op of that "read a book" post is a terf so deleting but reposting my lil rambles abt the panic in needle park novel
#bobby n helen swap who has the control whos hurting who whos manipulating who in the novel in a way that makes a lot of sense#vs the movie it feels more of bobby with helen swept up in things#you get the same twisted love tho but also its interesting that in the movie his anger is sparked by helen#selling her body like she needs to be punished narratively while book bobby certsinly minds but given she was#doing it b4 they even met he doesnt intrude n even encourages it fir his gain#again its bc the novel is obviously pulling from a direct relationship or bits of various ones the author was around#when he spent time in these circles vs the movie ends up needing a solid narrative#n seems more focused on a general anti drug message n thus naunce n grey areas arent so vital#tho this also calls up just how u read the movies ending#i took the ending to mean they're abt to restart the cycle all over again byt ive seen others disagree#ok im losing my train of thought.#i like that the novel is scatterbrained on purpose bc bobby n helen are scatterbrainwd living moment to moment w#no long term plans anymore even as theyre trying#its very bleak but thats the point#while ig the movie is bleak but w that potentially up hook at the end#shrugs
