Your Monster

there’s so much i have to say about this film- the way laura projects her insecurities and self esteem issues on monster is so perfectly depicted, not to mention the parallels with jacob. the scene where her & monster argue & he tells her to look at herself & she says “i AM looking at myself”!!!! like wow!! when they dance and the moment they join hands the colors shift from cool to warm 😩😩 such a simple but effective way of conveying their chemistry i’m obsessed. the ending scene will live in my head forever, from the music to the costumes to the final love declaration WHAT CAN I SAYYYY I LOVE LOVE. the beauty & the beast trope will always strike a chord for me but this is such a fresh, modern & nuanced take on a classic trope- i truly believe everyone should watch this movie & be better for it.
