I watched ‘Malcolm and Marie’ last night… I texted my friend who recommended it saying “To say that I am shook is an understatement”. Reading the reviews after it was mentioned somewhere that the f-word was used 300 times. Isn’t that a feat in its own? Does it make the viewer uncomfortable? Yes! Does it make you pick a side? Yes!. The black and white cinematography does it for me. I would re-watch the last 15mins over and over again and not ‘un’ feel it.
Bad Liar~ Roses and Frey
We all are ugly and disgusting on the inside, I know I am but we do our best to wrap that ugliness in layers and layers of pretence, politeness and a smidge of humanity. Sometimes we let the ugliness show, sometimes the ugliness wants to rip open from the inside even when you don’t want it to. Some days you bottle that shit up, most days you get away with it and one day it all spills out. Worse even to the shock and horror of the people who think they know you. We are asked to always bring our best selves where ever we go or with whom ever we are. But where do we take our ugly selves that need some work?
If by any chance you slip up and let the ugly you out – will people still stay and say “it’s okay? I still love you?” Will they be gentle? Will they heal you? Will they show you their ugliness in turn? would you stay or run? Would you be gentle?
How complex are relationships… you just need one ugliness to unravel it all. Next time when people tell you the truth about themselves spare them the judgement. Be there … as hard as it might be… just be.
We were not made to be ugly, we just forgot how to be beautiful by embracing the ugliness we created within.
