Celebration Part One -Some Kind of Paradise

[nuit2005]

Author: Nuit and Fourleaf Clover

Rating: Adult

Disclaimer: I certainly didn’t invent Steven Shaw or Joe Byrne of course. These are pure wild imaginings for which no one would pay me, even if I asked them. Apologies to David Storey for borrowing his difficult and emotionally restrained character. Joe I think is used to me taking liberties (ha!)

This is wonderful. I really liked how it was quite muddled in his thoughts and his uncertainty. I would never have thought of Joe as being uncertain in his own environment. I am commenting on both chapters here so I hope that is OK but I loved how he became more solid in himself and that he gave her something good.

I am looking forwards to reading more..

Nuit and I have had discussions in the past about this subject. For obvious reasons the film never lets us know why Joe speaks Cantonese, has such close ties with the Chinese community yet the fact that he was an opium addict must have had a big impact on his life, his behavior, so to me this was a major omission. Anyway, I'm rambling;) Wonderful interpretation of his experience and a fantastic way to bring two characters (with SS I mean) together. See you both in part II.
