When you are sorrowful look again in your heart, and you shall see that in truth you are weeping for that which has been your delight.

Agnes van Rhijn & James Green | Sorrow & Bliss | The Gilded Age x Mercy Street

Hello my darling bears,

So..... I did a thing.

It seems I can’t get over my OTP McHart and ever since I binged TGA, I thought, well let’s see if this cross-over might work.

So a new ship is born, I introduce to you:

Mrs Agnes van Rhijn AND Mr James Green.

It was quite the challenge to find some matching scenes and I even think that Gary plays James even more stoic than playing Kurt haha ( VERY HARD to find a laughing James in Mercy Street, even Agnes laughed more in TGA😂)

POV: A mysterious man waltzes into the Van Rhijn household, sparking Agnes's curiosity. Will she let the walls around her heart crumble, opening the door to a whimsical romance?

I dedicate this video to my dear friends KB and Cross. Ola, my fluff chaperone, I hope you like this new ship ( Mr Green- hair-game-strong right?!) and Cross, thank you for all your advice and chatty convos❤️

Appreciate ya!!

Let me know what you think and if we need to harras HBO to hire Gary to play Agnes second husband ;)

MUSIC:

Melodrama- Sorrow & Bliss

SHOWS:

Lots of love,

Abby

415 to go (two thirds of the way there!!)

Three Kings (1999, dir. David O. Russell): I appreciate that what could have been a very conventional heist film took such chances with the subject material and cinematography.

Mad Max (1979, dir. George Miller): This was a very different movie than I expected, having only seen Fury Road before, but I love that it presents such a different post-apocalypse from we're used to seeing. Society has really only started to crumble. People still go on vacations!

The Ox-Bow Incident (1943, dir. William A. Wellman): I put it on knowing nothing about it and not expecting much but oh boy, was I pleasantly surprised. This may be an all-time great western.

The Sorrow and the Pity (1969, dir. Marcel Ophüls): At a staggering 251 minutes, this was the longest entry I had left on the list. It is an incredible work of documentary filmmaking, just absolutely astounding. But am I relieved I won't have to watch another multiple hours long doc about WWII for this project? Yeah, maybe.

Glengarry Glen Ross (1992, dir. James Foley): I'm not a big fan of films that are so obviously adapted from stage plays. That said, Jack Lemmon and Al Pacino are genuinely great in this and their performances made this a much more enjoyable viewing experience than it otherwise would have been.

Pickup on South Street (1953, dir. Samuel Fuller): Could have been great. There's a lot here to love but it's dragged down by the overt misogyny and an absolute piece of shit protagonist.

Le Havre (2011, dir. Aki Kaurismäki): This film is suffused with warmth, in the cinematography but especially in the characters. I feel better about humanity and about life in general after watching this movie.

Shanghai Express (1932, dir. Josef von Sternberg): I don't know that I've ever seen a leading lady as captivating as Marlene Dietrich is in this film. I was absolutely spellbound every time she was on screen.

Most parents try really hard to give their kids the best possible life. They give them the best food and clothes they can afford, take their own kind of take on training kids to be honest and polite. But what they don't realize is no matter how much they try, their kids will get out there. Out to this complicated little world. If they are lucky they will survive, through backstabbers, broken hearts, failures and all the kinds of invisible insane pressures out there. But most kids get lost in them. They will get caught up in all kinds of bubbles. Trouble bubbles. Bubbles that continuously tell them that they are not good enough. Bubbles that get them carried away with what they think is love, give them broken hearts. Bubbles that will blur the rest of the world to them, make them feel like that is it, that they've reached the end. Sometimes, even the really smart kids, make stupid decisions. They lose control. Parents need to realize that the world is getting complicated every second of every day. With new problems, new diseases, new habits. They have to realize the vast probability of their kids being victims of this age, this complicated era. Your kids could be exposed to problems that no kind of therapy can help. Your kids could be brainwashed by themselves to believe in insane theories that drive them crazy. Most kids will go through this stage. The lucky ones will understand. They will grow out of them. The unlucky ones will live in these problems. Grow in them and never move forward. They will cut themselves, overdose on drugs, take up excessive drinking and smoking, for the slightest problems in their lives. You can't blame these kids for not being thankful or satisfied with what they have. Their mentality eludes them from the reality.
