#unless it’s against rapist racist colonisers

[skinks]

#the english #federico jusid #Emily blunt #chaske spencer #truly truly driven mad by how much this score calls back to traditional golden age Hollywood sweeping romance #like everything else in the series from the iconographic Western(tm) visuals #to the tall strong handsome leading man energy of Eli Whipp it’s like… it’s blaring CLASSIC WESTERN but slightly to the left #because it couldn’t exist if it wasn’t telling a different kind of story. if it wasn’t about a woman and a native Pawnee man #it’s About the violence of the Wild West but instead of glorifying it instead it never shows it gratuitously #unless it’s against rapist racist colonisers #and it takes Cornelia and Eli’s story and tells it in such a STRUCTURED layered way #but it does it by taking back all the nostalgic old timey grandeur of the genre and giving it to them instead. it’s their turn for Romance #anyway the way roxane and I were waiting derangedly until 00:01 this morning for the OST to drop on spotify #like rabid teenage stans…. stream federico jusid’s the english he put his whole federussy into it #Spotify
