the “what to watch” list  me before you

Some mistakes…just have greater consequences than others. But you don’t have to let the result of one mistake be the thing that defines you. You, Clark, have the choice not to let that happen.

Where is home? At the drug store fountain with a black and white soda and an extra scoop of vanilla? Or is it deep in the Faubourg Saint-Germain? If I’m a girl without a home, am I a girl without a country? I wouldn’t like that to happen to me.

Samuel A. Taylor, Sabrina Fair (1953)

I bought her this. It cost me ten quid, plus my Johnny Rotten t-shirt. Your mother knew quite the rebel. I was studying in Paris when I met her. I hopped on a train and followed her to Greece… quite spontaneously.

The Signs as Vivien Leigh Film Roles

ARIES: Scarlett O'Hara. The energy you wield is most powerful. You are an absolute original, and while others might not perceive you as a creative, you definitely are one of a kind in your novelty. You have drive, power, and humor- qualities anyone would desire. You know exactly how to get what you want, and sometimes do it ruthlessly, but never stray too far from your moral compass. Just because your goals don’t always align with others doesn’t make you a bad person. Some view you unfavorably but you don’t mind being the villain. It just means you have the guts and the natural resources to do what you have to, and you don’t shy away from opportunities that are presented to you.

TAURUS: Karen Stone. You have an incredible poker face, exquisite taste, and supreme BDE. You always end up having the upper hand and being the alpha of the group, whether you want to be or not. While you aren’t exempt from having your tiffs and moments of despair, you are innately competent despite it all and are always capable of picking yourself up in moments of tribulation. Sometimes you get tired of being strong, though, and want to be babied- but it’s a side of you that you rarely show to others that don’t know you too well. You’re grounded, possess remarkable stability, and, while you’re capable of change, one of your key traits is your consistency.

GEMINI: Mary Treadwell. You’re a performer at heart which springs from the duality of your nature. The private side of you can be reserved sometimes, deeply touched by those closest to you, and even a little revengeful- but your public persona is something that’s curated, theatrical, and has a vibrancy that is appealing to the masses. Even those who openly dislike you have a hard time minimizing how much of a joy you are to be around and how much fun those in your presence end up having. It’s not all smiles and roses, though. You’re deeply contemplative, leading to bitter resentment sometimes, which you try to mask- sometimes successfully and other times unsuccessfully. While you’re ever evolving, you always carry the past with you internally, and change what it means to you and your relationship to your past at different points in your life.

CANCER: Blanche DuBois. You are ruled by your emotions, which is the most beautiful and most dangerous thing about you. While you may be stronger than others perceive you to be at times, you can crumble without the love and support of your dear ones. Sometimes you don’t understand the cruelty of the world we occupy, and aim to fill it with as much gentleness and care as possible. However, you’re also blind to the own hand you play in conflict and don’t always hear others when they attempt to call you out for your behavior. You view it as an attack and retreat to lick your wounds before you surface again. You’re nostalgic for a time that perhaps never was, but live in a romanticized version of reality and the past in your head. You love deeply and totally.

LEO: Emma, Lady Hamilton. You prefer to live in a world where beauty is king. While you can enjoy performing and peacocking about, it’s because, at your core, you live to please your audience. You may be drawn to the finer things in life, but you’d gladly give it up for love. You have too much pride and loyalty to others to let it be known when you’re struggling, and while you can be stubborn and stand by your convictions, you make the most incredible of friends- and lovers. If you deem someone to be worthy of your presence, and a good person at heart, you’ll pretty much accept all of their faults and sketchy behavior. However, if someone gets on your bad side or you’re led to believe they’re intrinsically bad people, there’s no convincing you otherwise and you won’t accept anything- gifts, good behavior, or apologies- from those people. Your passion is what sets you apart.

VIRGO: Cleopatra. You come across as very learned and can seem judgmental at times, too stern, and very serious. However, underneath the teacher is the student, and you are always soaking up life about you and never take anything for granted. You never leave a new city or country or gathering the same as when you first came in. You’re fascinated by your observations of the world and are always evolving in your understanding of life and the unique people and circumstances it brings to you. You can let your hair down and have fun, however you always revert through legitimizing the world via your perception and understanding of it and come across as very rooted and diplomatic.

LIBRA: Elsa Craddock. You’re a goodtime girl (gender neutral) who loves to be an active participant in life. Some might call you thrill-seeking, but the truth is, you make most of the time that we’re here on earth for. You’re a great enthusiast of many things, which is why you can never make a decision to save your life. You don’t like to be weighed down, by people, rules, or external factors, and can get argumentative when you feel you’re being pushed in a corner. You love making up and beautifying yourself and deny the notion that you have to be devoid of personality to be someone to take seriously. You’re the “going out friend” every person should have, but take care that you don’t get too reckless.

SCORPIO: Myra Lester. You are one of the most fascinatingly alluring, hypnotizing, and mysterious beings on the planet. Capable of making anyone fall in love at first sight, others are easily intrigued by you, and you’re able to keep up the intrigue- because it isn’t an act. You’re effortlessly enigmatic. You’re far from being cold or distant though! You’re incredibly loyal- to the point where you prefer having one or two close friends to many- and, underneath the perfect image you present to the outside world, you’re incredibly soft. You also have a secret penchant for putting yourself in situations that bring out your wildly erotic side, though if this facet of your character is kindled without a loved one or in a way that isn’t meaningful to you, it’s deeply damaging. You are a unique treasure whom all hold dear, though they’ll never fully be able to figure you out.

SAGITTARIUS: Cynthia from Fire Over England. You always appear to be comfortable and, if given the chance to explore a foreign country tomorrow with a day’s notice, you’d pack overnight. You’re adventurous and long to see the world through your own eyes, which leads many to believe you’re a younger spirit. However, you feel stagnant and aged when omitted from things other people might deem as frivolous but you view as infringing upon your freedom. A conversation that’s overly guarded or sanitized is not for you and, if you’re in a setting where you need to heavily edit yourself, you’d rather not speak at all. Your need for authenticity and freedom often put everyone at ease and seems to encourage everyone to live life to the fullest.

CAPRICORN: Hester Collyer. You’re a wild card that’s packed with chaotic energy. You’re the kid in school that never lied if they forgot about completing an assignment, and it would always throw the teacher for a loop. You don’t care about the impressions you give off and live life without fearing anyone else. You’re on an endless quest to discover more about yourself but go about this in a natural way that doesn’t always read as cerebral to more grounded signs. However, despite all of these factors, you’re incredibly devoted to those closest to you and make a very responsible and loving caregiver. Many feel you were the most difficult child of the bunch that grew into the best of parents. However, no title or experience in life robs you of your incredible range of emotions, moods, and quick-witted comebacks.

AQUARIUS: Madeleine Goddard. You are always two steps ahead of everyone else, with a rhythm others can’t quite figure out. While human emotions- like those of romance or even depression- may slow you down temporarily, others would perhaps never notice you skipping a beat. You’re so in touch with the core of who you are that you never unintentionally mimic those around you or deviate too far from the way you were created, which is unusual in a world where everyone else is trying to be what they think others want them to be for social inclusion. You’re pretty perceptive and are able to read people incredibly quickly.

PISCES: Anna Karenina. It’s easy for others to view you as privileged and spoiled- after all, you effortlessly harness what the masses would die for. However much you have in the material world, you always ask yourself what the human cost of certain things are. Nothing is of greater importance than your happiness and when you aren’t prioritizing yourself, you’re not the best version of yourself for those around you. You come across as very polished and something to aspire to, a figure of complete perfection. But you’re also emotional, sometimes moody, and morally gray. You’re extremely easy to make friends with and were likely voted best dressed in high school, but you also have a difficult time getting along with others people would perceive would be a good fit for you. This is because you’re highly intuitive and nearly impossible to peg.
