#theres certainly something sexual and gendery
Rage August 1962
I like how red dress girl looks so energetic and absolutely full of murderous intent, like I really get a sense of her body moving and her trying to leverage the strength of her legs into really driving that knife in hard and her face absolutely looks like that of a woman trying kill somebody, and big pale guy looks so stiff and nonchalant and hesitant as she’s about to drive that knife into his chest. Like, he’s just kind of awkwardly moving a not-quite-formed fist toward her like he’s not sure what to do here and unclear on whether he wants to go for pinning her other arm against his body or grabbing her shoulder or punching her and looking at her like he’s kind of befuddled and weirdly like he wants to put a flower in her hair or something. Reminds me of those old Medieval pictures where people are being boiled alive in a cauldron by demons in Hell or something and they’re just sort of… chilling, with neutral expressions on their faces, like the situation doesn’t bother them much.
