Over the weekend I’ve been lucky enough to get some work down, in other words, binge watch multiple movies. One of them was Greald’s Game. A very well orchestrated movie to see the least. Opening with a man smiling lovingly as he handcuffs his wife to a bed at their vacation home. We can tell immediately that not everything is going smoothly in these lovers’ relationships, but only looks like a road block that can hopefully be fixed with some Viagra. With early overhead shots, Flanagan reveals that Gerald packed handcuffs, and he plans on using them. When things start to get a little too weird for the wife, she tries to call it off. Feeling very objectified. “Uncuff me and we can talk,” she says. He replies, “What if I won’t?” This threat doesn’t pay out, however, because Gerald has a heart attack, dropping dead right on top of her. She pushes his body off, and realizes the sheer horror of her predicament, handcuffed to a bed, too far away for anyone to hear her screams. What will Jessie do?
