#perioddramaedit #weloveperioddrama #periodedit #perioddramasource #lady chatterley's lover #lady chatterleys lover #period movies #shitty things i do for love #my only desire for this adaptation was it to be good enough for marg to be satisfied honestly #baby villetteulogy i hope it happened to be just that!!!!! #i kinda torn here because i loved it but ugh #the way this film trips out the social context and class detail of the book??? #and with all that there go most of the psychological complexity of the characters too #i know it's not 1930s anymore but i see no need to play down class tensions #show me how connie and oliver struggle to overcome deeply ingrained prejudices and how painful and sloooow this process is #also constance suffered no inner dilemma about her class based sexu*l disgust and her blooming attraction towards oliver?? #and his battle to find RIGHT words to respond to her as a woman he loves rather than a lady he serves??? #gone gone goneeeeee #okay i stopped bitchin and now i can freely add that the movie is STILL a better adaptation than i expected #atmosphere! glimpses of an emotional depth!!! chemistry!!!! music!!!!
