JACOB ELORDI as FELIX CATTON Saltburn (2023) · dir. Emerald Fennell

hey guys, I'll be off for a week or two as I'll be posting on my ides of march blog @marcus-junius-brutus15 .

Oliver definitely listens to Mitski

im always surprised how many people think venetia is the younger sibling. i feel like we get so caught up in those scenes defined as shocking and grotesque by media and pop culture at large that we skim over the quiet, lurking horrors of saltburn. poor, poor venetia, who was born first but will never be first, not to the boys, not to her parents, not to oliver, not to anyone. mommy's emotionally battered and neglected firstborn daughter. felix was born when venetia was still a baby, not even two years old, the perfect golden boy, son and heir, sun and air. and he's getting it all, the title, the estate, everything ("I will look after this house just as felix would have"). do you think they ever talked about it? which catton was getting saltburn? i dont. venetia, the butt of every joke. desperate, embarrassing, lighting her body up like a neon sign on an empty highway. if felix is the sun, venetia is the moon, shrouded in darkness when he's not near. venetia, destroying and remaking herself in her mother's eyes. always hungry, a scavenger of love, picking over felix's scraps, sucking up the detritus at the bottom of a dark, lonely ocean.

Guys do you think Oliver quick can drive?

another day working at the saltburn estate cemetery. everyone keeps asking me if they can fuck felix catton's grave. buddy, they let everyone fuck it

I saw some parallels and did a thing

Wasn’t sure what to put in the middle spot

saltburn nation I'm so sorry the hannibal brainrot is taking over.

I am so completely taken by venetia, i think she is everything. She went through so much and i feel like we dont talk abt it enough.

The entire movie we re aware that she is battling anorexia and when she finally thought she found someone who could accept her as she was and someone who would love the more “disgusting” parts of her she was betrayed and let down and left alone in the cold.

Then theres the whole Henries thing, where everyone especially Elspeth, just sweep under the rug the fact that she would get touched or full on assaulted by them and elspeth just makes a silly quip “we can sit you next to oliver he ll molest you” and we just move on like its nothing.

And her final monologue is packed with so much pain and courage. Shes outwardly calling out oliver, shes putting a mirror up to his face and showing him what he is and that shes figured him out, as he stands there dumbfounded trying to get out of it.

And her death was so undeserving. We can see blood not only in the tub but also on the floor. Maybe showing that she regretted it and tried to get out to call for help but no one came and so she died alone knowing who put those blades there knowing she was betrayed and used in Olivers scheme to get to felix.

I just think Venetia Catton is brilliant.

where are the posts and gifs celebrating and analyzing Venetia??? The vampire scene??? Her style, her heart-shaped sunglasses and wearing heels to play tennis??? Just, her presence in the film??? The way her mother speaks about her to total strangers??? The way that she calls out Oliver in her last scene??? Her recognizing him for who he is, and that being her undoing??? The tension that she holds within herself, just like Felix, but so much smaller in the eyes of Oliver and the film??? (I also think it's interesting that she and Elspeth have such visceral death scenes but Felix is just a cut away shot... Emerald Fennel your mind...) Please I beg of y'all talk more about Venetia!!! And stop posting so much about that nerd who was in the movie for five minutes.

Do you think Felix paid for Oliver's top surgery?

i ordered these off etsy yesterday. i desperately didn't need anymore oversized black tees but i mean. look at them.

(they have so many great designs for horror film tees i wish i had a bigger wardrobe 🥲🥲🥲).

Caesar on a TV Screen by The Last Dinner Party is so Oliver Quick coded I'm going to combust

Anyone else noticed the way Felix is always baring his neck?? Like even the first time he meets Oliver he's doing this:

Like literally just tossing his head back and exposing his throat. We get this shot of Felix so many times that it's almost a motif lol he does it again here:

And of course he does it in the tub:

And again, for the very last time, in the maze :

Any time I see an image repeating like this over and over again I start wondering how it is significant. If we're reading Saltburn as an non-supernatural vampire story, which imo it absolutely is, we can see Felix's repeated vulnerability. He's exposing his life force to Oliver. We see the pulse in his neck, thinly veiled and beating under his skin. We see his fragility and his exposure and Oliver sees it too. Oliver, functioning as a 'vampire' of sorts, just wants to take. And take. And take from Felix. His obsession with consuming Felix in turn functionally consumes him. He never kisses Felix, he never gets that "bite" Felix is opening himself up to in these moments and I don't think any amount of Felix would be enough for Oliver. Further, i think Oliver actually recognizes his own insatiability in those final moments in the maze and decides that he is going to take Felix in the only way he knows will be complete and absolute. The utter finality of death appeals to Oliver in that moment because he wants everything to *last* and if he can end Felix's life, he knows at least he can do something to Felix that will be eternal.

Which leads us to see Felix hanging his head. He has no life force left to bare to Oliver anymore. He slumps his shoulders and crouches in on himself in these final moments. Oliver has finally drained him.
