lotesseSaw The King's Speech again last night. Two things: 1. How does Colin Firth do that with his eyes? for serious. God, he's just edible. 2. idk if it's him or the costuming or something else, but the establishing shot of him in full dress after King Edward's abdicated is heartbreaking. Everyone around him is wearing much the same thing, but somehow he looks so much more weighed down; there's something cruel about the mass of ornamentation he's carrying. He looks burdened by it, oppressed by appearance in a way that I'm used to seeing only with female characters. Gorgeous work.
In an unrelated bleg, because I lost all the bookmarks I didn't have backed up to del.ici.ous when my computer fizzed out over holiday, does anyone have a link to/remember a conversation that took place about a year and a half ago, maybe tangentially related to racefail, about the connection between racial privilege and the narrative structure of the single protagonist? Talking about which global locations could be the center of the world?
