Re: The Comfort of Strangers
I have not seen it. Imdb makes an intriguing description. You care to share something in-depth about it?

That is an insightful question.Care to share something in depth about it
The film was a personal experience for me.
Christopher Walken's, "Robert", you could say was exactly like my ex husband. Pretentious, unsettling, potent, provocative........ all of them.
A malevolent presence who provided intelligent pleasure as well as depths of despair.
It is called "emotional power".
If I saw the film today, I am certain, I would feel none of the above.
Today "I am the author of myself".
Time heals.
There are some who may say "she got what she deserves", I agree with that also. LOL

Emotional power, yes, I know that one.
Author of yourself? Is this a nod to that Lounge-thread about relationships being novels?
But who got what who deserves?

So soon and such a tender heart.....
Author of yourself?
"I'll never
Be such a gosling to obey instinct, but stand,
As if a man were author of himself
And knew no other kin".
Act V, Scene 3
The tent of Coriolanus.

I tend to believe "relationships" experience some form of intimacy. What I am talking had none.
But who got what who deserves?
I married the "bad boy" against all advice. Naivety was my strength and at the same time my downfall.
It is an interesting life.

that kinda gives me the same feeling as a grandmother does when she squeezes your cheeks and gives you that look saying "ooooh so cute and grown up you have become my little man!"reasonvemotion wrote:Emotional power, yes, I know that one.

Absolutely none? Are we talking intimacy broad sense or strict sense here? Because intimacy can mean anything from simple talks about personal sensitive subjects to sex (is it even possible to achieve a proper orgasm without a sense of intimacy? I mean in the sense that nudity itself is an intimate experience for both the naked and the viewer) to habitual life (we are sensitive often about our habits and when I say "habitual life" I mean experiencing each others habits and everyday living together) to sharing problems and so forth... seems quite unimaginable there was none of this. But I guess you are talking therefore of a strict sense with focus on each others personal life and experiences and emotions.reasonvemotion wrote:Is this a nod to that Lounge-thread about relationships being novels?

Okay now I get these images in my head of silver accessories, chains, guns, black leather coats and modern-style boots... what exactly does "bad boy" entitle?reasonvemotion wrote:But who got what who deserves?

Re: The Comfort of Strangers
You understand "obsession"?
How destructive that can become.
Apply it to this and you have your answers.
