On muses and people
'Marriage would push me to cheat' — assures his new friend, a young waitress Alma, the famous fashion designer Reynolds Woodcock. Alma marvels at his confidence - does this adult handsome man, daily surrounded by women, never wanted tenderness and care and he all goes into his profession? 'I think you're just pretending to be strong' — not believing a convinced bachelor, says Alma.
It turned out that the waitress has a perfect figure. At least for a fashion designer like Woodcock. Alma first began to like herself, finding perfection in the environment and dresses of a person that not every lady can afford. This is love.
'
I feel like I've been looking for you for a long time' He loves it, too. Or is she just a maker's muse? “Perhaps all women feel the same way in his outfits.”' Muses should not be noisy at breakfast, otherwise the artist’s whole day can go to waste. It turns out to be just a muse.
The story of the previous muse ended with a breakfast incident. Love is demanding – it needs not only strength, warmth and protection from the chosen one, it needs his weaknesses and infirmities in order to be able to give himself in service. Alma says she gave her all to him, but according to a strange law, the same is required of him. The moments of weakness of someone who pretends to be strong are so short, and then you have to become the muse of the fashion titan. Already so much has been experienced since their acquaintance, and she, like an attentive viewer, only at the beginning of a long journey - the struggle for his love, that hides - she is sure - in his air castle, woven from invisible, ghostly threads of conventions and habits, but only from which - he is sure - and there are those masterpieces that do not mind to dress and the Belgian princess. The castle of ghostly threads must be destroyed. If only its owner was not buried under the rubble.
This taste of big cinema is becoming less and less common. The world of high fashion, beauty of interiors, big people. And it's not about a girl from a neighborhood who dreams of becoming a hip-hop star. No, it's not, and it's not about ' high' theme. People are not big because they are noble or talented. It's because they don't say too much. There is a lot of talk, but almost everything is about the main thing. There is no idle word in the script...
Where love meets death, there is no other way. In the climactic dinner scene, the stingy words about a martini glass disappear into the evening silence that hides that encounter. Love longs to come out and demands the death of the old life. He wants to kiss her and is ready to die.
