On boundaries and barriers

In Tangibility Forbidden

The thought of him leaking into her life wasn't a funny one, not even in the distant fictional texting between towers 12 and 11. It wasn't fair for him to keep his boundaries and barriers well into place while she watched hers vanish under the weight of 760 characters or less. Yet, she felt like what happened that night in the company of circumstantial friends was all her fault. Kiss & tell. People will talk, people will ask questions. And so they did. Being under the spotlight is all about context, and this wouldn't have been one for flattery and praise. So as she struggled to keep her pride into place and her mouth shut, he had his laugh afar. "I love your way when you're pushed against the wall." How daring of him to secretly laugh at her expense while well shielded behind his boundaries and barriers. It was coward, she thought. Uncomfortable excitement sat shut on the back seat waiting for the silence to introduce a new topic of conversation. "Pushed against the wall," rang the evil words. "Pushed against the wall," in desirable imagery. Pushed and pushed and pushed, in tangibility forbidden. The night was over in a Bogart & Bacall fashion. It fit, but it didn't suit the isolation of tower 11.

"Dark Passage" trailer (1947)

Her: You won't tell me because you think I'd come there, you think I'd follow you.
Him: You'd be insane to follow me!
Her: Was I insane to pick you up on the road? Was I crazy to let you stay here?
- Bogart & Bacall, "Dark Passage"

Pra quem ficou curioso sobre o filme e quer assistir, procure por "Prisioneiro do Passado" na 2001. É um filme relativamente raro, então se não tiver pra alugar na 2001, difícil imaginar que teria em outro lugar.
É um tipo de noir só pra ver os dois em ação, Bogart e Bacall. :)
Pipoquinha, juntinho... ;)
Não faça essa busca no site da 2001 porque lá só procura entre os filmes à venda, não entre os disponíveis pra locação. E muito filme esgotado no fornecedor -- como é o caso desse -- tem pra alugar. Antes de ir até uma loja da 2001, dá uma ligada antes! Às vezes um filme que não tem numa loja tem em outra.
