Hey, have yall seen Saltburn yet? Was it just me or did it feel kinda like it was three movies mushed into one?
Here are my thoughts on what they could’ve been…
The first movie is like a coming of age movie set in college where a poor scholarship kid falls in love with old money friend. (👨❤️💋👨📚📝)I think it could’ve made a nice romcom about 2 worlds coming together. The biggest drama would be Farleigh and venita trying to break them up by seducing and exposing Oliver to Felix.
The second film is more like a fun dramatic movie about a middle class kid who lies about his life so that he can hang out with the rich kids for the summer. (😎🍉🥷💸)The big drama being how hard he tries to keep himself hidden, and how much he can steal before getting caught by the wealthy family members.
Lastly, the third film is a romcom/slasher mystery. (👨❤️💋👨💔🔪) in the last year of college two friends hang around out at the others mansion for the summer. Just before the poorer friend’s birthday he confesses his love for the other before being immediately rejected. The wealthy friend is willing to throw one last party for him before promptly shutting him out of his life. The poor friend is so upset at the rejection that he sets his anger and resentment towards his friend’s family. Slowly picking them and the party goers until in secret till no one is left.

everyone is so mad about barbie being snubbed for best picture/director/lead actress but where is the outrage for saltburn??
wouldn't have given it best picture/director but cinematography, lead actor (Barry), supporting actress (Rosamund pike), and score all went SO hard

I know a lot of this is people posting just to post in hopes of getting clicks, like I get it. But this thing of acting like the writers/filmmakers/whatever didn't realize the implications of their own work is so obnoxious. Framing and perspective in storytelling are features, not bugs! The writers didn't miss their own point, YOU did. And it's hard not to notice this is done OVERWHELMINGLY to media written and/or directed by women 🙄
