Saltburn makes me wanna throw up. Not because it's perverted (it's not really, it's just got a little cinnamon). No it's got so much symbolism and folklore in that it makes me wanna vibrate out of my skin and I'm not even a folkorist
#they speak#saltburn#i saw someone saying that it's like a proper old fashioned fairytale (not a disney one) and i hard agree#you've got theseus and the minatour#you've got the labyrinth#you've got henry viii#you've got shakespeare#you've got 80s/90s kids tv shows#you've got robin goodfellow and herne the hunter#you've got the oak king and the emperor's new clothes#you've got homoerotic vampires#and vampires in the old sense#you've got lust for a person and their station so much that if you can't have them you'll consume everything and still be left wanting#it's eat the rich coming from someone who is already relatively wealthy and how that translates to not actually helping anyone#you've got a wealthy man cosplaying as being poor to get what he wants#ugh#its a reflection of the poisonous way british classism consumes and consumes and consumes#and it's from the perspective of someone how was hugely benefitted from the system so ofc it's not gonna be an in depth essay on tearing it#all down
