BELOVED - 1998
#jonathan demme#thandie newton#oprah winfrey#kimberly elise#beloved#toni morrison#underrated af#came out at the wrong time#ahead of its time#plus the trauma in this movie is the heaviest I've ever seen for specifically black generational trauma#the story SPOILERS...#enslaved black woman played by Oprah#named Sethe#murders her infant child born of SA#is later haunted by a haint/ghost/spectre of the child played by Thandie#another spooky black southern gothic movie#that isn't talked about as much as Eve's Bayou#paul newman said it was the best movie he'd ever seen#but it was predictably snubbed at the oscars#tough watch darkly beautiful#A+ aesthetic and performances#halloween reflections of blackness#black american gothic#the book is better of course#but the movie is good

Not 2 be a hater on here but can we please start discerning between Prot angst and that old Tumblr catchall of Catholic Guilt.....Eugene Sledge does not have Catholic guilt that boy has never done the sign of the cross in his life. He thinks communion is symbolic. He believes the Bible has 66 books. Come on now if faith is a source of contention for him it's because he's worried about whether the church elders are going to split over installing a water fountain in the fellowship hall or the scripture selection being used for VBS....if he's a hardline Calvinist maybe he's scared of damnation. Maybe a little bit. If he's feeling particularly mentally ill at a given moment. Probably he's already sure he's either part of the elect or (if he's feeling progressive) he's in the One True Church. But boy he certainly doesn't know what charism means and he never will
#eugene sledge YOU. are a southern baptist#tbf i dont think tom hanks really knows what the difference is either since he has leckie complaining about predestination.....oh well#we need more boring af mainline prots getting peeved over someone else's pimento cheese recipe at the church potluck#the gothic drama of transubstantiation and confession and catholic hierarchy is sooooooo overplayed#joke kinda but also not really do you know how many normal catholics are out there with jobs and lives and stuff. its crazy#eugene roe etc. charming little st francis prayer and you're good to go!!#the pacific#hbo war#eugene sledge#personal

it's so interesting that there's the ethel cain fandom, then there's regional gothic/religious trauma blogs with the exact same aesthetic that are OPENLY TERFS

Hush...Hush, Sweet Charlotte (1964)
"Miriam? He really... isn't here, is he? Just now, I thought I heard... sometimes at night, when I wake up, it seems as if he really is here. Don't turn on the light. It's not real when it's light. It's only real when it's dark - dark and still."

Aldrich is as strong as ever helming a killer#fantasy sequence... tbh the more i think about it the kinder my memory of this becomes. it has just one main flaw and that's that it isn't#Baby Jane. but then what is? Aldrich never quite hit those heights again (tho he did some p great work) and this is a commendable try

I keep having such nice dreams that I live at the shore house and have a beautiful floating greenhouse attached to the dock. It's the size of an actual houseboat, with two stories, several rooms, beautiful stone flooring, a cast iron frame, and glass windows. There is a roof with skylights so it is bright but there is some shade in spots. It is filled with many african violet propagations of varieties that don't actually exist in real life. There is a tiny loft bed and a tiny house kitchen so I could live in there if I wanted to. There is antique furniture and trimmings painted a calming olive green.
#in one of the dreams it was mossy but not moldy and a giant ficus tree had spanish moss dangling from its branches#it was very southern gothic looking
