I love when movies (or other such mediums) have mirrors!!!!
It makes for such unique compositions that could never happen otherwise.
And!! It's also so rich as symbol
I love how they show up in Pride and Prejudice and this Kelly Price music video

No other film has made me feel like so strongly that I’m actually witnessing true love.
The relationship between Montgomery Clift and Elizabeth Taylor teeters on the edge of rapture, a rapture of recognition, of adoration, that is almost incestuous… You are me I am you.
Little Golden Age History lesson as it’s interesting to me… Researching the film I found out that Clift and Taylor were extremely close friends in real life until Clift’s untimely death at only 45… She even saved his life when she found him in a car wreck and reached in his mouth and removed his own knocked out teeth that were blocking his throat and choking him. Hollywood was a difficult world for the both of them, especially for Clift as he struggled with having to hide his sexuality as a gay man.
They were also two of the most beautiful people ever, together it’s almost unbearable… is this how the Greek soldiers felt when they finally saw Helen on the walls of Troy… Recognition of something truly extraordinary - a fantastic story overwhelmed by a far more fantastic reality…
This film was where a lifelong connection began, it really is about true love <3

Anders Zorn is beloved for good reason. His work was so skillfully made. Zorn's sense of form in particular is really lovely (and often on display because he loved a nude).
I've seen some of his work irl, but not this piece. Zorn's paintings have a lot of presence in person, so I imagine this one is even more cozy and lively when seen in the flesh. I love the diagonal composition and the use of light, as well as her cute cheeks and socks ♡
