Appearances
A movie like Sleepaway Camp, or like a great example of Nightmare on Elm Street.
Two.
Which are movies that are maybe frightening to people or seductive to people in ways that either exceed their makers' conscious intentions or just that mix of extremity.
I mean, the the readings, the queer reading of Nightmare in Elm Street 2 is very famous and very popular.
I think there's a whole documentary about it.
I taught that film in a cult film course once where it's just like, is this actively, consciously an allegory for gay experience, or would did this
Did the filmmakers miss this?
You can say the same thing about Commando, frankly.
You know, I think that the you could.
These are these are the movies that
They're not scary, but the guardrails aren't up.
You know, or they they feel like an unsafe space somehow.
So that's something that this movie is about without
Doing it.
The only time it starts to feel unsafe, and it's conceptually my favorite thing in the movie, is when, and we're not this isn't like a plot spoiler, but it's a talking point.
So I hope people don't mind us talking about it, is when Chris is talking about how what she gets off on in these movies is that idea that you're the voyeur and the victim at the same time.
And this movie has not invented that idea.
But it articulates it in a way that I quite
Like and she's kind of ashamed that this is how she feels, that she wants to be the the victim, but it's also very sort of liberating.
And uh that's the kind of pleasure this movie's getting at.
