bestie, idk who lied to you, but that film was never meant to be an eat the rich film. there is a huge difference between messaging and setting and I am begging everyone to understand that.

#Saltburn #sometimes #things can have rich people in them #and just be a pulpy gothic romance #and yes I know #the scary commoner turned out to be evil and brought down the poor rich family #I just can't believe all the fuss when Patricia Highsmith is RIGHT THERE #prolific queer writer telling almost the exact same story and everyone loved it #no one is holding the classism torch about Tom Ripley #please I beg of you #sometimes you really can just enjoy things or not enjoy them and move on #I stg a lot of you went into this film demanding it fit into the idea you got from the vague trailer #and then you refused to adjust your expectations when it wasn't that thing at all
