Let's talk about The Deep Blue Sea movie...
First of all, I'm one of the earliest fans of Tom Hiddleston and his work. I'd melt into a puddle of happy tears if he ever just smiled at me, even from very far away. I'm the first to squeal like a hungry otter when he smiles or talks in French. Get the picture? Good.
I've watched The Deep Blue Sea only once and I'll never watch it again because for the first and only time, it genuinely made me hate Tom's character and genuinely scared of Tom for a moment. In a way, that means he did an excellent job.
I explain:
the first time we see Freddie (Tom's character), I immediately identified as Hester (the protagonist, played by Rachel Weisz). I mean, the movie is constructed around her POV and he really appears like a beautiful, pure angel about to lead you to Heaven. ^///^
Then she tries to commit suicide. And instead of comforting her or just ask her why she did that, Freddie goes to get shit-faced in a bar before roaring atrocious, horrible things to her while she's still in tears and recovering from her suicide attempt. I swear I was crying in fear and disgust at that scene. I really craved to punch him -or have him punched- to make him shut up.
I know, I know, you guys already told me: Freddie has PTSD, etc. As if I didn't got that! Yeah, PTSD, ok. But still this is a awful, monstrous behavior to have with your beloved one, especially when they don't feel well at all, espacially to the extent of committing suicide!
Later in the movie, he snaps and yells at her in public because she didn't laugh at his joke. There she finally tries to stand her ground but she clearly is scared he might do more than just yelling. He even goes away to calm down because I'm sure he knew he could really lose it and actually hit her.
Even later, Hester's husband (whom she left to live with Freddie) comes to see if she's alright, if she's happy with her lover, but he clearly sees that she's not happy at all. She even hesitates and climbs into his car. Then she ends up coming out of it (because she prefers a difficult, abusive but hot lover than a caring but boring as fuck husband, I guess) Then...
then Freddie comes up from the end of the street, completely smashed and wasted, he SEES that Hester is talking with her husband in the middle of the night, I really, GENUINELY thought he was going to punch and beat her.
I was TERRIFIED.
If you ever asked me, "which of Tom Hiddleston's performances scared you the most?" I'd answer THAT precise scene! I wanted to scream at Hester: "Run away! Climb into that car and save your life! Maybe your husband is a boring, submissive mama's boy but he will never treat you like shit! He'll never guilt-trap you, gaslight you, scream at you or hit you!"
Turns out Freddie doesn't even touch Hester. I could huff out. But he says to the husband sth like "You better never forget her birthday or she'll try to kill herself, LOL".
I gasped in shock at that. That was as horrible as hitting her. The level of contempt and cynism in that line! This even confirms Hester's husband idea that Freddie doesn't treat her right and MY idea that this husband is one of the most caring and loving husbands ever and that Hester better go back to him quickly instead of staying with a mentally unstable douche who treats her like shit.
Lots of people, mostly Hiddlestoners, bash Hester because she stays with Freddie "only for sex" and are apologetic of Freddie's behavior because PTSD.
First: Hester LOVES Freddie, you can feel it, you can see it and after her suicide attempt and Freddie's drunk acts, she still asks people to call her "Miss Page (Freddie's fam name)". And, oh yeah, she STAYS with him even when she obviously sees that's not a good idea and that she has another home with a caring husband in it!
Second: If Freddie Page hadn't been played by Tom Hiddleston, would you have defended him and excused him so ardently? Would you have turned into monstrous misogynists who despise abused women? I don't think so.
Oh, and the movie ends with Freddie leaving Hester because he also saw that relationship was unhealthy for the both of them. Probably also because he knew that if he stayed any longer, he would hurt her more as he saw Hester wouldn't be the one to initiate the breakup.
So no, Freddie isn't a bad guy and loves Hester, but when you treat your girlfriend (or boyfriend) like he does, I will ALWAYS side with the oppressed one. No matter if you're played by Tom Hiddleston or not.

Amita: Synonyms are weird because if you invite someone to your cottage in the forest, that sounds nice and cozy, but if I invite you to my cabin in the woods, you’re going to die.
Constance: my favourite one is “butt dial” and “booty call”.
Rose: It’s called connotation.
Daphne: Also, “forgive me father, I have sinned” vs “sorry daddy, I’ve been naughty”.
Tammy: Great news! Language is now cancelled.

did anyone else who read ASOUE as a child, like, internalize lemony snicket’s definition of a word because it was like the first time you’d read the word?
for example, to this day, whenever anyone says the word “nefarious,” my brain supplies the definition “Baudelaire-hating”
