    Great review. Extremely insightful. Kudos to you brother. It’s the childhood trauma that Ledia got from her mother which caused all this. In fact I have seen this behavior with my wife. She has been an unnatural mother as she has a personality disorder. She cannot express love to our twin daughters due to her limitations. It has taken a toll on me as I realized this issue after 20 years of my marriage.

      This really means a lot to me, thank you so much my friend. And it’s interesting that you bring up Saltburn because I noticed a lot of crossover themes between the two movies like the shifting power dynamic within a sexual/romantic relationship, and the openness/irony of the sexuality in so many of the characters making the film so fascinating and difficult to predict. I’m sure you sensed that as well. Both excellent movies with unique voices, so glad you enjoyed them!

    I don't really get it, someone please explain. Yeah they all got what they wanted in the moment (Tashi got to see good tennis, Art got motivation to really play, and Pat got to play with his best friend again.), but that was only for the moment. Once the match is over, then what? They're so messy, it's not like it's going to happen again. Art's heart isnt in tennis anymore, Pat is a bum, and Tashi never really liked either of them truly, her true love is tennis. They were just a way she can still be connected to it. Each person is jealous of each other in different ways and that makes it not work. Unless the point is for it to be momentary? For them to connect with each other the way they always wanted, even if it's just for one last time?

    I think you make a good point and yes killings were still happening at A1 but they were random and Spur of the moment while Birkrnau was systemized and large-scale. Blame Sophie's Choice for my think the Villla was at Birkenau as their is a scene where a group of Poles arrive by train and every implication is that it us Birkenau and the movie then pans to the villa where Mengele and Hoess are talking about there powers to kill people. That was historically incorrect and clouded my judgement where the villa was.

  • @nathalied2691
    @nathalied2691 2 дня назад

    Oh my. This is the first analysis that i think is 100% bang on and captures exactly what Guadagnino was going for. The one thing i differ from you slightlly, is i think Art and Patrick's relationship as teens was indeed the more wholesome one, but it still had toxic elements. Patrick being so dominant he doesn't let Art shine on court in the doubles is one, and the late blooming Art not being aware of his own latent desire is the major second, lol. But that ties perfectly with what you said about the ending and why it's so satisfying. Brilliant work!

The changes of scenery did leave me disoriented, which, of course, was a point the writer/ director wanted to get across. One thing...what's with the chicken? It seemed to be the only meal on the menu. I'm guessing there was a purpose to that.

    A lot of people paint Tashi as a master manipulator and while I think she is controlling, she also wants to see Art fight for what she loves. It is selfish, but for Tashi, tennis is her life and her drive. She can't do what she love the most and Art giving up on it almost felt like he given up on her. By fixing the game, she is denying herself of what she wants to see: a real match. I think she did love Art in her twisted way, though not as much as Patrick love Art.😅 That's why the ending felt so satisfying. It's like they all finally understand each other for the first time.
