So beautiful. And so much more poignant if we know at what point in the narrative this look of pain and longing and gratitude comes (apologies to my Tumblr friends who do not know Black Sails).

It’s beautiful here, but lonely, no?
God’s Own Country (2017), dir. Francis Lee
I SO want to watch this film (British working-class counterpart to the educated bourgeoisie of Call Me By Your Name). Desperately waiting for the dvd.
a non-comprehensive list of things that makes flint slowly realize silver is lying about his past:
- he speaks spanish
- scratch that he speaks several languages, some badly, some very well
- he’s ‘lettered’ but more so than billy, by miles
- it’s evident he’s already read most of flint’s library
- he’s heard silver tell at least six conflicting stories about his time in the orphanage
- specifically he’s overheard silver recounting that solomon little story interchangeably casting himself as solomon
- when silver is in his post-amputation recovery haze he has a lot of nightmares; once he wakes up shouting at nothing in what flint suspects is ladino, though he has no way to confirm it
- silver never once acknowledges the nightmares afterwards
- his accent slips constantly
- his knowledge of england’s recent history, geography and widely known cultural references are glaringly poor, though he covers it up well–mostly by not making any
- he’s too comfortable in hot weather
- HE ACTUALLY TANS PROPERLY, doesn’t go lobster pink even once (flint is a little jealous of that–it’s probably the last straw)
- also: nobody is from nowhere

Goodnight Robicheaux & Billy Rocks
Can’t you see it?
“[Flint and Silver’s] was a complicated relationship with a lot going on under the surface. Starz gave us the freedom to allow some of these relationships to exist without specific labels and to embrace that people don’t always say what they’re feeling and exist in the space that people don’t even know about themselves.” [x]
