Lol at the latest front page article still being that Pardon Our Dust that promises future articles soon one from July 2020. Lol at the second to last article being that completely serious apology to furries one that really pissed Lowtax off.(and his edit of it is still up as well.)

just watched last duel and was anyone else wondering if the mother in law somehow engineered the whole thing to produce an heir i thought it was odd how much they belaboured how she took all the servants away despite matt damon explicitly telling her not to on the exact same day adam driver showed up coincidentally creating a situation where there were no witnesses

also lol at ben affleck being completely unrecognizable in a major supporting role

yeah that was my impression is she was sort of behind it. but i dont know if it was an heir-rape thing or more like she just hated marguerite and wanted to punish her

the scene later on where she confides about her own experience being raped to marguerite doesnt really suggest that shes into the idea

i think there's the suggestion that the mother-in-law may have been induced to leave marguerite alone in the hopes of destroying the relationship, but scott really doesn't want to set up a livia drusilla-type thing where it's all the fault of a scheming woman and so takes the lightest touch.

yeah i didn't read much into it, but more like 'huh that's weird detail to include, several times'. i definitely don't think he meant it to be like 'oh its another womens fault she got raped' and prob wanted to specifically avoid that: the only one at fault is le gris, obviously. but it did seem like some scheme to at least partially torture/punish her (i.e. being left alone in solitary confinement or whatever)

also the movie is also sufficiently fictional, so w/e

personally i didn't get the impression that there was any sort of deeper motivation than that she didn't like her daughter in law and wanted to punish her by leaving her alone for a day

the question is how le gris knew to turn up on that day to proposition marguerite. what would he have done if it were wall-to-wall witnesses?

I do remember that the frequent joke about It's A Wonderful Life is "Pottersville looks like it's way more fun to live in than Bedford Falls!" which ignores the personal misery and callousness of all of the townspeople in favor of the fact that there's more places to spend money

He specifically has a servant that Margeurite knows get her to open the door, and he has a castle basically next door. Given his prior interest in her I think the implication is he's been having her watched and waiting for an opportunity for some time, and the further creepy implications of that rather than just being tipped off are probably entirely in keeping with the themes.
