I understand how some could relate the age of Emma with the lesbian “on the hunt” trope but I also think how normal unfortunately a teenager with identity issues might try to date someone older. I also see her hyper sexuality supporting her identity crisis especially with how quickly the movie portrays her whims. But then again I have BPD 😂 I feel it gave it a more realistic feel to her emotional inconsistencies and need for acceptance. From her friends it seemed like they were adding some pressure on her for sexual experiences. Even her eating habits in the beginning of the movie I think showed her insatiable appetite the need for something more
Something more than her and something that she can’t channel from a relationship with herself. She relies on stimuli like smoking eating and sex etc
I still get the chills when I remember the long lesbian scene close to my mom and my sister. Our silence is still recorded in my mind. My sister didn't stand any more and set off for the kitchen. We never spoke about this movie.
Just started the video but i want to say i actually really enjoyed ehat this film whats attempting to do but i was one of the people who were totally taken aback and out of the film's world during the long, long, explicit sex scene.
Edit:: great video essay, I never truly reflected on the plot and character development because of the before mentioned scene taking priority in all my thoughts and discussions about this film. Earned a subscriber! Love how you are able to get into a deep analysis without "losing the plot," literally.
i was literally just watching your love witch video and then i was blessed with this one. must be my lucky day 💙💙💙
Thanks Eyeromnium! That’s so sweet of you. 🩵💙🩵
I remember this movie was praised for being a LGBT film that didn’t hold back. But now when I see it as an adult, I only see how the film was needlessly explicit. I feel like it used the female protagonists and twisted scenes to be almost pornographic. It’s too uncomfortable…
I prefer other LGBT films like “But I’m a Cheerleader” :)
Thank you for leaving a comment on this video about this film that makes sense lol.
Despite the severe exploitation Lea & Adèle(especially) suffered they managed to give brilliant performances & it's only owing to them the film will stand the test of time l feel.
This story has one of the most realistic portrayals of mourning the loss of love.
I love your essay full of insights. 🩵
You pick up on colours as a tangible character in a film itself. I like that. 😘🩷
Please do one one 'Ghost world' if you like, the colour red defines that film & it's one of my favourites too.❤
Thanks for the suggestion, Ananya! I have a bit of a list, so it’ll probably be a while before I get to looking into it. 🤍 As for the performances, I think you’re right about them helping this film stand the test of time.
@@yilyau You have a list!🤩
Oh that's so exciting!! I look forward to your uploads!🩷
Thank you, Ananya! I appreciate your support. ☺️❤️
ive been looking for video essays on this movie for years, thank u for this
Do you have any perspectives on the recent film Priscilla? There’s a lot of interesting ways in which the cinematography, set design, and actor placement center’s Priscilla Presley’s (and typical heterosexual feminine) emotional experience and how her perspective changes throughout the film. Also super interested in your perspective on Eileen which also came out in 2023.
even if I dont agree with everything, I still love and appreciate all the effort and research you put into your videos💓💓
So.
I dated this girl who was 7 years older than me
She was my first girlfriend
Had an obsession with "youre either gay or straight"
Made me watch this movie with her like it was the best movie ever.
I remember being a little bothered by it, but i was pretty not into gay culture and had a pretty baseline (but convicted) idea of feminism so i was like. I just dont get this.
Oh nope she was a predator too 😂
I used sympathize with emma as well but then I got older 😂
There's a song by Joni Mitchell that comes to mind that's always haunted me. "The Gallery." I think the parallels to this film complement the story. I would very much like to both read the comic and watch this film (though I'm sad to hear about the experience of the actors :( )
the film is timeless and will endure
Your channel has grown so much
Thanks for the comment, Sephoramandondo. ☺️🌸 I guess it has grown if you’ve been here for a while.
Adele Exarchopoulos is so beautiful. also reminds me of Millie Bobbie Brown
i love what you do with every video you make, thank you
Np! Thanks for watching, Candle. 🕯️ I appreciate the support. 🙌🏻
WOW excellent analysis
38:20 - "Both actresses seemingly agreed that they never wanted to work with Kechiche again."
Do you have sources about that ?
I know Léa Seydoux did say something like that, but I'm pretty sure Adèle Exarchopoulos said the exact opposite.
‘Did a Director Push Too Far?’ in ‘The New Yorker’ by Emily Greenhouse.
Article writes:
‘Then, later in summer, Seydoux and Exarchopoulos said that the shooting had been unbearable and they would never again work with Kechiche.’
This was back in 2013 though, she may have changed her mind since. I didn’t mention her current views though, just Seydoux.
It seems like the exact quotes comes from an interview with Marlow Stern:
Stern: Would you ever work with Kechiche again?
Léa: Never.
Adèle: I don’t think so.
I don’t know if Adèle has spoken about Kechiche again, but I think what she’s mainly defending is the other criticisms of ‘Blue…’
In 2023, according to the LA Times, it appears she’s more defending if she had a right to tell a lesbian story: ‘I was young - I was 18 when I went to Cannes. [Lesbians] were saying, “We don’t have s*x like this.” But this is a movie about first desire - a first love story. I think, in my small experience, there [is] one language that is unique - how you have s*x with someone. So, for me, it was really stupid. I didn’t really see the [argument].’
@@yilyau at 6:45 in the following video :
ua-cam.com/video/c0Hitwd059g/v-deo.html
Q. Would you like to work with Abdellatif Kechiche the director of the life of Adele ?
A. Frankly, I wouldn't be able to refuse because I rarely felt as free on set (with him)
I don't doubt your sincerity, you have an actually balanced point of view on the matter and your video is well researched, but I think you're wrong on this, even in the interview you mentioned, she (supposedly) said "I don't think so".
Taking that phrase to conclude that "Both actresses seemingly agreed that they never wanted to work with Kechiche again" is a bit too much of a jump for me, Adèle's answer was more nuanced.
Regardless, it's a great video.
Thanks for the correction. Sorry about that! I'm still pretty new to this UA-cam thing.
@@yilyau No problem, as I said, you're video is excellent.
I hope to see more soon :)
@@benjamindeharo314 Thank you for the kind words, Benjamin!
Thanks
Thanks again, Ananya 🩵
I think the other girl in the film was better than Lea. The film is about her not Lea
I also think that the voraciousness of Adele's eating may be meant to say something about her sexual appetite (not such as stretch, obviously). She even eats at night in bed.
the biggest reason as to why i love this film is because of how true to life it is. As if the camera is following a real persons life and not like a polished and over dramatic movie
For that reason, and the amazing acting, it is one of my all-time favorite movies.
Coming off of the 2023 oscars, it blows my mind that the MPAA screwed this movie over with an NC-17 rating, but let Poor Things get away with an R. Great film, it deserved better.
i love your Kasane profile picture, it’s def one of the best illustrations from the manga. great video as well :)
Thank you, glad someone recognised the manga.
i loved this movie!!! even if people see it as flawed. i did not find the intimacy scenes bad or extreme... but people are weird.
The scenes were probably "male gaze" but I really think this is truly female gaze. Female demographic reads raunchy/romance books and the sex scene defenitely finally seems to give the description many girls have read from a book in the back of the library heterosexual or lesbian.
Is this over analyzed? it’s kind of are we looking for something that actually wasn’t intended?
