Their performances really sold me on the film. I started ugly crying in the theater as soon as the end credits started. My dad had to comfort me after that.
I'm now picturing her giving a Blade Runner type of speech. "I've seen things you people wouldn't believe..."
Yes! You're absolutely not delusional, as I see it, Quentin sees it, and others, do, too. As Quentin and Kim Morgan discussed in that interview on her blog, Shosanna didn't want to shoot him and she didn't want to kill him. She has all of this pain and rage and grief and it's Fredrick who brings out her humanity. It's amazing, really, how much he gives her without him truly knowing it and her not realizing (and not wanting to accept it) until the end. I probably mentioned it before, but there was a perfect youtube comment for a video of Un Amico (it was the music with a still photograph of Shosanna) that summed up that moment the music starts to play when watching him on screen breaks her heart (I will forever love that line in the script): It was the moment that Shosanna realized her feelings for Fredrick, and it was a moment that would live on forever. Quentin did indeed say that Shosanna is not the Bride; she is human and a survivor. Of course, even the Bride still loved Bill. With all her own rage and grief, she still loved him and he still loved her. If it were any other writer/director, I'm sure it would've been a black and white situation (just like IB would've been). Though even when presented with flawed, human characters, people still ignore those shades of gray. Pretty much, yeah, everyone else can shove it. Omg that'd be perfect! I do have an idea for another multi-part Sho/Fred fic after KFAD that I'm excited about (I seem to juggle various ideas mentally at once to keep my enthusiasm going). I get you. I can't warp canon like that, especially since I myself am queer. It's just a downer to watch something, no matter how much you warp something in fan fiction, to see that no, there is no canon support. I feel it's better to support actual canon gay characters and media instead. Watchmen fandom was good to me for that because Adrian Veidt/Ozymandias is canonically gay (and he hangs out with Fred). I do admit to having a crack pairing, I suppose, of Zoe Saldana/Dan/Mel/August just because I think she and Dan should be in something where they speak Spanish to each other. Then she can be in something with Melanie where they're awesome and do awesome things. After that, she can co-star in something with August that's angsty and filled with sex. I was playing around with a re-make of Blade Runner with August as Deckard and Zoe as Rachael (with Mel and Dan as Pris and Roy Batty), so that's where that comes from. Omg. I hope your friend understands that it's Daniel and Melanie and no one else. I do have a tumblr follower who loves Dan/Mel and Sho/Fred, but she also wants to see Dan and Katie McGrath work together, so she has a lot of graphics of them. Every woman on the planet in all of existence wants August and never Dan. Especially Melanie. There is at least the thought that yes, August would find all of this utterly ridiculous. He'd have a good laugh and then go about his business with his charming family that can fit in his lap.
I love that so, so much. Having that kind of personal, creative freedom is so wonderful. Dan had said that before, after making IB; more writers/directors need to be willing to be bolder (hearing him say that only encourages me more).
Yes! I should compile a Tom Waits-themed fanmix for Sho/Fred. It'd probably end up consisting of his entire discography, but it'd be worth it. There's gonig to be announcement on his site next week on the 23rd concerning new music, too.
