Ok so I watched carol. And I didn't like it... I thought it was a little dragged out. And carol I felt like just made me sad. Like fuck the world ya know? But I related the dragged out to the way they must have felt, the longing the endured. Wbu?
Yeah right, just fuck it. Fuck being forced into conversion therapy. Fuck your abusive ex-husband. Fuck trying to keep custody of your child.
Ok, I’m gonna say it one (1) last time. Carol Aird was a gay woman in the 50s.She was gay in the 50s.She was a woman.GayWomanIn the 50s
It’s. Not. That. Easy. She couldn’t just say “Fuck it” and expect that to solve all her problems.And she couldn’t be bold or too obvious in her advances towards Therese either, because again, she was a Gay Woman in the 50s.They spent most of the movie/book longing for each other because being a lesbian back then was not acceptable.
And I also think that, although Carol loved Therese from the start and desperately wanted to be with her, she doesn’t want to subject her to the way gay women were treated back then. She’s experiencing it firsthand, and I think she tries to protect Therese from that, even if that means keeping her at a distance and not giving in to her desires.
Because I think Carol would always blame herself if their relationship causes problems for Therese, and I think that’s also part of why she is somewhat toning it down, at least in the beginning.A part of her just wants Therese to have an easier life then the one she’s about to choose.
