in any given fictional situation, there is exactly one character who is At Fault and every other character involved is a passive victim. media literacy is when you correctly identify and condemn this character

uma thurman should not have been in the movie. quynh should have been the big bad. the movie should have been about the emotional weight of andy and quynh reconnecting and andy's mortality that should have been contrasted with nile coming to terms with her new immortality and what that means for her and how that affects her family with the subplot of booker earning forgiveness and learning how to live with his ghosts and not just survive and they should have Talked About It, especially joe and nicky, who were undeniably the ones most hurt with his betrayal and uma thurman should not have been in the fucking movie

i physically/mentally/spiritually/emotionally cannot stop thinking about how much jack LOOKS at robby

there are so many shots where robby is actively trying not to be perceived and jack is staring at him like he can't get enough of him, like every single microexpression robby makes is his & his alone, and i'm OBSESSED

even when robby literally isn't paying attention and jack is in a different room jack is looking at him, constantly assessing where he's at and what he's feeling, and it is such an intense and obvious sign of his love for robby (platonic or not) that i cannot stomach it

jack sees robby even when robby feels emotionally at his ugliest and he never even remotely flinches away from his desire to figure out what robby is feeling and it makes their dynamic so fascinating to me because you have two deeply empathetic, perceptive men who are hyperaware of each other (to the point where there are multiple times where they interact with each other or move to meet one another without even looking) and are not afraid of this obvious depth of love

the only other person robby comes close to sharing this sort of non-verbal understanding with is dana, and even then it feels like there are parts of each other the other can't fully see. the clear demonstration that jack & robby know each other as deeply and as intimately as they would a romantic partner (in some cases more so) has genuinely hooked me from the start and i can't handle it -- this is like... hannigram levels of unspoken love to me

“The police spend very little of their time dealing with violent criminals—indeed, police sociologists report that only about 10% of the average police officer’s time is devoted to criminal matters of any kind. Most of the remaining 90% is spent dealing with infractions of various administrative codes and regulations: all those rules about how and where one can eat, drink, smoke, sell, sit, walk, and drive. If two people punch each other, or even draw a knife on each other, police are unlikely to get involved. Drive down the street in a car without license plates, on the other hand, and the authorities will show up instantly, threatening all sorts of dire consequences if you don’t do exactly what they tell you. The police, then, are essentially just bureaucrats with weapons. Their main role in society is to bring the threat of physical force—even, death—into situations where it would never have been otherwise invoked, such as the enforcement of civic ordinances about the sale of untaxed cigarettes.”
