- Karen, you strike me as someone people would tend to trust. I’d like to think I could do the same.
It was really amazing to me to read about how Deborah Ann Woll talks about Karen’s emotional state. and her unhappiness - and the fact that she isn’t always thinking about it but that she, as an actress thinks about the triggers Karen would have. She said that she didn’t have anything to add to the backstory - but that she did contribute on how Karen would react to it. in the ‘if this is what happened, then this is how i think it would affect karen and how it would make her react.’
it was amazing because i have thought about this too, in two very specific instances., and both times she was talking to Frank. In the hospital, when he says ‘it was my job to keep them safe and i failed’, and at the waterfront scene, when he talks about the memory of Franky drawing that marine on the wall. And the way she reacted, knowing that up there from the interviews, cant have been coincidental or random, right? I mean, she thought this through, it was supposed to be organic.
And it means something because both times she plays Karen as immediately overwhelmed - and though the second time it can be attributed to the empathy and care she feels for Frank, which makes her react to his pain rather than her own, the first time that’s not there, cause she didn’t know him yet. But she was visibly shaken by his words. So much so that she needed to take a moment, to step out, pull herself together. And I really think that this relates to the way she personally feels. That kind of responsibility for whatever happened, probably to her brother. That kind of feeling Frank talks about - the shame, the loss, the immense guilt of having failed someone who counted on you so much. I think that’s what she feels too. And that probably the situation with her past mirrors Franks loss in some way. Or reminds her of it, idk.
Save the boy who sees the blood inside him. The forest. How it means: shadows
learning to breathe again—the disgraced light here. It means all these branches are clotheslines
where nothing hangs anymore.
— Michael Wasson, from “Self-portrait as 1879–1934,” published in Kenyon Review Online

If we can make it to the ground, we’ll take the next chance.
And the next. On and on until we win… or the chances are spent.
