The way that things were so hazy when Joel was moving through the hospital searching for Ellie. It was shot out of focus, we watched his boots more than anything. The sound was muffled. He killed every single person he came across, even those who weren’t maybe necessary. It felt like a fugue state, dissociative, even.
Then the second he has Ellie in his sight, everything is clear again. When he shoots the doctor, it’s loud and in focus. He spares the nurses. He’s evaluating threats. He’s making plans. He’s cold and clinical again, the way we saw in past episodes when Ellie was in danger.
nearly every character pedro pascal plays is like a charismatic intimidating figure with some sort of skill in combat meanwhile every photo i see of that man irl has this energy
also huge fan of the fact that benoit blanc uses an old timey bathing suit. like first of all yeah that fucking rules and is very gender of him. but ALSO like.
its daniel craig. he was JAMES BOND obviously hes been shirtless in a movie before. he literally wanted to be shirtless in this but rian johnson was like, no i dont think so. and frankly THANK FUCK.
the fact that he Is shirtless in the film but its not sexualized or masculized since he’s literally taking a bath, and then when they have the chance to show him sexy in a pool hes in an old timey bathing suit and its just perfect
I really want to keep Blanc’s backstory a mystery, but if they ever do show us Blanc’s family on screen i hope they’re all played by iconic British actors with thick southern accents. let Ian McKellen and Judi Dench play Blanc’s parents. they’ve been cast as posh British people for so long. let them be free
THIS IS SO FUCKING FUNNY
Don’t forget his lesbian aunts, Maggie Smith and Julie Andrews
