Film after film: Widows (dir. Steve McQueen, 2018)

Plot-wise, it's just okay, but actorly it's a great pleasure. I love Davis when she plays roles that are not so in-your-face showy, with the proverbial "snot out of nose" crying (see this year's Air too). Here she's more steely but also vulnerable, as the wife of a (seemingly) dead criminal, who is coerced into paying his debts and aims to complete a job that originally he planned. There are some plot twists and turns, sometimes impressive and well staged, but it's predominantly an actor's film. Kaluuya stands out as the most evil person alive.

I KNEW AMERIE WAS NEVER GETTING THAT LETTER BUT FUCKKKK MEEEE IT HURTS 😭😭

[kissboybyler]

i can’t stress enough just how much i long for failure characters. Damaged ones, but not in the sense that something horrible has happened to them. They have absolutely no idea why they are so fucked up. They could be better, so much better, they really could, but they’re not. They’re failures, they rot and waste time and they can feel their insides churning. We have this taboo about people and characters like that, as if somebody who isn’t remarkable isn’t worthy. As if someone deserves praise and love only if they’re extraordinary.

I love and relate to characters who just hate themselves for no reason, or many reasons, but nothing concrete, nothing to pin-point. Nothing specific. Everything and nothing. They’re mad at the world, but they don’t know why. They are unsatisfied and they seek something more, but they’re too tired and hate themselves too much to try. These are real experiences that real people have, and pretending that they are not, demonising them, is so brutal and like- not cool.

I’m speaking as a person who’s spent their entire life searching for something more, hating myslef for just existing, hating the world around me because however much i had to offer, it was never enough. I’ve always been a perfectionist, but i’ve started to get really tired and pissed. I’ve started to slack off at the most vital point of my life. I’m just tired and i want to give up. But i can’t. But for the first time i want or need to. But i can’t because i already hate who i am too much- so giving up now would mean that id have to try again and stay behind. Which is cool, but painful for my self-esteem.

It’s not that i aspire to be the character-failures. But i am a character failure. I’ve always looked up to characters such as Hermione Granger, Annabeth Chase, Anne Shirley, Elizabeth bennet etc, you know, really smart, intellectual, opinionated, badass characters. I share qualities with them and i’ve tried so hard to only make these shine that i’ve suppressed everything else. Or i’ve tried to. It’s all slipping up. It’s all a lie. I’d cry myself to sleep because i wasn’t as smart as hermione at 12, though people would say i was, but i wanted to be more, i wanted to be more than even her. I wanted to be her at her fullest, always. But i wasn’t. I’m not that character, i am a character-failure.

And seeing characters who are clumsy and smart, nerdy but also fucked up (IM LOOKING AT YOU MIKE WHEELER), characters with so many flaws, most people hate them, i- i feel close to them in a most remarkable way. Characters like Julia from luca, always second though she’d tried so hard, characters like todd anderson, too afraid to know themselves, characters like remus lupin, aristotle mendoza, katie mitchell, luca, james wilson, robin buckley and so many more. Characters who feel real. Not that all the others don’t, but something about how fucked up they are really appeals to me. Like- even someone this broken, crooked, wrong can be so loved. Maybe there’s still hope.
