Gilda - (1946) Directed by Charles Vidor
Starring Rita Hayworth, Glenn Ford, George Macready,
Joseph Calleia
Gilda, are you decent?
Rita Hayworth stunningly stings as the title character in this 1946 film noir classic. Gilda is the type of girl you hear about in a Deftones song, an Rx Queen. In fact, White Pony would make an interesting soundtrack for the constant knife party between Rita Hayworth's Gilda and Glenn Ford's Johnny Farrell.
I hate you so much that I would destroy myself to take you down with me.
Hate is a powerful and, as the film states, "exciting" emotion. To have hate is to have love, the line between both is thin and translucent. To hold something to such an esteem as hate or love is to extremely wind up your feelings to a heightened sensitivity, so tightly pressured that at any sudden relief the hold snaps. This is why the slightest disappointment with a lover can easily slip into hate or why in contrast, the obsession of hatred becomes as consuming as love until it is warped into love, a harsh, violent explosion of love.
I hate you so much I think I'm going to die from it. Darling...I think I'm going to die from it.
