movie: jane eyre

[seperis]

You know, and I say this with deep romantic love, Rochester is a creepy creepster who is creeping creepily. Just. For the record. Oh my God his creeping over Jane. How did I forget how unearthly unsubtle Rochester is? He's not even goddamn trying not to be creepy.

Christ, man, just get a fucking sign that says "I HAVE A CREEPY SECRET WHILE I CREEP OVER YOU, JANE."

"Poor and obscure as you are", how did I completely block out this?

Jane Eyre version with Michael Fassbender, which just makes it weirdly appropriate. It's like, Magneto in the nineteenth century whose mutant power is Creepiness. Creepneto. IDK. And also, not genocidal. I mean, I assume, but I've forgotten a lot of the book, so maybe he leads some kind of--yeah, no idea.

Suffice to say, Creepneto is freaking me out badly.

Oh, strangulation in the church. That's--what the hell.

Wait, I'm about to meet the wife. This is terribly, terribly disturbing.

Try A Bear Named Winnie, it's a bit tear-jerk-y in parts but Fassbender is ridic. adorable with the bear. (Also, in the behind-the-scenes stuff he spent a lot of time feeding the cubs so they'd be all bond-y and such. ADORABLE.)

It's actually a shame he gets cast for creepy so much, he's so good in other roles, too. But he does give excellent creep.

(Also, Fish Tank is an Andrea Arnold film, she is quite good at showing the audience damaged people smashing their damage against each other who will absolutely not explain themselves. Which makes her films hard to watch but I still like them.)

It's my first Andrea Arnold. I didn't really know what to expect, but I was impressed! And I will keep an eye out for Adorable Fassbender. That is something I feel I should see at least once before I die. :D
