What is wrong with you? The OP wants suggestions on
"other high quality movies that focus on lesbian relationship."
and you tell her to watch the French version of The Singing Nun? Even with the lesbian subplot thrown into it, it has no comparison with what the OP wanted to watch more of after seeing Carol.
Sounds like you haven't really watched the movie, or if you have, you already made up your mind about it before even getting into it – which totally spoiled your experience. Because if you actually watched it, you would know that it has several things in common with Carol. They are:
1.like Carol, it starts out in the 1950s
2.like Carol, it involves a relationship in a time when women often didn't feel free to express same-sex attraction without being judged – so there's a lot of subtlety thrown in for understanding.
3.like Carol, there is an important letter sent from one woman to the other in the film.
4.like Carol, a strong love is eventually shown in the film, which is very tender and sweet. Eventually, Jeanine Deckers excepts her true self and her love for Annie. The key word here is love.
5.like Carol, there is joy depicted in the relationship. We see them smile, hold hands, and kiss.– – But unlike Carol, there is much more back story to this film, and we get to see more of what makes the characters who they are, and why they loved each other in the first place. It is this back story which you seem to object to. But I say it makes the scenes where they are together all the more strong and meaningful, knowing what each character went through emotionally to arrive at the conclusion of their love.
6. Also like Carol, the soundtrack and musical score is beautiful and carries the story along, so that the minutes fly by, from start to finish!As for the ultimate end, I never said that was like Carol. But the OP was not requesting carbon copies of CAROL! After all, there isn't one.
After reading your obsessive comments about the absolutely non-lesbian Losing Chase -- and now this -- I'm starting to think that you've got a screw loose.
And after reading your oh so rude reply, I'm starting to think you are a bully. How old are you, by the way? I'm sure you're old enough to be somebody's mother! You should know better than to talk this way on a message board to somebody you don't even know – or even to the people you do know. It's rude.
First of all, you don't own the forum, secondly – I have the right to my own movie tastes. And because I adore that movie, I decided to share it here. No harm done, except on your end – trying make me feel like I have a screw loose! Jerk. And for the record – you're wrong - LOSING CHASE is a lesbian love story. You obviously didn't really read what I explained about it, or else you would agree.
PS.
I notice you didn't correct one of the other posters on this thread who suggested that the film CHLOE was similar to CAROL. It has even less in common with Carol than the films I suggested!! Yet, you didn't even notice. Seems like YOU have a screw loose!
Please excuse typos/funny wording; I use speech-recognition that doesn't always recognize!
