My Eileen Essay (with lots of spoilers!)

(Just a note: I haven't read the book yet.)

When I got to the end of this movie, as soon as Rebecca said she had someone locked in the basement--the entire thing felt ruined for me. I was disappointed further when Rebecca didn't show--leaving Eileen to take the blame for the crime that Rebecca had manipulated her into, and then hitchhike out of town.

The movie stayed with me long after I left the theatre, and that is when I began to appreciate it as art. We see so many details of Eileen's life, so vivid and real.

I also have so many unanswered questions. Why didn't Eileen push the car into the pond, or set it on fire? Did she want the body to be found? It seems like when Rebecca didn't show, she decided not to blame her father--maybe deciding that at least he wasn't as bad as some parents. Instead of trying to hide the body though, she leaves it in her favorite spot, where if people find it, they are likely to suspect that she committed the crime. Is this because in some way, she's proud of what she did? I mean, at the end of the movie, she smiles.

Does Eileen realize that Rebecca drew her into her crime, and essentially tricked her into taking the blame for it? Does she believe it is her fault?

This film was set in the 1960s which means that Eileen could have read The Price of Salt. Although the trailer implied that this would have a less than happy ending, I still went into the movie with the hope that any of the crimes committed wouldn't be by Eileen or Rebecca. In the trailer it heavily implies that the thing Eileen can't tell anyone about is Rebecca's sexuality, so I do feel that the trailer misrepresents what the movie is about. Initially it seems really cruel for this movie to come out during Carol season. The season where we queers celebrate Patricia Highsmith's groundbreaking novel with a happy ending for two women in love, at a time when the only books that really got published about women who love women essentially followed the format of Eileen: one woman tricks another into lesbianism and moral degeneracy which ultimately ends in tragedy. The thing is though, I bet some of those books were written by lesbians, lesbians who couldn't get anything with a happy ending published. This sort of story that Eileen tells is a part of lesbian culture, a part of our history, finally getting to be shown on screen. So while I have to say that it is a depressing remainder that our culture hasn't really come that far in terms of accepting LGBTQ+ people, I also can't say that I wish the movie didn't exist. I think it has value as art. I just also think that it's a shame that we can't have more lesbian movies with happy endings.

On a more personal note, I have met many women like Rebecca (although fortunately for me, none of the situations involved anything sticky in a basement) and so the experience of being used and discarded by an attractive older woman is very familiar to me. In a way it's nice to see that on screen. Still, this is one of those movies that I'll be obsessively wishing for a better ending to.

I feel like their definitely could have been a more clever twist than Rebecca committing a crime and then tricking Eileen into helping her "complete it" so to speak. If instead, the ending scene had taken place in an office, with a threat but no real gun pointed at the confessing woman--it would have felt more real, less gimmicky. Eileen could leave her empty car by the pond, and hitchhike away--not because she'd committed a crime, but because Rebecca had rejected her, and she wanted to get on to her real life. All this stuff with guns is very dramatic, but a more skilled writer wouldn't need a gun or a main character randomly committing a crime to deliver emotional impact.

This is definitely the kind of movie that you're glad you watched alone in a near empty theatre. I got the perfect seat for viewing it too. There were some couples who went, and I could just feel their awkwardness and disappointment. They probably were fooled into thinking it was a romantic queer movie too.

So I watched Eileen tonight, and while I really did enjoy it, I don’t find the comparisons to Carol fair.

Yes, we had a mousey young woman who is kind of plain looking. Doesn’t have a lot going on in her life. She’s overtaken by longing when she meets an older, blond woman who is smart and takes a fascination with her.

Eileen and Therese both are instantly obsessed to the point that it’s almost scary. But! That’s about where it ends. Besides both movies being period pieces, of course.

Therese is sweet. A bit shy and undecided on where she wants to go with life. Pretty unmotivated, but Carol and their relationship forces her to grow into her own.

Eileen? Eileen is nasty. She longs for violence and sex. She’s not shy per se. Just uninterested until she meets Rebecca. I’d say that she’d be classified as a psychopath. Or sociopath. She’s much worse in the book.

While both books are about young womanhood and figuring out who you are with an attractive older woman being the catalyst for that change, Carol, in the end, is a romance. Yeah, it does have the plot twist of her husband having a private investigator following them during their trip and recording them in the act. But Eileen has LITERAL murder in it with a plot twist that about made my jaw drop.

Carol also has more of a happy ending. While ambiguous, it’s clear that their intentions are to build a future together.

Eileen’s ending is completely ambiguous and could be argued that Rebecca and Eileen will never end up together. I don’t believe that they do in the book. While I find that disappointing (be gay, do crime! Murder wives!), that’s not the point of the story.

Idk I’m tagging spoilers here, but I think that people should go into the film knowing that it’s not going to be like Carol despite the constant comparisons to it.

It's not that I didn't like Eileen, but I was so ready to watch these two women fall in love that the abrupt third act caught me completely off guard, and I felt slightly robbed. I think maybe at least 20 more minutes of movie could've been enough to flesh out the growing affection between Rebecca and Eileen before the twist.

so i found a new blorbo CHARLES SUN and…

you would have to sedate me i’m sorry

*feral* the show is so good, excellently paced and well-acted…. plus, it has all the stuff we enjoy the most:

whump, crime family, family drama, daddy issues (MAJOR!), mommy issues (MAJOR!), well-done action sequences, trauma, “protect the family” sense of duty mindset, lots of baking (by my poor blorbo charles as a coping mechanism), sibling issues, oldest son vs youngest son dynamic (- two brothers, who have both spent their lives competing for attention, approval, and freedom; in their own different ways -), conflicted tortured oldest son, did i mention major daddy/mommy issues and PLENTY OF THE GOOD OL’ EMOTIONAL WHUMP.

and oh their troubled mother is played by THEE MICHELLE YEOH !!!!!!! ✨MOTHER✨

ahhhh charles, his father brainwashed him, turned him into a ruthless killer and put him through so much trauma. my man just wants to have a normal life, bake pastries etc and reconnect with his mother and brother. like look at him (HE NEEDS A HUG AND SEVERAL CHURROS)

i am a sucker for this type of genre. 10/10 no notes. HIGHLY RECOMMEND MY FRIENDS, GO WATCH IT 🎉.

Bump is such a good character and the way the students react to his presence just emphasizes that. He cares about them, he tried to keep them safe. This is a good role model. idk I’m just happy about it

Havok and Madelyne Pryor have their busy week in Limbo Embassy as they deal with paperwork, mutants, non-mutants, visiting relatives and more demons in Limbo. Also, not even Limbo Embassy accepts the amnesty from the neo-nazi Fenris Twins, they should be fed to demons in Limbo dimension instead.

This takes place before the fateful Hellfire Gala disaster.

The Brothers Sun e6

Charles going nuts with sunscreen after he found a weird mole is relatable af😂

NO BRUCE DON'T INVITE GRACE SHE'S SKETCHY

The fact Bruce won the shooting game is great 3

Annnnnd Alexis is having them watched

Love the karaoke😂

FUCK YOU BIG SUN

It was absolutely gut wrenching to watch as Mama Sun learned of her sisters death🥺😭

Oh, I think Mama Sun is about to rain hellfire on these assholes, maybe even her husband because he had ONE JOB

Damn, Charles was 14 when it happened?🥺

The way the mom was staring at him makes me think it was a planned kill by the parents, judging by how the mom looks strained when the dad tells Charles to protect the family

Oh, so that's why they call him Chairleg Sun

The way the mom smiled at first at him, but had tears in her eyes and then tried to hug him, taking him away from the body🥺

I get that it was better to save one son, but maybe if the mother had stayed, she could've saved both her sons🥺

The way Bruce startles when Charles asks how he is😂

The way Bruce is asking Charles to use his words first to try and get TK back😂

I fully expect Grace to be apart or maybe even the head of The Boxers, it would also track because of how her parents were trafficked (maybe with the help of the Jade Dragons)

OH SHIT THE PEEPING GUARD BOYS ARE DEAD

Grace totally killed them

Especially with how she's trying to get Bruce to leave with her

My theory has been reinforced by the way she was looking at June

OH SHIT

The red bracelets!

I was right!! Heck yeah (also poor Bruce)

I bet one of the guys is the son that wrote to Alexis

The way the chair kept bouncing back at him😂

Damn👀 okay Grace's story is dark and shit and I get where she's coming from, but murder is still wrong

She wants to kill Charles🥺

Damn, she's pointing a gun at Bruce

DON'T BELIEVE HER PROMISES SHE'S A BACKSTABBER

Tense moment

Bruce: "Get me paper and a pen."

Grace, pointing to the paper and pen right in front of him: "It's right there."

I'm crying the way he called her, inviting her over and she lied to him🥺 my poor guy just wants to cook and have someone to love🥺

Oh wow, poor TK👀

Charles didn't use words first and you know what? I don't plan him

Me: *watching Charles beat up a bunch of people* GO GET EM SWEETIE

There's a second level 😂

Wow, he's a good golfer 😁

The way he's choosing the golf club to kill the guy😂

Awwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww my boy, he's picturing the first man he killed 🥺😭

I'm crying with you Charles😭

TK as Charles helps him walk: "You're an asshole, Charles."

Charles: "I know." We Stan a self aware king

I had a totally normal reaction to seeing Michelle sitting all pretty as a man sung to her

I'm getting the vibe these two loved each other but we're kept apart because of work 👀 and you know what? I hope she either divorces or kills his (Big Sun's) ass. She had one request! That he contact her if something ever happened to her family.

FUCK YEAH! Poison THAT MOTHER FUCKER

Hell yeah, you tell him Queen, you take that assholes empire And rule like the Queen you are!

Oh, did she bring him out of his coma? I thought she killed him but him shaking his fist at her retreating form has changed things.
