After watching, I also thought that way.Guest wrote: ↑29 Sep 2021, 10:49You’re right M is definitely deep in love with Kate (who is a bitch)Guest wrote: ↑25 Sep 2021, 15:44Birds Of Paradise (The ballet one) released on Amazon Prime today. It was ok, started out strong and then dwindled towards the end. The actresses had really good chemistry.
But, when you listen to Diana's (Kate's actress) music playlist she used to get into character.
There are a two songs that really make it clear her character initially was very infatuated with Marine, but those feelings kind of dwindled when Kate started to obsess over becoming Kate, not being with her. Also, the actresses in interviews heavily insinuate that their characters during the threesome had deeper feeling for one another, Diana even says that to her character the threesome "meant more than just seccs, it was much "deeper than that". It's interesting to find out these internal feelings that Kate might have been burying, due to the prize consuming her.
But yes the two actresses chemistry was eccentric and captivating. I was so excited to see an amazing wlw enemies to lovers slow burn relationship, but it ended up way more complex, messy and on the surface level disappointing. It's only when you explore deeper, overthink you could say, when you can truly appreciate the complexity it is suppose to be.
Yes, this is a love story between two women. Yes it's about how one (K) of those girls broke the other's (M) heart. This paralleling M and her twin brother Ollie's dynamic. But in the end the heartbreak allowing M to finally face her fears and be free, to be a bird in paradise (symbol of freedom, joy). Kate coming from a poor family with big dreams achieved her freedom of finance and social status.
I think the movie is about love, heartbreak, loss, achieving something beyond yourself and the exchange of lives between two women that have allowed them to be free in their own sense of the word.
The songs in Diana's Kate playlist that I'm talking about are:
"My Body is a Cage -Arcade Fire & Chewing Cotton Wool - The Japanese House".
Some lyrics I wanna highlight are:
"my body is a cage, That keeps me from dancing with the one i love, But my mind holds the key"
& "She's the only one around, And she's turning off the lights, And she's inside every crack, She's the only thing in sight, She's the only one I see, And she's flying through the air, She's the dust upon the sill, She's everywhere, And she's breaking up the line, And she's sitting in the rain."
