I recently watched the 2nd series of this show and the scene where Bisma sings 'Don't Let Me Be Misunderstood' was one of the most poignant and emotional scenes I've ever seen so I wanted to create a piece inspired by that moment!
I love how in the show Bisma pauses her daughter and walks away because TV and society is so hostile to seeing mothers as people. Once it becomes about her as a mother that's it, she is mother spice.
So in order to let us see her as a person we can't see her as a mother.
just started watching 'we are lady parts' and man. i get it, i really do.
this show has everything?? all-female muslim punk band with awesome style, kickass attitudes and really well-developed characters?? i knew i'd die for any of them by the time i was ten minutes in so, yeah, there's that.
also. they're all very hot. would lowkey sell my soul to become a groupie. watch this space to see how this turns out :))
THE OCCASIONAL MAGICAL REALISM-ADJACENT SCENES? I LOSE MY SHIT OVER THEM (/POS) BC IM A FILM STUDENT THROUGH AND THROUGH (LIKE THE TV REMOTE AND PIXELATION-CENSORING)
THE CHARACTERS? SOOOOOO REAL AND FUNNY AND LOVABLE (I DONT EVEN HAVE A FAVE, THEYRE ALL AMAZING)
I LOVE THAT ITS SET IN ENGLAND, ITS SO SPOT-ON WITH HOW IT FEELS TO LIVE HERE
I LOVE THAT I LEARN THINGS ABOUT A CULTURE IM NOT A PART OF, IT'S MADE ME SO MUCH MORE UNDERSTANDING
I LOVE THAT I CAN SEE MYSELF IN THE QUEER CHARACTERS
I WANT TO BITE SOMETHING ITS SOOO GOOD
edit: finished it. i shall never be the same again. i am a boy forever changed.
