    hey guys!! i filmed this back in december before the holiday hectic-ness really picked up, lol, but I figured I’d still post the vid now bc there’s no point in holding on to it until next year just to post it around christmastime 😅 but I promise there’s a more modern/timely glass onion commentary coming as soon as I finish editing it!! I hope everyone’s having a great start to 2023 🖤 thanks for watching!!

    This movie was filmed in downtown Cincinnati, where I worked at the time. A few of my co-workers went on their lunch break a few blocks away to see them film a scene with Cate. The department store they used was the old Shillitos dept store remodeled for the movie. I remember seeing the old cars when I drove to work.

    And yes, Carol is truly iconic and nuance. It’s a really, really good story.
    What’s an added interesting thing was how the book was written in the 50s, by a well known Thriller Author (whose books were used by Hitchcock).
    It’s like her coming out novel and a really bold move (same with how the two characters did in her novel).

    I've never been able to watch Carol, it cuts to close to home. I was born in Australia in 1957, The State I live in, New South Wales didn't decriminalise homosexuality until 1984 when I was 27! The first State to do so was South Australia in 1975 and the last was Tasmania in in 1997!
    Mind you, this only applies to men - Lesbianism was never illegal in Britain or any of its colonies (that includes Australia). However this was not out of tolerance or humanity, you just didn't need criminal law to coerce women, in the patriarchy that is totally unnecessary since women were almost always the "property" of the men in their lives. Husbands, fathers, brothers, uncles etc. who could have you consigned to a mental institution to be drugged, electro-shocked and lobotomised and don't forget we are talking about all women now not just our Sapphic sisters.
    For anyone deluded enough to think that is all in the past now - you poor fools, the patriarchy has fought bitterly against all reforms supporting the equality of races, genders and sexualities and I think it is turning the tide - it is now winning again, not just in the dark corners of the world but in the global north as well - Transphobia in the US is a prime example but there are no shortages of others, anti-abortion, voter suppression, gerrymandering, it just goes on and on.
    I'm beginning to think I might just live long enough to see a theocratic right-wing fascist government in Washington along with the criminalisation of anything but Cis Straight White Orthodoxy.
    Sorry, I loved your video, loved you but I think you touched a nerve lol.

    It's still wild to me this kind of dinamic (4:28), but I think it wasn't uncommon among richer people at the time. I was just reading a book about Classic Hollywood lesbians that mentioned how well Marlene Dietrich, her husband, her (female) lover and her husband's (also female) lover were all friends and lived in harmony, sometimes each couple in a country, sometimes all in the same house, with their daughter and all.

    It took me a few days to watch this bc I love it so much I get overwhelmed. Nowadays so many people judge this film but it was truly the first time that as a lesbian I felt represented authentically. The director (a gay man) captured the intimacy without fetishising it, and the screenwriter (a lesbian) captured everything else so well.
    On the topic of perfume, I accidentally found my signature one but I couldn’t imagine changing it. It’s Blood Orange by Shay and Blue and is the perfect mix of masculine and feminine, fresh and woody.

    There’s no “petrichor and cinnamon”, but you might come close with this custom scent: 1) Spice or Cinnamon - the main scent, 2) Frankincense and Myrrh - for woody notes, 3) Plum - light and juicy like rain, with a hint of earthy sweetness. I also recommend combining the China Rain scent with light, sweet fruit notes like Cantelope, or something exotic like Sandalwood. Experiment. You can even customize the bottle and name it.

      It's been awhile since i read the shooting script, so i can't remember if they were more explicit in it and it just got cut out - but in the book it was direct that Carol was in touch with Abby during the trip, so Abby often had an idea where they were/were staying. Abby was keeping tabs on Rindy and the court case for Carol.
      The telegram was from Abby, when she had found out somehow that Harge had them followed by a detective. She was trying to warn them.
      But obviously the front desk deciding to wait on giving the telegram to Carol till the morning after ...had repercussions.
