I need everyone to understand that I am NOT okay about Audrey Hall right now!!!!
Like I am actually rocking back and forth in the corner over a fictional woman’s emotional trajectory???
GERALD who looked at her like she was something precious. Like she hadn’t already been overlooked and set aside by life enough.
Annnnnd for the love of god, she was HAPPY. do you understand??? not polite-smiling, not coping, not “this will do” happy—
GLOWING. SOFT. ALIVE AGAIN.
And now I am being asked to just… ACCEPT SIEGFRIED as being the ‘new’ person…
SIEGFRIED “I have a feeling and immediately lock it in a box and throw away the key” FARNON??
SIEGFRIED “romantic expression is a theoretical concept” FARNON???
I am supposed to believe this man is going to give her what GERALD ALREADY DID WITH ZERO EFFORT???
This is emotional whiplash.
This is me standing in my living room pointing at the tv like a victorian woman diagnosed with hysteria.
Like I SEE the slow burn. SEE the depth. SEE the “real love is complicated” argument.
YOU SHOWED ME A VERSION OF HER THAT WAS LIT UP FROM WITHIN AND NOW YOU WANT ME TO DOWNGRADE???
I am glad I decided to watch this in a binge watch cause I would have lost my shit completely if this was live! I do not want to be manipulated like this.
Thanks for coming to my breakdown.
