    I really enjoyed your analisys on these important scenes, like how Selena was trying to save herself by removing part of herself from the situation, how Dolores and Vera bonded, what was the most important thing in their lives, and also how people can see the same things happening in their home totally differently. I grew up in a physically, mentally and emotionally abusive household and that is exactly what was and still is happening to me. My siblings and I was berated, belittled and beaten by our father almost every day and our mother did nothing, she wasn't present, she was waiting in another room until our father finished. I have never in my life seen my father hit my mother once, only us kids and our dogs. Today I am very hostile towards my father, I am angry at him but still extremely scared of him, mostly just trying to avoid him when I am home. My mother doesn't want to listen and understand why I don't want to talk to him, she seems to have forgotten everything that happened (my father is old and weak now so he isn't physically violent anymore) and she is always pushing and emotionally blackmailing me to be nice to my father, to hug and kiss him and answer his emails. She says I should do it for her because I am hurting her by not doing it. I think she doesn't want to admit what happened because that would mean that she made the wrong decision by marrying him and letting him do this to us.
    Thank you for the reaction! This is such an amazing movie

    Kathy Bates is one of my ALL TIME FAVORITE actresses… I would watch ANY show she appears in.
    This role is so multidimensional: Dolores has hardened her exterior to be tough-as-nails in order to survive the awful things that have happened… but underneath, she loves so fiercely and would do ANYTHING necessary for someone she cares about.

    YES! Vera could have given her the money easily! If Vera cared at all about Delores, she would have given her the money and protected her & Selena. You can't tell me the Vera couldn't have let Delores and Selena move into her house and hire the best lawyer for them. Any lawyer could have shut down Delores drunk, child molesting husband with no problem! But Vera encouraged Delores to do otherwise, because she murdered her own husband. Of course Vera only valued her possessions, I suppose she felt that possessions were the only things that wouldn't leave her, or disappoint her. And Delores was just another possession to her. So was it love or just a bond over mutual murder and need? You have to go deeper, because murdering someone cannot be the only way out of a bad marriage.

    I think about the bond of two women who know that they both killed their men for self preservation. You wonder if through all the years spent together, did they ever talk about it again, or did the days go by every single day without speaking of it. Dolores read to Vera Salinas clippings, so you know Vera felt vindication, probably even for her own choice with her own man. That was a gift to Vera who didn't seem to have her own children since she left everything to Dolores. I bet Vera and Dolores stayed away from talking about the deaths of their men, and focused on their hatred of that detective. That's why Dolores was so unimpressed and not intimidated at all when he was doing everything he could to prosecute her for Veras death.

    After young Selena had a nervous breakdown, her memories dissociated - which is why she doesn’t remember anything about her father… So, she honestly has no memory of being able to do things like cooking.
    (I have similar “holes” in my memory: I’m “missing” an entire year when I was 12 yrs old. And, even tho I’m aware that I had been becoming a pretty good cook when I was a youngster… as an adult I could literally barely boil water.)

    You take your victim as you FIND them, not as you see them; which means, if you sneak up behind someone and scare them and afterwards find out they had a bad ticker, you’re still responsible for their heart attack. You can’t say after the fact, “well, I didn’t KNOW they had a bad heart.” It sounds like I’m being a smart-ass but I’m really not. I’m enjoying your reactions.

Understanding that helped me see them as full human beings and made me appreciate them even more.

    I had a childhood trauma as a child seeing a guy died due to an accident. His face was haunting me and everytime I am in a lot of stress I would have nightmares about him. I would see him die over and over again in my dreams. I also am very afraid to drive. I went to counselling one time and this psychiatrist thought me how to repress my memory. I never really fully gone through it because the process is so daunting. You have to remember every single thing about that incident and then learn to zone out immediately. My nightmares had lesson and that incident triggered me less while I am driving but still not totally. So I could see how repressed memories could work in Selena's case. If people kept on denying things happened in the past + being an alcoholic + taking pills. Imagine how much damaged it does to your brain.
    Anyway, you were right. This movie is a masterpiece. Everything about this movie was brilliant, from the acting, lighting, music, the transition into flashback, etc. Brilliantly done. I also never realized it until you mentioned that Vera is not gonna let her go. She will help her but she will also help in a way that Dolores will have more gratitude to her and stay forever. It shows how such a controlling person Vera and fits her personality so well. Great reaction.

    You are so right about how a family can live in the same household and each person can have a different experience.
    An example of that is Christina Crawford, daughter of Joan Crawford. Christina wrote a book called Mommie Dearest alleging that Joan mistreated her.
    Joan adopted four kids, a son, Christina and a set of twin girls. Joan adored the twins and treated them better than she did the other children. After Christina wrote mommie dearest, The twins denied all of Christina‘s allegations and defended Joan. Because they were not mistreated and were definitely Joan’s favorites, they claimed they did not see the mistreatment of Christina even though they were in the same household.

She doesn't have as much range as Kathy 😕 but hey Kathy probably didn't do somethings in Hollyweird or have the "Beauty" in their eyes that that consider natural beauty. However she has range and not a one trick pony... And I absolutely love her for it. Absolutely one of my top favorites and she deserves her flowers while she's still here 🙏🏾💐🙏🏾

    There's a little more in the book, but the book is literally just Dolores' recorded confession to the police -- the crime drama and reconnecting with her daughter is new for the movie and I like it, but you learn a little bit more about what is going on with Vera. By the end she is mostly paralyzed, has dementia and is only lucid maybe a day or so every couple weeks, but she also has TERRIFYING hallucinations that Dolores can only suppose what they were. But she has kids in the book and Dolores assumes they just have a strained relationship because Vera talks about calling them and sending them letters, only for it to be revealed later that they died years ago. It has been a long time but I THINK it is implied they were killed because they took out one of her late husband's cars that had been sabotaged. So she is living with the guilt of her entire family being gone because of her and is just in denial about it. Dolores thinks her hallucinations are about them.

    This is the marvelous Kathy (Katherine?) Bates. This is not a horror movie. It is an investigation of domestic abuse through the eyes of Delores and her daughter.

    I have survivors in my family, and I'm told Selena's flashback on the ferry is dead-on for someone reliving a repressed memory. Right down to the dissociation-- the feeling of seeing yourself from a third-person perspective or like events are happening on a time delay.

    My case was different. I identified with everyone's trauma but my own. I'm dealing with that now. But then I was invisible. Until I was needed. And did what was required of me.

    I will always love this movie. I love your Nigerian views about relationships between men and women vs. men and their children. This movie was about how wives were treated in the 1960s and 70s in America and when women started to take a stand against domestic violence and sexual abuse. Dolores was eternally grateful for the advice that Vera gave her about how to respond to Joe’s sexual abuse. Selena had to recognize what happened and empathize with what Dolores went through trying to raise her daughter in a safe environment.

    I understand. Not SA. But other things. You disengage. So you can survive another day. Or another moment in that day. You endure and you forget. And keep forgetting.

    Your comment about the different views people have of the same person ties in with a repeated theme from the book, “The inside and outside of a marriage aren’t much more than kissing cousins.”
    In the book, Joe never hits her again after she threatened him. But everyone in town thought he did. Dolores hits her arm while cleaning and gets a big bruise. A lady in the store sees it and says, “Ain’t men awful!” And Dolores has no clue until she thinks about it what the woman meant. But the lady assumed Joe had given her the bruise, even though she just hit it while working.
    The book really tackles the fact that you can be looking right at something and not see what’s actually going on.

    Stopped taking to my brother for this very thing. Both living in the home both witnesses to trauma. But he denies any events took place.
