Ok Im being super Caroholic today but thats ok because im moving and I need to cope. Lets talk about this scene for a second. Not only do they see each other for the first time, which is in itself the beginning of their relationship, but the symbolism of stopping the usual is focused with the train set. Just a scene before, Therese turns on that train set and looks at it gloomily as she realizes that this is yet another day where she has to make things “snappy” and go back home to Richard. Its symbolizes the monotonous life cycle she had been living. Everything is the same every day. An endless loop. Then enter Carol, who accidentally turns of the train and looks up to see Therese. She literally and figuratively stopped the loop. As soon as Therese sees her, her life cycle is changed. And so is Carol’s; who in her own way had been living under a loop.

This is beautiful. I entirely forgot about how much attention is paid to the train in the novel until you pointed this out; what a clever page to screen transfer! “The little train was always running when she stepped out of the elevator in the morning, and when she finished work in the evening.”

This is just a single line from the entire passage about the train, but it really stands out. It’s a dull cycle that she’s stuck in, but at least it’s something constant that she can cling to. Insert some revelation about heteronormativity and her relationship with Richard.

The next line after it though: “She felt it cursed the hand that threw its switch each day. In the jerk of its nose around the curve, […] she could see a frenzied and futile pursuit of a tyrannical master.“

In a way, the train is her. It’s like an outward manifestation of her own stagnation. She’s satisfied enough with her life because she has a job and a relationship, but she knows deep down that something is missing and has this tremendous urge to break out of the monotony.

And to think, in the film they captured all of that with the simple act of Carol bumping the switch. She is the change that Therese needed. I swear, I fall more in love with this film and novel every time I look at it. Remind me why it didn’t win the Oscar again? Oh, right.

Lovely analysis. Every micro moment in the film taken into deep consideration. Falling more in love with the film everyday. 🚂
