just a quick sharp objects word vomit that may or may not make sense.
can we just acknowledge that scene where all of camille’s grown up friends were having a get together and started crying over that movie and then that one wife started crying about how her husband didn’t want to have five children.
yeah, the women are mean, but we see such a brutality in their internal and external behaviors. like the crying was a lot—was it an attention seeking cry? or just an internal shame that you won’t be able to have another child. cause it’s clear there is a message about a woman’s worth being directly tied to her incubator capabilities. so societally ingrained it sometimes becomes the only thing they can focus on. if the woman can’t provide another child, what’s her purpose? that they didn’t feel like woman until a baby was inside of them.
the fact that they even go on to say, TO CAMILLE WHO LOST A SISTER AT A YOUNG AGE, that she wouldn’t be able to feel the loss bc she doesn’t have children. come on. it was rlly good line to show just how deep being a mother matters as a status symbol. as a way to be human or garner sympathy. as if those mothers even cared about those two girls when they were alive.
it’s even more crazier with how lax everyone in the town is about the murders, so focused with betting on whether it’s a grieving teenager or father. yet the tears come out during the movie. idek.
