No Gets How Funny Their Interactions Are Because He's So Nauseatingly Apologetic Yet Fake At The Same

I just watched anora and immediately went to search for what the directer's interpretation of what the ending was and suffice to say I really don't think that is a good explanation.

Anora is a sex worker, we see how in the times she's with Ivan she's doing that, that's what she knows how to do. We aren't told much about her life but from what we know about sex workers it can be a traumatic livelyhood. For example I think her going by Ani is possibly a way for her to create a persona so the emotional toll of what she's doing doesn't affect her as badly.

Throughout the first hour of the film she's living this fantasy life and she's probably thinking now she can get out. However when Ivan's parents disapproval come into the picture that is shattered. The whole time she's looking for Ivan and getting the annulment she's actively fighting against it as she does not want the fantasy to end. This is also where her character comes into play she's strong and independent. She wants to be taken care of but realistically you've only got yourself in this world. Her character directly contrasts Ivan. He's a childish playboy who just wants to party and piss off his parents. His parents defending his every action and Toros cleaning up his fuck ups does not help him at all either. He does not stand up to his parents because he knows hell be cut off, he can entertain the idea but never truly live it. (referencing when he proposes to Ani) All this to say he's a spineless mommy's boy and unfortunately Anora would not have gotten her fantasy life from him.

This brings me to the ending. I'm not gonna generalize her I'm just going to analyze based off of her actions in the movie. Also what happened between her and Igor I'm gna label as the car scene.

Anora has insulted Igor the entire time however he is still nice to her because ultimately she got screwed over and put in a situation she did not ask for. And even after he's still helping her driving her home when Ivan just screwed her over and used her. She obviously allowed herself to get comfortable and allowed herself to get feelings for him. She's emotionally drained and probably traumatised. Throughout her time with Ivan she was sleeping with him. I heavily disagree with the director saying she slept with Ivan to "take back her power" and symbolizing her "entering into a new relationship where she has control"

That implies what she had with Ivan was a relationship. It was not. I think the poor girl was so traumatised from the situation and this guy was being kind to her, so she did what she thought she should to thank him. I that situation he just sat back and let her (i also don't like him in that situation) HOWEVER he did stop when she started broke down. And I think it was because him trying to kiss her was the first shred of humanity she was shown since she met Ivan. He was simply kind to her because unlike Ivan he didn't want anything from her. Which I don't think she's experianced much. The entire time she was referred to as a prostitute, hooker and escort. Meant to demean and dehumanise her. Ultimately the whole ordeal was dehumanising and I think she reacted in a way that was normal to her. Except this time it was much worse and she ended up breaking down.

They're bring back the old glitter animals pfps on TikTok....

We're so back

Glinda really had an entire musical number expounding on the theme of "success in life is not about being highly qualified or even competent, but manipulating people's superficial perception of you." and then she went into POLITICS. truly the #girlboss representation the world has earned

CRISTINA AND PRESTONS WEDDINGGG

I don't think I've ever seen a more well written break up wedding.

Up until that point, their relationship devolved into Burke wanting something like moving in together and Cristina giving him what he wants because she loves him even if it's not what she wanted. She was his unseen hand. She, as an intern, wasn't that far from his level of brilliance.

Then he proposes, and she says yes but wants a courthouse wedding with Mer and Derek if Preston wanted him there. But then that becomes what him and his mother wanted. And she does it all for him again. She sacrifices her personal preferences to make him happy. And that's also what bothered C*lin M*rlow. Because she loved Burke enough to do those things for him but not for M*rlow. (I HATE MARLOW HES A CREEP AND WEIRD AND GROSS)

Then the wedding happened. (Mama took my eyebrows) The choker is such obvious symbolism for her becoming trapped in this life she never wanted, never had any desire for. And of course she freaks out, but Meredith comes through. Except Burke realized what he was doing. He realised he was trapping her. She wouldn't be able to do the things she wanted to if she was trapped. So he let her go. He loved her enough to let her go. And that is so heartbreaking, they're the most tragic to me. It was so obvious they loved eachother except they could not give eachother what the other needed.

When she gets back to the apartment and she's like he's gone and Meredith is confused because his things are still there. But his CD collection is gone. His luck scrub cap is gone. His trumpet is gone. Only Cristina would notice that. She knew him well enough to notice that. And the relief in her voice when she said "I'm free" except it was coupled with the pain because even though she got what she wanted, she lost someone she cherished dearly. Oh myngodd guys i can't.

Phoebe Hong is probably my favourite character from FLF and FHH. She's so well written, like from the beginning we are told she's good at manipulating people and despite not being an operative she's damn good at it. But it's breadcrunbed throughout FLF. The best twists are the twists that are right under your nose and once you realise it, all the pieces suddenly fit together.

I specifically love how throughout the novel it's emphasised how she's not an operative. However that is a half truth, yes she's not an operative of the Nationalist party like Orion and Silas. No one said anything about the Communist party though. However it's expected that she's good at doing operative adjacent things because she's surrounded by operatives and has been for years.

Another aspect I love is her complicated relationship with her mother. She's so similar to her mother and I think that's why her mother spent so much time with her. Oliver and Orion were her legacy but Phoebe was hers. However how can she also love someone who used her older brothers.

ALSO Phoebe struggling with her identity is something I identify with (purely because of personal reasons) It's written in such a realistic way too. For years she was what people saw her as and nothing more, a frivolous teenager, a highly trained operative, a loving sister. She kept those parts of herself so separate that she lost sight of where those characters ended and Phoebe began or she forgot that those seperate identities are still her.

I just love this character I don't think I've ever felt more seen in my life.

Hi Tareq, I'm so sorry about what has been happening in Palestine, I'm truly shocked at what is occurring. I'm happy to spread your story and will try to help as much as possible.

iwtv is great because sam reid was like “ever since I was a little boy I dreamed of being lestat” and eric bogosian was like “the most erotic experience of my life was watching a dracula play and I want someone to bite my neck” and assad zaman was like “i think I should get to have a threesome with both daniels” and no one stopped them and jacob anderson didn't say any of that but he did deliver a performance too good for the emmys
