Playing House
Can we take a moment to appreciate how AMAZINGLY WRITTEN MARY IS?! Because she is, honest to god, one of the best written horror protagonists in recent memory.
Like, where do I even begin???
The way the Backrooms itself BRILLIANTLY connects to her own childhood trauma and how it is ingeniously tied into her opening monologue?!
How said trauma defines and develop her character, and how did she become a therapist so that she can prevent people from suffering what her mother had to endure?!
How her path/outlook on life connects to and contrasts with Clark's... AND HER ABSOLUTELY GLORIOUS AND COMPLETELY VALID CRASHOUT WHERE SHE CALLS OUT HIS BS?!?!
I LOVE HER SO MUCH!!!!!!!!
the backrooms movie made me realize that my deepest fear isn't monsters or labyrinths or even death. it's failure.
seeing clark divorced, struggling with money, no friends, sitting and drinking and festering in his own self pity brought tears to my eyes faster than anything ever had before.
I saw him out of breath hopping around on the peg leg with the pirate impression talking about how you don't even need credit to buy from him and I was so close to sobbing it wasn't even funny. putting on a face when you're breaking down inside with no hope is terrifying to me.
I was so sad during the kitchen table scene because everything Mary said was true, he was lost now. It's like seeing someone you wished would succeed just give up and fall asleep in their grave.
Clark is gonna stick with me for a long time.
Clark has got to be one of the best-written horror antagonists in recent memory, and the thing I love most about his character is how the film makes you understand his hardships, while at the same time not using them to justify, excuse, or downplay his actions.
You really get a clear idea of how his own hardships inspire the bad decisions he makes. And at the same time, it doesn't pull any punches in showing you the consequences of those decisions, which ultimately resulted in the creation of the Captain Clark entity.
Yes, I don't doubt that he was going through a very difficult time in his life, but it goes without saying that it doesn't give him the right to lash out at everyone and make their lives difficult. And it sure as hell didn't give him the right to take out his frustrations on his spouse or Mary!!!
That's why I love (to hate) him so much! He's not some run-of-the-mill mustache-twirling villain. He's understandable, relatable, and even sympathetic! And at the same time, the film is smart enough to not use those things that make him understandable, relatable, and sympathetic to excuse the harm and hurt he chose to inflict.
P.S. Mary's crashout on him was absolutely glorious to behold!

if brienne is knighted, and i go back and forth a bit on whether i would prefer this to happen or not, i want it to be poignant. brienne was wholesome chungus knighted to a room of cheers and then was later appointed lord commander of the kingsguard (lol) in the show. it is not something that can even give me much catharsis as it was intended to bc it cant help but feel fraudulent and untrue to the ethos of her character and arc in my eyes. if she gets knighted, not that this officiality is what actually defines a “true knight”, that is the whole interrogation and deconstruction happening in these books yadda yadda, i would like it more if it was very private and maybe not even witnessed by anyone else. if it is denied her by most of her society, which it realistically will be, it is still true to her, to jaime, a select few, and, most importantly, the reader. i think that would hit the right beats for me. i like brienne as the true hero of this story who wont really receive her dues and be rewarded, wont be embraced and heralded, but the text nonetheless making the case that this fact does not render what she is any less meaningful. i think that is bittersweet in a p beautiful way for her character
#an ending for brienne in which she transcends her gender/class through exceptionalism #spits in the face of everything grmm has done with her character so far #brienne is exploited for being a naive heiress by the knights in renly's camp #despite outperforming them in the 'male' art of combat #and she's as unpopular in renly's camp after winning the melee (an incredible feat) as before #just as selflessly defending a group of orphans (the act of a true knight) gets her the same kingslayer's whore epithet as cersei #a lack of approbation doesn't stop her from trying to fulfill her oaths. that's what makes her endearing! #brienne winning over a select few while being misunderstood by westeros at large is so much more attuned to what asoiaf is *about* #than an 'and everybody clapped' ending
via @fortunate-hal
her getting knighted by such an infamous knight who is largely despised and viewed as a complete failure at knighthood by his society is something that i do actually like, and think works with this:
as you’ve said before, jaime and brienne’s relationship is one between misunderstood people who are attracted to qualities in each other that will never be acknowledged by most of westeros. but the truth will always be there between the two of them, this is what defines them

This might be a hot take, but I thought what they did for the "monster" of the Backrooms was ABSOLUTELY GENIUS! How it organically builds upon how the Backrooms work, how it connects to the real world and its people (specifically Clark), and how it creates something that is dangerous and terrifying, and yet at the same time, frighteningly human!
Let me ask you something. Do you think it's interesting that out of all the "people" that were in the Backrooms, Clark's was the only one that was actually dangerous and was actually going around killing people? That's because the Backrooms remembers things in the real world, and "the more times it remembers, the less it does" until it only remembers the details that stand out the most, like how, when you remember a childhood bedroom, you only remember specific furniture or decorations. And the same goes for people!
Because Clark's life is dominated by his anxieties, frustration, fears, and, most importantly, his desire to lash out at everything he thinks is to blame, the Backrooms only remembered those negative feelings. And eventually they all culminated into this dangerous entity. Just like how he lashed out and attacked others that he believes are the fault of where he is, this entity of his own (unintentional) making lashes out and attacks everyone in sight, because, as you can see by the expression on its face, it too is driven by those same anxieties and fears!
That's what makes this my favourite Backrooms entity! Because it's not just another murderous fiend that kills for the heck of it. It's something that beautifully and brilliantly connects to the world it's a part of, AND MOST IMPORTANTLY THE PEOPLE IN THE WORLD, and helps make Clark one of the best horror movie "villains" in recent memory!
