sheep 🥺

how come nobody’s mentioned the absurd KKK rally bit between all the serene landscape shots did you all really see it coming wtf

when a visual medium mainly (better yet, solely) relies on visuals to convey what needs to be conveyed is a gargantuan turn-on for me anyway, but with visuals as gorgeous as this film’s??!! i’m stirred. the minimal amount of dialogue that is present is spoken in a dead language (or in war cries that are far from dead,) significant but need not be understood literally. since most of the film was silent i wanted to be too but i love this so much that i feel uncharacteristically loud and sleepless thanks to how excited this film got me despite being so calming

feels like the film in itself is a catch-22, you need to have read (and loved) the book to truly appreciate it but you won’t appreciate it (as much) BECAUSE you read the book. 

i could be wrong
