Nocturnal Animals, 2016, Tom Ford
There are instinctive animals that desire to receive love like theirs, just want to be understood, and get connected. There are sophisticated animals, assuming and pre-defining everything without truly understanding its fundamental mechanisms. Lastly, our stars, our future, untouched and unshaped- the newborns.
And there were people, who tried, and regretted not acting on it after the mass. However, when people try to fix the mass, their own mass, in the same animal ways, they still hesitate. Hesitate to take an action as they are not the animals.
Have you seen cats in the wild? Or coyotes? They watch through the night, and when the moment comes, they strike.
What about the sophisticated cats? They use charm, beauty, affection — whatever works — to get what they want.
Lambs, originally, are nocturnal too. They watch, they giggle, they do nothing. (Some climb rocks, some go vegan. Cuties. Yes, YOU. Do you need more hints?)
Nocturnal animals are me, you, and us.
We are animals and arrogantly define honest and considerate actions of people. "The detective shouldn't have said that!", "The protagonist(main character) shouldn't seek justice in that way!", "If he was going to kill it anyway, then he should have done it sooner! What a coward!", and blah blah lambs crying out of uncontrollable stupidity.
We became indecisive. My every instincts had been, have been, are tellilng me I need to take certain actions. But because those animals look the same, and sophisticated enough — at least superficially — I shouldn't.
Or should I? Who knows. Hahaha.
