Restless heart

just watched "Send help" and my brain kept switching during the movie from "God he's gorgeous" to "I hope she kills him"

Good job to Send Help for reflecting the cycle of abuse when Linda and Bradley are stranded on that island. Manipulation. Gaslighting. The lies to control each other and stop them from leaving the “relationship”. The love bombing to reassure that everything is fine. “I’m sorry I stabbed you.” “and I’m sorry I did that to your eye.” “I love you so much.” <-that being said when they’re covered in blood and she has a shotgun pointed to his chest. Like MULTIPLE times they try to kill each other and then pretend it didn’t happen after meaningless promises to never hurt each other again. Linda convincing Bradley that no one will help him except her after cutting off his rescue and chance to leave the relationship. Bradley giving her intimacy, vulnerability, and companionship and using that to trick her and destroy the things that makes her happy. Also Bradley only really liking Linda when she was useful to him but (not-so) secretly despising her before they even got on the island. Like damnnn it’s been a while since a movie tickled my brain like this give me moreeee

Watched Send Help. I support autistic women's wrongs. Anyway that was an interesting movie

saw send help and am obsessed with the core of the film aka the scene where linda talks about her husband and bradley talks about his mom. because then you think about it and each one is just a stand in for the other’s past abusive relationship. bradley can’t accept linda’s power over him but when he realizes he needs it he puts on a charming compliant facade that you can imagine was what he needed to survive his childhood all while growing more and more hateful. linda keeps bradley there and makes him dependent on her even when he manipulates and insults and poisons her because she can’t stand being alone and suddenly you can imagine the cycle that kept her and her husband married for 10 years. bradley sees her as his mom and is never attracted to her and shakes his head at the food she feeds him like a child. linda sees him as her husband and pictures the life they could have together as a couple. both were operating on hardware from decades past and were never going to change. no one talk to me.

nobody lures you into the fog anymore
