“I think that people are still scared of women showing their flaws and their weaknesses and their not so pretty attributes, but that is what makes us human as well.”

Every review of Swath I’ve seen so far tend to be a contradiction of another (not that surprises me but still amuses to no end)
Like, one argues that the Queen had too much screen time, other that the Queen’s personality wasn’t explored enough, still another reviewer says all she did was screaming and yet another one moans that she was too pitiful and supposedly “too human” instead of fabulously evil.
Seriously, that’s why I tend to ignore all those “professional” critics’ reviews. Most of them are just shit to me
One of my favorite parts of the movie was when Ravenna, after returning weakened to her castle crawled up to her mirror and reached out her hand towards it desperately. That and the last scene when she died.
I don’t know but it kinda felt like that mirror was her only true “confidant” (and ironically, her ultimate demise)
SWATH was really REALLY good! I can’t wait for DVD release!

So much cute! Especially since I’m convinced that it’s actually Michiru who’s the more romantically aggressive one, and that Haruka is surprised by it every time.
I have the same feeling about Michiru! Whenever I think about them, I can’t help thinking that Michiru knows what she wants and goes after it, that she enjoys having Haruka in bed with her and shaking under her ministrations, that she likes to see Haruka fall apart because of her. And she definitely likes to tease, she’ll keep Haruka on the edge for as long as she can, enjoying the way Haruka narrows her eyes and finally grinds out, “Michiru, please.” And then she smiles her little elegant smile and takes Haruka apart.
ELVIS MITCHELL: So the big question is: How are you, mom?
CHARLIZE THERON: My god, when was the last time I saw you?
MITCHELL: Oh, gosh. I don’t even remember.
THERON: I think it was at Jason Reitman’s reading at the LACMA [Los Angeles County Museum of Art] theater.
MITCHELL: Ah,…
