Finally coming back to you after a movie marathon with Sandra – I did mention that I added some DVDs to my collection? Because this reply needed a bit more thought than I was previous able to summarize in a hurry.

You got me – Seriously, the emotional reason I was taking this specific colour filter was because Alma looked like a doll. A pretty, ghastly expensive porcelain doll completely out of place without an interested owner or someone to play with, because everybody is too afraid she will break. So she does the damage herself or watches the world move on from her window and this was such effortless and perfect way to show how rich women like Alma were perceived in those times. What was expected from them - dress up and don’t interfere with the power play between men, because the true authority always lay in manly hands and to get freedom as woman you had to be ten times cleverer and still depended on fate and shire luck.

I mean would there been an issue, if the richest man in camp fucked a married woman and got her pregnant? Just pay the husband a fair amount of hush money and the problem would solve itself. This sounds like a ridiculous simple explanation for such an intense colouration, but there.

And the thing is Ellsworth is also afraid to play with her, fearing his dirty hands will get her dress messed up or hairdo undone. She’s not the kind of woman he knows, in a way she is completely out of his league and yet she needs him. She listens to him and she takes him serious enough and that even takes him more by surprise. Bullock and Alma make sense to him, even when it is not morally right and he feels embarrassed that she carries out the affaire in such public display of indiscretion. The two of them figured out a common ground once married in overcoming grief and other troubles thrown their way and I strongly believe that they could have been decently happy, if – If not a man with true power had set his eyes on her claim. It’s in the end always about the gold and how far one is willing to go for it.

I’m so happy you loved the vid and took such a satisfaction from it, knowing full well that simple pleasure looks very differently than this vid. I am also happy you liked the icons, they were an afterthought from me. Needing one for this post and because essentially everybody needs at least one Deadwood icon, so I randomly exported frames from the timeline and used them all, because it seemed like a waste of beautiful pictures otherwise. Heh.
