the edits tricked me, they made it look like a coming of age friendship, all warmth between hardy and cumberbatch. and i fell for it, and instead i got something raw and bleeding. stuart is the face of tragedy, of every person who slips through the cracks while the people around him look away. through the whole film, i kept wondering: could anyone have noticed before the devil settled in? and there are so many stuarts still out there, who's still not knowing what's wrong with them, still believing the darkness inside will never leave. it's such a cruel world. and now im sad thinking about it.
