Hold Back the Dawn (Mitchell Leisen, 1941)
Its own mechanics seem to work against any romance or connection it tries to occasion. And the scenario, while very unique, now seems like a quaint little romp around a flimsy Mexico/USA border filtered through new immigrant patriotic enthusiasm, dating it some. But at its core it wants you to believe a little known fact that the original title of 'America the Beautiful' was 'Olivia de Havilland the Beautiful' and it worked for me for the most part. Wait for the caddish ignorance to give way to chivalry, for narrow selfish focus to give way to pure, open acceptance of the world's beauty, and all its warmth warms. But it could have warmed so much more: without that framing device, without the blunt, detracting social commentary, without cutting shots too short.

I'm living purely of the joy of that date but also on the verge of crying over q!Tina wanting to be perfect and her insecurities. I so desperately want Tina to do lore where she finally confronts/remembers some of her past. She needs to at least talk to probably IronMouse about their demon-hood again and why Tina hates it so much.
BBH said that demons can reset themselves to remove illness (such as his radiation poisoning) but it would scramble their memory library. So either Tina reset herself knowing this would happen due to something else or she was just way more willing for the memory wipe to work on her. Which begs the question of whether she still has her memories and they're just scrambled or are they completely gone??
Much like BBH's stream when he returned from purgatory of wondering about in that dream scape place I need one of Tina in her mind palace unlocking her library and pulling a random book of a memory but panicking and not wanting to know more and trying to run or if she's more comfortable about remembering to be better for Bagi she starts to organise it and remember her life.

ok but aventurine and ratio have such a complex and beautiful dynamic that it nearly drives me to tears for the sheer beauty of it. Yes this is a prelude to a much longer ramble I will compose when I get back to my computer.
