#so kudos to emerald fennell for that

[spacecasehobbit]

It makes me so happy that Emerald Fennell has said outright that Felix was doing something shitty in every scene. He's pretty, he's wealthy, he's charming; he's so spoiled with privilege that he can get away with casual cruelty underlying everything he does and still think of himself as a good person.

The fact that so many people can watch Saltburn and come away thinking that Felix is a nice person is both a testament to the quality of Emerald Fennell's writing, and it is a perfect example of how Oliver himself got drawn in by the facade of kindness that Felix presents.

I want her to write so many more things, and I want to watch all of them.

#saltburn #emerald fennell #felix catton #between saltburn and pyw #i've been really impressed so far with her character writing #and the themes that she chooses to explore #felix WAS doing something shitty in every scene #but i'm not used to characters like that being written as such awful people *on purpose* without also feeling clunky #so kudos to emerald fennell for that
