#ok i just like #wow #every time finn has said something like this#people who hate him and hate finchel have found a way to justify it to make him seem selfish #like every time he tells rachel a star or that he supports her dreams people have turned it around and made him seem like the bad guy #or when that has failed they’ve just said that the writers are trying to ‘make him the hero’ #so last night’s episode actually meant a lot to me because it was kinda like a huge ‘fuck you’ to all those people who just never GOT it #finn has ALWAYS believed in rachel and he’s always thought that she was a star #always #and you can justify it all you want for all those others times #or say that he’s trying to play the hero #but he let the love of his life go because he wanted her to make something of herself #because he believes he’s a star and he believes in her that much #and you literally cannot justify that away or interpret that in a way that makes him a bad guy
In all my experience — and it goes back rather a long way — I’ve never known a time when there was so much crap around. It makes me very angry because those responsible are mostly idiots and charlatans. They know nothing about the cinema and they care very little, too. They just think in terms of ‘fast’ and ‘slow’ and ‘where’s the rooting interest?’ I thought that the swing to melodrama, frankly, would be over four or five years ago already. But it seems like the movies are becoming more formally the circus. It’s the bigger explosion and the wilder escape from the more pyrotechnical situation, and it’s not very rewarding for the actor when everything is either soap opera or pure melodrama or special effects. And by now it’s been going on for so long that the audience is unused to anything else. — Jack Nicholson
