I’m sobbing in the airport rn. Because they brutalized our bodies and stole our minds. But never our spirit, you can never have my soul. Rest In Peace Ethel Cain, long live the daughters of Cain
@@skilxrd1203 Ethel Cain, is a character Hayden Anhedönia created for her music. Her album Preachers Daughter is the story of Ethel Cain about how her lover died, met another man who died aswell, and then met Isaiah, who pimps her out, drugs her and locks her in a basement, then murders and cannibalizes her.
ok so the visuals for this literally pop in my head every time i hear this masterpiece; 0:00 to 1:31, slow shutter speed footage of Ethel frantically running through a dimly lit forest, getting caught by branches, imagine snow white but even more deranged. 1:32, Bright flashlight shining on Ethel,her eyes wide and terrified. Isaiah found her. 3:02, the last strike
I truly hope Hayden didn't have to watch August Underground or any of that trilogy more than once. They broke me. And I have a high tolerance for films like that but seriously they make the Saw movies look like Sesame Street, they make Henry: Portrait of a Serial Killer look like Mr. Rogers.
No they don't, stop making them out to be more than they are. Based on your comparisons, I doubt you've even watched the movies, just another online fantasist.
@@jamesbrannon5099 yes they actually do, unless you are someone who is super super desensitized to the depiction of extremely graphic on-screen violence and gore and insanely transgressive acts. If you disagree it's because you live in a niche bubble of this type of cinema. The general public are obviously gonna feel differently than someone who is a conoisseur of this stuff.
I really love those "refections" (?) that make it look like there's two girls or that there is a ghost and the white light. I don't think these are random details in this specific transition
...что слишком сознавать - это болезнь, настоящая, полная болезнь. To be acutely conscious is a disease, a real, honest-to-goodness disease. ~ Notes from Underground [1864] Fyodor Dostoevsky
Oh god I think this represents her soul being trapped, and I think those lights are the police. ☹️ if we didn’t have Televangelism I’d probably shit myself.
Before I listened to all of Preacher's Daughter, I thought August Underground was the end of the whole album. It would have been unbearably bleak, maybe too bleak even for Ethel.
@Ethel Cain I work with the company who made August Underground. Fred (the director) is my mentor. I recently discovered your music and love it. Toetag is a Pittsburgh based company and I know you're based here too. Hit me up if you'd like to meet Fred some time!
@@sophiaako7663 because nothing was ever made like it at the time. Wanted to shock the world. Also wanted to show what real violence looks like rather than the cartoonish violence of Hollywood. Real violence is disgusting and in your face.
Wondering if she is influenced by Black Tape for a Blue Girl?. Not completely original but executed with precision. About all you can ask. I love her regardless. 🖤
