Bean/Sela
GAHH. I just watched Bean. It was legitimately life-owning. I remembered everything from the first million times I watched it, but it was so much easier to take in, not being 12 anymore. God, I can't believe that was five years ago when I first saw it. I kept noticing all these quotes that I've probably been hearing in my sleep ever since. And, oh my god. Peter MacNicol was FABULOUS. I can't get over how much I love him! If he doesn't return to 24 next year, I am so watching Numb3rs for him.
Anyway, then I fell asleep, and woke up 2 hours later...that's basically where I am right now. I had this dream about this politically altered society a la 1984, and Patricia Wettig and Sela Ward were totally there. Yeah, the leaders used them to entice me to admit my position in the revolution out in the open. It was hot, though. I compared life to ER. *shrugs* So right now I'm watching The Guardian...might skip some of it since I've already seen it. I love it, but the one weather thing that terrifies me is the stuff that happens in water. It's just such a gigantic place to get lost. At least with tornadoes you have some idea where the hell you are because they aren't more than a mile wide, but you can't just run away from a 20 foot wave, you know? It's scary.
Anyway, yeah, there's this part I love near the end, when he tells her that he's not a rescue swimmer anymore, and then as he's leaving he like, kisses her head and hugs her from above. It's just so hardcore because like...that was the reason she wanted a divorce, basically. So it was like he was finally open to committing himself only to her. And you can totally see that she's confused, and when he does that it's like she's sort of squirmy and she doesn't want to get really deep into the whole idea, but at the same time she can't help totally being in love with him. So she's sort of divided, and you can see it so much on her face because she's not even close to wrapping her head around the whole thing. There's just this way she moves her eyes at the beginning of it that I love. When I first saw this, I was so mad that he didn't tell her he quit at first and use it as a way to get back together with her (which probably would have happened anyway), but at the same time it's so sweet that he didn't do that and just like...totally respected her. God, I love Sela. I just...love her and stuff. It's a lot like Helen's last scene in Bobby because it's just like, one moment totally defines the dedication of two people to each other. Samantha is shown as weak but seriously human with her boundaries and everything let down for the time, and Martin Sheen was really good at showing how the tragic circumstances naturally bring them together and show why they love each other so much in the first place, how he's 100% committed to her, no questions. And I definitely saw that same sort of thing in that scene in The Guardian. In this case it was sort of like, that came along with the question of whether they could be apart. And yeah, I basically led into that other thing because I need to tag Helen in more posts. Two can play this game. Even though...it's just me. But whatever. Don't interrupt my moment of smooth talking.
