I watched The Book of Clarence, it was amazing ! The cinematography was excellent, here’s more things I found notable loI
I was so surprised to see Anna Diop in it I love her 🤧 Alfre Woodard as Virgin Mary was hilarious she is everyone’s mother 🤧 Teyana Taylor as Mary Magdalene! They even had an Achilles
Benedict Cumberbatch as White Jesus was also funny as hell (sorry Lord) meanwhile first time he was on screen in the back of mind I was thinking about that lady that said his family owes hers reparations
One of my favorite moments is a scene between Clarence (Lakeith) and Varinia (Anna) where she shows up at his party, he says “You came” she replies, “I arrive.”
Came means “move or travel toward or into a place thought of as near or familiar to the speaker”
Arrive means “reach a place at the end of a journey or a stage in a journey”
So I took it as Clarence says, “you travelled to familiarity (me)” and Varinia replies, “I’m at the end of my story”
considering how their story played throughout the movie, I thought that was beautiful 🤧
