Speaker 1: and then goes on holiday with Lana. Then she goes home, 1361 01:15:25,320 --> 01:15:30,679 Speaker 1: prints out his book, erases his name, puts her name 1362 01:15:32,200 --> 01:15:35,759 Speaker 1: as the writer of the book as the author prints 1363 01:15:35,800 --> 01:15:38,320 Speaker 1: it out mails it to the first publisher on the list. 1364 01:15:40,360 --> 01:15:41,760 Speaker 1: So at this point in the movie, you're like, is 1365 01:15:41,800 --> 01:15:44,760 Speaker 1: she evil? Is she deranged? What is she thinking? There 1366 01:15:44,760 --> 01:15:47,280 Speaker 1: are moments where her handshake and her legs shake it 1367 01:15:47,320 --> 01:15:52,120 Speaker 1: odd moments. There's again that subtext of cleanliness and dirt 1368 01:15:52,280 --> 01:15:55,960 Speaker 1: and worms. And after this, all she sort of focused 1369 01:15:56,000 --> 01:16:00,880 Speaker 1: on is her own happiness. So it's a very strange 1370 01:16:01,040 --> 01:16:04,200 Speaker 1: and the Spain portion of the film is interesting in 1371 01:16:04,240 --> 01:16:07,480 Speaker 1: its own right. There's so much to discuss there. Yeah, 1372 01:16:07,720 --> 01:16:10,080 Speaker 1: you know, Lana kind of comes over and you know, 1373 01:16:10,080 --> 01:16:12,800 Speaker 1: they're listening to music and preparing for the trip and 1374 01:16:12,840 --> 01:16:16,719 Speaker 1: doing drugs, and Lana reveals that she actually slept with James, 1375 01:16:16,760 --> 01:16:18,760 Speaker 1: so she's like, you know, they don't even know if 1376 01:16:18,760 --> 01:16:20,519 Speaker 1: they're going to go on the trip at one point, 1377 01:16:21,200 --> 01:16:24,200 Speaker 1: and you know, Morvern gets a letter from the publisher 1378 01:16:24,240 --> 01:16:25,840 Speaker 1: saying they want to publish the book, so they end 1379 01:16:25,920 --> 01:16:28,679 Speaker 1: up going on the trip. But this but the Spain 1380 01:16:28,720 --> 01:16:31,520 Speaker 1: part is just basically her kind of trying to rectify 1381 01:16:31,880 --> 01:16:34,000 Speaker 1: I'm on vacation with a friend of mine who slept 1382 01:16:34,000 --> 01:16:37,200 Speaker 1: with my husband who's killed himself. Nobody knows he's killed himself. 1383 01:16:37,240 --> 01:16:39,240 Speaker 1: I've dispose of his body so no one will ever 1384 01:16:39,280 --> 01:16:43,040 Speaker 1: know that he killed himself. I've stolen his money, I've 1385 01:16:43,080 --> 01:16:47,559 Speaker 1: stolen his novel that is going to be published, and 1386 01:16:47,960 --> 01:16:50,160 Speaker 1: now I'm just in Spain. So it's just a very 1387 01:16:50,200 --> 01:16:53,559 Speaker 1: interesting mix of her like partying and meeting guys and 1388 01:16:53,680 --> 01:16:56,439 Speaker 1: clubbing and drinking and doing drugs and you know, getting 1389 01:16:56,640 --> 01:16:59,400 Speaker 1: suck at a town with a festival and losing luggage 1390 01:16:59,479 --> 01:17:02,280 Speaker 1: and getting lost in the middle of nowhere and meeting 1391 01:17:02,360 --> 01:17:05,200 Speaker 1: the publishers. But in between all of these moments where 1392 01:17:05,200 --> 01:17:07,720 Speaker 1: you're watching her kind of come to life, because we've 1393 01:17:07,720 --> 01:17:10,960 Speaker 1: seen her in such a stunted, weird position throughout the film, 1394 01:17:11,479 --> 01:17:13,639 Speaker 1: you're watching her come to life. But all you can 1395 01:17:13,680 --> 01:17:18,879 Speaker 1: really think of is how deceptively she decided, how deception 1396 01:17:19,080 --> 01:17:25,280 Speaker 1: was the key to her changing her life, and like 1397 01:17:25,520 --> 01:17:28,559 Speaker 1: looking at the options a young woman has in the 1398 01:17:28,560 --> 01:17:31,840 Speaker 1: world in the weirdest possible way, like I would never think, oh, Like, 1399 01:17:31,840 --> 01:17:33,599 Speaker 1: what is the young woman's options in the world. If 1400 01:17:33,600 --> 01:17:35,519 Speaker 1: she's working at a supermarket and wants to get by 1401 01:17:35,760 --> 01:17:37,920 Speaker 1: that her husband commits suicide, she steals his money and 1402 01:17:37,920 --> 01:17:41,680 Speaker 1: takes his novel, Like would never think that, But it 1403 01:17:41,720 --> 01:17:44,800 Speaker 1: is again because of the subject matter and the way 1404 01:17:44,840 --> 01:17:47,519 Speaker 1: into the film and how we are introduced to this character, 1405 01:17:48,560 --> 01:17:51,920 Speaker 1: it presents a very complicated emotional landscape. As you're watching, 1406 01:17:52,080 --> 01:17:53,760 Speaker 1: you don't know if you should root for her. You 1407 01:17:53,800 --> 01:17:57,040 Speaker 1: don't know if you're expecting her to be caught and 1408 01:17:57,080 --> 01:17:58,840 Speaker 1: if you want her to be caught. You don't know 1409 01:17:58,960 --> 01:18:02,160 Speaker 1: if you kind of love that she had the balls 1410 01:18:02,240 --> 01:18:05,120 Speaker 1: to do this, or if it's fucking strange that she 1411 01:18:05,520 --> 01:18:07,600 Speaker 1: So this is these are the actions she decided to 1412 01:18:07,640 --> 01:18:10,760 Speaker 1: take because she's totally out of step with society, like 1413 01:18:10,840 --> 01:18:13,200 Speaker 1: this is again, what's wild about watching her in Spain 1414 01:18:13,360 --> 01:18:15,760 Speaker 1: is like you're watching someone who has just gone through 1415 01:18:15,760 --> 01:18:20,040 Speaker 1: a traumatic event, put themselves through a traumatic event, committed 1416 01:18:20,160 --> 01:18:25,200 Speaker 1: crimes multiple but is also now trying to rejoin society 1417 01:18:25,720 --> 01:18:28,920 Speaker 1: after this series of events that she's been part of. 1418 01:18:29,080 --> 01:18:33,880 Speaker 1: So it's a very interesting, strange movie about a woman 1419 01:18:33,920 --> 01:18:37,679 Speaker 1: who's taken shit into her own hands, yeah, and trying 1420 01:18:37,720 --> 01:18:44,160 Speaker 1: to jumpstart her life herself or maybe even destroy her 1421 01:18:44,200 --> 01:18:45,120 Speaker 1: life and herself. 1422 01:18:45,640 --> 01:18:48,960 Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, there's I mean, listen, I feel like every 1423 01:18:49,880 --> 01:18:52,439 Speaker 2: I cannot help but think that this movie. I mean, 1424 01:18:52,479 --> 01:18:56,280 Speaker 2: trust me, there have been movies in the past and 1425 01:18:56,439 --> 01:19:01,880 Speaker 2: all throughout film history really, especially in the seventies on 1426 01:19:02,880 --> 01:19:08,040 Speaker 2: where you have a scenario in which a woman is 1427 01:19:08,120 --> 01:19:15,760 Speaker 2: reacting dispassionately towards some pain or trauma she's experiencing. Right, 1428 01:19:17,439 --> 01:19:20,880 Speaker 2: I mean, it's kind of like a Wanda Barbara Lodin 1429 01:19:21,080 --> 01:19:23,840 Speaker 2: type of scenario. Like, I mean you start from there 1430 01:19:23,840 --> 01:19:26,000 Speaker 2: and there, you know, you go to you know, I 1431 01:19:26,040 --> 01:19:31,560 Speaker 2: don't know, ordinary people. You know, there's many female characters 1432 01:19:32,160 --> 01:19:35,640 Speaker 2: in films that have reacted like this, where it's this, 1433 01:19:36,000 --> 01:19:38,800 Speaker 2: like something bad happened to her, and like there is 1434 01:19:38,840 --> 01:19:42,000 Speaker 2: no this is the way she reacts. She reacts in 1435 01:19:42,080 --> 01:19:43,960 Speaker 2: questionable ways towards her own pain. 1436 01:19:44,680 --> 01:19:45,000 Speaker 1: Right. 1437 01:19:45,720 --> 01:19:47,679 Speaker 2: The thing I think is really interesting about this film 1438 01:19:47,720 --> 01:19:53,240 Speaker 2: is that it's so stylistically important that I feel like 1439 01:19:53,720 --> 01:19:57,240 Speaker 2: it set the table for what we sort of see now. 1440 01:19:57,280 --> 01:20:00,800 Speaker 2: And I keep using euphoria sort of like a a comparison. 1441 01:20:00,840 --> 01:20:03,200 Speaker 2: I don't really know, but like now we see this 1442 01:20:03,280 --> 01:20:06,880 Speaker 2: a lot where you see female characters who are not 1443 01:20:07,160 --> 01:20:12,800 Speaker 2: who are dissociated from their lives in some way, you know, 1444 01:20:13,680 --> 01:20:17,760 Speaker 2: mostly due to pain, trauma, whatever. And then it's sort 1445 01:20:17,800 --> 01:20:21,920 Speaker 2: of like this beautiful Like there's a lot of like 1446 01:20:22,080 --> 01:20:24,240 Speaker 2: audio tricks that are being used in this film, and 1447 01:20:24,240 --> 01:20:26,439 Speaker 2: I know, like lim Ramsay's kind of known for that, 1448 01:20:26,880 --> 01:20:28,920 Speaker 2: but I keep looking at this movie going, oh man, 1449 01:20:28,960 --> 01:20:30,960 Speaker 2: this is like everything that happens right now. This is 1450 01:20:31,000 --> 01:20:34,840 Speaker 2: like every you know, Netflix show about young people is that. 1451 01:20:34,880 --> 01:20:37,439 Speaker 2: This is the way.

But like that's you know, 1471 01:21:50,800 --> 01:21:53,320 Speaker 2: part of it is that she's listening to this mixtape 1472 01:21:54,600 --> 01:21:58,320 Speaker 2: that was left by her dead husband. So there's reasons 1473 01:21:58,360 --> 01:22:01,680 Speaker 2: why the music is playing, and it comes important to 1474 01:22:02,200 --> 01:22:04,000 Speaker 2: what's happening, and. 1475 01:22:03,960 --> 01:22:06,920 Speaker 1: The fact that she's using his soundtrack to fuel her 1476 01:22:07,040 --> 01:22:13,640 Speaker 1: current life and decisions and his thoughtful, loving songs that 1477 01:22:13,680 --> 01:22:16,000 Speaker 1: he because you know, again, the mixtape is a lost 1478 01:22:16,120 --> 01:22:19,120 Speaker 1: art and if you've made or received a mixtape, you 1479 01:22:19,160 --> 01:22:21,280 Speaker 1: know how important it is to make one and to 1480 01:22:21,720 --> 01:22:24,439 Speaker 1: be along the flow. You're along with the flow of 1481 01:22:24,439 --> 01:22:27,400 Speaker 1: the emotions of the person who made it. So as 1482 01:22:27,400 --> 01:22:30,120 Speaker 1: she's making these decisions, you're watching her do these weird 1483 01:22:30,160 --> 01:22:33,360 Speaker 1: actions and listening to this soundtrack that was created in 1484 01:22:33,439 --> 01:22:36,160 Speaker 1: love but also created by someone who knew they were 1485 01:22:36,160 --> 01:22:38,160 Speaker 1: going to take their own life right. 1486 01:22:38,400 --> 01:22:40,280 Speaker 2: And like the last song, which I won't give away 1487 01:22:40,280 --> 01:22:42,040 Speaker 2: just because I don't know, I feel like I is 1488 01:22:42,120 --> 01:22:42,920 Speaker 2: so important. 1489 01:22:43,280 --> 01:22:45,080 Speaker 1: Oh good God. 1490 01:22:45,840 --> 01:22:49,759 Speaker 2: Like it's just wraps it up so amazingly truly. 1491 01:22:50,160 --> 01:22:54,640 Speaker 1: Yeah, it's truly incredible, and I think it's it's I 1492 01:22:54,680 --> 01:22:57,440 Speaker 1: don't see it being discussed enough or a lot anymore 1493 01:22:57,520 --> 01:22:59,879 Speaker 1: because it's you know, over twenty years old. But yeah, 1494 01:23:00,200 --> 01:23:03,280 Speaker 1: it still feels fresh, it still feels interesting. It's still 1495 01:23:03,280 --> 01:23:07,400 Speaker 1: one of the most unique protagonists, if you can call 1496 01:23:07,439 --> 01:23:11,719 Speaker 1: her a protagonist that I've seen. And again, Samantha Morton 1497 01:23:11,840 --> 01:23:15,679 Speaker 1: is absolutely fucking amazing in this movie. And Lynn Ramsay 1498 01:23:15,880 --> 01:23:18,519 Speaker 1: just knocked it out of the park. That it's an 1499 01:23:18,520 --> 01:23:22,799 Speaker 1: evocative film. And again, as we talked about with Monster, 1500 01:23:22,880 --> 01:23:25,160 Speaker 1: the way that most art should do, it makes it 1501 01:23:25,200 --> 01:23:27,480 Speaker 1: really runs you through the fucking gamut of emotions. 1502 01:23:27,720 --> 01:23:33,000 Speaker 2: Yeah, totally very complicated, but like also like you gotta 1503 01:23:33,080 --> 01:23:35,080 Speaker 2: like you just gotta let it wash over you, because 1504 01:23:35,080 --> 01:23:38,440 Speaker 2: if you're looking for like a real straight up narrative structure, 1505 01:23:38,720 --> 01:23:40,920 Speaker 2: like you know, if you're looking for something really formalless, 1506 01:23:40,920 --> 01:23:44,120 Speaker 2: it's not happening. Like this is like an experience, right, 1507 01:23:44,240 --> 01:23:50,240 Speaker 2: It's very emotional. The audio is, you know, very strange 1508 01:23:50,280 --> 01:23:54,479 Speaker 2: for some people, you know, but I think it's great. 1509 01:23:54,800 --> 01:23:57,920 Speaker 2: So I'm so happy that I saw this again. I 1510 01:23:57,920 --> 01:23:59,960 Speaker 2: say that every week. It sounds like it's bullshit, but 1511 01:24:00,080 --> 01:24:03,800 Speaker 2: I really truly love doing this podcast because it means 1512 01:24:03,800 --> 01:24:05,920 Speaker 2: I get to rewatch stuff that I haven't seen in forever. 1513 01:24:06,360 --> 01:24:08,920 Speaker 1: Yeah, so you and me both, I love it, and 1514 01:24:08,960 --> 01:24:11,519 Speaker 1: I think that you know, obviously I picked the theme 1515 01:24:12,840 --> 01:24:16,000 Speaker 1: and gave it kind of a jokey Yeah, a joke. 1516 01:24:16,160 --> 01:24:17,800 Speaker 1: We have a kind of a jokey theme for what 1517 01:24:17,920 --> 01:24:20,759 Speaker 1: is honestly a very serious couple of very serious movies, 1518 01:24:21,360 --> 01:24:24,920 Speaker 1: of course, But I also really like the and want 1519 01:24:24,960 --> 01:24:26,639 Speaker 1: to kind of just pick your brain for a minute 1520 01:24:26,720 --> 01:24:30,280 Speaker 1: about what does it mean to have these films or 1521 01:24:30,280 --> 01:24:32,599 Speaker 1: how do we feel about watching these two films back 1522 01:24:32,640 --> 01:24:37,240 Speaker 1: to back that are about women and crime and death 1523 01:24:38,200 --> 01:24:40,839 Speaker 1: that isn't really presented in the way that we normally 1524 01:24:40,880 --> 01:24:41,959 Speaker 1: see those things presented. 1525 01:24:43,479 --> 01:24:46,120 Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean, listen, I this was sort of accidentally 1526 01:24:46,160 --> 01:24:49,160 Speaker 2: the best double double feature I think I've seen in 1527 01:24:49,200 --> 01:24:52,559 Speaker 2: a long time. Like they weren't made that far apart 1528 01:24:52,560 --> 01:24:54,439 Speaker 2: from each other, like two thousand and two, two thousand 1529 01:24:54,479 --> 01:24:57,080 Speaker 2: and three. Yeah, and when you think about it in 1530 01:24:57,160 --> 01:24:59,679 Speaker 2: the context of like what was going on at that time, 1531 01:24:59,760 --> 01:25:02,040 Speaker 2: like culturally, I mean, didn't we just talk about Woodstock 1532 01:25:02,120 --> 01:25:05,240 Speaker 2: ninety nine, like I always say, the like late nineties, 1533 01:25:05,240 --> 01:25:08,200 Speaker 2: early two thousands, was like a low point for feminism 1534 01:25:08,400 --> 01:25:11,880 Speaker 2: in our in our culture, like all of the you know, 1535 01:25:12,479 --> 01:25:16,240 Speaker 2: the music and the fucking weird shit that was happening 1536 01:25:16,280 --> 01:25:17,360 Speaker 2: back then, you know. 1537 01:25:17,479 --> 01:25:19,439 Speaker 1: But then we have these Then we have these two 1538 01:25:19,439 --> 01:25:24,840 Speaker 1: films that I think were potentially a changing of the 1539 01:25:24,960 --> 01:25:29,759 Speaker 1: tide about how we could look at and discuss women 1540 01:25:29,800 --> 01:25:30,439 Speaker 1: in a new way. 1541 01:25:31,160 --> 01:25:37,439 Speaker 2: Yeah, and it could have easily been different. I'll just 1542 01:25:37,479 --> 01:25:39,719 Speaker 2: say to that exact point, it could have been different 1543 01:25:39,760 --> 01:25:42,120 Speaker 2: if these movies were made by men. Let's just say that. 1544 01:25:42,479 --> 01:25:44,960 Speaker 2: Can you imagine if these movies were made by men 1545 01:25:45,200 --> 01:25:48,439 Speaker 2: in the era that they were being made, it would 1546 01:25:48,439 --> 01:25:48,840 Speaker 2: have been. 1547 01:25:48,720 --> 01:25:52,880 Speaker 1: Pure comedy, slasher bullshit, right. 1548 01:25:53,439 --> 01:25:56,759 Speaker 2: It would have been like, this is a fucked up woman, 1549 01:25:58,040 --> 01:26:01,840 Speaker 2: and like look how fuck up she is, and like 1550 01:26:03,240 --> 01:26:04,720 Speaker 2: she kills men. 1551 01:26:05,880 --> 01:26:08,840 Speaker 1: I want to give more. I want to give more 1552 01:26:08,880 --> 01:26:10,479 Speaker 1: credit to men and the hope that they wouldn't have 1553 01:26:10,520 --> 01:26:12,240 Speaker 1: done that. But I was alive during that era and 1554 01:26:12,280 --> 01:26:14,680 Speaker 1: watching movies during that era, and they absolutely would have. 1555 01:26:14,800 --> 01:26:18,160 Speaker 1: There was no grace for women back then until movies 1556 01:26:18,200 --> 01:26:19,000 Speaker 1: like this came along. 1557 01:26:19,640 --> 01:26:23,519 Speaker 2: No, I saw enough girls gone wild commercials back then 1558 01:26:23,560 --> 01:26:26,759 Speaker 2: to where I was like, Nah, wouldn't have been handled well, 1559 01:26:27,840 --> 01:26:32,000 Speaker 2: I just get that feeling. Get the feeling, but the 1560 01:26:32,080 --> 01:26:34,800 Speaker 2: fact that they were made by women and who were 1561 01:26:34,840 --> 01:26:37,920 Speaker 2: like great filmmakers. Man, I think it was the absolute 1562 01:26:38,000 --> 01:26:40,840 Speaker 2: difference in the early two thousands. Let's consume. 1563 01:26:41,000 --> 01:26:43,200 Speaker 1: Yeah, that's what brings in all the layering and all 1564 01:26:43,240 --> 01:26:45,759 Speaker 1: the emotion and all the things that we've been discussing about, 1565 01:26:45,760 --> 01:26:48,240 Speaker 1: these points that are so strange and new and interesting. 1566 01:26:48,360 --> 01:26:50,639 Speaker 1: That's where that comes from. Is this, you know, having 1567 01:26:50,680 --> 01:26:55,240 Speaker 1: the emotional input of women. I think they both these 1568 01:26:55,280 --> 01:26:58,600 Speaker 1: directors writers, they knocked it out of the park. It's great. Yeah, 1569 01:26:58,840 --> 01:26:59,880 Speaker 1: both fields are so great. 1570 01:27:00,600 --> 01:27:04,360 Speaker 2: Women are complicated and I love complicated women's stories. I 1571 01:27:04,439 --> 01:27:09,080 Speaker 2: like watching art about it.
