------I Thought This Concept Was Pretty Enticing, Given The Stakes. It Really Expressed How Love Grounds

------“I thought this concept was pretty enticing, given the stakes. It really expressed how love grounds people’s existence. Wish it had more time to flesh out the characters.”

His interest in the image is largely psychological, for he sees in this picture of a river overbearing its boundaries a perfect analogy to the result of stress or rush of emotion in men, as when Brabantio, distraught on hearing Desdemona has left him for Othello, cries to the duke: my particular grief Is of so flood-gate and o’erbearing nature That it engluts and swallows other sorrows, And it is still itself.

so we find Bacon writing that philosophy as a study is not idle, because all professions are served from it. ‘For if you will have a tree bear more fruit than it hath used to do, it is not anything you can do to the boughs, but it is the stirring of the earth and putting of new mould about the roots that must work it.' Or again, later, he says, ‘Notwithstanding, to stir the earth a little about the roots of this science … as we have done of the rest . . . ’

Diseases in plants too— especially canker in roses — he resents their destruction of beauty. In his imagination the disease is continually affecting and damaging the plant exactly as evil passions or repressions destroy the human being. Jealousy is the ‘canker that eats up Love’s tender spring’

It is he alone who suggests that kindly persuasion may achieve more than the use of a spur, 'if you give a good horse the rein and let her run, she’ll not stumble’

There was a moment where the film really allowed me to indulge in it’s meditative quality. I could almost say that I participated my emotion and attention more than the character itself.”
