people really need to get a grip. The pale blue eye is a book set in 1830s, why are you surprised that there’s misogyny in the film?
#y’all would go wild if you knew the book was written by a gay man#I mean I understand the problems with the content and the way it’s handled#but Maddie’s situation… and the way 1830s society would’ve handled it would be to ignore it or consider her ruined.#it’s disgusting and it shouldn’t be a thing but that’s the reality#the movie struggled in playing out a lot of the character depth you get in the book#needed more Lea… needed more of her being a bad bitch#they put Mrs marquis in more than Lea tbh LOL and she’s not very significant in the book#I love the book and I’ll go to the grave defending it#the pale blue eye#still have the male savior complex I know but can we appreciate what landor did. kill r*pists.#women were silenced in those days.. maddie would not have been able to talk to anyone about it bc in the book she’s isolated in a cabin with#her dad. she rarely leaves.. and she’s so excited for that ball.. she wanted to go so bad#she prepped for days and that happens and it just shatters her being which in turn shatters the household#she didn’t have any girl friends.. she didn’t have friends.. she just lived with her dad!!!#suicide hits close to home and the movie hit close in its own way
