They Didn't Understand The Assignment. 🫠

Im a little confused about saltburn tho cuz everyone keeps saying Oliver is gay and had feelings for Felix but i really dont think he did. Like he blatantly admits to hating him and he’s clearly down to do depraved shit with people he has no feelings for (venetia, farleigh) and they literally show how he planned all this shit out and he got his end goal and i truly dont think Felix was anything other than the key piece of his little plan. Am i supposed to believe this little mastermind twink genuinely loved this man??? All signs point to absolutely not

The 'Lestappen' relationship summed up:

The picture. Everyone poses naturally and then there's two mf unecessarily close, it is muscles memory as if they have a 1-2 podium 😭

CHARLES LECLERC + VIRGIN MARY 

(insp. + statue)

The way. Wille. Calmly. Shut the door. On his mother face.

How luisa will have to introduce lando everywhere with his first wag conjoined at the hip

People who hate Lestappen cause they hate Max dominance, or hate Charles for trying to win. Keep talking. We are #67

I'm trying to understand the hate Farleigh receives and why we are in fact pushed to hate him in the movie ?

Farleigh Start :

Served cunt

Spoke frankly, Was right.

Fucked the devil.

Survived.

He's there to remind that what we see is manipulation. His interventions show that every conversation is hypocritical. Knowing all of it he eventually broke down too. There is not a single ounce of true love in this story.

I admit it's disturbing if we absolutely wanted to see Oliver and Felix "they'll fix each other" blah blah blah.

I didn't read the book. And clearly. You have to read it to understand a thing. It's fun, with jokes and comic situations that made me genuinely laugh. And I like the complexity of Henry but that's it cause we didn't have so much more...

Apparently, they have cut a lot of parts and characters. Well, clearly too much, because the chemistry between Alex and Henry is coming from nowhere. Like there's objectively no real story for 45 minutes but realisators visibly assumed book's fans would get it by adding all the missing parts (is it working?) Eventually, the result is that from an outside pov, the sex scenes are then a bit cringe cause story gave us no reason to believe.

There's an inbalance in acting between the two actors and it's really obvious and quite disturbing in the emotional scenes like during the Paris bed scene, the fight/argue scene. I'm sorry for the man who's playing Alex but he struggled to be convincing.

I don't like the "America saves us all" propaganda so the end was frustrating. Alex discourt came so randomly, I thought Henry would have talk more with his older brother and sister, I thought he would also do a coming out or something insteed of a balcony scene, cliché af.

But in the end, that was 2 fun hours watching it, it's cute.

OK, so I understand better what takes me out of the film. Alex's actor (Taylor Pérez) is unsympathetic (is it the role?) and it seems like he doesn't play... His gaze expresses the same emotion throughout the movie.
