The Night Of The Hunter, 1955, dir. Charles Laughton
“Beauty is often spoke of as though it only stirs lust and admiration, but the most beautiful people are so in a way that makes them look like destiny or fate or meaning, the heroes of a remarkable story. Desire for them is in part a desire for a noble destiny, and beauty can seem like a door to meaning as well as to pleasure. And yet such people are often nothing extraordinary except in their effect on others. Exceptional beauty and charm are among those gifts given by the sinister fairy at the christening. They give the bearer considerable sway over others, which can keep them so busy being a sort of siren on the rocks where others shipwreck that they forget that they themselves need to figure out where they are going.”

there’s a super cute denim skirt but it’s 30 euros which I don’t have and maybe when I can buy it it will not be as weather appropriate anymore :’(
I am a very very beautiful woman
& I dislike most people and I’m a decent cook and my hair is long and so beautiful
I am a very very beautiful woman
sometimes the most progressive thing a woman can be is a dickhead
Cate Blanchett, 1994
I love tumblr cause every once in awhile a seven year old post with only 500 notes of screenshots from some 70s film that’s never been reprinted will come up on your dash and it just happens to have the most beautiful woman you’ve ever seen in your life who’s career was literally just that one movie.
“The "ideal” female body was stripped down and on display all over. That gave a woman, for the first time in history, the graphic details of perfection against which go measure herself, and introduced a new female experience, the anxious and minute scrutiny of the body as intricately connected to female sexual pleasure.“
