“Miss Havisham is an important feminine literary figure in the tradition of Antigone (though it's significant that Antigone is fighting to bury something and Miss Havisham refuses, as it were, to bury the corpse). Like Hamlet, she's focused on what everyone would rather not know or would like to forget, and she seems crazy / stuck as well as bitter, but she's also a perfect prototype of a performance artist. She's intentionally hard to deal with inviting the audience to remain with the violated body, the evidence of violence.” KnowsWellsImportantHardBodySeemsArtistFightingPerfectForgetDealsAudienceViolenceCrazyMissingFiguresEvidenceTraditionPerformancesRefuseFocusedStuckSignificantBitterFeminineCorpsesInvitingPrototypeAntigoneHavishamMiss Havisham Author:Laura Mullen
“It's this long monologue [in Valley of Violence] with Ethan Hawke talking about life and everything with a dog. That's not in movies.

He's talking to a dog the whole time."” PeopleThinkingLongWholeHomeTalkingViolenceCrazyDogHopefullyValleysBeing CrazyMonologues Author:Ti West

“We're either awake or we're sleeping. During the time that we're awake, we work very hard at denying things, mainly because we have to function as people. We have to control and repress everything that we're fearful of, because it doesn't make sense to go crazy on the streets, but in reality we hide and we hide, repress and repress, our fears of the world of violence, of separation, of death, and sometimes hopes, and some things that are very joyful, reunions or all of those good things. It's only in dreams that we're really truthful with whatever hurts most; they're really very real.” PeopleWorldRealSometimesHardDreamRealityHurtSleepViolenceCrazyStreetsFunctionGood ThingsSeparationMake SenseAwakeFearfulTruthfulJoyfulReunion Author:Shirin Neshat
