First look at “🅰️”
So much scarier than black hoodie!! Love it!!
Hwang Daseul, the queen that you are.
The amount of storytelling she achieved in the juxtaposition of Dohoe and Juyeong’s two nights together cannot be overstated. It so clearly shows how different their relationship is. The first scene is sweet and awkward and so full of longing. Most of all at the end they’re cuddled close together.
But in the present it feels so different. It’s more erotic because they’re older and perhaps have more experience. It also that the emotions portrayed are different. Sex is what you can use to get closer; it’s like Dohoe is trying to use this as a shortcut to avoid all the talking and revealing. In the end, they’re no closer and perhaps have driven new wedges between themselves.
They both look to each other, but not at the same time, like gears out of sync. She really uses this moment to show that while they both want and long for each other, they’re not sure how to bridge that 12 year gap. Whatever Dohoe thinks, this isn’t about just unpausing a moment in time.
While standing in line trying to get some food in the southern Gaza Strip, he yelled at the journalist Fakri Ibrahim, saying: 'Send this picture to Israel and the world.'
No thoughts, just Vegas posing Pete to fuck him the same way he posed him the first time he offered Pete tenderness.
...No wait okay I lied I have a lot of thoughts actually, because there are other parallels between these two scenes and they're quietly driving me insane:
Pete telling Vegas to set him free by letting him die vs Pete telling Vegas to set him free by binding him
Vegas leaning over Pete with a pill in his mouth vs Vegas leaning over Pete with a condom in his mouth, when the pill was a promise of change and no further harm
(I could rotate the second image 90 degrees to show the visual parallel better but hell if the tilted camera isn't tipping me right over the edge into madness, along with Vegas framed directly between Pete's arms on bottom and the chains wrapped around his ankles on top. This post isn't meant to be about framing, but asdk;lfsj;lkj)
Pete looking up at Vegas, mutinous and trying to understand his actions, vs Pete looking up at Vegas both willing and completely aware
And afterwards, Vegas settling on the floor facing opposite Pete and meeting his eyes with a chain visually splitting them apart vs settling on the bed beside Pete and meeting his eyes with nothing in between
