You aren't meant to get a lesbian vibe from her. She's deeply in the closet. And trying not to show them. they weren't allowed to put anything in there that implied that she acted on her feelings at all
I think "Listen to me! I do love you like they said." When before that admission she was denying to herself over and over again Is clear enough.
What is a lesbian vibe anyway. What is she meant to be doing in the film to prove she's a lesbian.
Things that they literally could have got the film banned for.
She's horribly jealous and admits to being in love with her friend is about all they could show.
Karen on the other hand would rather be with her friend than Joe. So that tells you something. And that jacket thing is on purpose. Most things in film are.
Karen is pretty ambiguous.
But seriously. Martha is the "excitable type" according to you Yet she's been pretty dignified her whole life.
"I feel so sick and dirty that I can't stand it anymore."
Did you not listen to what she was saying.
She's in love with her friend as in gay and felt she had to admit it because their whole lives have been destroyed. Karen's life has been destroyed I think is what is worse for her.
Yes female friendships can be intense almost romantic. Which this was. The point is Martha knew it wasn't just that on her part anyway . As you can hear her rationalise it over and over again to Karen. And then admit that it wasn't just friendship. "Listen to me! I do love you like they said."
She knows what it is. Without overtly saying I want to have sex with you and have done for a long time and I'm deeply in love with you but I feel disgusted with myself for feeling that way.
Look I don't know about you but I don't feel that way about my friends in any way. If you do that's fine.
I believe what Martha said. As it was completely clear. Even clear to the actress who played her. If you cannot maybe it's something sort of bias in you.
OK. I know some people need it to slap them in the face before they see it but wow.
"Listen to me! I do love you like they say."
So she is lying. She's so sheltered that she doesn't know her own mind.
But a ten year old child knows what she is talking about.
I'm sorry but wow.
