#mi1 tenth watch

[ethanhuntfemmefatale]

the thing is kittridge is SUCH a bitch but im in love with the way he forms words

[ethanhuntfemmefatale]

obsessed with the idea of max getting like. 10 emails in one night in different languages all with the exact same message all from a guy who is clearly NOT her informant. what must have been going through her head. well he's multilingual AND autistic we'd better meet him just in case he happens to be sexy too

[ethanhuntfemmefatale]

see one of the many ways mi1 ethan and i are similar is that i, too, would trust luther with the lives of the entire IMF after knowing him for a day tops (under the sketchiest possible circumstances)

[ethanhuntfemmefatale]

IS ETHAN WEARING A PINKY RING???

[ethanhuntfemmefatale]

grabs chris mcquarrie by the shoulders. is that one bit in fallout where ethan "runs in a circle" meant to be a visual callback to the spiral staircase in the safehouse hotel in prague or have i just watched mi1 ten times and am seeing it in everything. please christopher answer me

[ethanhuntfemmefatale]

oh my god the cheek kiss has luther in the background and he fucking looks up like wait. what.

[ethanhuntfemmefatale]

underrated claire moment is. "oh." picks up money. "max made a deal with you?" given the context that jim has been in contact with max for 2 years now and she definitely knows max is Like That. claire voice ethan did you fuck that woman

[ethanhuntfemmefatale]

I’m still awake. the worst part of ethanjimclaire to me is that it is a love story.

[ethanhuntfemmefatale]

ok i have orchestra in the morning the rest of my unhinged mi1posting will be delayed until tomorrow....last thought for the night. it never ceases to amaze me how the entire team-murder plot is lovingly constructed around ethan. there's this deep knowledge of ethan's instincts, his reactions, his decision making, that goes into the minutiae of the plan. im just thinking about jim sitting dreaming this up and knowing what it would to do to ethan--there's such a theatricality to it! he's putting on a show, ethan learned how to do that from him! he's literally creating this Experience that ethan will go through like a fucking theme park ride, first he goes here, then he goes here. In order to get Sarah alone Jim has to make sure Ethan knows that his (Jim's!) life is in danger, and then Ethan will choose to come find him personally, send Sarah after Golitsyn. it's so INTIMATE

[ethanhuntfemmefatale]

mi1 literally said...here is evil polyamory and good polyamory...evil polyamory fucking MURDERS good polyamory. love LOSES!!!!! mwah hah hah!!!!!!!

[ethanhuntfemmefatale]

shoutout to the magic trick scene moment where claire is laughing against the wall in the background.

[ethanhuntfemmefatale]

i feel like there's so much Jim character insight in the choice of job 3:14 specifically like Why did that call to him i don't get it. im not a bible girlie at all so im sure there's context im missing.

[ethanhuntfemmefatale]

ok so unless im misinterpreting kittridge here, which i might be. jim has been informing to Max for over 2 years by the time prague happens. that's how long there's been Active Betrayal going on. holy shit

[ethanhuntfemmefatale]

this is what happens when you watch a movie ten times. im on this very intense bit (ethan makes the call to push forward with the mission after jim gives the abort) and all i can think is....woah....pierced ears<3

[ethanhuntfemmefatale]

i can't watch this movie without screeching. insert the meme you know the one--i had to stop watching mi1 jim would be like "missed you too ethan" and i'd be like "[SCREAMS]"

[ethanhuntfemmefatale]

im so beyond obsessed with ethan's body language in the opening scene of MI1 but especially the moment after he breaks character when he lays the guy out on the floor and checks that he's unconscious. and then pats his cheek.
