She was yet another person I met because of Sho/Fred. She really is! And sweet as pie, too. Also, I went snooping through your art and it is gorgeous. I love your style.
It really was, especially since I wanted answers and clarification, and finding all those quotes really, really helped. I love knowing an artist's creative process and inspiration, and I absolutely love any and all insight they can give on their work (films in particular). The guy's reaction was just so amusing to me, that he could sit in an audience and hear the director himself talk about their relationships and then get all bothered. I suppose that it's odd to me how such a major part of the film and story line can be so blatantly ignored.
I wasn't quite sure what their ending would be, but I knew the moment Fredrick first approached her that Quentin was going to hurt me in some way. They're still such innocents at the end, even though their actions weren't; it was something they were forced into, unlike the other characters who were actively fighting the war. Even in death they remained separated from the rest of it. In a way, setting aside the fact that they were meant to be together one or another, it was the kindest end both could've had. He could've been machine gunned to death and she could've burned to death alone.
Bridget's death was close to a sexual assault in a way, with her having to force her foot into his lap like that. If you look at when he tackles her frame by frame (someone on tumblr made a graphic of it), the way he's positioned on top of her and how her legs come up is quite sexual. I do love the subtlety of the projection booth scene. To watch it casually, it appears like any other simple death scene, but there's so much going on that is both obvious and just below the surface of it. I liked how though Marcel got the straightforward declarations of love, Fredrick was given much more from Shosanna; she revealed to him the parts of herself she kept hidden that no one else had access to.

Aw. I'm probably around here too much.
