Thanks for the shout out! I hope I didn't come across as overly aggressive or something, so I'm genuinely sorry if I did! I didn't mean to be passive-aggressive or anything.

hey!!!! oh my gosh no i did not get those vibes from you. i’m so glad people felt comfortable to call me in and help with the situation!!! thank you for being so kind about it. i am really sorry i didn’t read much about the director! hope you have a peaceful day wherever you are xx

#lordbyronbutworse #jenny talks #ahhhhh guys ive been on and off tumblr and when i finally come back i do this to myself #eep #hope everyone is well

hey @lordbyronbutworse !!! thank you for commenting!!!! i totally agree with your points!!!! i added a part to my post that i def messed up without doing research, but i don’t think people are reblogginh that version. you’re right that my og post was misinformed!!!! reblogginh this so more people can see your commentary ^^^^^^^

my rational brain: wow ammonite looks promising! i’m glad i get to live in a time when more and more lgbt rep is brought to the big screen!

my other rational brain: ammonite is a rip off of portrait. portrait is a masterpiece. portrait was a queer film made by queer artists. portrait didn’t have a happy ending but was so goddamn well-crafted it had a BETTER ending that didn’t need to be happy. portrait’s message was bigger than anything i could’ve expected going into the film. adèle haenel owns me. ammonite could never. ammonite will never. if ammonite really is a portrait rip-off then i don’t think i’ll be able to handle more heartbreak and we really do need more queer filmmakers and queer artists telling queer stories.

#ammonite #portrait of a lady on fire #im sorry guys!!!!! please please see my reblog or listen to lordbyron’s comments!!!! see ammonite!!!!!

[jennyquill]

better informed brain: hey!!! this post got more likes than i thought it would. i wanted to say i was wrong! francis lee is a gay man. also, ammonite was filmed before portrait! thank you to everyone who corrected me on this!! i made this hastily and didn’t put much thought into it, which is not cool. here’s an article where francis talks about ammonite and tbh it’s pretty cool how the idea came to him for the film. im sorry i didn’t research this film more before posting. we need to lift more queer films up and my og post didn’t do that, so please if you see this, reblog this one instead! even tho i made this post in good humor i also incidentally put one queer film against another without even seeing the other one — and we don’t have time for that. i’m definitely seeing this when it comes out and i hope you guys will too!!!

When we were children, my sister had private music lessons at her violin teacher’s house. I only visited there once, but I still remember that afternoon. The teacher had an artificial pond in her yard, a large beautiful thing with lily pads and plant life. And in the pond, there were goldfish. I had never seen such enormous goldfish. 

I spent several minutes just staring at them (and trying to convince them to bite my fingers.) When my sister’s violin lesson ended, her teacher came out to the yard and explained that these goldfish were the same small creatures that were often unfortunately sold in plastic bags at state fairs. They were only about two inches long apiece, when she bought them and put them in the new, empty pond. In essence, they were like every goldfish I had seen before, but they had been given a much larger, much richer environment in which to flourish. As a result, they had grown into some of the most remarkable, vibrant creatures my twelve-year-old self had ever met with. All because of a pond. 

Funny what lessons children remember. My sister doesn’t play the violin anymore, but that was the first time I caught a glimpse of the overwhelming extent to which it matters, the way the world treats us.

“I wanted to challenge politically the kissing scene, which traditionally either has the surprise kiss scene thanks to a rain shower for instance, or the obvious kiss scene thanks to mustard on the corner of the lips, for instance, and it is generally carefully scripted as ‘They kiss.’ Or ‘They passionately kiss.’ And then it’s on the actors’ shoulders. It seems to rely a lot on them because it’s their bodies and fluids and interaction, but it shouldn’t be. It’s fake. It’s not about finding the magic. Actors should always be part of the elaboration of an idea, especially with intimate scenes. So I wanted to craft a scene that would embody the sexiness of consent. People who are questioning the idea of asking for consent in France, they do exist. They are brave fighters for the culture of French gallantry who say that asking for consent would not be sexy, it will break the mood. Some of the French critics thought the film lacked flesh, precisely because to them eroticism is about conflict. […] At some point I came up with the idea of them having to unveil their mouths like they would undress themselves. So I put a scarf, justified by a strong wind, pressed on their lips and thinking you would see their heavy breathing through the moving cloth.”
