THE HAUNTING OF BLY MANOR E09 | The Beast in the Jungle

[wlwgif]

I don't think we should plan, you know, Christmas. It's a ways away. One day at a time.

That's enough for me, if it's enough for you. I reckon that's enough for me, yeah.

"Which is, of course, just a misdirection because the entire show is their love story. We didn't want that [to be obvious] right out the gate, though. There was even a little bit of a red herring [at the start]. We knew people would assume there was some flirtation going on with Owen based on their conversation in the car. But, yeah, we totally manufactured that little meet cute [with Dani and Jamie] and I truly love it. They say you make three movies, the one you write, the one you shoot and the one you edit. That's definitely a scene that came out in post completely different than any of us knew it would be on set. It was never on our minds when we were [filming on the day]." Mike Flanagan's commentary for The Haunting of Bly Manor (Episode 1 "The Great Good Place")

I think one of my favorite things about Bly Manor is how, when you watch it again and again, you get to see all the ways Jamie loves Dani. She includes all the little teases about Dani being American, how bad she was at making tea, her annoying fake accent, her silly way of making awful, awful jokes to break tension, how clingy she was, and how foolish sometimes. Jamie could have left all that out, she could have let those details fall away and forgotten them after all that time in the face of Dani's Great Sacrifice, but she didn't. She includes them, because she remembers them, because she remembers Dani exactly as she was, because she loves Dani exactly as she was. She doesn't love an idea or a value or a concept or a belief. She loves Dani, in everything she was. Bly Manor is one of the greatest love stories ever told and I hope people keep on hearing and listening to it.

It's not grief, one woman posted, it's more like a haunting.

The fact that what started The Haunting Of Bly Manor was Viola Lloyd and all her anger and her spite and her selfishness and her possessiveness mistaken for manifestations of love.

Viola, who was unwilling to allow her disease to take away her life so stubbornly to the point that death stopped coming to her house.

When she believed her death imminent in the near future, she made her husband vow, not to move on or to find happiness, but to store away her most valued possessions - and therefore herself -  and give them only to their daughter when she came of age. She remained trapped with those possessions within a trunk in the attic until the day it was opened, not by her daughter, but by her sister, who became her first victim. She was abandoned by her family for her sin, and from that point forward her rage and her belief in the unfairness of her circumstance trapped not only her but all those who died on the grounds of Bly.

The fact that Peter Quint died taken by the lady in the lake and dragged Rebecca down with him and that every aspect of their relationship was based on possession.

The fact that Dani faced the same choice but didn't even consider for one second putting Jamie's life at risk. The fact that Jamie wanted to go down with her, but Dani refused to do so. The fact that every aspect of their relationship was based on love.

And the fact that that is what broke the curse.

"People do, don't they? Mix up love and possession?" "Yeah." "I don't think that should be possible."
