Godshot book review6/27/2023 ![]() And it’s like no one is concerned at any juncture here about what Laura-Julia Roberts character-actually wants. ![]() And I think the Ben character, the guy that she meets, he’s pursuing but pursuing aggressively in this way that’s off-putting. This is a movie about torturing and tormenting and then hunting someone down as a result of them escaping. It’s just like, no, the woman has something that the man wants and he is honor-bound to pursue it and get it by any means.Īnd it’s like, no, this isn’t a movie about pursuing someone. These are things that are indicative of manhood in heterosexual relationships. Because, like pursuit, particularly in a cultural context, where we think of pursuit as like something noble that a man does to a woman, right? Like he’s pursuing her. Mychal Denzel Smith: No, I don’t see it that way at all. So I was curious about a novel of pursuit, a movie of pursuit. But I think in that time, which wasn’t even that long ago and probably still today, there has to be a digestible component for people in order to take in that kind of content. ![]() Pursuit can almost sound neutral or a little bit romantic, like I’m persuing a relationship with you. It’s so funny because on the front of the novel, the little tagline says “A novel of pursuit.” And I thought that language was interesting because to me, it’s like… pursuit? Yes, her abusive husband is pursuing her across the country and he’s searching. Chelsea Bieker: I was thinking so much about how the movie would probably be different today. ![]()
