I'm so weak for the color symbolism of 6.03/6.04

particularly as an illustration of the, in my opinion, breaking point for them as this line that lizzie can no longer follow him across (falsely taking multiple lives in the name of their daughter). but also as a way of tying back to the poem, ode to the west wind, with which tommy indelibly ties their fates together as two people that are simultaneously one in the same, yet inconsolably different.

#the increasingly blatant angel/devil theming etc etc #the (admittedly clumsy at times) inversion of the madonna-wh*re dichotomy that is more or less the thesis of lizzie's entire character #it's kind of on the nose in all aspects but I'm a simple creature #and his (eventual) letting her go at the end is an interesting crumb of growth #for a man who has historically (consciously or not) barred off the progression of anyone in his orbit that may otherwise outgrow him #introspection‚ a study #imagery‚ a study #I KNOW the actual poem is a celebration of duality and maybe the film will circle back to this bUT
