first off, thanks @more-than-tender-curiosity for getting this clip!

second off. second off… hoo boy. TWO INSTANCES OF JAY.

alan also sounds like he’s bouta cry which. yea. hugging him. he deserves hugs.

the natsby vibes in this? god. what did we do to deserve this—“why don’t you forget about her?”

the flinch. i am going to talk about the flinch. alan Hated gunshots. you can see this in the start of 1949, and also in a few other movies—Shane being a great example, when Shane shows off his gun to Joey. but why would he flinch here? there’s no gun—it’s just macdonald carey’s hand. is it a character thing or his acting? i don’t know, to be honest, and i desperately want to. he’d been punched in several other films by this point—The Blue Dahlia and The Glass Key, certainly, come to mind. but it’s just carey’s hand. i would say that the flinch—and the reasoning behind it—is probably up for personal interpretation.

and then. “LET/LEAVE ME ALONE.” i can’t very well tell if it’s let or leave me alone, and both would fit just fine. but his voice—his voice. i can’t remember exactly which other movies alan raised his voice in, perhaps The Carpetbaggers? but anyhow, it’s the same in 1949 as it is in whatever other movie he raised his voice for. it’s not bad, honestly.

and also the music at the end. movie composers in the 40s and 50s… i desperately think there should be more recognition of 40s & 50s movie composers.

other thought about the tgg movies. spoilers for 1949

- nick is pretty in all of them. seriously. they always get a pretty nick.

- my favorite was 2013, except the music. seriously. the goddamn music

- my second favorite was 1974, except for the fact that daisy and jordan’s interactions with other characters felt very OOC

- sorry 1949, you’re gay as fuck but also rushing to tell the story. slow down.

- 1949 does have the best music. it’s also the saddest. nick was THERE.

- myrtle’s death in 1949 should not be as funny as it is. girl goes zoom.

- jay gets to slap a bitch in 1949. he however, does not get to fight with tom. it would have been awesome.
