#flamboyant romanticism + complete disinterest in following the expected scripts for het romance (either in writing or in life)

[oldshrewsburyian]

No one: Absolutely no one: Me: Is there any explanation for the quasi-friendship between the megalomaniac film director and the diffident writer in Jackson's King Kong remake if they aren't exes?

#king kong 2005 #this would explain SO MUCH #(does this movie deserve the mental energy i am giving it? probably not) #why is the director comfortable LITERALLY KIDNAPPING the writer #why does the writer see the director's tragic flaw as an ability to destroy the things he loves? #why is the director so confident in what the writer will do #why does the writer -- despite all evidence to the contrary -- still have some faith in the director's better instincts #why does his voice almost crack when he confronts the other man's moral inadequacies? #everything makes more sense if they know each other in some ways with breathtaking intimacy #and in others not at all #if jack is a bi disaster this might also explain some of his... everything #flamboyant romanticism + complete disinterest in following the expected scripts for het romance (either in writing or in life) #okay i'm done now #perhaps in some future time one (1) other person on this website will ALSO wonder this and find this post and a kindred spirit
