Whump Prompt #2

The whumper, an influential figure, gives a speech or holds a meeting with a good amount of people to make what they have going on under their podium a considerable risk. As they speak with unwavering confidence, their precious whumpee is stripped, bound and gagged inches from their legs. 

Even better, their body is contorted in a stress position - one that they won’t be able to endure quietly for much longer. Despite this, they won’t dare to make a single sound. They won’t dare to let anyone know of their whumper’s little secret. Why?

“Because if anyone so much as suspects you’re down here, I will grind your bones to dust.” 

Unfortunately, after a while it’s getting hard to stay completely quiet. Maybe. . . just a whimper, just a whine, they couldn’t possibly hear them, right? 

Taking the risk, they let the broken sound escape pathetically. The whumper’s quiet snarl is enough to cement that the whumpee will be doing more than just whimpering after the meeting . . .

some thoughts on disobedience (2017)

Basically if you’ve been freaking out because every reviewer under the sun has made this movie out to be like...a step away from softcore porn you don’t have to be

ok I feel like everyone really just wants to know about the spit so here r my thots on the sex scene

It wasn’t anywhere near as explicit as everyone basically made it out to be: there wasn’t actually any nudity although there was in other scenes in the film including the het sex scene 

most of the movie was composed of long tracking close-ups on someone's face but the sex scene was closer to a montage. I wasn't expecting that because of the observational style of the rest of the movie but I vastly preferred it to a 5 minute long take. Everyone basically describes the scene as a step away from pornography but I personally got the sense that they didn't want to show any more than they had to in order to convey the emotion of the scene which I appreciated given the possible alternatives

THE SPIT. The spit scene was kind of in the middle of the sex montage so it just read as this still, intimate moment between them which made it a lot less weird than it could have been. 

Again, no nudity, which was really surprising. Most of the scene stayed focused on their faces and how they reacted to each other and the actual sex really wasn't that out there. I think most people's reactions came from a) general homophobia b) the way the scene contrasted with the tone of the rest of the film and c) the general scarcity of female sexual pleasure onscreen...the fact that ppl are comparing it to blue is the warmest color is honestly wild to me

The post-coital scene was really lovely and kind of bittersweet and out of the whole movie really showed you the most about the two characters and how they felt for each other. Like no jokes that scene was amazing and probably one of my favorite scenes in the filme.

some other general observations

It was shot in a super observational way with long takes/minimal sound which is always kind of a hit or miss with me but they really nailed it. It was a movie structured around the unsaid and the suggested and the formal stuff really drove that home. I was riveted the entire time even if I was just watching Rachel McAdams get kosher groceries.

The writing was superb. They did an excellent job of showing everyone's points of view without moralizing or condemning. I overheard people sympathizing with all three of the main characters in turn in the bathroom line.

I think both the Rachel's nailed their performances but Rachel McAdams was definitely the standout for me, because the story ends up being more about her growth.

Their relationship was beautifully written and so human and there was none of the hesitation you usually see in straight actresses altho Rachel McAdams did seem like slightly more into it  (so like a strong case for gaychel perhaps) they were both super super good imo. the “long take close up on the face” formula worked so well in the scenes with the two of them together which kind of reminded me of That Scene from Mulholland Drive in terms of like...general tenderness. 

Rachel McAdams’ accent was okay I guess...I’m not really great with accents and there was a definite difference between how she talked and the rest of the cast but her character was pretty soft-spoken and it fit

In conclusion i actually fucking loved the movie...i’m not jewish so i can’t speak on that front but as a gay woman I thought it was really well executed on all counts...i’d die for the Rachels anytime
