#films that changed my life

[helloangelu]

the last five years

a friend briefly mentioned a lyric from if i didn’t believe in you and i instantly knew i had to watch this film.

boy was i a mess after the entire movie. i already cried during the first song… hahaha!

idk about the low ratings, but i felt everything and more. this is much more painful than la la land for me. there’s nothing new or special about the plot; it was just real.

recommending to watch the trailer/read the synopsis so you wouldn’t get lost with the timeline though :”)

also, this is a musical, and i actually enjoyed it (vs. the mean girls musical that i wish i could forget lol). but if you’re not really into musicals, don’t watch it if you’re just gonna judge it being a musical hahaha.

ps. i cry at almost everything so pls don’t come at me if you were expecting to cry and didn’t. but i swear this was saaaad.

(Link here) Picture me with a conspiracy stringboard, a copy of the Unfinished Tales, and several essays about how LOTR/The Hobbit are meant to be flawed translations of ancient texts written by biased authors, and gesturing wildly as I explain how we can reinterpret The Hobbit as a funky little gay metaphor actually. we can do it. I believe

it’s so crazy to me that i watched dps because i kept seeing edits of it and it looked really good and i wanted to know why all the edits were so sad and after watching it i went on a deep dive of the cast (basically rsl and ethan) and peter weirs filmography and then richard linklater and i watched similar films and saw more edits, and then i wanted to see edits with other songs so i learnt how to edit and made them, and i started to listen to all this music that reminded me of dps, all of which kept branching off into other things + i’ve engaged with so many people who have recommended things to me and this cycle just keeps going, and so many of my favourite things is because of dps, because i decided to watch it on a random day and then rewatch 2 more times in the same week because i thought it was so good. i wouldn’t have done any of these things without watching it

The Trojan Horse/La guerra di Troia (1961)

Ignore the complete mischaracterisation of Helen and the inaccuracy of events, you need to see this sequence of how Paris dies. It's absolutely WILD.

STEEL MAGNOLIAS - 1989

The walls are banged with sprays of flowers, in my two shades of blush and bashful. A pink carpet specially laid out for my service, and pink silk bunting draped over anything that would stand still.

get you a man who can do both

[apoptoses]

Have you ever been reading Devil’s Minion and thinking to yourself, “damn, I just can’t nail down a face for Daniel”? Have you watched Interview with the Vampire and felt like neither Christian Slater nor River Phoenix hit the mark for you?

Allow me to introduce you to James fucking Spader.

Look at him! Is that not the face of Daniel, completely fed up with Armand feeding his cigarettes down the garbage disposal?

He’s got the naive and beautiful face but ALSO the defiant yet beseeching thing down! Also he was like 22 here, which is right around the age Daniel met Armand so he’s at peak Healthy, Pretty Molloy here. No wonder Louis decided to take him home!!

“Do you know what a zip code is, or a tax bracket? I’m the one who buys all the goddamned airline tickets. Millions. How are we going to get millions! Steal another Maserati and be done with it, for God’s sakes!”

Spader is the original 80′s pretty boy you’d assume starred as the leading man in some schmoopy romances or schlocky teen dramas and he did that for a minute. Like check him out in Pretty in Pink-

 Is this not peak Night Island Daniel, in his Miami Vice looking bespoke suit ready to head out with Armand for the night?

Look at him snuggled into his blanket in Tuff Turf, like Daniel hungover and forcibly woken up to honky tonk piano tunes!

But the deliciousness doesn’t end at his looks. Because in true Molloy fashion that man said ‘you know what? I wanna make movies for freaks and weirdos only’

In Sex, Lies and Videotape he plays the sweetest pervert who loves interviewing women about their sex lives, video taping it, and then watching them back naked but not actually getting off! He’s impotent, he’s a gentle and lovely weirdo, there’s vampire!Daniel fodder for days in this one.

Crash is a horny flick that defies all explanation and really you need to go in blind if you’re gonna watch this one, but let me just say this: If Spader and his Wife in this film aren’t the most Daniel and Armand coded couple in cinema history I will eat my shoes. Also there’s tons of beautiful footage of him driving around at night with his blond hair ruffling in the breeze.

Your prefer your Daniel with glasses? Oh, perfect, because in Bad Influence he plays a sweet guy who gets into a fucked up situation with a toxic friend and a sex tape!

In Storyville he lets himself be thrown on the floor and lays there submissively before getting involved in yet another sex tape scandal!

Don’t even get me started on Dream Lover, another smut filled romp (with some filthy deleted scenes if you google the uncut version) which has the most Devil’s Minion promo photos of all time-

Like! Get the fuck out!

I could just go all day about his body of work but some of it you’ve just gotta see for yourself. In pretty much every film you’re guaranteed smut with him being deliciously submissive, extremely gentle with his hands, and down for all kinds of kink. And in most of his movies he gets bloody at least once, like-

this is a shitty picture i took of my laptop but look at the blood at the corner of his mouth! Vampire activities!

In summary, let me hit you with a photo dump:

Daniel laying in a cheap motel room during the chase years!

Daniel with delightful 70s hair!

More glasses!Daniel!

Daniel with a half-buttoned 80′s shirt looking so beautiful it’s no wonder Armand couldn’t NOT turn him!

It’s dark, he’s wet, he looks exhausted!

He’s the ideal beautiful Molloy Weirdo and I will not be accepting any other arguments, goodbye!!
