I think I blocked out relating to that because I'm the younger sister, and I was definitely on Aura's side a lot more, which makes me uncomfortable/feel traitorish to my younger sibling status! But I liked how they also like make up really quickly, because that's so accurate too.<br /><br />I feel like the uncomfortable sex scenes are like a rebellion against the like perfect sex scenes that you see everywhere else, and I feel like Dunham's are a lot more accurate... Not that they don't make me totally uncomfortable too!Laurahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17371636785566309578noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6275165298547340568.post-17420654900361530182012-06-26T18:27:12.242+01:002012-06-26T18:27:12.242+01:00I'm...

I feel like I might look back on it when I'm like 30 or something and be like 'come on girl, get it together', but really I'll only be saying that to myself as I am now, and right now I just can't bully myself! But yeah, I'm glad I've given you an insight into a Lena Dunham-lover's motivations or whatever... (brain? I don't know!)Laurahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17371636785566309578noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6275165298547340568.post-69038291517570112982012-06-26T18:24:39.621+01:002012-06-26T18:24:39.621+01:00You will, I'm sure.

It definitely sounded just like my sister and me in our worst moments! <br /><br />And the scene in the pipe? Maybe the most uncomfortable sex scene ever...well, at least until I saw the first episode of Girls. Why does she like to include those scenes???

(In a new york times profile, a few months back.) But watching it, I just wanted to scream at Aura for most of the movie. The total lack of independence, the lack of a clue what she's going to do with her life, the lack of initiative, Aura's clear attitude that the job her friend gets her is "below" hr, her inability to dismiss these men who are using her. My frustration might've been in part from recognition of myself in Aura (you know, I'm sure that we all can look back at our teens and early twenties and shudder at the way we allowed ourselves to be treated by men), but mostly...her privileged, aimless life drove me nuts. I don't plan on watching tiny furniture again (though I did watch Girls, and thought it got a lot more bearable at the end of the season - when you can see that some of the characters are beginning to change and grow), but I'm glad to get a better sense of what someone would love about the film.Ellenhttp://fatbooks.orgnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6275165298547340568.post-105000927419768812012-06-26T09:56:11.950+01:002012-06-26T09:56:11.950+01:00I still think it would make me feel sick.
