My name</span><br/><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-time>(01:27)</span>:<br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>is Caitlin Darante, my name is Jamie Loftus. And this</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>is our podcast where we look at your favorite movies,</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>your least favorite movies, movies that you don't know how</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>to feel about, using an intersectional feminist lens. And we</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>use the Bechtel test simply as a jumping off point</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>to initiate a larger conversation. And the Bechtel test is</span><br/><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-time>(01:52)</span>:<br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>a media metric created by queer cartoonist Alison Bechtel, sometimes</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>called the Bechtel Wallace Test, and it has many versions,</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>and the one that we are using these days, and</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>let's and and and we also have been finessing this formula.</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>We've been finessing our little, our little twist on it</span><br/><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-time>(02:13)</span>:<br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>for half a decade. At this point, it's true. The</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>metric that we are using. The caveats, if you will,</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>are that a movie has to have two characters of</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>any marginalized gender who have names. They must speak to</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>each other about something other than a man. And ideally</span><br/><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-time>(02:36)</span>:<br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>their conversation is meaningful, plot relevant, not just a throwaway</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>exchange of dialogue or maybe it's in the case of</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>this movie, a deceitful exchange. I love a good deceitful exchange.</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>You know what it's allowed. And then something that we</span><br/><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-time>(02:59)</span>:<br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>should bring up more often. Um, but it's especially relevant</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>for a movie like this is that the test originally</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>appearing in Alison Becktel's Decks to Watch out For. In</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>the context for that was that Alison Becktel's characters, who</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>are queer women, would watch movies and pay attention to</span><br/><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-time>(03:21)</span>:<br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>if the female characters in the movies they're watching speak</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>to each other, and if so, do they talk about</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>things besides a man? Because if so, then Alison Bechtel's</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>characters could ship them together and pretend that they were</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>lesbians in the movie that they're watching. So that is</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>the origins of the Bechtel test, speaking to the piss</span><br/><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-time>(03:44)</span>:<br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>poor representation of any queer people in movies at the</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>time the comic was published back in A five right,</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>and then for a movie like this, no shipping required</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>because the care actors do that for you. It's cannon. Yes,</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>So the movie that we're talking about today is The Handmaiden,</span><br/><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-time>(04:07)</span>:<br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>and we have a guest joining us. She's a pal</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>of ours. She's a cyber security engineer. It's so young</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>chan Hi. Hello, welcome, Thank you for having me, thanks</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>for being here, for being here. So we're interested in</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>what is your relationship, your history, your general impression of</span><br/><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-time>(04:30)</span>:<br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>The Handmaiden. Um. Yeah, I thought it was pretty wild</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>from start to finish. Um. These types of movies don't</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>don't really come out that much from South Korea because</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>Korea is a pretty conservative country still, so this was</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>a big shock when it came out featuring two lesbian</span><br/><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-time>(04:51)</span>:<br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>women and that that never that never happens. But I</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>thought it was overall really really good, really new and</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>groundbreaking for Korea. So that's what I thought. It was</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>pretty cool. Yeah. Oh, I can't wait to talk about</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>it more. Jamie, what about you. I hadn't seen this</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>movie yet, and it rocked my world. I really like</span><br/><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-time>(05:16)</span>:<br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>movies that really keep you on your toes like this</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>where I guess if you haven't seen this movie, I</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>would recommend honestly watching it because listening to us, like</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>some movies, I feel fine spoiling for our listeners, but</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>this movie. I'm so glad I didn't know any of</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>the twists going in, because sometimes I'll go into a</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>movie being like I've seen I've seen it all, and</span><br/><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-time>(05:37)</span>:<br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>then it turns out, guess what. I like half of</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>my notes from the first half of the movie, I</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>had to like highlight being like just kidding, I am,</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>I am the fool, Like they got my ass. It's</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>so tightly written, and I just, yeah, this was my</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>my first time. I've seen it twice. I feel like</span><br/><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-time>(05:59)</span>:<br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>this is a movie that really delivers on a rewatch</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>and I just really enjoyed it. Holy holy shit. I</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>am just not as smart as this movie. I'm not</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>operating on this level. And it was a pleasure to</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>be in a world where I was like, oh, yeah,</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>I would have Um, I don't know what would have</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>happened to be if I existed in this world. I</span><br/><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-time>(06:20)</span>:<br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>would have I would have just died because everyone is</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>operating like everyone's playing four D h S the entire movie.</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>It's wonderful. Yeah, Caitlyn, what's your history of this movie? O?</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>G whiz. I saw it not right when it came out,</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>but I remember there being buzz around it because it</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>was released in the US sometime I think in the</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>back half of and then it won the Oscar for</span><br/><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-time>(06:45)</span>:<br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>Best Movie not in the English language. Yeah, for like</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>the Oscars. So I was like, oh, all right, got</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>to see it. Exciting. So I was still getting Netflix</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>devids at the time, so I took it upon myself</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>to borrow rent or whatever have Netflix send me a DVD.</span><br/><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-time>(07:05)</span>:<br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>And I don't normally do this, but I watched the</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>movie and then as soon as it was over, I</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>immediately watched it again because I was like, WHOA, holy shit.</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>I don't even want to process that. I just want</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>to like rewatch it and just have a better understanding</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>of what happened, because, like you said, there's so many twists,</span><br/><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-time>(07:26)</span>:<br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>there's so many layers there's and so I've seen the</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>movie I think like six or seven times now, and</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>every time I watch it, I discover something new or</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>like notice like a new little clue, or like a</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>bit of foreshadowing or some like plant and payoff, or</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>just like some detail that I had overlooked before. So yeah,</span><br/><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-time>(07:49)</span>:<br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>it definitely holds up on a rewatch. The twists are</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>so intricate that or like some of the reveals are</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>just like I won't remember what happened, so like, every</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>time rewatch it, it's like I'm seeing it for the</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>first time. So I'm just like, whoa, And it's it's</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>beautiful to look at. It's mesmerizing. Yeah, the story is</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>so tightly written. I love this movie so and the</span><br/><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-time>(08:14)</span>:<br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>history behind the movie is also really interesting. I didn't</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>know about like all the adaptation stuff going on in</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>this movie, so I'm very excited to talk about it. Yeah.</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>I also, in preparation for this episode, watched the BBC</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>like two episode mini series Fingersmith. She's okay, yes, well,</span><br/><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-time>(08:36)</span>:<br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>then I was also like, Sally Hawkins is in this.</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>Paddington's mom is in this. Obviously I have to watch it.</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>See I always think of Sally Hawkins. I'm about to</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>sound like I hate women. I'm like, she's the lady</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>who had sex with the fish in the movie. I</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>know that lady, but that was reductive and I apologize,</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>but she did have sex with a fish. I mean,</span><br/><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-time>(08:57)</span>:<br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>you're not wrong, I'm not, but I should remember the</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>character's name. I just know it was Sally Hawkins. Well,</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>she's definitely Mrs Brown in the Paddington franchise, so I</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>did watch Fingersmith, and um, do you like it? I</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>did it, So just some context for anyone who's um</span><br/><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-time>(09:20)</span>:<br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>not aware. This movie is based on a novel called</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>Fingersmith by Sarah Waters that was published in two two</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>I think so obviously we did not read the book</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>because we famously on this podcast do not read books.</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>It probably won't to stop people from getting mad at</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>us for not reading a book, but listen, the show</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>is free. I don't know what to tell you, but</span><br/><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-time>(09:43)</span>:<br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>I did watch this adaptation and probably like the second</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>half of Fingersmith is pretty wildly different from the second</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>half of The Handmaiden, where I like the ending of</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>the hand Made In way better. And I don't know</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>if that's just because like I saw it first and</span><br/><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-time>(10:04)</span>:<br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>my brain just works that way, where I'm like, well,</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>the first thing I saw is the thing that I</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>like better because it happens all the time with me.</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>But uh, I don't know. I feel that it gives</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>the characters more agency. Yeah, I I like the handmade</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>in better. I like the narrative choices that were made there.</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>So yeah, it's a It's the rare movie where I</span><br/><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-time>(10:25)</span>:<br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>feel like we're constantly complaining about how movies are. Movies</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>are long, but this movie is two and a half</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>hours long, and it does not feel two and a</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>half hours long, which is incredible a miracle. Yeah, should</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>I get into the recap? Yeah, yeah, let's let's do it.</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>And so I feel free to jump in at any time.</span><br/><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-time>(10:47)</span>:<br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>It's a free for all. Absolutely, thank you. Okay. So</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>the story takes place in Japanese occupied Korea, so both</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>Korean and Japan These are spoken by almost every major</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>character throughout the movie. I believe we are in the thirties,</span><br/><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-time>(11:08)</span>:<br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>although the decade wasn't super clear, but I read in</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>interviews that, yeah, it's supposed to be the thirties. Okay. Cool.</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>The story is divided into three parts. Part one, we</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>meet Suki, a pickpocket, a forger. She's like a common thief.</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>We also meet a Korean man from a low class</span><br/><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-time>(11:31)</span>:<br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>who is masquerading as a Japanese nobleman. He's going by</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>the name Count Fujiwara. I kept calling him Count all</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>off in my head because anytime someone introduces themselves as account,</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>I was like, okay, all counts are con men. This</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>is a trend in media. All accounts are lying about</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>being a count and they're where they're always wearing a</span><br/><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-time>(11:52)</span>:<br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>hat and um lying, that's my knowledge accounts and I</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>think that's canon. Yeah, this Ivan does this count challenge</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>that he does not, it's true. So he helps Suki</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>get a job as a handmaiden to Lady Hitigo, and</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>he does this because he intends to seduce Lady Hitiko,</span><br/><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-time>(12:16)</span>:<br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>marry her, put her in like quote, a madhouse so</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>that he can steal her fortune, and he needs Suki's</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>help to do all this. So Suki, using a fake name,</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>meets Lady Hideko and starts tending to her. She spends</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>most of her days helping her uncle Kazuki with his</span><br/><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-time>(12:39)</span>:<br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>rare books, which he collects and sells, and then he</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>also hosts private events where Hitiko does readings from the</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>books for rich Japanese gentleman rights. And the meaning of</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>rare books is really stretched and challenged later in Yes,</span><br/><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-time>(12:59)</span>:<br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>her uncle is It becomes apparent pretty early on, and</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>then even more apparent later on that he is extremely</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>creepy and he's also trying to marry how to go</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>to get access to her fortune also something that count</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>all offs trying to do all the time, just a</span><br/><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-time>(13:19)</span>:<br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>lot of count connections here? Oh my god? Right, counts</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>are always trying to marry people under false pretenses to</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>get access to a fortune. I need to write a</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>think piece about this. Doesn't count all off pretend to</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>be those children's uncle too, or some family member. He</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>pretends to be a distant relative in order to adopt them.</span><br/><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-time>(13:43)</span>:<br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>I mean, I didn't, I didn't even put that together.</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>If anyone ever introduces them as a count, walk away,</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>they're lying. What's the story of the count of Money</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>Monte Crystal? Oh? I know I saw that movie, but</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>no idea. I feel like there's some deception involved there</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>as well. Is okay, this is not the Count of</span><br/><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-time>(14:08)</span>:<br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>Monte Cristo. Is that related to the sandwich? Or is</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>the sandwich a separate thing? Monte Cristo sandwich? Is Monte</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>Cristo a place? Um? I think they're also. I was</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>just born this morning. I think they're all extremely not</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>only connected, but identical. What is even in a Monte</span><br/><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-time>(14:31)</span>:<br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>Cristo sandwich? You know what I'm that's one where they</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>like there's ham and there's cheese, and you're like panini</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>it and then there's like powdered sugar on top. There's</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>always such a scam. When someone makes a very simple</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>sandwich sounds extremely fancy and they're like, it's it's like</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>Monte Cristo at seventeen dollars, and then you get it.</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>You're like, this is ham and cheese. How dare you anyway?</span><br/><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-time>(14:57)</span>:<br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>Speaking of the Count, yes, he gets to work on</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>seducing Lady Hideko under the guise of giving her painting lessons. Meanwhile,</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>Suki and Heideko are getting closer and they are clearly</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>attracted to each other. And the further into the scam</span><br/><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-time>(15:18)</span>:<br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>Suki gets of like helping the fake Count Mary hidego,</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>the more Suki wants to back out, especially after one</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>night when Lady Hideko wants Suki to teach her how</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>to kiss so that she will be ready to kiss</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>the Count, and then they end up having very steamy sex.</span><br/><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-time>(15:41)</span>:<br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>Suki has no choice but to keep going along with</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>the scam, and the two of them run away. They</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>travel with the Count to Japan, the Count Mary's Hideko,</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>and then he and Suki take Hideko to be institutionalized.</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>But wait a minute, turns out it the Count and</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>Hiteko had been the ones who were tricking Suki and</span><br/><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-time>(16:04)</span>:<br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>they send Suki to the institution. I gasped right when</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>edeko uh. At first, I was like, what is going on?</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>Because she hugs Suki and then she walks backward really quickly,</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>and I was like, what is happening? And then it</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>was the twist. But wait, there's more. There's more. There's</span><br/><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-time>(16:25)</span>:<br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>two more parts. So this is the beginning of part two.</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>We learned what the real situation is with Lady Hiteko.</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>She's not this like virginal, naive lady that we all</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>thought she was. The books of her uncle's that she</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>does readings for our very pornographic something that he's been</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>training her to do ever since she was a child,</span><br/><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-time>(16:48)</span>:<br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>which is what disgusting. Yeah, and this is like, this</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>is something he's done with like other members of the family,</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>to like with her aunt as well. Yeah, it's a</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>whole thing. Yes, So when the Count first meets her,</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>he realizes that he would never be able to seduce her,</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>so then he forms a different plan, which is to</span><br/><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-time>(17:10)</span>:<br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>collaborate with her, take her away from this place and</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>set her free, and then they will split her fortune.</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>And then it's her idea to find a handmaiden and</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>send her to the institution under her name. So then</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>a lot of the same story beats play out that</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>we've seen before, but this time through hiokos point of view,</span><br/><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-time>(17:33)</span>:<br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>with like Suki arriving and tending to her and convincing</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>her that she's in love with the count. But then eventually,</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>because Hitiko and Suki are falling in love, Hiteko also</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>wants to back out of the plan right and then</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>finally the two of them reveal to each other that</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>they have been tricking each other. So seen is so</span><br/><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-time>(17:55)</span>:<br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>good but scary but good. Where Lady hit the I</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>goes about to take her own life. She's about to</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>hang herself, and then Suki catches her, and everyone watching</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>the scene has an anxiety attack of like, I hope</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>that she has strong arms, uh, and this whole scene</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>have it's It's really good. These two actors together are</span><br/><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-time>(18:19)</span>:<br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>incredible for sure. So now their new plan is to</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>team up with each other against Count Fujiwara, and then</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>right before they're about to run away, they also destroy</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>the Uncle's treasured book collection as basically a like fuck</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>you dude gesture, and then we realize that when Suki</span><br/><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-time>(18:42)</span>:<br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>is taken to the institution. It's all part of the plan.</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>So then part three is Suki escapes from the institution</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>by lighting it on fire. I was slightly confused about</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>the logistics, but by that point in the movie I</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>was like, Yeah, sure, she liked it on fire. I</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>believe it. Meanwhile, Hitiko drugs the Count, escapes and meets</span><br/><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-time>(19:06)</span>:<br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>up with Suki. They flee and get on a ferry</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>to Shanghai. And then the Count has been captured and</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>brought back to the uncle's estate where the uncle tortures him.</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>And then the Count smokes a couple of cigarettes laced</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>with mercury, which poisons the air and kills both the men,</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>and then we cut back to the ferry where Suki</span><br/><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-time>(19:27)</span>:<br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>and Hitiko have more steamy sex. And that's how the</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>movie ends. So let's take a quick break and then</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>we will come back to discuss. And we're back, where</span><br/><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-time>(19:48)</span>:<br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>do we Caitlin, I'm genuinely curious just to start, what</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>is different about the ending of the BBC adaptation, because</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>I know that the largest adaptation change is obviously changing</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>the setting and the I think the time period was</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>shifted as well. I think it's a Victorian England to</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>nineteen thirties Japan and Korea. But what what is different</span><br/><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-time>(20:12)</span>:<br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>about like the plot points of the ending. So yeah,</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>the first half plays out basically the same, but in</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>Fingersmith the two women never collaborate. They never say, oh,</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>you're tricking me, I was tricking you. Wow, Let's team</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>up together and take down these male oppressors. That does</span><br/><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-time>(20:32)</span>:<br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>not happen. Instead, the handmade in character ends up in</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>the institution and then stays there for a while, does</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>still escape. Meanwhile, the lady character like is taken to</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>London after this marriage, and she keeps trying to escape</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>and they're like, no, we still have to get your</span><br/><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-time>(20:53)</span>:<br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>fortune from you. Uh. So she eventually is able to</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>run away and goes to one of like the book</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>collectors that her uncle knows, but then he turns her away,</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>so she has to go back to the home base</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>of all the like the Thief House, basically in London, which,</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>by the way, the sort of like matron character is</span><br/><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-time>(21:16)</span>:<br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>played by Amelda Staunton, who is of course Aunt Lucy</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>from Paddington's Okay I'm with Yes, So there's a lot</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>of Paddington connections in Fingersmith. So and then that like</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>matriarch character is like, hey, royal lady person, by the way,</span><br/><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-time>(21:40)</span>:<br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>you were switched at birth with this handmaiden lady, and</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>so she's the actual lady, and you're I think maybe</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>I'm getting that totally wrong because things got also very</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>confusing at that part. The handmaiden is better. Yeah what</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>I'm hearing right, Yeah, So there's some like switched at</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>birth scandal can't introduce switched at birth at the end</span><br/><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-time>(22:04)</span>:<br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>this fourth grade. And then so the count guy who</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>they call whose name is like the gentleman in Fingersmith,</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>comes around at some point and gets murdered by unclear</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>which person it was. It was either like the lady</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>or the Amelda Stanton character, but Amelti Stans character takes</span><br/><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-time>(22:25)</span>:<br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>the blame for it, and then she is hanged. So</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>that sort of now that all these people are dead,</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>she goes back to her like estate with all the books,</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>and then Sally Hawk like the handmaid and character comes</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>back and they sort of like reconcile. So the huge</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>difference is that there's never a team up. There's never</span><br/><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-time>(22:45)</span>:<br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>like a co conspirator like let's take the men down</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>kind of thing. They just sort of like have to</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>forgive each other, and then there's some like class stuff</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>of like you're not who you think you are, and</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>it's also kind of confusing. So that's Fingersmith. It sounds interesting,</span><br/><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-time>(23:07)</span>:<br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>but long I like this better. Yeah, okay, well, thank you,</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>thank you for thank you for sharing that. I I</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>wasn't aware how how much the source material deviated from</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>this adaptation. Yeah, it's pretty significant. Or I mean again,</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>because we haven't read the book. Who who knows what</span><br/><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-time>(23:29)</span>:<br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>happens there? Who knows how much that BBC adapt adaptation</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>deviated from the original source material. But The Handmaiden is</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>pretty drastically different in the second half of it from</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>Fingersmith the BBC series, UM got it? Yeah, so yeah.</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>And because of that, one of the things I like</span><br/><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-time>(23:49)</span>:<br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>about this movie so much is that it's a story</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>about men trying to exploit women and pit women against</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>each other, which doesn't work because the women talk to</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>each other and then they're like, wait a minute, these</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>men are trying to suck us over, so they instead</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>team up and punish. They're like again the male oppressors,</span><br/><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-time>(24:15)</span>:<br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>and then they get together and they live happily ever after. God,</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>I hope so or at least happily on the ferry,</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>they at least have an amazing cruise. So as you</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>started to talk about So Young in terms of like</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>this being a pretty groundbreaking film for South Korean cinema,</span><br/><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-time>(24:38)</span>:<br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>in terms of it's like queer representation, Yeah, just curious</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>if you have any other thoughts on that or yeah,</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>because you know, queer representation, it's just it's not there's</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>not a lot in Korean media and stuff like that,</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>even in you know, songs and stuff, and while it's</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>still while it's changing and people are becoming a lot</span><br/><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-time>(24:59)</span>:<br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>more open to it, it's still not on the forefront</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>like it is in America or you know, other countries.</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>So this was a you know, this was a pretty</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>big deal for not even it's not even like two</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>gay men, because that would have been still more something</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>that you would see, but to two women that that</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>is unheard of. So this was, Yeah, this was pretty</span><br/><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-time>(25:21)</span>:<br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>groundbreaking in that way, and I appreciate it. I saw,</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>like I guess, mixed reception of of the sex scenes</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>and how they were filmed and framed, and I'm interested</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>to talk about that as well. But I did appreciate that, like,</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>this movie is not shy at all about what it's</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>about and about this like intense sexual connection that these</span><br/><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-time>(25:44)</span>:<br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>two women have, because I feel like we I mean,</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>even in covering other movies on this podcast, you know,</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>very often when there is a relationship between two women,</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>you get a fade to black situation or you you</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>don't get the sex scene that appears in many PG</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>thirteen movies between a man and a woman. And so</span><br/><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-time>(26:05)</span>:<br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>I was, yeah, pleasantly surprised to see. I was like, oh,</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>we're we're getting sex scenes. That's exciting. I'm very pro sex,</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>especially like and this would have been more common in</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>at least like older American movies. But I just remember</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>that episode that we did on Fried Green Tomatoes where</span><br/><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-time>(26:27)</span>:<br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>the source material like more explicitly makes it clear that</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>the characters are queer. But then the movie, because it's</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>like a movie from the nineties, not even suggests it.</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>It's just like they're friends. They're friends who don't kiss</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>each other like they're friends, and they lived together for</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>such a long time, which based on how you described,</span><br/><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-time>(26:53)</span>:<br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>like the history of queer representation in South Korean cinema</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>so young, you might expect there to be more of</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>a like coding of like that relationship. Even if like</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>the two characters like do team up and like screw</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>over the men, that the precedent was set, it sounds</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>like to not get very explicit about the nature of</span><br/><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-time>(27:14)</span>:<br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>their relationship. So the fact that we do it is</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>very explicit, and we do see steamy sex scenes, which</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>again we'll talk about. But yeah, I was like, I</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>thought that was I thought that was really cool because</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>I did a little bit of just kind of I'm</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>by no means an expert in Korean media and certainly</span><br/><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-time>(27:36)</span>:<br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>not in like queer representation of it. But there is</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>a very helpful Wikipedia, our favorite scholarly journal page specifically</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>about queer representation in Korean media and that how according</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>to two scholars pill Ho Kim and see Colin Singer,</span><br/><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-time>(27:58)</span>:<br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>there are three pretty distinct waves of queer representation in</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>Korean cinema. Where there's like an invisible age from nine</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>seven where there was like minimal, very minimal l g</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>B t Q plus representation in film. But those films</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>were like relegated to the sidelines, like they didn't get publicity,</span><br/><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-time>(28:18)</span>:<br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>they were not mainstream. Most people didn't see them. They</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>like flew under the radar, and then there was the</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>Camouflage age from two thousand four, where representation grew during</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>that period, but queer characters and themes were still sidelined</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>and overshadowed by more heteronormative characters and themes. And then</span><br/><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-time>(28:43)</span>:<br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>finally the blockbuster age from two five to the present,</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>where cultural acceptance of queer people in queer communities in</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>South Korea as well as queer representation in media has</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>just kind of like been on the rise and been</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>more tolerated and accepted. So which like doesn't sound that</span><br/><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-time>(29:04)</span>:<br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>unlike the trend of queer representation and American Hollywood cinema</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>to be honest. Yeah, it's just a little slower, a</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>little more behind, right. Another trip that I really liked</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>that this movie because we've we've been covering a number</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>of query movies recently, and I think it was in</span><br/><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-time>(29:27)</span>:<br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>our Portrait of a Lady on Fire episode where we</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>discussed the trope that it's also a very white trope ordinarily,</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>but when there is a period piece with a lesbian</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>couple that it's all very doomed, it's all very like it.</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>It never ends well for the couple. The couple never</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>is able to survive the adversity, which is in some</span><br/><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-time>(29:50)</span>:<br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>ways at odds with many historical examples, but that is</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>the trend that movies have taken. And so when I</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>when I learned this was a period piece, I was like, Oh, no,</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>are we going to get another you know, doomed queer</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>couple that and and we don't they win? Like they win,</span><br/><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-time>(30:10)</span>:<br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>and I mean it was I guess it does kind</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>of demonstrate how going for scraps we still have to</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>be at times. But I was like, they their their</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>love survives, they overcome the adversity. It's not like, you know,</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>an ending where they're just like, I wonder what could</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>have been, Like they're on the damn boat having sex.</span><br/><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-time>(30:32)</span>:<br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>I was thrilled that that they ended up together at</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>the end, And because it's yeah, and in period pieces especially,</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>I feel like that is kind of rare. Yeah, I</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>think it legit shocked me given the historical context of</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>the of the movie, because you know, during that time,</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>it was like a lot of people died, so it</span><br/><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-time>(30:53)</span>:<br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>wouldn't it wouldn't have been strange to kind of see</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>that ending with the fact that it was a happy ending.</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>I mean, that was that was amazing. I was like, absolutely,</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>I'm here for it. Yeah. In the Catharsis of like</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>the two men dying, cut to two women just like</span><br/><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-time>(31:13)</span>:<br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>putting jingle bells in there for joying and having a ball.</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>I guess that's one literally no pun intended having a ball,</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>and oh god, the that. There were moments where I like,</span><br/><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-time>(31:36)</span>:<br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>this movie is just straight up smarter than me in</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>certain ways where I was like, oh, yeah, like I</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>know that the bell. I was like, the bell is</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>a metaphorical object. I can pick up on that much.</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>And so when they're fucking each other with the bells,</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>I'm like, this means something. I don't know what, but</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>definitely something. It's a metaphorical thing. And I and and sure,</span><br/><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-time>(31:57)</span>:<br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>and I totally understand. Yeah, I don't know what the</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>bells are a metaphor for, but I feel like I</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>don't need to know. I don't know. I every time</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>I'm just like, it's a metaphor for dot dot patriarchy.</span><br/><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-time>(32:18)</span>:<br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>I don't actually really know. Uh. I think the bells</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>they were in um one of the books that the</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>lady she read. I think they're just kind of like, oh,</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>I'm going to reclaim it. You know, it's not part</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>of this weird, creepy whatever thing that I'm doing from</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>my uncle. It's like our love things. That's what I thought.</span><br/><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-time>(32:40)</span>:<br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>I don't know, because it's like uses their uses a</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>weapon at one point, and okay, maybe I do understand. Oh,</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>but those are a different set of metal balls that</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>are used, like Okay, then I'm lost again. Yeah, I</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>think that was stove, that was right. The bells Okay, no,</span><br/><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-time>(33:02)</span>:<br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>they look similar, but no, but you're right, so young</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>where she was, because it's this difference of she's being</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>forced against her will to read these stories solely for</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>the sake of the pleasure of all of these men,</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>and then when we actually see her use those toys, materials,</span><br/><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-time>(33:26)</span>:<br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>the items, the bells, the bells, now, it's like they're</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>on her terms and she's not doing it for these</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>creepy men. She's doing it for herself. So it's like</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>a nice, just symbolic thing. I also noticed in that</span><br/><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-time>(33:50)</span>:<br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>scene when she's reading about because that's the only scene</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>I think where she's doing a reading from one of</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>those books that does involve two women, and we see</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>her like pat her little handkerchief, like pat down her</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>like perspiration, as if to say, Wow, that actually got</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>me excited because of all the other the other scenes</span><br/><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-time>(34:12)</span>:<br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>where she's doing readings about like a penis going into</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>a vagina, She's just like not interested, do not care,</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>and a penis going into a vagina in a pretty</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>a pretty mean way most of the time, like that</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>they're they're not they're very unpleasant stories that all these</span><br/><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-time>(34:32)</span>:<br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>guys are getting extremely aroused by. It's all like, I mean,</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>I guess that that is like so much of what</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>comes up in the movie is like the the men</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>of this story policing and controlling the women in their</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>lives and controlling their bodies sexually, controlling their bodies in</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>terms of like Lady Hideko is literally like trapped in</span><br/><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-time>(34:55)</span>:<br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>this castle kind of Princess Peach style, and it's it's</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>like about the extreme control of women's bodies and and</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>an attempt to control their minds which doesn't succeed. But yeah,</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>I don't know, I mean, it's it's so And and</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>then also in the case of the uncle, this really</span><br/><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-time>(35:17)</span>:<br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>volatile nature of like repeated intimidation of his wife who</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>eventually takes her own life, and and his niece. No</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>he it's implied that he kills her, but but it's</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>played off as though she killed herself. But in any case,</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>like it repeatedly like instilling them with fear and threats,</span><br/><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-time>(35:38)</span>:<br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>and then when they respond to that, they're framed as</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>hysterical in this very I mean, I guess you're like, well,</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>it's theties, of course that is happening. But um, it</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>was interesting seeing it framed the way it was, where</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>it was like even with that deception that they're like, oh,</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>she she took her own life, you know, because she</span><br/><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-time>(36:00)</span>:<br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>you know, she was suffering from something that we don't</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>really know what was going on, when it's like so</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>clear what is going on in this house where women</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>are just brutalized and if I don't know, I mean</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>it's it's it's really brutal in some um in some</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>sections of this movie, to the point where you know,</span><br/><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-time>(36:21)</span>:<br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>when the when the count and the uncle kind of</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>get their come up into at the end, you're like,</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>thank god, Uh yeah, especially with the reveal that the</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>uncle has been basically grooming her since childhood to read</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>this like erotic literature, that's straight up child sex abuse.</span><br/><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-time>(36:42)</span>:<br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>And so when he keels over and dies, I was like,</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>it's about damned time. Um, let's take another quick break</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>and then we will be right back, and we're back.</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>We we've referenced this already. But so Fingersmith was the</span><br/><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-time>(37:07)</span>:<br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>inspiration for this story. It sounds like it deviates kind</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>of significantly in the back half. But um, I was,</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>you know, pleasantly surprised, knowing nothing about the background of</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>this movie, to find that it had been adapted by</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>a text by a queer woman, by a Welsh author</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>named Sarah Waters, who wrote this in two thousand two.</span><br/><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-time>(37:29)</span>:<br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>And I thought that just I don't know all the</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>information on adapting this movie and adapting that story to</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>Japan and Korea in this time period. I I learned</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>a lot, having h having gotten you know, a piss</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>poor American education that this same this period of history</span><br/><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-time>(37:49)</span>:<br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>in Korea and Japan. I was not well versed in.</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>I knew kind of the main bullet points, but learning</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>more about the annexation of Korea and just the complete culture,</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>erasure and colonialism that was going on at this time</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>was not something that I was very well versed in.</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>And it doesn't sound like it was something that Sarah Waters,</span><br/><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-time>(38:11)</span>:<br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>a Welsh author, was very well first in as well,</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>and so there will link this in the description. But</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>it's just a very interesting adaptation story. Where Sarah Waters</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>was at first, um not sure whether Park Chun Wook,</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>who is the director of this movie and many other movies.</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>He's kind of has a reputation for being a hyper</span><br/><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-time>(38:33)</span>:<br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>masculine director, like he directs pretty like he directed Old Boy.</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>He directed all these like really male driven movies, and</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>so at first she was like, I don't does this</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>make sense. Once they like discussed collaborating and hester and</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>and he also wrote this script with female co writer</span><br/><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-time>(38:55)</span>:<br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>Chung I hope that I'm getting right Chung cho kieong um,</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>who he's worked with a number of times over the years.</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>So he had he had a female co writer and</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>they proposed this time shift, and that was what got</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>Sarah Waters on board. So I just I don't know,</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>it's it's it's a really cool story of and I</span><br/><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-time>(39:17)</span>:<br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>feel like this time period in the setting like fit</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>the stories so effortlessly and also kind of I mean,</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>based on what you're saying about the BBC adaptation, Caitlin,</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>sounds like it sort of expands the scope of what</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>the story is able to explore because it's you know,</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>not only is it examining class in a lot of ways,</span><br/><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-time>(39:38)</span>:<br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>and it's like examining queerness and it's examining patriarchy, but</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>it's also touching on this you know, extreme period of</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>colonialism and really aggressive cultural erasure in a way. It</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>sounds like the source material didn't because of where, where</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>and when it was set. So um, yeah, yeah, it's</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>just a really interesting story. Yeah. Like I was like,</span><br/><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-time>(40:00)</span>:<br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>turns out I know nothing about this period of history.</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>Let me read the Wikipedia page. And it's just like</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>in the US, we're just like not taught about this</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>period of time at all. Yeah, so, uh, this movie</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>inspired me to like learn about it. So I did</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>read the first several paragraphs of the Wikipedia page about it. Well,</span><br/><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-time>(40:22)</span>:<br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>we'll link to some resources in uh in the description</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>as well, if you like us got a very limited</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>shitty education the United States. Yeah, I just wanted to add, like,</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>I think one of the interesting things is, like, so</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>the brutality of the men, right, the men were pretty</span><br/><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-time>(40:43)</span>:<br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>terrible and they did pretty terrible things. But during this time,</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>you know, there was a lot of anti Japanese sentiment</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>obviously because of what was happening and I thought it</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>was really interesting because these two men are very pro Japanese, right,</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>they want, you know, doing all these things, but they're Korean,</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>and so it kind of showed the whole, you know,</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>in my personal opinion, it showed a whole like all</span><br/><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-time>(41:05)</span>:<br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>the Koreans who kind of portrayed, you know, our country</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>in a sense, we're worse than the Japanese people who</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>invaded our country. So I did find that that's a</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>very interesting framing of that from pac John because you know,</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>during this time it was such a you know, was</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>obviously about time, but kind of that shine through the</span><br/><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-time>(41:26)</span>:<br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>very you know, don't be this type of person during</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>this horrible time in which you know, this thing's happened.</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>So yeah, yeah, totally. Yeah. There there's like that whole</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>conversation they have where it's like a reveal later in</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>the movie that the uncle has done the same thing</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>that the Count is in the middle of doing, which</span><br/><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-time>(41:47)</span>:<br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>is yeah, you know, saying their their Japanese when they</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>are not and being generally villainous. And but there's like</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>that whole conversation they have where the uncle is talking</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>about how he that Korea is ugly and Japan is beautiful,</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>and the Count says, oh, you know, that's interesting. I've</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>heard people say the exact opposite, and it's like the</span><br/><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-time>(42:10)</span>:<br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>I don't know, I mean, and again I'm I'm not</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>extremely educated in this period of history at all, but</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>just even opening this story to make room for discussion</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>about that, and it does seem like Park chinook Is</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>is making kind of a value judgment of of these</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>characters through their behavior outside of of the colonial history.</span><br/><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-time>(42:34)</span>:<br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>It's it's it's it's you know, I never want to</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>see someone's fingers chopped off by like a paper cutter. Uh.</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>I guess that's the end of the sentence. But you know,</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>it's like if it had to happen to someone, I'm like,</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>the Count is terrible, and and as the as the</span><br/><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-time>(42:54)</span>:<br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>story goes on, you just realize more more angles from</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>which he is terrible, and so when they take his</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>fingers off with a paper cutter, it's like, you know, yeah, okay, fine, fine,</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>I'll allow it. Yeah no, Uh, both the Count and</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>the uncle got what they deserved as far as I'm concerned,</span><br/><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-time>(43:16)</span>:<br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>because you know, they're both abusers, their manipulators. I mean,</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>we see a scene where the Count tries to sexually</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>assault Hittigo. These are awful, awful men, and so I</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>appreciate that we see toxic male behavior being punished because</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>they end up dying because the women were very clever</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>in their like orchestration of this scheme to get back</span><br/><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-time>(43:41)</span>:<br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>at them. And I thought that was really cool to see.</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>You often don't see toxic male behavior punished in movies.</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>So yeah, I just appreciated that a lot. And it</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>does seem like they really I mean, both of those</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>characters are leve viridging the most dominant advantage they have,</span><br/><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-time>(44:03)</span>:<br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>which is the fact that they're men. And it is</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>I feel like any you know, any empathy you could</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>generate for these characters, who are to an extent in</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>a really difficult situation as Korean men at this time</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>of intense colonialism, is completely undercut by the fact that</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>they're taking it out on the women around them, the</span><br/><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-time>(44:25)</span>:<br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>people who have less power than them, and elevating themselves</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>at the expense of the people who have less power.</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>And there's there were some like interesting moments I found</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>interesting with account where he says these things that sound</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>so cutting and cruel, but you can sort of understand</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>why he's saying them, even if you don't agree with it.</span><br/><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-time>(44:46)</span>:<br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>Where he's saying, you know, where I come from, it's</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>illegal to be naive, and sort of referencing the fact</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>that he's from the underclass and he's from he's Korean,</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>he's from a really oppressed group of people at this time,</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>and so you can understand why he would say that.</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>But what he's talking about is deceiving a Korean woman</span><br/><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-time>(45:09)</span>:<br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>and throwing her in jail essentially, and it's yeah, yeah,</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>it's almost like blaming her and it's like you shouldn't</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>have trusted anybody. Yeah, ever, right, Yeah, it's it's all</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>very fascinating and the yeah, the way that these really</span><br/><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-time>(45:31)</span>:<br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>terrible men in the movie are punished for their like</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>upholding of the patriarchy is very exciting to watch in</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>a way that doesn't really I mean, it kind of</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>happens in Fingersmiths, but like, again, the major change that</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>I really appreciate is the two women like realizing that</span><br/><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-time>(45:54)</span>:<br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>they're in love with the other. That kind of prompts</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>them to admit what's going on. Then they're like, yeah,</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>I'm upset that you tricked me, but also I was</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>tricking you, so I can't be that upset. But now</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>that we know what the real situation is, let's team up.</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>And now there's a third trickery happening against the count.</span><br/><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-time>(46:20)</span>:<br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>So I love a movie with tricks. It's exciting. Um,</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>should we talk a little bit more about the sex</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>scenes slash the mail Gaze. Yeah, let's get into where So,</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>like we mentioned, there have been mixed reviews about this</span><br/><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-time>(46:42)</span>:<br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>where some of the discussion around this film was how</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>the movie deconstructs or transcends the mail gaze. I think</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>more based on the events of the story and how</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>like these women team up and collaborate and take down</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>the men, rather than the sex scenes themselves. Because other</span><br/><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-time>(47:04)</span>:<br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>critics have been like, um, well, it is a movie</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>about lesbians with some graphic sex scenes that were shot</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>by a director and cinematographer who are both men, and</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>the sex scenes are really long and and quite graphic,</span><br/><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-time>(47:27)</span>:<br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>and you know, there's still male gaze involved because of</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>the people who are capturing this imagery and delivering it</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>to an audience. And then other people were like, but</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>what about the part of the movie where there's like</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>a shot from the point of view of Heidako's volva,</span><br/><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-time>(47:50)</span>:<br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>where like we just see Suki like leaning in with</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>her tongue out about she had a goal pro on</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>her LA is essentially the shot, and so it's like, well,</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>how could that be the male gaze when it's literally</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>from the point of view of a vagina. And then</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>so there's you know, there's a lot of sides to</span><br/><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-time>(48:11)</span>:<br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>this argument. I'm curious how the both of you feel</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>about this. I think, Okay, look, I think the sex</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>scenes were over the top. That's just my personal opinion.</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>I think it was a lot and very graphic and</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>almost like unnecessarily graphic, honestly, And I do agree. It's</span><br/><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-time>(48:32)</span>:<br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>a male director, it's a male cinematographer, so there is</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>a male gaze there especially. I don't know the director obviously,</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>but just kind of like how much do they really</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>know about how the sex scene should go, you know,</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>and like in other lgbt Q movies. So I'll say, yeah,</span><br/><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-time>(48:53)</span>:<br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>that's like my main criticism it is it's a lot.</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>It's definitely almost too much. And I think if you</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>didn't have it that graphic or whatever, it wouldn't have</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>taken away from the story whatsoever. So I think, yeah,</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>I think it was a little too much. I wasn't sure.</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>I mean I was interested to read through all the</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>different takes, and it's like, you know, if if you</span><br/><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-time>(49:14)</span>:<br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>loved the sex scene, that's great. I didn't. I mean,</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>I liked that there was a sex scene there. I</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>didn't have any issue with that because I feel like,</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>you know, very often, like we're talking about earlier, when</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>there's a lesbian relationship, it's all very like Wink wink</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>fade to black in mainstream movies, but the scenes are</span><br/><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-time>(49:36)</span>:<br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>very long. They're extremely long. The go pro shot through me. Uh,</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>he also get the same sex scene twice from like</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>two different points of view. I guess yeah. I mean,</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>knowing that it was directed and filmed by men, I</span><br/><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-time>(49:56)</span>:<br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>feel like kind of tells you what you need to know.</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>And I was also interested in This came from a</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>Guardian profile of Sarah Waters, who wrote Fingersmith at the</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>time The Handmaiden came out and kind of like clarified.</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>I was like, what is so essentially what it says</span><br/><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-time>(50:17)</span>:<br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>is in in the book, which we're not going to read,</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>but in in the book, I guess, uh, you know,</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>Sarah Waters very often writes lesbian romances in her work,</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>but a lot of what she's known for is just</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>talking about women's bodies very frankly, in a way that</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>like incorporates things like sweat and like pubic hair and</span><br/><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-time>(50:42)</span>:<br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>just things that are kind of a glossed over and</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>a lot of big movie sex scenes and present this</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>very idealized version of what lesbian sex looks like. And</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>I and that is like made clear in the story too,</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>where you know, like when Lady high Deco is reading this,</span><br/><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-time>(51:03)</span>:<br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>you know, pornographic literature, they're referencing the vagina repeatedly as</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>like hairless, smooth, like this mythic thing that those who</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>have vaginas are, Like, okay, sure, like it's somehow like</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>pearly white, made of jade, the jade gates, you know,</span><br/><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-time>(51:25)</span>:<br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>and they're like folds of like gore. You're like, okay,</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>but sparkles and shimmers and but there's also other stuff</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>going on. Um. And it seems like her work was</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>kind of known for just like talking about bodies in</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>that way that was like very sexual, but also about</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>actual bodies and not this like mythic view of what</span><br/><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-time>(51:48)</span>:<br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>bodies are. And I felt like the sex scenes in</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>this movie didn't really meet that where it's still felt</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>even though the other side of that came across clearly</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>that it's like listening to her half to talk about</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>this really unrealistic view of what a vagina looks like</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>day after day is clearly wearing on her and is</span><br/><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-time>(52:09)</span>:<br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>ridiculous and male gazy. The sex scenms, I feel like,</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>didn't really challenge that enough. I don't know, I don't know.</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>My personal opinion is that they were they were long. Yeah,</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>I'm like of two minds about it, where I think</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>it's cool that we do get more of a foray</span><br/><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-time>(52:33)</span>:<br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>into lesbian sex than you tend to see in mainstream movies,</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>just because of like our heteronormative society and so much</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>phobia around queer sex. There's just been a tendency to</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>shy away from it, or skirt around it, or just</span><br/><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-time>(52:55)</span>:<br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>not feature it, especially because when it's lesbian sex there</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>is double the focus on female pleasure, which is something</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>that even in hetero sex scenes and just again culture</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>at large, the idea of female pleasure is terrifying to</span><br/><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-time>(53:17)</span>:<br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>a large chunk of the population. So further to be,</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>this emphasis on female pleasure in the sex scenes is</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>cool and exciting, but the sex scenes linger on for</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>longer than we need, and ultimately they are by the</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>very nature of who is making this film shot through</span><br/><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-time>(53:41)</span>:<br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>the male gaze and interpreted through the male gaze, and</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>even sort of the way in which the like the</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>blocking of the sex scenes feels it's a lot. It's</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>it's just knowing there is a man on the other</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>side of the go pro it feels it's like, it</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>feels fetishy, the way some straight men are like, oh yeah,</span><br/><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-time>(54:05)</span>:<br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>getting it on, that's so hot. I agree, And I</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>feel like that is like another thing that it seems like,</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>I mean, just based on doing basic research on this</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>production team that Park Chinook very often collaborates with the</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>same group of people, and this is a cinematographer he</span><br/><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-time>(54:25)</span>:<br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>works with a lot. But it's like if again, it's</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>like when we talk about this with male directors all</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>the time, of like, if you are dead set on</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>adapting this story, then you need to be flexible in</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>who you're working with, and you need to like really</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>make sure you have people in the room who will</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>just be able to speak to the experience, because otherwise</span><br/><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-time>(54:48)</span>:<br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>there's going to be stuff that feels dissonant. I did</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>read an interview with the director in which he addresses</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>these sex scenes, and it seems like his general intention</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>was that he understood how like delicate of a thing</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>this would be to shoot, and he wanted to be</span><br/><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-time>(55:10)</span>:<br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>as considerate and respectful to the actors as possible, because</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>that's always something we're like, Okay, these actors have to</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>be naked in front of a bunch of people, they</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>have to be physically close with another actor simulating sex,</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>and depending on different factors, this has the potential to</span><br/><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-time>(55:31)</span>:<br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>be very uncomfortable for actors. So I found this interview</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>in which he it seems like, you know, he he</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>did his very best, although some of the answers are</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>funny where he's like, that day, we hired a woman</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>to be the boom operator for that day on set,</span><br/><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-time>(55:51)</span>:<br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>and it's like, well, is that the only circumstances where</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>you would hire a woman to be or boom operate?</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>But it seems like he was like fully aware of</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>the situation. He wanted to make everyone as comfortable as possible.</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>So there was like very minimal crew on set for</span><br/><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-time>(56:13)</span>:<br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>those scenes. The DP and the camera operator were not</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>on set that they were using like a remote controlled camera.</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>I hope there's like an intimacy coordinator or something of</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>that nature. Yeah, I'm glad you brought that up, because</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>so if any listeners are not aware, if a movie</span><br/><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-time>(56:37)</span>:<br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>or TV production has a sex scene, ideally they will</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>hire what's called an intimacy coordinator, who is there to</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>advocate for the well being and safety of the actors</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>who participate in sex scenes or just like kind of</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>any other physically intimate scenes. Again, ideally a set will</span><br/><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-time>(57:00)</span>:<br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>of this person, but that's not always the case. And</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>as far as whether or not an intimacy coordinator was</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>present on this set, that did not get spoken of,</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>So I I am not sure. I really hope. So,</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>oh my god, if you're that naked, please have a</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>person who is your advocate there, that is I hope</span><br/><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-time>(57:22)</span>:<br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>he he just forgot to mention that person. Yeah, that</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>did not come up in the interview, but at least</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>it sounds like he made an effort. I didn't find</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>anything on how the actors felt about those scenes, about</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>you know, whether they were comfortable. I hope so. But yeah,</span><br/><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-time>(57:45)</span>:<br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>it's also sort of like, okay, if you have to</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>take so many leaps and bounds to make the shooting</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>of this safe for the actors. It's also a question</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>of like, Okay, do I like, does this absolutely you</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>need to happen this way? Or I feel like they're</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>I mean, in the erotic thriller genre in general, I</span><br/><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-time>(58:08)</span>:<br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>feel like sometimes it's like, I don't know, I'm generally</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>showing up for the thriller elements, and then if people</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>are fucking amazing, that's great, but that's not like what</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>what I'm like, what the bulk of the movie is. Um,</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>But yeah, I feel like that those seeds were like, Okay,</span><br/><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-time>(58:29)</span>:<br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>this is an erotic thriller, get it, especially because like,</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>I'm also interested on your both of your thoughts on</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>this as well. But to me, there's far more of</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>an emphasis in the movie on their sexual connection and</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>like their physical attraction than there is on like an</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>actual like what do they have in common? Why do</span><br/><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-time>(58:51)</span>:<br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>they like each other? I didn't get a big sense</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>of that. But also maybe I'm forgetting some stuff. I</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>do think. Yeah, I think there's more emphasis on the</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>sexual parts. I think with the emotional like aspect of it.</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>The part that sticks out to me is like the</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>time when they're when Suki is destroying all the books</span><br/><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-time>(59:13)</span>:<br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>and the paintings and whatnot, and she's like so angry</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>because she understands, you know, what has been happening. She</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>destroys everything, and the Lady Jadeko is just you know,</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>standing there, just like not fully sure on what to do.</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>She's just like, what is happening? I don't know. I</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>feel like that, Like on an emotional level, was like</span><br/><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-time>(59:34)</span>:<br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>I don't know. I felt that. I was like, oh,</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>that's really sweet because you know, they're kind of their</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>worlds are colliding in this moment where it's like she</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>kind of like is thinking, oh, I thought you were</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>this rich girl who doesn't really understand anything, but it's like, no,</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>you're you're victimized the way I'm victimized, just in different aspects,</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>you know. So I feel like that's kind of how</span><br/><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-time>(59:54)</span>:<br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>the world is collided in that sense. That's what That's</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>what I saw. That's the scene I remember. Yeah, I</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>felt a similar way where it's you know, I guess</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>that you learn more about their emotional connection in the</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>back half, where like part one definitely doesn't give you</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>everything you need, but also part one gives you a</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>completely false impression of who Lady Hideko is. Like I</span><br/><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-time>(01:00:19)</span>:<br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>feel like if we were just like all my notes</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>from part one was like, oh my gosh, like Lady</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>Hideko is on this like born sexy Yesterday thing going on,</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>and she's just like, I don't what is sex. I've</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>never heard of that, and you know, and and in</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>a way that I thought like the movie had fun</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>with later where they kind of poke fun at Suki</span><br/><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-time>(01:00:39)</span>:<br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>for being like, wow, this must just you must have</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>incredible instincts for being like, yeah, you're natural. That made</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>me laugh. Uh, But I I thought that, I mean,</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>I don't know, I felt like any relationship where they</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>just surprised each other and like, I don't know, I'm</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>I'm always like kind of a sucker for relationships like that,</span><br/><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-time>(01:01:02)</span>:<br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>and it is like, you know, kind of like definitely</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>a class story we've seen before. Let's say Titan Titan perhaps,</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>but where where you know, it's it's like they have</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>very rigid ideas of who this person is going to</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>be and they end up getting surprised by that person</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>having a lot more to them than they expected. So</span><br/><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-time>(01:01:26)</span>:<br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>I was on board for the love story. I I</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>got why they were drawn to each other as people,</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>and I think, you know, we definitely could have spent</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>more time with it um and with with them as</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>that relationship was building, but especially those like longer scenes</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>in part one when you reflect on them and you're like, oh,</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>like lady Hideko is playing four D chess and she</span><br/><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-time>(01:01:49)</span>:<br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>knows exactly what's going on, and even still she's like</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>falling for Suki. I don't know. I was on board</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>for the romance. I thought it was I thought it</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>was like a classic you know, star cross levers across</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>classes kind of thing. Sure, you just contrived in itself,</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>but like, I think we could have shortened those sex</span><br/><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-time>(01:02:12)</span>:<br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>scenes and given us like one or two more signifiers</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>of just like, oh, yeah, here's what they bond over,</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>here's the thing that they both like, or here's a</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>little thing that they have in common, because I don't</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>really I still don't have the strongest sense of that.</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>And it's one thing, you know, if a movie wants</span><br/><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-time>(01:02:33)</span>:<br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>to present this connection just as a sexual connection, like</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>obviously not every connection between people needs to be this deep, intimate,</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>long lasting love, but I feel like the movie frames</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>their connection as deep love. So I don't know, But</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>now I'm just picturing Titanic. If Titanic were like Billy</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>Zane and Rose collaborating to trick Jack Dawson into something.</span><br/><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-time>(01:02:59)</span>:<br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>But it turns out wait a minute, Rose and Jack</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>are collaborating to trick Billy Zane and get his fortune.</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>Everything remaps onto Titanic. It's just nature. Um, it's unavoidable.</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>And that's something that I also like, It's a trope</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>we talked about a jillion times, but relationships that are</span><br/><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-time>(01:03:21)</span>:<br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>founded on lies, you know, that was like I was</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>aware of very early in the movie. But again, I</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>feel like this movie kind of like finds its way</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>out of the trappings of that where the lies are</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>found out and they simply admit it and apologize to</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>each other and then like take action in a positive</span><br/><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-time>(01:03:42)</span>:<br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>direction where I feel like, you know, we've covered five</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>trillion movies at this point. That is like there's a</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>dare that involves a lie and it makes sense but</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>not really. And then at the end, the you know,</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>the person lying usually in this heterosexual relationship is like</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>Freddy Prince Jr. And he's like, I don't know, I</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>told a lie and I'm not even sorry and I apologize.</span><br/><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-time>(01:04:06)</span>:<br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>This movie, you know, like skirts, all of those things</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>where it is just everything is a lie at the beginning.</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>But then there's that great scene where uh Suki catches</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>Lady Hideco and they have this this just very emotionally</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>raw conversation. They're both crying, they're both being honest, and</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>then and then they singlehandedly destroyed the patriarchy at the end.</span><br/><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-time>(01:04:30)</span>:<br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>So there. Yeah, Also, I mean they're both victims of</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>this patriarchal structure. They're both they have a lot of</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>trauma that they have been subjected to. So yeah, I</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>mean it makes sense that they bond again. I just</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>I wish there was just to smidge more. There's also</span><br/><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-time>(01:04:52)</span>:<br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>that moment that I don't know in the different it</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>makes me want to like watch it back again because</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>I feel like this, like this movie does like give</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>you a lot back once you know what's going to</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>happen in the middle. But even the ways that like</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>their patriarchal structure influences their assumptions of each other. Where</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>at the beginning, like Suki, we hear her talking in</span><br/><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-time>(01:05:15)</span>:<br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>voiceover a lot, and she's talking about Lady Hideko as</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>if she's an object at the beginning, and she's like,</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>you know, ladies are handmaidens, dolls, and like she is</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>you know, being encouraged to think of her in this</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>very particular way and being encouraged to think of her as,</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>you know, someone who is not as smart as her.</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>And then in the second half, we're being encouraged to</span><br/><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-time>(01:05:37)</span>:<br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>think of Suki as someone who is not as smart</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>as Lady Hideko based on how she's been conditioned to view,</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>you know, poor women and and poor people in general.</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>And then in the third part you realize, uh, guess</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>what neither was true? And it was somewhere in the middle,</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>and and they're on the both geniuses, both geniuses, and</span><br/><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-time>(01:05:58)</span>:<br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>and they're on about I really liked Suki had this fun,</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>like Aladdin style introduction to who she was that I</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>thought was very exciting, where I like the the mythos</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>of Suki's life where she's like, I am the world's</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>greatest thief, and I was like, oh my god, she's Aladdin.</span><br/><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-time>(01:06:20)</span>:<br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>This is exciting. And that was I don't know if</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>that has anything to do with anything, but I wrote down,</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>Suki equals Aladdin and she falls in love with her.</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>Princess Jasmine um Hitiko teaches Suki how to read. So</span><br/><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-time>(01:06:42)</span>:<br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>women helping other women, women, uplifting women, you love to</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>see it. Although reading for Hideko was a prison for</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>a long time. She was to read for evil. It's true,</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>and that's why we don't read books. And that's why</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>on the Bectel cast we don't read books because reading,</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>actually women reading is a prison dangerous. We've been saying</span><br/><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-time>(01:07:07)</span>:<br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>this for years. At this point, it's dangerous. I mean</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>to call back to another Disney movie. According to Guston</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>in Beauty and the Beast, women who read it gives</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>them ideas and then they start thinking, and that is dangerous.</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>It's dangerous. Um, does anyone, Does anyone have anything else</span><br/><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-time>(01:07:29)</span>:<br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>they would like to talk about? Ah, that's all I had. Yeah,</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>I just wanted to add. So there's in the second</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>half of the movie. There's a scene we've seen a</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>couple of times from two different points of view where</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>Suki is like standing in as just like a model</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>for the art, like the painting that Hideko is doing</span><br/><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-time>(01:07:52)</span>:<br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>of Suki. And you see a quick reveal of her</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>drawing of Suki, and it's the funniest thing in the</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>world because it's so bad. It's really bad. But they</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>it's like what Leonardo DiCaprio was actually drawing. In the</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>Satanic he's like, um, circled dot dot smile, and then</span><br/><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-time>(01:08:16)</span>:<br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>you just get like the quickest glimpse of it. But</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>it's not really played as a joke. But I like,</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>I burst out laughing every time I see it because</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>it's so funny. Because then because first you see so</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>the council thing is that he's been training for years</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>to be a forger, so he like he's a talented artist,</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>Like he's a really good artist. He's really good at</span><br/><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-time>(01:08:38)</span>:<br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>creating these forgeries of these books and like the art</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>in the books, so he knows what he's doing. And</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>you see like his little sketches and paintings of Suki</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>and you're like, oh damn, Like he's great, and then</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>it pans over to Lady Jideko's drawing. It's the funniest</span><br/><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-time>(01:08:59)</span>:<br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>thing in the world. It's really bad. It's um, I</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>guess the last serious thing I wanted to talk about.</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>And I don't know a whole lot about Park chan</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>wooks filmography. I've seen Old Boy, but it's been several years,</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>so I don't remember it that well. So I don't</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>really know much about him as a figure, and sort</span><br/><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-time>(01:09:20)</span>:<br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>of like his his background and stuff like that. But</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>one of his reasons for wanting to make this movie</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>is that his intention was to normalize queer relationships in cinema,</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>and you know, that's not something that most straight male</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>directors are concerned with. So I feel like it's a</span><br/><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-time>(01:09:42)</span>:<br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>it's a classic step in the right direction kind of</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>move where we've talked about I think a lot of</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>instances like this where the attempt is perhaps in perfect</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>in some ways. But the endorsement of a you know,</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>super fame mis director, and I mean not even the internship,</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>but like a super famous director prioritizing representation of queer</span><br/><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-time>(01:10:07)</span>:<br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>people and of a lesbian relationship in their work is</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>like a good step in the right direction. Does it</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>mean that everything was represented perfectly and in a way</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>that made total sense? Usually not in those cases, because</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>most of these hot shot directors are normally straight men,</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>and they're you know, and there, and therefore they're fucked</span><br/><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-time>(01:10:30)</span>:<br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>in terms of their worldview. But but it usually indicates,</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>I feel like, at least historically, it usually indicates that</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>better movies and better representation is close behind, or I hope.</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>So yeah, yeah, And this movie being a success and</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>critically acclaimed hopefully paves the way for queer women in</span><br/><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-time>(01:10:54)</span>:<br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>South Korea to be able to tell their own stories next,</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>let's hope. So yeah, so the movie does pass the</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>Bechdel test. Hell yeah, a lot of women scheming, a</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>lot of women lying to each other in a way</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>that passes the Bechtel test. And as far as our</span><br/><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-time>(01:11:16)</span>:<br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>nipple scale, our scale of zero to five nipples, based</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>on how the movie Fair is looking at it through</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>the lens of intersectional feminism, I'm tempted to give this</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>like a four point to five. Just the narrative that</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>unfolds of ultimately like women teaming up two overthrow and</span><br/><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-time>(01:11:44)</span>:<br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>manipulate their oppressors the way that they had been manipulating</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>them and coming out on top being allowed to like</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>be together on this ferry and then hopefully after that</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>for however much time they want to spend together, if</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>they live, you know, the rest of their lives together.</span><br/><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-time>(01:12:04)</span>:<br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>And yeah, just like all the commentary on the patriarchy</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>and the smashing of that patriarchy is just very satisfying</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>and cathartic to watch. Um, the sex scenes are pretty</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>male gazy, they're pretty fetish. She a bit gratuitous, will say,</span><br/><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-time>(01:12:28)</span>:<br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>you know, it always kind of begs a question was</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>this the right director to tell this story or you know,</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>like is this is there the right person to be</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>shooting these scenes, and like how much consultation was actually done,</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>et cetera. So that's where the movie loses some points.</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>So I think I'll land on a four and a quarter.</span><br/><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-time>(01:12:49)</span>:<br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>That might be too generous, but I just think this</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>movie rules, So I'm gonna go easy on it, and</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>I will give my nipples to try Kim who plays</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>Suki Minhi Kim who plays Hiteko, the screenwriter John s Kion,</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>and I'll give one to the aunt a tragic fate</span><br/><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-time>(01:13:14)</span>:<br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>and she she deserves something. I'll give my quarter nipple</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>to that amazing drawing. I'm gonna go I think're gonna</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>go there. We when we get into the fractions to</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>get so messy. I'm gonna I'm gonna go three point</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>seven five because ultimately this movie is directed and shot</span><br/><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-time>(01:13:37)</span>:<br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>by straight guys, So I I can't Yeah, I I</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>don't want to go too much higher than that. That said,</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>A period piece that has a female co writer based</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>on the work of famous lesbian writer. It's a period</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>piece where the lesbian couple stays together at a happy</span><br/><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-time>(01:13:58)</span>:<br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>ending for them, we see the their patriarchal structure, um,</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>at least in the terms of the two of them</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>crumble and is very cool and very rare in terms</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>of lesbian period pieces unfortunately. Uh So, I think that's</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>definitely something worth praising. The movie itself fucking rocks. Like,</span><br/><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-time>(01:14:22)</span>:<br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>if you haven't seen it, it's so fun. I wish</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>I had watched it with someone else so we could</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>have like, like all the right moments. But it's just</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>it's it's a really fun movie. It's very accessible if</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>you have Amazon Prime. Hail Basos. Sorry, we can legally</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>have to say that we love what we we love</span><br/><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-time>(01:14:44)</span>:<br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>our bald king. Uh but um, yeah, I mean I</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>think that there there are like little this The sex</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>scenes are male gazy, and they are quite long, and</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>there are I don't know, I mean, this is sort</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>of inherent to the kind of story that this is.</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>But anytime, it's like, the patriarchy is two people and</span><br/><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-time>(01:15:04)</span>:<br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>you know them. So if you can just get rid</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>of these two people, right, you're free. Like it's it's</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>fun in a fantasy way. But I'm always just like, Okay,</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>but what about the rest of it. Yeah, it's not</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>so much smashing the patriarchy. It's more smashing too much</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>those two guys, you know, which is also very hard.</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>But you know whatever, I'm getting very in the weeds there. Um,</span><br/><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-time>(01:15:27)</span>:<br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>I guess you know, I'll go for for a four,</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>but I can't go higher because when it's when it's</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>two straight guys, it's just like, okay, so this is</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>a step, but more please. Uh So I'll go for</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>and I'm giving them all to that go pro. So yeah,</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>what would what would you give it? Um? I think</span><br/><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-time>(01:15:50)</span>:<br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>I'd give it a solid for because you know, it's</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>a good story. It's it's great that it exists in</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>this world from you know, Korean stuff like that. But</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>just yeah, the sex scenes are so long. They're so long,</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>and I was just like, it's too long, and we</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>had to see multiple angles of it, and um, you know,</span><br/><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-time>(01:16:14)</span>:<br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>I feel like, you know, you could have shortened it</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>just a little bit, not like, you know, get rid</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>of it, but shortened it. But you know, I like</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>the story being told in that time of the occupation. Um.</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>And you know, their love actually you know, happy ending</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>they both get to be together. You know, the men</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>they die and everyone is happy who's alive? So I</span><br/><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-time>(01:16:37)</span>:<br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>give it a solid for amazing. Yeah, well, thank you</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>so much for joining us on this journey. Thank you</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>for having me. Of course.

Zef In</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>best start changing it with the Bell Cast. Hey, Jamie Caitlin,</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>I just wanted to say thank you so much for</span><br/><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-time>(00:21)</span>:<br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>giving me a job as your handmaiden.

Okay, well, I guess while we're on</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>the topic, I wanted to let you know that I'm</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>definitely not three steps ahead of you what with the trick,</span><br/><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-time>(00:43)</span>:<br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>and I'm tricking you based on your trick, and your</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>trick is actually a whole distraction. And it doesn't matter</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>because we're going to fall in love at the end.</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>At the end, all the tricks cancel each other out</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>and it's uh, and we're gonna go on a boat.</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>I love that for us, Good for us. Yeah, I'm</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>gonna seem I'm gonna seem like I've never been outside.</span><br/><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-time>(01:05)</span>:<br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>But here's a twist. I have been outside a couple</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>of times. Okay, at least all right, well, I love</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>that we're learning so much about each other. We're in love.</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>What can you do? Hello, and welcome to the Bechtel Cast.</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>Perfect intro as usual, amazing, we nailed it. My name</span><br/><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-time>(01:27)</span>:<br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>is Caitlin Darante, my name is Jamie Loftus. And this</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>is our podcast where we look at your favorite movies,</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>your least favorite movies, movies that you don't know how</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>to feel about, using an intersectional feminist lens. And we</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>use the Bechtel test simply as a jumping off point</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>to initiate a larger conversation. And the Bechtel test is</span><br/><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-time>(01:52)</span>:<br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>a media metric created by queer cartoonist Alison Bechtel, sometimes</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>called the Bechtel Wallace Test, and it has many versions,</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>and the one that we are using these days, and</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>let's and and and we also have been finessing this formula.</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>We've been finessing our little, our little twist on it</span><br/><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-time>(02:13)</span>:<br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>for half a decade. At this point, it's true. The</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>metric that we are using. The caveats, if you will,</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>are that a movie has to have two characters of</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>any marginalized gender who have names. They must speak to</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>each other about something other than a man. And ideally</span><br/><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-time>(02:36)</span>:<br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>their conversation is meaningful, plot relevant, not just a throwaway</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>exchange of dialogue or maybe it's in the case of</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>this movie, a deceitful exchange. I love a good deceitful exchange.</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>You know what it's allowed. And then something that we</span><br/><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-time>(02:59)</span>:<br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>should bring up more often. Um, but it's especially relevant</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>for a movie like this is that the test originally</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>appearing in Alison Becktel's Decks to Watch out For. In</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>the context for that was that Alison Becktel's characters, who</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>are queer women, would watch movies and pay attention to</span><br/><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-time>(03:21)</span>:<br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>if the female characters in the movies they're watching speak</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>to each other, and if so, do they talk about</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>things besides a man? Because if so, then Alison Bechtel's</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>characters could ship them together and pretend that they were</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>lesbians in the movie that they're watching. So that is</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>the origins of the Bechtel test, speaking to the piss</span><br/><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-time>(03:44)</span>:<br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>poor representation of any queer people in movies at the</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>time the comic was published back in A five right,</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>and then for a movie like this, no shipping required</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>because the care actors do that for you. It's cannon. Yes,</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>So the movie that we're talking about today is The Handmaiden,</span><br/><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-time>(04:07)</span>:<br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>and we have a guest joining us. She's a pal</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>of ours. She's a cyber security engineer. It's so young</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>chan Hi. Hello, welcome, Thank you for having me, thanks</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>for being here, for being here. So we're interested in</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>what is your relationship, your history, your general impression of</span><br/><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-time>(04:30)</span>:<br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>The Handmaiden. Um. Yeah, I thought it was pretty wild</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>from start to finish. Um. These types of movies don't</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>don't really come out that much from South Korea because</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>Korea is a pretty conservative country still, so this was</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>a big shock when it came out featuring two lesbian</span><br/><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-time>(04:51)</span>:<br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>women and that that never that never happens. But I</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>thought it was overall really really good, really new and</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>groundbreaking for Korea. So that's what I thought. It was</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>pretty cool. Yeah. Oh, I can't wait to talk about</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>it more. Jamie, what about you. I hadn't seen this</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>movie yet, and it rocked my world. I really like</span><br/><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-time>(05:16)</span>:<br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>movies that really keep you on your toes like this</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>where I guess if you haven't seen this movie, I</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>would recommend honestly watching it because listening to us, like</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>some movies, I feel fine spoiling for our listeners, but</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>this movie. I'm so glad I didn't know any of</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>the twists going in, because sometimes I'll go into a</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>movie being like I've seen I've seen it all, and</span><br/><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-time>(05:37)</span>:<br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>then it turns out, guess what. I like half of</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>my notes from the first half of the movie, I</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>had to like highlight being like just kidding, I am,</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>I am the fool, Like they got my ass. It's</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>so tightly written, and I just, yeah, this was my</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>my first time. I've seen it twice. I feel like</span><br/><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-time>(05:59)</span>:<br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>this is a movie that really delivers on a rewatch</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>and I just really enjoyed it. Holy holy shit. I</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>am just not as smart as this movie. I'm not</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>operating on this level. And it was a pleasure to</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>be in a world where I was like, oh, yeah,</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>I would have Um, I don't know what would have</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>happened to be if I existed in this world. I</span><br/><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-time>(06:20)</span>:<br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>would have I would have just died because everyone is</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>operating like everyone's playing four D h S the entire movie.</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>It's wonderful. Yeah, Caitlyn, what's your history of this movie? O?</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>G whiz. I saw it not right when it came out,</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>but I remember there being buzz around it because it</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>was released in the US sometime I think in the</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>back half of and then it won the Oscar for</span><br/><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-time>(06:45)</span>:<br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>Best Movie not in the English language. Yeah, for like</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>the Oscars. So I was like, oh, all right, got</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>to see it. Exciting. So I was still getting Netflix</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>devids at the time, so I took it upon myself</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>to borrow rent or whatever have Netflix send me a DVD.</span><br/><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-time>(07:05)</span>:<br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>And I don't normally do this, but I watched the</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>movie and then as soon as it was over, I</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>immediately watched it again because I was like, WHOA, holy shit.</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>I don't even want to process that. I just want</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>to like rewatch it and just have a better understanding</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>of what happened, because, like you said, there's so many twists,</span><br/><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-time>(07:26)</span>:<br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>there's so many layers there's and so I've seen the</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>movie I think like six or seven times now, and</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>every time I watch it, I discover something new or</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>like notice like a new little clue, or like a</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>bit of foreshadowing or some like plant and payoff, or</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>just like some detail that I had overlooked before. So yeah,</span><br/><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-time>(07:49)</span>:<br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>it definitely holds up on a rewatch. The twists are</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>so intricate that or like some of the reveals are</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>just like I won't remember what happened, so like, every</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>time rewatch it, it's like I'm seeing it for the</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>first time. So I'm just like, whoa, And it's it's</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>beautiful to look at. It's mesmerizing. Yeah, the story is</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>so tightly written. I love this movie so and the</span><br/><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-time>(08:14)</span>:<br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>history behind the movie is also really interesting. I didn't</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>know about like all the adaptation stuff going on in</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>this movie, so I'm very excited to talk about it. Yeah.</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>I also, in preparation for this episode, watched the BBC</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>like two episode mini series Fingersmith. She's okay, yes, well,</span><br/><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-time>(08:36)</span>:<br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>then I was also like, Sally Hawkins is in this.</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>Paddington's mom is in this. Obviously I have to watch it.</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>See I always think of Sally Hawkins. I'm about to</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>sound like I hate women. I'm like, she's the lady</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>who had sex with the fish in the movie. I</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>know that lady, but that was reductive and I apologize,</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>but she did have sex with a fish. I mean,</span><br/><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-time>(08:57)</span>:<br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>you're not wrong, I'm not, but I should remember the</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>character's name. I just know it was Sally Hawkins. Well,</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>she's definitely Mrs Brown in the Paddington franchise, so I</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>did watch Fingersmith, and um, do you like it? I</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>did it, So just some context for anyone who's um</span><br/><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-time>(09:20)</span>:<br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>not aware. This movie is based on a novel called</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>Fingersmith by Sarah Waters that was published in two two</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>I think so obviously we did not read the book</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>because we famously on this podcast do not read books.</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>It probably won't to stop people from getting mad at</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>us for not reading a book, but listen, the show</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>is free. I don't know what to tell you, but</span><br/><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-time>(09:43)</span>:<br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>I did watch this adaptation and probably like the second</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>half of Fingersmith is pretty wildly different from the second</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>half of The Handmaiden, where I like the ending of</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>the hand Made In way better. And I don't know</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>if that's just because like I saw it first and</span><br/><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-time>(10:04)</span>:<br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>my brain just works that way, where I'm like, well,</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>the first thing I saw is the thing that I</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>like better because it happens all the time with me.</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>But uh, I don't know. I feel that it gives</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>the characters more agency. Yeah, I I like the handmade</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>in better. I like the narrative choices that were made there.</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>So yeah, it's a It's the rare movie where I</span><br/><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-time>(10:25)</span>:<br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>feel like we're constantly complaining about how movies are. Movies</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>are long, but this movie is two and a half</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>hours long, and it does not feel two and a</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>half hours long, which is incredible a miracle. Yeah, should</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>I get into the recap? Yeah, yeah, let's let's do it.</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>And so I feel free to jump in at any time.</span><br/><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-time>(10:47)</span>:<br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>It's a free for all. Absolutely, thank you. Okay. So</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>the story takes place in Japanese occupied Korea, so both</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>Korean and Japan These are spoken by almost every major</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>character throughout the movie. I believe we are in the thirties,</span><br/><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-time>(11:08)</span>:<br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>although the decade wasn't super clear, but I read in</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>interviews that, yeah, it's supposed to be the thirties. Okay. Cool.</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>The story is divided into three parts. Part one, we</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>meet Suki, a pickpocket, a forger. She's like a common thief.</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>We also meet a Korean man from a low class</span><br/><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-time>(11:31)</span>:<br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>who is masquerading as a Japanese nobleman. He's going by</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>the name Count Fujiwara. I kept calling him Count all</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>off in my head because anytime someone introduces themselves as account,</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>I was like, okay, all counts are con men. This</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>is a trend in media. All accounts are lying about</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>being a count and they're where they're always wearing a</span><br/><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-time>(11:52)</span>:<br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>hat and um lying, that's my knowledge accounts and I</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>think that's canon. Yeah, this Ivan does this count challenge</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>that he does not, it's true. So he helps Suki</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>get a job as a handmaiden to Lady Hitigo, and</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>he does this because he intends to seduce Lady Hitiko,</span><br/><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-time>(12:16)</span>:<br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>marry her, put her in like quote, a madhouse so</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>that he can steal her fortune, and he needs Suki's</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>help to do all this. So Suki, using a fake name,</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>meets Lady Hideko and starts tending to her. She spends</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>most of her days helping her uncle Kazuki with his</span><br/><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-time>(12:39)</span>:<br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>rare books, which he collects and sells, and then he</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>also hosts private events where Hitiko does readings from the</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>books for rich Japanese gentleman rights. And the meaning of</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>rare books is really stretched and challenged later in Yes,</span><br/><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-time>(12:59)</span>:<br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>her uncle is It becomes apparent pretty early on, and</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>then even more apparent later on that he is extremely</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>creepy and he's also trying to marry how to go</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>to get access to her fortune also something that count</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>all offs trying to do all the time, just a</span><br/><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-time>(13:19)</span>:<br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>lot of count connections here? Oh my god? Right, counts</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>are always trying to marry people under false pretenses to</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>get access to a fortune. I need to write a</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>think piece about this. Doesn't count all off pretend to</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>be those children's uncle too, or some family member. He</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>pretends to be a distant relative in order to adopt them.</span><br/><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-time>(13:43)</span>:<br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>I mean, I didn't, I didn't even put that together.</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>If anyone ever introduces them as a count, walk away,</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>they're lying. What's the story of the count of Money</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>Monte Crystal? Oh? I know I saw that movie, but</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>no idea. I feel like there's some deception involved there</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>as well. Is okay, this is not the Count of</span><br/><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-time>(14:08)</span>:<br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>Monte Cristo. Is that related to the sandwich? Or is</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>the sandwich a separate thing? Monte Cristo sandwich? Is Monte</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>Cristo a place? Um? I think they're also. I was</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>just born this morning. I think they're all extremely not</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>only connected, but identical. What is even in a Monte</span><br/><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-time>(14:31)</span>:<br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>Cristo sandwich? You know what I'm that's one where they</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>like there's ham and there's cheese, and you're like panini</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>it and then there's like powdered sugar on top. There's</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>always such a scam. When someone makes a very simple</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>sandwich sounds extremely fancy and they're like, it's it's like</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>Monte Cristo at seventeen dollars, and then you get it.</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>You're like, this is ham and cheese. How dare you anyway?</span><br/><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-time>(14:57)</span>:<br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>Speaking of the Count, yes, he gets to work on</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>seducing Lady Hideko under the guise of giving her painting lessons. Meanwhile,</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>Suki and Heideko are getting closer and they are clearly</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>attracted to each other. And the further into the scam</span><br/><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-time>(15:18)</span>:<br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>Suki gets of like helping the fake Count Mary hidego,</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>the more Suki wants to back out, especially after one</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>night when Lady Hideko wants Suki to teach her how</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>to kiss so that she will be ready to kiss</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>the Count, and then they end up having very steamy sex.</span><br/><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-time>(15:41)</span>:<br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>Suki has no choice but to keep going along with</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>the scam, and the two of them run away. They</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>travel with the Count to Japan, the Count Mary's Hideko,</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>and then he and Suki take Hideko to be institutionalized.</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>But wait a minute, turns out it the Count and</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>Hiteko had been the ones who were tricking Suki and</span><br/><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-time>(16:04)</span>:<br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>they send Suki to the institution. I gasped right when</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>edeko uh. At first, I was like, what is going on?</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>Because she hugs Suki and then she walks backward really quickly,</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>and I was like, what is happening? And then it</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>was the twist. But wait, there's more. There's more. There's</span><br/><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-time>(16:25)</span>:<br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>two more parts. So this is the beginning of part two.</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>We learned what the real situation is with Lady Hiteko.</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>She's not this like virginal, naive lady that we all</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>thought she was. The books of her uncle's that she</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>does readings for our very pornographic something that he's been</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>training her to do ever since she was a child,</span><br/><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-time>(16:48)</span>:<br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>which is what disgusting. Yeah, and this is like, this</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>is something he's done with like other members of the family,</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>to like with her aunt as well. Yeah, it's a</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>whole thing. Yes, So when the Count first meets her,</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>he realizes that he would never be able to seduce her,</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>so then he forms a different plan, which is to</span><br/><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-time>(17:10)</span>:<br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>collaborate with her, take her away from this place and</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>set her free, and then they will split her fortune.</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>And then it's her idea to find a handmaiden and</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>send her to the institution under her name. So then</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>a lot of the same story beats play out that</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>we've seen before, but this time through hiokos point of view,</span><br/><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-time>(17:33)</span>:<br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>with like Suki arriving and tending to her and convincing</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>her that she's in love with the count. But then eventually,</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>because Hitiko and Suki are falling in love, Hiteko also</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>wants to back out of the plan right and then</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>finally the two of them reveal to each other that</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>they have been tricking each other. So seen is so</span><br/><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-time>(17:55)</span>:<br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>good but scary but good. Where Lady hit the I</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>goes about to take her own life. She's about to</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>hang herself, and then Suki catches her, and everyone watching</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>the scene has an anxiety attack of like, I hope</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>that she has strong arms, uh, and this whole scene</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>have it's It's really good. These two actors together are</span><br/><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-time>(18:19)</span>:<br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>incredible for sure. So now their new plan is to</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>team up with each other against Count Fujiwara, and then</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>right before they're about to run away, they also destroy</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>the Uncle's treasured book collection as basically a like fuck</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>you dude gesture, and then we realize that when Suki</span><br/><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-time>(18:42)</span>:<br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>is taken to the institution. It's all part of the plan.</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>So then part three is Suki escapes from the institution</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>by lighting it on fire. I was slightly confused about</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>the logistics, but by that point in the movie I</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>was like, Yeah, sure, she liked it on fire. I</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>believe it. Meanwhile, Hitiko drugs the Count, escapes and meets</span><br/><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-time>(19:06)</span>:<br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>up with Suki. They flee and get on a ferry</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>to Shanghai. And then the Count has been captured and</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>brought back to the uncle's estate where the uncle tortures him.</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>And then the Count smokes a couple of cigarettes laced</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>with mercury, which poisons the air and kills both the men,</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>and then we cut back to the ferry where Suki</span><br/><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-time>(19:27)</span>:<br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>and Hitiko have more steamy sex. And that's how the</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>movie ends. So let's take a quick break and then</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>we will come back to discuss. And we're back, where</span><br/><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-time>(19:48)</span>:<br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>do we Caitlin, I'm genuinely curious just to start, what</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>is different about the ending of the BBC adaptation, because</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>I know that the largest adaptation change is obviously changing</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>the setting and the I think the time period was</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>shifted as well. I think it's a Victorian England to</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>nineteen thirties Japan and Korea. But what what is different</span><br/><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-time>(20:12)</span>:<br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>about like the plot points of the ending. So yeah,</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>the first half plays out basically the same, but in</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>Fingersmith the two women never collaborate. They never say, oh,</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>you're tricking me, I was tricking you. Wow, Let's team</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>up together and take down these male oppressors. That does</span><br/><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-time>(20:32)</span>:<br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>not happen. Instead, the handmade in character ends up in</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>the institution and then stays there for a while, does</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>still escape. Meanwhile, the lady character like is taken to</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>London after this marriage, and she keeps trying to escape</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>and they're like, no, we still have to get your</span><br/><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-time>(20:53)</span>:<br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>fortune from you. Uh. So she eventually is able to</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>run away and goes to one of like the book</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>collectors that her uncle knows, but then he turns her away,</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>so she has to go back to the home base</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>of all the like the Thief House, basically in London, which,</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>by the way, the sort of like matron character is</span><br/><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-time>(21:16)</span>:<br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>played by Amelda Staunton, who is of course Aunt Lucy</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>from Paddington's Okay I'm with Yes, So there's a lot</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>of Paddington connections in Fingersmith. So and then that like</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>matriarch character is like, hey, royal lady person, by the way,</span><br/><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-time>(21:40)</span>:<br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>you were switched at birth with this handmaiden lady, and</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>so she's the actual lady, and you're I think maybe</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>I'm getting that totally wrong because things got also very</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>confusing at that part. The handmaiden is better. Yeah what</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>I'm hearing right, Yeah, So there's some like switched at</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>birth scandal can't introduce switched at birth at the end</span><br/><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-time>(22:04)</span>:<br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>this fourth grade. And then so the count guy who</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>they call whose name is like the gentleman in Fingersmith,</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>comes around at some point and gets murdered by unclear</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>which person it was. It was either like the lady</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>or the Amelda Stanton character, but Amelti Stans character takes</span><br/><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-time>(22:25)</span>:<br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>the blame for it, and then she is hanged. So</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>that sort of now that all these people are dead,</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>she goes back to her like estate with all the books,</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>and then Sally Hawk like the handmaid and character comes</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>back and they sort of like reconcile. So the huge</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>difference is that there's never a team up. There's never</span><br/><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-time>(22:45)</span>:<br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>like a co conspirator like let's take the men down</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>kind of thing. They just sort of like have to</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>forgive each other, and then there's some like class stuff</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>of like you're not who you think you are, and</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>it's also kind of confusing. So that's Fingersmith. It sounds interesting,</span><br/><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-time>(23:07)</span>:<br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>but long I like this better. Yeah, okay, well, thank you,</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>thank you for thank you for sharing that. I I</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>wasn't aware how how much the source material deviated from</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>this adaptation. Yeah, it's pretty significant. Or I mean again,</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>because we haven't read the book. Who who knows what</span><br/><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-time>(23:29)</span>:<br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>happens there? Who knows how much that BBC adapt adaptation</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>deviated from the original source material. But The Handmaiden is</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>pretty drastically different in the second half of it from</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>Fingersmith the BBC series, UM got it? Yeah, so yeah.</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>And because of that, one of the things I like</span><br/><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-time>(23:49)</span>:<br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>about this movie so much is that it's a story</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>about men trying to exploit women and pit women against</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>each other, which doesn't work because the women talk to</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>each other and then they're like, wait a minute, these</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>men are trying to suck us over, so they instead</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>team up and punish. They're like again the male oppressors,</span><br/><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-time>(24:15)</span>:<br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>and then they get together and they live happily ever after. God,</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>I hope so or at least happily on the ferry,</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>they at least have an amazing cruise. So as you</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>started to talk about So Young in terms of like</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>this being a pretty groundbreaking film for South Korean cinema,</span><br/><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-time>(24:38)</span>:<br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>in terms of it's like queer representation, Yeah, just curious</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>if you have any other thoughts on that or yeah,</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>because you know, queer representation, it's just it's not there's</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>not a lot in Korean media and stuff like that,</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>even in you know, songs and stuff, and while it's</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>still while it's changing and people are becoming a lot</span><br/><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-time>(24:59)</span>:<br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>more open to it, it's still not on the forefront</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>like it is in America or you know, other countries.</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>So this was a you know, this was a pretty</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>big deal for not even it's not even like two</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>gay men, because that would have been still more something</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>that you would see, but to two women that that</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>is unheard of. So this was, Yeah, this was pretty</span><br/><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-time>(25:21)</span>:<br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>groundbreaking in that way, and I appreciate it. I saw,</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>like I guess, mixed reception of of the sex scenes</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>and how they were filmed and framed, and I'm interested</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>to talk about that as well. But I did appreciate that, like,</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>this movie is not shy at all about what it's</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>about and about this like intense sexual connection that these</span><br/><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-time>(25:44)</span>:<br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>two women have, because I feel like we I mean,</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>even in covering other movies on this podcast, you know,</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>very often when there is a relationship between two women,</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>you get a fade to black situation or you you</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>don't get the sex scene that appears in many PG</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>thirteen movies between a man and a woman. And so</span><br/><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-time>(26:05)</span>:<br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>I was, yeah, pleasantly surprised to see. I was like, oh,</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>we're we're getting sex scenes. That's exciting. I'm very pro sex,</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>especially like and this would have been more common in</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>at least like older American movies. But I just remember</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>that episode that we did on Fried Green Tomatoes where</span><br/><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-time>(26:27)</span>:<br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>the source material like more explicitly makes it clear that</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>the characters are queer. But then the movie, because it's</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>like a movie from the nineties, not even suggests it.</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>It's just like they're friends. They're friends who don't kiss</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>each other like they're friends, and they lived together for</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>such a long time, which based on how you described,</span><br/><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-time>(26:53)</span>:<br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>like the history of queer representation in South Korean cinema</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>so young, you might expect there to be more of</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>a like coding of like that relationship. Even if like</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>the two characters like do team up and like screw</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>over the men, that the precedent was set, it sounds</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>like to not get very explicit about the nature of</span><br/><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-time>(27:14)</span>:<br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>their relationship. So the fact that we do it is</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>very explicit, and we do see steamy sex scenes, which</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>again we'll talk about. But yeah, I was like, I</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>thought that was I thought that was really cool because</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>I did a little bit of just kind of I'm</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>by no means an expert in Korean media and certainly</span><br/><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-time>(27:36)</span>:<br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>not in like queer representation of it. But there is</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>a very helpful Wikipedia, our favorite scholarly journal page specifically</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>about queer representation in Korean media and that how according</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>to two scholars pill Ho Kim and see Colin Singer,</span><br/><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-time>(27:58)</span>:<br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>there are three pretty distinct waves of queer representation in</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>Korean cinema. Where there's like an invisible age from nine</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>seven where there was like minimal, very minimal l g</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>B t Q plus representation in film. But those films</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>were like relegated to the sidelines, like they didn't get publicity,</span><br/><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-time>(28:18)</span>:<br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>they were not mainstream. Most people didn't see them. They</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>like flew under the radar, and then there was the</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>Camouflage age from two thousand four, where representation grew during</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>that period, but queer characters and themes were still sidelined</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>and overshadowed by more heteronormative characters and themes. And then</span><br/><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-time>(28:43)</span>:<br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>finally the blockbuster age from two five to the present,</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>where cultural acceptance of queer people in queer communities in</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>South Korea as well as queer representation in media has</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>just kind of like been on the rise and been</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>more tolerated and accepted. So which like doesn't sound that</span><br/><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-time>(29:04)</span>:<br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>unlike the trend of queer representation and American Hollywood cinema</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>to be honest. Yeah, it's just a little slower, a</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>little more behind, right. Another trip that I really liked</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>that this movie because we've we've been covering a number</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>of query movies recently, and I think it was in</span><br/><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-time>(29:27)</span>:<br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>our Portrait of a Lady on Fire episode where we</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>discussed the trope that it's also a very white trope ordinarily,</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>but when there is a period piece with a lesbian</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>couple that it's all very doomed, it's all very like it.</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>It never ends well for the couple. The couple never</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>is able to survive the adversity, which is in some</span><br/><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-time>(29:50)</span>:<br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>ways at odds with many historical examples, but that is</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>the trend that movies have taken. And so when I</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>when I learned this was a period piece, I was like, Oh, no,</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>are we going to get another you know, doomed queer</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>couple that and and we don't they win? Like they win,</span><br/><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-time>(30:10)</span>:<br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>and I mean it was I guess it does kind</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>of demonstrate how going for scraps we still have to</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>be at times. But I was like, they their their</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>love survives, they overcome the adversity. It's not like, you know,</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>an ending where they're just like, I wonder what could</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>have been, Like they're on the damn boat having sex.</span><br/><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-time>(30:32)</span>:<br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>I was thrilled that that they ended up together at</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>the end, And because it's yeah, and in period pieces especially,</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>I feel like that is kind of rare. Yeah, I</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>think it legit shocked me given the historical context of</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>the of the movie, because you know, during that time,</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>it was like a lot of people died, so it</span><br/><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-time>(30:53)</span>:<br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>wouldn't it wouldn't have been strange to kind of see</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>that ending with the fact that it was a happy ending.</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>I mean, that was that was amazing. I was like, absolutely,</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>I'm here for it. Yeah. In the Catharsis of like</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>the two men dying, cut to two women just like</span><br/><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-time>(31:13)</span>:<br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>putting jingle bells in there for joying and having a ball.</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>I guess that's one literally no pun intended having a ball,</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>and oh god, the that. There were moments where I like,</span><br/><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-time>(31:36)</span>:<br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>this movie is just straight up smarter than me in</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>certain ways where I was like, oh, yeah, like I</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>know that the bell. I was like, the bell is</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>a metaphorical object. I can pick up on that much.</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>And so when they're fucking each other with the bells,</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>I'm like, this means something. I don't know what, but</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>definitely something. It's a metaphorical thing. And I and and sure,</span><br/><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-time>(31:57)</span>:<br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>and I totally understand. Yeah, I don't know what the</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>bells are a metaphor for, but I feel like I</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>don't need to know. I don't know. I every time</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>I'm just like, it's a metaphor for dot dot patriarchy.</span><br/><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-time>(32:18)</span>:<br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>I don't actually really know. Uh. I think the bells</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>they were in um one of the books that the</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>lady she read. I think they're just kind of like, oh,</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>I'm going to reclaim it. You know, it's not part</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>of this weird, creepy whatever thing that I'm doing from</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>my uncle. It's like our love things. That's what I thought.</span><br/><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-time>(32:40)</span>:<br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>I don't know, because it's like uses their uses a</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>weapon at one point, and okay, maybe I do understand. Oh,</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>but those are a different set of metal balls that</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>are used, like Okay, then I'm lost again. Yeah, I</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>think that was stove, that was right. The bells Okay, no,</span><br/><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-time>(33:02)</span>:<br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>they look similar, but no, but you're right, so young</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>where she was, because it's this difference of she's being</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>forced against her will to read these stories solely for</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>the sake of the pleasure of all of these men,</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>and then when we actually see her use those toys, materials,</span><br/><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-time>(33:26)</span>:<br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>the items, the bells, the bells, now, it's like they're</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>on her terms and she's not doing it for these</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>creepy men. She's doing it for herself. So it's like</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>a nice, just symbolic thing. I also noticed in that</span><br/><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-time>(33:50)</span>:<br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>scene when she's reading about because that's the only scene</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>I think where she's doing a reading from one of</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>those books that does involve two women, and we see</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>her like pat her little handkerchief, like pat down her</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>like perspiration, as if to say, Wow, that actually got</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>me excited because of all the other the other scenes</span><br/><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-time>(34:12)</span>:<br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>where she's doing readings about like a penis going into</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>a vagina, She's just like not interested, do not care,</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>and a penis going into a vagina in a pretty</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>a pretty mean way most of the time, like that</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>they're they're not they're very unpleasant stories that all these</span><br/><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-time>(34:32)</span>:<br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>guys are getting extremely aroused by. It's all like, I mean,</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>I guess that that is like so much of what</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>comes up in the movie is like the the men</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>of this story policing and controlling the women in their</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>lives and controlling their bodies sexually, controlling their bodies in</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>terms of like Lady Hideko is literally like trapped in</span><br/><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-time>(34:55)</span>:<br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>this castle kind of Princess Peach style, and it's it's</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>like about the extreme control of women's bodies and and</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>an attempt to control their minds which doesn't succeed. But yeah,</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>I don't know, I mean, it's it's so And and</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>then also in the case of the uncle, this really</span><br/><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-time>(35:17)</span>:<br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>volatile nature of like repeated intimidation of his wife who</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>eventually takes her own life, and and his niece. No</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>he it's implied that he kills her, but but it's</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>played off as though she killed herself. But in any case,</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>like it repeatedly like instilling them with fear and threats,</span><br/><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-time>(35:38)</span>:<br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>and then when they respond to that, they're framed as</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>hysterical in this very I mean, I guess you're like, well,</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>it's theties, of course that is happening. But um, it</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>was interesting seeing it framed the way it was, where</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>it was like even with that deception that they're like, oh,</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>she she took her own life, you know, because she</span><br/><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-time>(36:00)</span>:<br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>you know, she was suffering from something that we don't</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>really know what was going on, when it's like so</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>clear what is going on in this house where women</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>are just brutalized and if I don't know, I mean</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>it's it's it's really brutal in some um in some</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>sections of this movie, to the point where you know,</span><br/><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-time>(36:21)</span>:<br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>when the when the count and the uncle kind of</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>get their come up into at the end, you're like,</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>thank god, Uh yeah, especially with the reveal that the</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>uncle has been basically grooming her since childhood to read</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>this like erotic literature, that's straight up child sex abuse.</span><br/><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-time>(36:42)</span>:<br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>And so when he keels over and dies, I was like,</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>it's about damned time. Um, let's take another quick break</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>and then we will be right back, and we're back.</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>We we've referenced this already. But so Fingersmith was the</span><br/><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-time>(37:07)</span>:<br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>inspiration for this story. It sounds like it deviates kind</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>of significantly in the back half. But um, I was,</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>you know, pleasantly surprised, knowing nothing about the background of</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>this movie, to find that it had been adapted by</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>a text by a queer woman, by a Welsh author</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>named Sarah Waters, who wrote this in two thousand two.</span><br/><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-time>(37:29)</span>:<br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>And I thought that just I don't know all the</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>information on adapting this movie and adapting that story to</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>Japan and Korea in this time period. I I learned</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>a lot, having h having gotten you know, a piss</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>poor American education that this same this period of history</span><br/><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-time>(37:49)</span>:<br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>in Korea and Japan. I was not well versed in.</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>I knew kind of the main bullet points, but learning</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>more about the annexation of Korea and just the complete culture,</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>erasure and colonialism that was going on at this time</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>was not something that I was very well versed in.</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>And it doesn't sound like it was something that Sarah Waters,</span><br/><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-time>(38:11)</span>:<br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>a Welsh author, was very well first in as well,</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>and so there will link this in the description. But</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>it's just a very interesting adaptation story. Where Sarah Waters</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>was at first, um not sure whether Park Chun Wook,</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>who is the director of this movie and many other movies.</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>He's kind of has a reputation for being a hyper</span><br/><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-time>(38:33)</span>:<br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>masculine director, like he directs pretty like he directed Old Boy.</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>He directed all these like really male driven movies, and</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>so at first she was like, I don't does this</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>make sense. Once they like discussed collaborating and hester and</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>and he also wrote this script with female co writer</span><br/><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-time>(38:55)</span>:<br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>Chung I hope that I'm getting right Chung cho kieong um,</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>who he's worked with a number of times over the years.</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>So he had he had a female co writer and</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>they proposed this time shift, and that was what got</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>Sarah Waters on board. So I just I don't know,</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>it's it's it's a really cool story of and I</span><br/><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-time>(39:17)</span>:<br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>feel like this time period in the setting like fit</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>the stories so effortlessly and also kind of I mean,</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>based on what you're saying about the BBC adaptation, Caitlin,</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>sounds like it sort of expands the scope of what</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>the story is able to explore because it's you know,</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>not only is it examining class in a lot of ways,</span><br/><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-time>(39:38)</span>:<br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>and it's like examining queerness and it's examining patriarchy, but</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>it's also touching on this you know, extreme period of</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>colonialism and really aggressive cultural erasure in a way. It</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>sounds like the source material didn't because of where, where</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>and when it was set. So um, yeah, yeah, it's</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>just a really interesting story. Yeah. Like I was like,</span><br/><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-time>(40:00)</span>:<br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>turns out I know nothing about this period of history.</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>Let me read the Wikipedia page. And it's just like</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>in the US, we're just like not taught about this</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>period of time at all. Yeah, so, uh, this movie</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>inspired me to like learn about it. So I did</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>read the first several paragraphs of the Wikipedia page about it. Well,</span><br/><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-time>(40:22)</span>:<br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>we'll link to some resources in uh in the description</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>as well, if you like us got a very limited</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>shitty education the United States. Yeah, I just wanted to add, like,</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>I think one of the interesting things is, like, so</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>the brutality of the men, right, the men were pretty</span><br/><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-time>(40:43)</span>:<br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>terrible and they did pretty terrible things. But during this time,</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>you know, there was a lot of anti Japanese sentiment</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>obviously because of what was happening and I thought it</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>was really interesting because these two men are very pro Japanese, right,</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>they want, you know, doing all these things, but they're Korean,</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>and so it kind of showed the whole, you know,</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>in my personal opinion, it showed a whole like all</span><br/><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-time>(41:05)</span>:<br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>the Koreans who kind of portrayed, you know, our country</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>in a sense, we're worse than the Japanese people who</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>invaded our country. So I did find that that's a</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>very interesting framing of that from pac John because you know,</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>during this time it was such a you know, was</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>obviously about time, but kind of that shine through the</span><br/><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-time>(41:26)</span>:<br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>very you know, don't be this type of person during</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>this horrible time in which you know, this thing's happened.</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>So yeah, yeah, totally. Yeah. There there's like that whole</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>conversation they have where it's like a reveal later in</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>the movie that the uncle has done the same thing</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>that the Count is in the middle of doing, which</span><br/><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-time>(41:47)</span>:<br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>is yeah, you know, saying their their Japanese when they</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>are not and being generally villainous. And but there's like</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>that whole conversation they have where the uncle is talking</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>about how he that Korea is ugly and Japan is beautiful,</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>and the Count says, oh, you know, that's interesting. I've</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>heard people say the exact opposite, and it's like the</span><br/><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-time>(42:10)</span>:<br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>I don't know, I mean, and again I'm I'm not</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>extremely educated in this period of history at all, but</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>just even opening this story to make room for discussion</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>about that, and it does seem like Park chinook Is</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>is making kind of a value judgment of of these</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>characters through their behavior outside of of the colonial history.</span><br/><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-time>(42:34)</span>:<br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>It's it's it's it's you know, I never want to</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>see someone's fingers chopped off by like a paper cutter. Uh.</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>I guess that's the end of the sentence. But you know,</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>it's like if it had to happen to someone, I'm like,</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>the Count is terrible, and and as the as the</span><br/><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-time>(42:54)</span>:<br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>story goes on, you just realize more more angles from</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>which he is terrible, and so when they take his</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>fingers off with a paper cutter, it's like, you know, yeah, okay, fine, fine,</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>I'll allow it. Yeah no, Uh, both the Count and</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>the uncle got what they deserved as far as I'm concerned,</span><br/><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-time>(43:16)</span>:<br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>because you know, they're both abusers, their manipulators. I mean,</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>we see a scene where the Count tries to sexually</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>assault Hittigo. These are awful, awful men, and so I</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>appreciate that we see toxic male behavior being punished because</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>they end up dying because the women were very clever</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>in their like orchestration of this scheme to get back</span><br/><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-time>(43:41)</span>:<br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>at them. And I thought that was really cool to see.</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>You often don't see toxic male behavior punished in movies.</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>So yeah, I just appreciated that a lot. And it</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>does seem like they really I mean, both of those</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>characters are leve viridging the most dominant advantage they have,</span><br/><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-time>(44:03)</span>:<br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>which is the fact that they're men. And it is</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>I feel like any you know, any empathy you could</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>generate for these characters, who are to an extent in</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>a really difficult situation as Korean men at this time</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>of intense colonialism, is completely undercut by the fact that</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>they're taking it out on the women around them, the</span><br/><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-time>(44:25)</span>:<br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>people who have less power than them, and elevating themselves</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>at the expense of the people who have less power.</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>And there's there were some like interesting moments I found</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>interesting with account where he says these things that sound</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>so cutting and cruel, but you can sort of understand</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>why he's saying them, even if you don't agree with it.</span><br/><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-time>(44:46)</span>:<br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>Where he's saying, you know, where I come from, it's</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>illegal to be naive, and sort of referencing the fact</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>that he's from the underclass and he's from he's Korean,</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>he's from a really oppressed group of people at this time,</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>and so you can understand why he would say that.</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>But what he's talking about is deceiving a Korean woman</span><br/><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-time>(45:09)</span>:<br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>and throwing her in jail essentially, and it's yeah, yeah,</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>it's almost like blaming her and it's like you shouldn't</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>have trusted anybody. Yeah, ever, right, Yeah, it's it's all</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>very fascinating and the yeah, the way that these really</span><br/><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-time>(45:31)</span>:<br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>terrible men in the movie are punished for their like</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>upholding of the patriarchy is very exciting to watch in</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>a way that doesn't really I mean, it kind of</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>happens in Fingersmiths, but like, again, the major change that</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>I really appreciate is the two women like realizing that</span><br/><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-time>(45:54)</span>:<br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>they're in love with the other. That kind of prompts</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>them to admit what's going on. Then they're like, yeah,</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>I'm upset that you tricked me, but also I was</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>tricking you, so I can't be that upset. But now</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>that we know what the real situation is, let's team up.</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>And now there's a third trickery happening against the count.</span><br/><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-time>(46:20)</span>:<br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>So I love a movie with tricks. It's exciting. Um,</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>should we talk a little bit more about the sex</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>scenes slash the mail Gaze. Yeah, let's get into where So,</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>like we mentioned, there have been mixed reviews about this</span><br/><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-time>(46:42)</span>:<br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>where some of the discussion around this film was how</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>the movie deconstructs or transcends the mail gaze. I think</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>more based on the events of the story and how</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>like these women team up and collaborate and take down</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>the men, rather than the sex scenes themselves. Because other</span><br/><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-time>(47:04)</span>:<br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>critics have been like, um, well, it is a movie</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>about lesbians with some graphic sex scenes that were shot</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>by a director and cinematographer who are both men, and</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>the sex scenes are really long and and quite graphic,</span><br/><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-time>(47:27)</span>:<br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>and you know, there's still male gaze involved because of</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>the people who are capturing this imagery and delivering it</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>to an audience. And then other people were like, but</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>what about the part of the movie where there's like</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>a shot from the point of view of Heidako's volva,</span><br/><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-time>(47:50)</span>:<br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>where like we just see Suki like leaning in with</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>her tongue out about she had a goal pro on</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>her LA is essentially the shot, and so it's like, well,</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>how could that be the male gaze when it's literally</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>from the point of view of a vagina. And then</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>so there's you know, there's a lot of sides to</span><br/><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-time>(48:11)</span>:<br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>this argument. I'm curious how the both of you feel</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>about this. I think, Okay, look, I think the sex</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>scenes were over the top. That's just my personal opinion.</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>I think it was a lot and very graphic and</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>almost like unnecessarily graphic, honestly, And I do agree. It's</span><br/><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-time>(48:32)</span>:<br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>a male director, it's a male cinematographer, so there is</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>a male gaze there especially. I don't know the director obviously,</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>but just kind of like how much do they really</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>know about how the sex scene should go, you know,</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>and like in other lgbt Q movies. So I'll say, yeah,</span><br/><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-time>(48:53)</span>:<br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>that's like my main criticism it is it's a lot.</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>It's definitely almost too much. And I think if you</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>didn't have it that graphic or whatever, it wouldn't have</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>taken away from the story whatsoever. So I think, yeah,</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>I think it was a little too much. I wasn't sure.</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>I mean I was interested to read through all the</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>different takes, and it's like, you know, if if you</span><br/><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-time>(49:14)</span>:<br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>loved the sex scene, that's great. I didn't. I mean,</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>I liked that there was a sex scene there. I</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>didn't have any issue with that because I feel like,</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>you know, very often, like we're talking about earlier, when</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>there's a lesbian relationship, it's all very like Wink wink</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>fade to black in mainstream movies, but the scenes are</span><br/><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-time>(49:36)</span>:<br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>very long. They're extremely long. The go pro shot through me. Uh,</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>he also get the same sex scene twice from like</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>two different points of view. I guess yeah. I mean,</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>knowing that it was directed and filmed by men, I</span><br/><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-time>(49:56)</span>:<br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>feel like kind of tells you what you need to know.</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>And I was also interested in This came from a</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>Guardian profile of Sarah Waters, who wrote Fingersmith at the</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>time The Handmaiden came out and kind of like clarified.</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>I was like, what is so essentially what it says</span><br/><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-time>(50:17)</span>:<br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>is in in the book, which we're not going to read,</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>but in in the book, I guess, uh, you know,</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>Sarah Waters very often writes lesbian romances in her work,</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>but a lot of what she's known for is just</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>talking about women's bodies very frankly, in a way that</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>like incorporates things like sweat and like pubic hair and</span><br/><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-time>(50:42)</span>:<br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>just things that are kind of a glossed over and</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>a lot of big movie sex scenes and present this</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>very idealized version of what lesbian sex looks like. And</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>I and that is like made clear in the story too,</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>where you know, like when Lady high Deco is reading this,</span><br/><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-time>(51:03)</span>:<br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>you know, pornographic literature, they're referencing the vagina repeatedly as</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>like hairless, smooth, like this mythic thing that those who</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>have vaginas are, Like, okay, sure, like it's somehow like</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>pearly white, made of jade, the jade gates, you know,</span><br/><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-time>(51:25)</span>:<br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>and they're like folds of like gore. You're like, okay,</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>but sparkles and shimmers and but there's also other stuff</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>going on. Um. And it seems like her work was</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>kind of known for just like talking about bodies in</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>that way that was like very sexual, but also about</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>actual bodies and not this like mythic view of what</span><br/><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-time>(51:48)</span>:<br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>bodies are. And I felt like the sex scenes in</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>this movie didn't really meet that where it's still felt</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>even though the other side of that came across clearly</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>that it's like listening to her half to talk about</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>this really unrealistic view of what a vagina looks like</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>day after day is clearly wearing on her and is</span><br/><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-time>(52:09)</span>:<br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>ridiculous and male gazy. The sex scenms, I feel like,</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>didn't really challenge that enough. I don't know, I don't know.</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>My personal opinion is that they were they were long. Yeah,</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>I'm like of two minds about it, where I think</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>it's cool that we do get more of a foray</span><br/><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-time>(52:33)</span>:<br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>into lesbian sex than you tend to see in mainstream movies,</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>just because of like our heteronormative society and so much</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>phobia around queer sex. There's just been a tendency to</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>shy away from it, or skirt around it, or just</span><br/><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-time>(52:55)</span>:<br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>not feature it, especially because when it's lesbian sex there</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>is double the focus on female pleasure, which is something</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>that even in hetero sex scenes and just again culture</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>at large, the idea of female pleasure is terrifying to</span><br/><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-time>(53:17)</span>:<br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>a large chunk of the population. So further to be,</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>this emphasis on female pleasure in the sex scenes is</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>cool and exciting, but the sex scenes linger on for</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>longer than we need, and ultimately they are by the</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>very nature of who is making this film shot through</span><br/><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-time>(53:41)</span>:<br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>the male gaze and interpreted through the male gaze, and</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>even sort of the way in which the like the</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>blocking of the sex scenes feels it's a lot. It's</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>it's just knowing there is a man on the other</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>side of the go pro it feels it's like, it</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>feels fetishy, the way some straight men are like, oh yeah,</span><br/><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-time>(54:05)</span>:<br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>getting it on, that's so hot. I agree, And I</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>feel like that is like another thing that it seems like,</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>I mean, just based on doing basic research on this</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>production team that Park Chinook very often collaborates with the</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>same group of people, and this is a cinematographer he</span><br/><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-time>(54:25)</span>:<br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>works with a lot. But it's like if again, it's</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>like when we talk about this with male directors all</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>the time, of like, if you are dead set on</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>adapting this story, then you need to be flexible in</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>who you're working with, and you need to like really</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>make sure you have people in the room who will</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>just be able to speak to the experience, because otherwise</span><br/><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-time>(54:48)</span>:<br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>there's going to be stuff that feels dissonant. I did</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>read an interview with the director in which he addresses</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>these sex scenes, and it seems like his general intention</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>was that he understood how like delicate of a thing</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>this would be to shoot, and he wanted to be</span><br/><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-time>(55:10)</span>:<br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>as considerate and respectful to the actors as possible, because</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>that's always something we're like, Okay, these actors have to</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>be naked in front of a bunch of people, they</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>have to be physically close with another actor simulating sex,</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>and depending on different factors, this has the potential to</span><br/><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-time>(55:31)</span>:<br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>be very uncomfortable for actors. So I found this interview</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>in which he it seems like, you know, he he</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>did his very best, although some of the answers are</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>funny where he's like, that day, we hired a woman</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>to be the boom operator for that day on set,</span><br/><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-time>(55:51)</span>:<br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>and it's like, well, is that the only circumstances where</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>you would hire a woman to be or boom operate?</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>But it seems like he was like fully aware of</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>the situation. He wanted to make everyone as comfortable as possible.</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>So there was like very minimal crew on set for</span><br/><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-time>(56:13)</span>:<br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>those scenes. The DP and the camera operator were not</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>on set that they were using like a remote controlled camera.</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>I hope there's like an intimacy coordinator or something of</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>that nature. Yeah, I'm glad you brought that up, because</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>so if any listeners are not aware, if a movie</span><br/><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-time>(56:37)</span>:<br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>or TV production has a sex scene, ideally they will</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>hire what's called an intimacy coordinator, who is there to</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>advocate for the well being and safety of the actors</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>who participate in sex scenes or just like kind of</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>any other physically intimate scenes. Again, ideally a set will</span><br/><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-time>(57:00)</span>:<br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>of this person, but that's not always the case. And</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>as far as whether or not an intimacy coordinator was</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>present on this set, that did not get spoken of,</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>So I I am not sure. I really hope. So,</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>oh my god, if you're that naked, please have a</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>person who is your advocate there, that is I hope</span><br/><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-time>(57:22)</span>:<br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>he he just forgot to mention that person. Yeah, that</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>did not come up in the interview, but at least</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>it sounds like he made an effort. I didn't find</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>anything on how the actors felt about those scenes, about</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>you know, whether they were comfortable. I hope so. But yeah,</span><br/><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-time>(57:45)</span>:<br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>it's also sort of like, okay, if you have to</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>take so many leaps and bounds to make the shooting</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>of this safe for the actors. It's also a question</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>of like, Okay, do I like, does this absolutely you</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>need to happen this way? Or I feel like they're</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>I mean, in the erotic thriller genre in general, I</span><br/><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-time>(58:08)</span>:<br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>feel like sometimes it's like, I don't know, I'm generally</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>showing up for the thriller elements, and then if people</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>are fucking amazing, that's great, but that's not like what</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>what I'm like, what the bulk of the movie is. Um,</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>But yeah, I feel like that those seeds were like, Okay,</span><br/><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-time>(58:29)</span>:<br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>this is an erotic thriller, get it, especially because like,</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>I'm also interested on your both of your thoughts on</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>this as well. But to me, there's far more of</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>an emphasis in the movie on their sexual connection and</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>like their physical attraction than there is on like an</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>actual like what do they have in common? Why do</span><br/><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-time>(58:51)</span>:<br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>they like each other? I didn't get a big sense</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>of that. But also maybe I'm forgetting some stuff. I</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>do think. Yeah, I think there's more emphasis on the</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>sexual parts. I think with the emotional like aspect of it.</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>The part that sticks out to me is like the</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>time when they're when Suki is destroying all the books</span><br/><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-time>(59:13)</span>:<br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>and the paintings and whatnot, and she's like so angry</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>because she understands, you know, what has been happening. She</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>destroys everything, and the Lady Jadeko is just you know,</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>standing there, just like not fully sure on what to do.</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>She's just like, what is happening? I don't know. I</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>feel like that, Like on an emotional level, was like</span><br/><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-time>(59:34)</span>:<br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>I don't know. I felt that. I was like, oh,</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>that's really sweet because you know, they're kind of their</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>worlds are colliding in this moment where it's like she</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>kind of like is thinking, oh, I thought you were</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>this rich girl who doesn't really understand anything, but it's like, no,</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>you're you're victimized the way I'm victimized, just in different aspects,</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>you know. So I feel like that's kind of how</span><br/><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-time>(59:54)</span>:<br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>the world is collided in that sense. That's what That's</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>what I saw. That's the scene I remember. Yeah, I</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>felt a similar way where it's you know, I guess</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>that you learn more about their emotional connection in the</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>back half, where like part one definitely doesn't give you</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>everything you need, but also part one gives you a</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>completely false impression of who Lady Hideko is. Like I</span><br/><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-time>(01:00:19)</span>:<br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>feel like if we were just like all my notes</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>from part one was like, oh my gosh, like Lady</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>Hideko is on this like born sexy Yesterday thing going on,</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>and she's just like, I don't what is sex. I've</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>never heard of that, and you know, and and in</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>a way that I thought like the movie had fun</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>with later where they kind of poke fun at Suki</span><br/><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-time>(01:00:39)</span>:<br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>for being like, wow, this must just you must have</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>incredible instincts for being like, yeah, you're natural. That made</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>me laugh. Uh, But I I thought that, I mean,</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>I don't know, I felt like any relationship where they</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>just surprised each other and like, I don't know, I'm</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>I'm always like kind of a sucker for relationships like that,</span><br/><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-time>(01:01:02)</span>:<br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>and it is like, you know, kind of like definitely</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>a class story we've seen before. Let's say Titan Titan perhaps,</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>but where where you know, it's it's like they have</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>very rigid ideas of who this person is going to</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>be and they end up getting surprised by that person</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>having a lot more to them than they expected. So</span><br/><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-time>(01:01:26)</span>:<br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>I was on board for the love story. I I</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>got why they were drawn to each other as people,</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>and I think, you know, we definitely could have spent</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>more time with it um and with with them as</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>that relationship was building, but especially those like longer scenes</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>in part one when you reflect on them and you're like, oh,</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>like lady Hideko is playing four D chess and she</span><br/><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-time>(01:01:49)</span>:<br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>knows exactly what's going on, and even still she's like</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>falling for Suki. I don't know. I was on board</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>for the romance. I thought it was I thought it</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>was like a classic you know, star cross levers across</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>classes kind of thing. Sure, you just contrived in itself,</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>but like, I think we could have shortened those sex</span><br/><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-time>(01:02:12)</span>:<br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>scenes and given us like one or two more signifiers</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>of just like, oh, yeah, here's what they bond over,</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>here's the thing that they both like, or here's a</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>little thing that they have in common, because I don't</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>really I still don't have the strongest sense of that.</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>And it's one thing, you know, if a movie wants</span><br/><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-time>(01:02:33)</span>:<br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>to present this connection just as a sexual connection, like</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>obviously not every connection between people needs to be this deep, intimate,</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>long lasting love, but I feel like the movie frames</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>their connection as deep love. So I don't know, But</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>now I'm just picturing Titanic. If Titanic were like Billy</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>Zane and Rose collaborating to trick Jack Dawson into something.</span><br/><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-time>(01:02:59)</span>:<br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>But it turns out wait a minute, Rose and Jack</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>are collaborating to trick Billy Zane and get his fortune.</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>Everything remaps onto Titanic. It's just nature. Um, it's unavoidable.</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>And that's something that I also like, It's a trope</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>we talked about a jillion times, but relationships that are</span><br/><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-time>(01:03:21)</span>:<br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>founded on lies, you know, that was like I was</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>aware of very early in the movie. But again, I</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>feel like this movie kind of like finds its way</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>out of the trappings of that where the lies are</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>found out and they simply admit it and apologize to</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>each other and then like take action in a positive</span><br/><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-time>(01:03:42)</span>:<br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>direction where I feel like, you know, we've covered five</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>trillion movies at this point. That is like there's a</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>dare that involves a lie and it makes sense but</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>not really. And then at the end, the you know,</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>the person lying usually in this heterosexual relationship is like</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>Freddy Prince Jr. And he's like, I don't know, I</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>told a lie and I'm not even sorry and I apologize.</span><br/><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-time>(01:04:06)</span>:<br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>This movie, you know, like skirts, all of those things</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>where it is just everything is a lie at the beginning.</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>But then there's that great scene where uh Suki catches</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>Lady Hideco and they have this this just very emotionally</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>raw conversation. They're both crying, they're both being honest, and</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>then and then they singlehandedly destroyed the patriarchy at the end.</span><br/><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-time>(01:04:30)</span>:<br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>So there. Yeah, Also, I mean they're both victims of</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>this patriarchal structure. They're both they have a lot of</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>trauma that they have been subjected to. So yeah, I</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>mean it makes sense that they bond again. I just</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>I wish there was just to smidge more. There's also</span><br/><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-time>(01:04:52)</span>:<br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>that moment that I don't know in the different it</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>makes me want to like watch it back again because</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>I feel like this, like this movie does like give</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>you a lot back once you know what's going to</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>happen in the middle. But even the ways that like</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>their patriarchal structure influences their assumptions of each other. Where</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>at the beginning, like Suki, we hear her talking in</span><br/><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-time>(01:05:15)</span>:<br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>voiceover a lot, and she's talking about Lady Hideko as</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>if she's an object at the beginning, and she's like,</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>you know, ladies are handmaidens, dolls, and like she is</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>you know, being encouraged to think of her in this</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>very particular way and being encouraged to think of her as,</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>you know, someone who is not as smart as her.</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>And then in the second half, we're being encouraged to</span><br/><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-time>(01:05:37)</span>:<br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>think of Suki as someone who is not as smart</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>as Lady Hideko based on how she's been conditioned to view,</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>you know, poor women and and poor people in general.</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>And then in the third part you realize, uh, guess</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>what neither was true? And it was somewhere in the middle,</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>and and they're on the both geniuses, both geniuses, and</span><br/><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-time>(01:05:58)</span>:<br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>and they're on about I really liked Suki had this fun,</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>like Aladdin style introduction to who she was that I</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>thought was very exciting, where I like the the mythos</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>of Suki's life where she's like, I am the world's</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>greatest thief, and I was like, oh my god, she's Aladdin.</span><br/><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-time>(01:06:20)</span>:<br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>This is exciting. And that was I don't know if</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>that has anything to do with anything, but I wrote down,</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>Suki equals Aladdin and she falls in love with her.</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>Princess Jasmine um Hitiko teaches Suki how to read. So</span><br/><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-time>(01:06:42)</span>:<br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>women helping other women, women, uplifting women, you love to</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>see it. Although reading for Hideko was a prison for</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>a long time. She was to read for evil. It's true,</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>and that's why we don't read books. And that's why</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>on the Bectel cast we don't read books because reading,</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>actually women reading is a prison dangerous. We've been saying</span><br/><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-time>(01:07:07)</span>:<br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>this for years. At this point, it's dangerous. I mean</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>to call back to another Disney movie. According to Guston</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>in Beauty and the Beast, women who read it gives</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>them ideas and then they start thinking, and that is dangerous.</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>It's dangerous. Um, does anyone, Does anyone have anything else</span><br/><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-time>(01:07:29)</span>:<br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>they would like to talk about? Ah, that's all I had. Yeah,</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>I just wanted to add. So there's in the second</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>half of the movie. There's a scene we've seen a</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>couple of times from two different points of view where</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>Suki is like standing in as just like a model</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>for the art, like the painting that Hideko is doing</span><br/><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-time>(01:07:52)</span>:<br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>of Suki. And you see a quick reveal of her</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>drawing of Suki, and it's the funniest thing in the</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>world because it's so bad. It's really bad. But they</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>it's like what Leonardo DiCaprio was actually drawing. In the</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>Satanic he's like, um, circled dot dot smile, and then</span><br/><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-time>(01:08:16)</span>:<br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>you just get like the quickest glimpse of it. But</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>it's not really played as a joke. But I like,</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>I burst out laughing every time I see it because</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>it's so funny. Because then because first you see so</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>the council thing is that he's been training for years</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>to be a forger, so he like he's a talented artist,</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>Like he's a really good artist. He's really good at</span><br/><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-time>(01:08:38)</span>:<br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>creating these forgeries of these books and like the art</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>in the books, so he knows what he's doing. And</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>you see like his little sketches and paintings of Suki</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>and you're like, oh damn, Like he's great, and then</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>it pans over to Lady Jideko's drawing. It's the funniest</span><br/><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-time>(01:08:59)</span>:<br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>thing in the world. It's really bad. It's um, I</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>guess the last serious thing I wanted to talk about.</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>And I don't know a whole lot about Park chan</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>wooks filmography. I've seen Old Boy, but it's been several years,</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>so I don't remember it that well. So I don't</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>really know much about him as a figure, and sort</span><br/><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-time>(01:09:20)</span>:<br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>of like his his background and stuff like that. But</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>one of his reasons for wanting to make this movie</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>is that his intention was to normalize queer relationships in cinema,</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>and you know, that's not something that most straight male</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>directors are concerned with. So I feel like it's a</span><br/><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-time>(01:09:42)</span>:<br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>it's a classic step in the right direction kind of</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>move where we've talked about I think a lot of</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>instances like this where the attempt is perhaps in perfect</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>in some ways. But the endorsement of a you know,</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>super fame mis director, and I mean not even the internship,</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>but like a super famous director prioritizing representation of queer</span><br/><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-time>(01:10:07)</span>:<br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>people and of a lesbian relationship in their work is</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>like a good step in the right direction. Does it</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>mean that everything was represented perfectly and in a way</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>that made total sense? Usually not in those cases, because</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>most of these hot shot directors are normally straight men,</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>and they're you know, and there, and therefore they're fucked</span><br/><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-time>(01:10:30)</span>:<br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>in terms of their worldview. But but it usually indicates,</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>I feel like, at least historically, it usually indicates that</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>better movies and better representation is close behind, or I hope.</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>So yeah, yeah, And this movie being a success and</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>critically acclaimed hopefully paves the way for queer women in</span><br/><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-time>(01:10:54)</span>:<br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>South Korea to be able to tell their own stories next,</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>let's hope. So yeah, so the movie does pass the</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>Bechdel test. Hell yeah, a lot of women scheming, a</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>lot of women lying to each other in a way</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>that passes the Bechtel test. And as far as our</span><br/><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-time>(01:11:16)</span>:<br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>nipple scale, our scale of zero to five nipples, based</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>on how the movie Fair is looking at it through</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>the lens of intersectional feminism, I'm tempted to give this</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>like a four point to five. Just the narrative that</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>unfolds of ultimately like women teaming up two overthrow and</span><br/><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-time>(01:11:44)</span>:<br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>manipulate their oppressors the way that they had been manipulating</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>them and coming out on top being allowed to like</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>be together on this ferry and then hopefully after that</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>for however much time they want to spend together, if</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>they live, you know, the rest of their lives together.</span><br/><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-time>(01:12:04)</span>:<br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>And yeah, just like all the commentary on the patriarchy</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>and the smashing of that patriarchy is just very satisfying</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>and cathartic to watch. Um, the sex scenes are pretty</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>male gazy, they're pretty fetish. She a bit gratuitous, will say,</span><br/><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-time>(01:12:28)</span>:<br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>you know, it always kind of begs a question was</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>this the right director to tell this story or you know,</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>like is this is there the right person to be</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>shooting these scenes, and like how much consultation was actually done,</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>et cetera. So that's where the movie loses some points.</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>So I think I'll land on a four and a quarter.</span><br/><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-time>(01:12:49)</span>:<br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>That might be too generous, but I just think this</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>movie rules, So I'm gonna go easy on it, and</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>I will give my nipples to try Kim who plays</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>Suki Minhi Kim who plays Hiteko, the screenwriter John s Kion,</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>and I'll give one to the aunt a tragic fate</span><br/><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-time>(01:13:14)</span>:<br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>and she she deserves something. I'll give my quarter nipple</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>to that amazing drawing. I'm gonna go I think're gonna</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>go there. We when we get into the fractions to</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>get so messy. I'm gonna I'm gonna go three point</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>seven five because ultimately this movie is directed and shot</span><br/><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-time>(01:13:37)</span>:<br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>by straight guys, So I I can't Yeah, I I</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>don't want to go too much higher than that. That said,</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>A period piece that has a female co writer based</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>on the work of famous lesbian writer. It's a period</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>piece where the lesbian couple stays together at a happy</span><br/><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-time>(01:13:58)</span>:<br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>ending for them, we see the their patriarchal structure, um,</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>at least in the terms of the two of them</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>crumble and is very cool and very rare in terms</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>of lesbian period pieces unfortunately. Uh So, I think that's</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>definitely something worth praising. The movie itself fucking rocks. Like,</span><br/><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-time>(01:14:22)</span>:<br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>if you haven't seen it, it's so fun. I wish</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>I had watched it with someone else so we could</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>have like, like all the right moments. But it's just</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>it's it's a really fun movie. It's very accessible if</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>you have Amazon Prime. Hail Basos. Sorry, we can legally</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>have to say that we love what we we love</span><br/><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-time>(01:14:44)</span>:<br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>our bald king. Uh but um, yeah, I mean I</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>think that there there are like little this The sex</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>scenes are male gazy, and they are quite long, and</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>there are I don't know, I mean, this is sort</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>of inherent to the kind of story that this is.</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>But anytime, it's like, the patriarchy is two people and</span><br/><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-time>(01:15:04)</span>:<br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>you know them. So if you can just get rid</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>of these two people, right, you're free. Like it's it's</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>fun in a fantasy way. But I'm always just like, Okay,</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>but what about the rest of it. Yeah, it's not</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>so much smashing the patriarchy. It's more smashing too much</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>those two guys, you know, which is also very hard.</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>But you know whatever, I'm getting very in the weeds there. Um,</span><br/><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-time>(01:15:27)</span>:<br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>I guess you know, I'll go for for a four,</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>but I can't go higher because when it's when it's</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>two straight guys, it's just like, okay, so this is</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>a step, but more please. Uh So I'll go for</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>and I'm giving them all to that go pro. So yeah,</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>what would what would you give it? Um? I think</span><br/><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-time>(01:15:50)</span>:<br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>I'd give it a solid for because you know, it's</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>a good story. It's it's great that it exists in</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>this world from you know, Korean stuff like that. But</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>just yeah, the sex scenes are so long. They're so long,</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>and I was just like, it's too long, and we</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>had to see multiple angles of it, and um, you know,</span><br/><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-time>(01:16:14)</span>:<br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>I feel like, you know, you could have shortened it</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>just a little bit, not like, you know, get rid</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>of it, but shortened it. But you know, I like</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>the story being told in that time of the occupation. Um.</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>And you know, their love actually you know, happy ending</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>they both get to be together. You know, the men</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>they die and everyone is happy who's alive? So I</span><br/><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-time>(01:16:37)</span>:<br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>give it a solid for amazing. Yeah, well, thank you</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>so much for joining us on this journey. Thank you</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>for having me. Of course. Do you have anything you'd</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>like to plug a social media or anything like that.</span><br/><span class=podcast-transcription-text>I do not.
