Hi hi! Omg, I absolutely LOVE everything you said and I totally would have given this comment proper attention if finals hadn't been chewing me alive
( ... )
I can't really talk about this yet. My eyes keep leaking tears unexpectedly, like, they stop, and I uncurl from my den of sorrow and pain and love, and then a minute later there's shit trickling down my face again.
But.
The character I loved at first I ended up hating, the one I hated in the beginning turned out to be my favorite, and the guy I just thought was annoying became a super hottie in the second half.100% agreement. Idk if I actually hate Davus in the end or not, though. It's hard to hate him when even Hypatia constantly dismisses him (omg a main character who is sympathetic and kickass but MINDLESSLY SUPPORTS SLAVERY WTF MY BRAIN IS DEAD. DEAD. I LOVE THE SPANISH), and then Cyril (or was that Ammonius? pre-bishop Cyril is confusing) shows him the positive side, the acceptance of all side, and I just...I don't hate Davus, I just hate the world that put him in that position, and I hate a lot of his decisions
( ... )
I am SO happy you finally saw it! I mean, I was pushing it really hard but you *get* it now -- I felt exactly the same way after, that despite being a period flick it is so incredibly relevant. And SO AFFECTING. I was walking around in a legit daze after, and even in my most obsessed phases that never happens! This movie feels so ~important, you know? I want to make everyone watch it, no matter how ferocious they may be
