emerald fennell will get on her zoom and say [posh voice] Nooo no darling the rich people are the worrssstt. You’re supposed to side with the povvo. referring to the 130 minute film she helmed in which a family of prejudiced but loveable aristocrats are murdered and usurped by an upper middle class lunatic

#saltburn #i truly cannot figure her out #insight into her relationship with her own class perhaps #read an interview where she said she’d ‘never get a look in at a place like saltburn’#(which is hilarious considering she called in a favour from a friend at Tatler to let her borrow this exclusive country manor for her movie)#and she’s repeatedly acknowledged her own privilege #but never without further rambling about how embarrassed she is to be posh #so now i’m like okayyy. are you oliver #i have at least 5 different theories about her message here i could go on all day #but probably just an underdeveloped mix of her own ignorance & love for plot twists & lack of clarity about oliver’s motivations #i’m likely putting more thought into the class themes in this than she did #ok sorry for the drivel i don’t know anyone eager to talk about this like i am and i had to get it out #u wouldn’t know by the way i speak of it but i gave this movie 4.5 stars on letterboxd #and a heart
