Hey good news. Good news. We hemmed and hawed so long about the situation with the Omelas hole that the kid in the Omelas hole is now the Adult in the Omelas hole. Still suffering exactly as much, but they've lost the charisma bump that a kid gets just from being a kid so the sense of moral urgency is pretty, you know, I mean it's still bad, but like, whatever, you know. It's some middle aged guy having a real bad day, alright, that's not that exceptional. Get over it buddy

One of my favourite moments from Lust Caution. The irony of the song just worked so well with the scene, with the Japanese geishas singing in the background and when she closes the door to sing a song about first love, which just makes her character EVEN more tragic. I mean, you just know then that’s when she was going to have to die, but its only at that moment where they can just pretend she’s an innocent youth with her lover. 

小妹妹似线 郎似针, 郎呀, 穿在一起不离分

That line was particularly heartbreaking, with Tang Wei singing it so quietly yet with so much emotions, and Tony Leung just looking at her, not saying anything else. (He always does that so well, sniff.)

“She renders herself up, is blotted out; enters the darkness of her own body, forgets her name. Immolation is what she wants, however briefly. To exist without boundaries.”

— Margaret Atwood, The Blind Assassin

“How they’d loved to cut themselves on each other, taste their own blood. We were ruinous together, she thinks. But how else can we live, these days, except in the midst of ruin?”

— Margaret Atwood, The Blind Assassin
