Highlander is the film of small details. I love them one by one, but what I love the most is not the brandy of 1783 and the incredible things that happened that year, recited by MacLoud in such a fascinating way…but the trail of shavings from his steel that he left after killing Fasil on that broken column in Madison Square Garden, and Brenda, taking his remains to the lab….unintentionally stalking the immortal more and more.

#highlander #brenda wyatt #connor macleod #madison square garden #the little details are everything in a movie #if a movie lacks of little details is crap #when someone spoil me what i love i always ask details details please #those little piece of art that nobody notice #immortals

Heather MacLeod & Brenda Wyatt.

MacLeod´s two only wives in 467 years, they are two fascinating characters. (The sequels and series are from a kind of AU, never existed)

Because they represent women in two different periods, what is changing, their rights and opportunities, but they also represent what does not change, the concept of love.

And looking at these two magnificent women, the great forgotten secondary characters of this film (one of the best of all time), and analyzing the aesthetics of her scenes with Connor, you can appreciate the social status of the woman with respect to the man.

But let's go further. Heather is the devoted wife (as God intended) in 16th century Scotland, she is the damsel in distress, and the burden of her well-being falls on the husband she loves so much. She leans on him.

From her image it is clear how Heather in exchange for taking care of the farm chores, for always having everything in order for her man, she is everything to him, but he is more to her, he is her economic, emotional, universal support. Without him she couldn't survive. Only if she got another husband. That's why Heather is so pure, so beautiful, the ideal woman, the one any man would want, Connor loves her and desires her intensely. Physically Connor holds Heather's burden lovingly, in the first photo. He is the active part and the pillar.

And we have my favorite, the glorious Brenda. The only police officer with the brains to unravel who Connor MacLeod really is, and in fact the only one among all the idiots that Captain Morán commands who succeeds (I certainly get the feeling that Brenda had something with old Morán romantically, even if it is platonic , but it didn't work, before she met MacLeod).

Brenda represents the woman of the 20th century, almost 21st, with a successful career, published books and an intrinsic value in being a researcher, a thirst for ambition for her development of professional progress, thus pursuing the trail of Connor's katana. Basically she falls in love with the professional opportunity that Connor would give her by teaching her his katana, upon making a discovery. Yes, Brenda is selfish & interested while he stares her with dreamer eyes, i´m sorry.

That is why in their aesthetic together, at the end, when MacLeod is finally mortal and receives his prize, he has telepathy, he feels that he can finally rest from caring for others after 467 years, that is why he is the one who takes the passive part that before occupied by Heather, it is Brenda who will support him emotionally now. She's the strong one, MacLeod has been strong for too long already.

MacLeod has loved Heather dearly. With her he knew the true love & the passion. With Brenda he has discovered the game of cat and mouse, he has been dazzled by her tough game, with her beauty even more emphatic than Heather's, she seems to almost not reciprocate his love in more than one of their scenes in the film, until she does. MacLoud psychologically suffers more with Brenda on a day-to-day basis. Because it seems like unrequited love at first.

Sexual desire and the need to feel loved are brutal with Brenda. Rachel always knew it. The shock after their encounter is so great that both are physically and mentally attached to each other.

In this case, the pillar is and always will be Brenda. She will emotionally protect MacLeod. She will give him whatever he needs even if it is money (which will never happen since he has much more, valuable possessions, she pays for it).

That's why MacLeod rests on his own pillar (Brenda) like in the photo, on someone who will take care of him, after a long time. Here Brenda is the one who takes the masculine role and MacLoud the feminine role, many would say, but in reality it is nothing more than a change in heart and circumstances, it is a total healing of a love wound that lasts almost 500 years.
