Date: November 14th, 2024 3:09 AM Author: ,.,..,.,..,.,.,.,..,.,.,,..,..,.,,..,.,,. the 2008 film was mostly traditional in its moral messaging, but in a fantastical sense. marriage and natality are offered as worthwhile goals, repairing relationships is better than abandoning them, and traditions such as weddings are important.
but all of this is idealized as a realistic endpoint for a libertine urbanite life. that IS fantasy. all the natural tradeoffs between tradition and modernity are sort of just fairy-taled away toward the end.
this film for some reason was also 2½ hours long, which means that it had time to develop a full three-act structure with buildup, crisis, and resolution across several characters, at some length. it's an odd document of the hyper-consumerist epoch of the bush era immediately prior to the financial crisis. it's a whole lot of monetary and emotional indulgence.
apparently one of the main interpretations of the show is that the characters are actually written as gay men, and retrofitted into a female context. maybe to an extent, but it seems more like the application of a girlish fantasy narrative about horsies and castles and princes to the realm of adult women in the modern world.
that's how the narrative resolves its crises. if they were actually gay men, the resolution would have been more druggy and sexualized.
also, the rowan-looking character was the only one who actually got her tits out in this film.
