After 30 years making movies, finally they are making something that has my attention. Also educating new generations about good life choices and good manners.
literally nobody asked for it, but here's my list of saltburn essays that i've slowly been drafting over the course of the last week which WILL be required reading for anybody trying to engage with me about this movie. my very personal saltburn 101 syllabus just dropped
A Wolf in Deer's Clothing: Saltburn's Attempt at Innocence
an examination of party costumes and our character's last attempts to masquerade as something they're not: felix—an angel, all-forgiving and all-knowing, something to be worshiped; and oliver—a prey animal, prey to class-divide, prey to saltburn, prey to felix.
thoughts about oliver specifically are loosely organized in my #bambi tag
A Midsummer Night's Mare: Farleigh Start as the Ultimate Victim of Saltburn
a farleigh character study, about the ways he was mistreated and manipulated at saltburn, about fighting to stay alive and the scars left behind by knowing when to give in
alternatively titled "QuickStart", may be adapted into a conclusive essay specifically focusing on oliver and farleigh's relationship
The Eye of the Beholder: On Saltburn's Voyeurism & Violence [working title]
how wealth and class pushes the catton's toward the volatile reality of being able to look, but not touch. on desire and the lack thereof, and portraying yourself as an object to be desired
may end up as two separate essays on wealth and aestheticism but i'm pushing toward a conclusive essay about the intersection of the two, which i feel is at the heart of saltburn
alternatively titled "Poor Man's Pudding: A Melvillian Approach to Saltburn's Class", again, may be adapted into it's own essay
Gender-Fluid: A Study in Sexuality and Saltburn's Desire to be Dry
a deep dive into the bodily fluids of saltburn and how oliver upsets the standard of men who are just so lovely and dry. on the creative choice to lean into the messy wetness of sex and desire and the audience's instinct toward repulsion
a celebration of the grotesque and an examination of why we would label it as such
least developed of the four, heavily inspired by @charnelpit's lovely post about the fluids in saltburn
if anybody is actually interested in any of these, i can work toward something closer to a finished piece instead of just bullet points and quotes in a google doc, but mostly this is so i can share my very brief takes on a multitude of themes in saltburn that have been haunting me
edit for people seeing this in the future: all posts about my essays are being organized into my #saltburn 101 tag if you’re interested in following these through to development!
PSA to all Twitter user MOSSADiL is a parody account
It's not the same parody account created by Canadian, Shawn Ein, aka user TheMossadaiL
When I use public information I keep seeing a pathetic guy's face and some of the shit they say about India is very biased soooooo y e a h some dude, most likely is South Asian/Hindu or from India, is pretending to be THE Mossad (which is like the Israeli CIA equivalent btw) and has 281K losers following him & really spitting that Zionist bs
Mr. Ein's 563k follower base has a large overlap because so many Zionists are actually stupid af
If you're looking for a free list of apologists, colonizers, and genociders to screenshot, document for later, and block, there ya go. It's all right there in broad daylight and in public with those 2 accounts in particular
Oh and btw the real thing has an inactive account that's limited to recruitment only based posts so heads up when you see bonkers shit from anybody claiming to be "commentary"
hello folks. if you're following me and you're a zionist, pro-israel and/or you sympathise with the state of israel please go ahead and unfollow or let me know so i can block you.
Sorry just thinking about how in dimension 20 the entire plot of neverafter is built around fate and destiny and what to do when you don't have a grasp on your own story. And how critical role is dealing with the villains trying to kill the gods and fate so mortals can be free.
Omg, they can't even make a new Christmas special something for us?
They repost a performance from last year and nothing else? There is still a little time for a Christmas wish, but seriously. The only shit i've seen in weeks are old clips of Zabdiel and Christopher. Those yellow shirts are their new theme color, idc.. minimum effort, minimum content, minimum band at this point 🤷🏻♀️
I'm so done with this band, i swear. What's the point anymore? 🙄
Her devotion to him is exclusively because he is black?
No, she is devouring him, craving for him, since she knows she is the last fertile person of the family lineage, and him is about to end it forever with her. 😂🤣😋😍😏
You know if I had many thousands of followers I would not use such irresponsible phrasing as "CHRISTIAN COLONIZATION OF THE OLD EGYPTIAN FAITH" but thats just me
I dreamt I made a post about how people that are against the British monarchy should def not be the same people that think Daenerys (GoT) should’ve taken the throne….and you know what? I was right and I should say it.
it makes me so sad how (neo)colonization & desire for (proximity to) whiteness has led to people completely running our culture to the ground… what happened to our traditional everything… fuck this obsession w wanting to seem ‘better’ than other MENA people in the eyes of the whites bekrahkon
