Re: Hold me close (PG)
Wonderful, Red. Just wonderful.
I could quote the entire thing but I especially loved this section....
I could quote the entire thing but I especially loved this section....
I do love it when Mick speaks to you.The world could end right now and I wouldn't notice. I wouldn't stop. All I can feel, everything, my body, soul, heart, hope is in this moment. Hope and despair. Life and death.
Her vibrant blood flows through me, reaching every corner, bringing me back to life just as I die a little more with every moment.
I will survive. But who will I be now?
I've broken the most sacred bond of my existence. I thought I was stronger, but now I know I am powerless.
Beth.
Beth.
Beth.
Save me.
Destroy me.
Love me.

Re: Hold me close (PG)
This is beginning to feel like a series of expansions of all my most favorite scenes!
So much depth here, and Mick's thoughts feel so right. He was so far gone when Beth arrived; I love the idea that he was hearing his mother's voice in that moment.
The most telling line for me is this one . . .I will survive. But who will I be now?
That's just what I saw in this moment . . . that though this moment was a victory for Beth (and for us) it was really a failure in Mick's mind. He'd managed to stay away from Leni, even though he'd believed earlier that it would be impossible for him to do so. But he couldn't fight it when Beth was there . . .
So lovely, Red.

That's what happens when you run out of original ideas - go back to the source material.Shadow wrote:This is beginning to feel like a series of expansions of all my most favorite scenes!
Absolutely. That's exactly what I was aiming for - and so happy you felt it.Shadow wrote: that though this moment was a victory for Beth (and for us) it was really a failure in Mick's mind.

Re: Hold me close (PG)
Red, I love the way you got into Mick's head!
You have beautifully illustrated the dichotomy of Mick's existence. His will to live at odds with his horror at what he must do to survive. Beth is both his salvation and his downfall. He is bound to her forever.

Re: Hold me close (PG)
Such a pivotal scene. One of the spots that made us love Moonlight forever, because it was so very interpretable (if that's a word!) in different ways.
This does play perfectly with Mick's expressions in that scene. So very believable.
Thanks, Red.

Oh Red, this is so beautiful. Watching and rewatching that wonderful scene on the show, I've always wondered what Mick was contemplating in his daze, when he was zoned-out, just before Beth's arrival.
Now I know it.
Great job.

Hi Red,
Another classic and yes, it did bring a wee tear to my eyes as well- Poor Mick, so conflicted in his need for Beth and her life blood...
I loved this line, it summed up everything:
Brava!
