meh.

So last night I was reading this article in which Matthew talks about making the film and the staging of the Paris sex scene. And it struck me how much work and attention to detail was given to this moment:

Which yes, others have talked about what is placed around the room but I’d like to present exhibits B and C:

The other times we see them in bed together, Alex is on Henry’s right. Protocol or his good side? (Both?) Because that’s your place when you’re with a Royal.

But in Paris they’re the other way around. Henry is on Alex’s right. That’s his place. That’s where he belongs. In this moment he’s not Prince Henry, he’s Henry Fox. He’s just this guy who is in love with this other guy.

At the DNC hotel they’re mired in politics. In Kensington Palace they’re in the monarchy. But in Paris? They’re just them. Not so much Firstprince as… some other pormanteau. Helex? Alry? Anyway. They’re them in Paris and it’s as close to neutral ground as they can get and I find it interesting that Henry is on Alex’s right when every other instance in his life he has people on his right. He never gets to be the person on the right. He never gets to defer to someone who isn’t in some line of succession.

But with Alex? He does. He defers to him (and no this is not a comment about sexual positions) and he isn’t pushed into the circumstance and rules of a situation he was born into without any choice or say in the matter. He can just be himself without the need to maintain an image or a sense of duty or adhere to some archiac institution. He’s on someone’s right.

(He’s also put Alex on his non-good side. He’s showing that part of himself to this man because he loves and he trusts him and he knows he is safe to do so. That’s something else I’m feral over.)

I full on snorted 😂 yeah that's a GRIP huh

ahem where was that hand Phakphum? 🤨

First, I'll start with the one that I want tattooed into the forehead of every toxic fan that has been demanding that Apo does solo work. He would if he wanted to. But right now, he's happy working with Mile. Honestly, anyone who saw him doing Dior in Paris solo versus how he was beaming when he got to go there with Mile would know this already. Such fans don't honestly care about what Apo wants, so IDK if this will make a difference, but I'm still happy he said it.

Second, they apparently get each other so much, they don't even have to say anything, the other one will know when one of them is not okay and will help him. Honestly, soulmates. I keep saying this, and you can take "soulmates" to be platonic or romantic, but they just. ARE.

The scenes are so incredibly amazing. I love how the coloring is so pleasing and at the same time it’s so uncomfortable. In BOC, I trusted production at the highest level and they never disappoint. This gonna be a top class movie ever.

Porsche has had enough. for @agendratum
