OUGH thinking about Phillip Morgan's hands as a defining feature of his character.... Phillip tightening the rope that kills Kenneth with his hands... Brandon gently pulling the gloves off of Phillip's hands... Phillip playing the piano with his hands... Phillip opening the champagne bottle for Brandon with his hands... Phillip breaking the glass with his hands... Phillip cutting getting cut on the stem and spreading blood on his hands... Phillip getting his fortune read by his hands... Phillip grabbing and aiming the gun with his hands... "these hands will bring you great fame"

#rope 1948 #phillip morgan #sometimes rope just hits you #was thinking again about how phillip always does the actual physical work when it comes to him and brandon #and how brandon pulling the gloves off for him was a momentary reversal #too early in the movie to realize what a reversal it actually was #actually i would kill for a gifset of all the times brandon deferred to phillip because it wasn't many but it was so so real #like when phillip tells him to turn the light off and he does #or any time brandon looks cowed by phillip #because the fact that brandon actually truly cared about phillip was so strange and so touching #his whole act dropping for a second every time he was worried about or offended by phillip #like babe you are a narcissistic murderer who LOVES to be uppity and superior #and yet you drop every pretense when you see phillip is hurt #remember when brandon told phillip to stop drinking and phillip snapped at him #and brandon actually backed down instantly?#i do #and i think about it constantly #their dynamic was sooooooo so interesting #...maybe I need to watch rope again
