Thoughts in hindsight

There have been many occasions since all the Belfast promo and seeing the movie that certain thoughts have invaded but I never bother to air them because there was nothing too substantial to bring up, IMO. But as time goes on and more articles and interviews are done, some of these thoughts become repetitive and I can’t help but take time to air some.

First, I really did enjoy Belfast. I look forward to seeing it again. One thing that surprised me was lack of air time Jamie got in the movie. Based on all promo you’d think the was in the most of the time. He wasn’t. Cait was and Ciarán was. I felt Cait and Jamie had chemistry but it wasn’t fully on display in the movie. Later I realized: what lacked in the movie made up in their interviews together. They had a genuine good time with each other and had fun banter. And THEN I realized…this is brother/sister banter. This is the kind of on screen/off screen relationship banter that I would interpret as sibling-like. I didn’t get the vibe that I would want to ship them. They joked around in interviews, got through their awkward moments as two costars should. Unlike another one of Cait’s costars, where the vibe screams “more than costars”. We saw Jamie and Cait on the red carpet with appropriate room for Jesus. “But Jamie is married, and so is Cait.” Well duh. But how many red carpets have there been with Cait and Sam crotch to crotch? “But Cait has a Significant Other.” Does she? Or does she, and that’s who she is crotch to crotch with. Secondly, Jamie mentioned on a few occasions that he and Cait didn’t have the opportunity to dine together that would normally happen between a group of costars during filming. I don’t know if it was lack of time, covid, etc. I don’t recall Jamie specifying but anyone can correct me. As it’s been said, the movie began filming in September. But on this clapper, the date is 26/08/20.

Less than a month later, September 19, 2020, we got the trio pic in Soho London.

Many of the Belfast cast interviews have said they filmed around Surry, which is about an hour from Soho. Seeing their photo in Soho plus seeing Cait and Sam in the same trailer unmasked during covid has me thinking many thoughts, especially when she couldn’t even go out to dinner with her costars from the movie. This brings me to my final point, one that I know is getting beaten to death but…having a quote from Sam about her movie and Jamie wasn’t quoted is actually more baffling than the bedsheet. Why couldn’t Jamie be quoted? They were doing promo together at the time of this interview. I don’t get it. To want to separate yourself from your costar yet Cait always brings him up or the interviewer brings him up. I’d almost guarantee the next film Cait does, she won’t be asked about Jamie, she will be asked about Sam. (I feel like I went on a tangent but I hope this made sense as I’ve been thinking about some of this for awhile and the VF article finally made me say it).
