The Children's Hour
"But... maybe I love you the way they said, I love you. Listen to me! I have loved you the way they said! There's always been something wrong. Always, just as long as I can remember. But I never knew what it was until all this happened. [...] I lie in bed night after night, praying that it isn't true. But I know about it now. It's there. I don't know how, I don't know why. But I did love you. 427
I do love you! I resented your plans to marry maybe because I wanted you. Maybe I've wanted you all these years. I couldn't call it by name before, but maybe it's been there since I first knew you. [...] I never felt that way about anybody but you. I've never loved a man. I never knew why before. Maybe it's that. There's something in you, and you don't know anything about it because you don't know it's there. And then suddenly one night, a little girl gets bored and tells a lie. And there, for the first time, you see it and you say to yourself, "Did she see it? Did she sense it?" [But it could have been any lie! She was looking for anything to...] But why this lie? She found the lie with the ounce of truth."
Isn't it crazy that it didn't even cross anybody's mind to discuss the queerness of the film while making it? It could've been any lie, what they wanted to speak on were the perils of gossip, it just happened that this fit best.
<PERSON> said she and <PERSON> never even talked about their character's relationship, there was no concern with identity or what that specific choice meant and yet <PERSON>'s speech is everything! "And there, for the first time, you see it and you say to yourself, "Did she see it? Did she sense it?" THAT 👏 RAW 👏 TRUTH 👏 damn! <PERSON> sweetie I am so sorry!!! <PERSON> you're a bi legend!! Ya'll deserved so much more!!!!! 598
