Lines:
1." I look forward all day to that bath. Makes me feel importtant to know there's one thing I have to do. Kind of a date, or something. "
During the painful time, bathing has become the last trace of solace.
2. "You know, don't you, that I only want the best for you"
I often think that true love, in addition to wishing to give you the best of selflessness, also has jealousy, distress, and even hatred.
3. "All right. Is it? Was it ever?"
If you don't say it, it will always be a thorn between us, like a thorn in the throat.
But to say it, we will never go back to the past.
4.
--I'll be coming back soon
--I don't think so.
After unraveling the knot, we may not get any closer.
The naked scars are left there, we can't be purely together anymore,
Can no longer be frank and sincere, and face each other's eyes without gaps.
Better to leave.
Impressive points:
1. Little devil Mary's close-up female gaze when she watched Martha and Karen was amazing.
2. Except for Martha and Karen, there are basically no female figures that people respect and like.
The villain Aunt Lily; the little devil Mary; Rosalie who was exploited by Mary because of kleptomania; Mrs. Tilford, the tragic promoter who cares more about his conscience relief. "the wicked very young, the wicked very old"
(Compare Mr. Burton, who was the first to tell them the truth, and Joe, who never left?)
3. What makes this film great is not the evil of the children on the subject, nor the truth behind the lies.
It is the painful self-knowledge that Martha opens up.
“Listen to me. I have loved you the way they said.”
"I'm guilty."
"I feel so damn sick and dirty, I can't stand it anymore."
Very typical internalized homophobia.
4. Martha, who finally realized her "unnatural" sexuality, hanged herself, dyke is doomed to death.
