Thank you. :) Your icon is clapping in time to the remix I'm listening to. It's hyponotizing.
You nailed a lot of what I was getting at with this vid. Joanie's whole life has been controlled by men in some way, shape, or form. Her father, Cy, society, and so on. The same can be said for every other woman on Deadwood, like Alma, Trixie, Martha, even Jane to a certain extent. The other lead females have more outward, obvious, and seeable attributes, while Joanie is portrayed as the weakest female, with more internal characteristics. Alma, Trixie, Martha, and Jane have tangible traits, such as power, strength, intelligence, ingenuities, skills, while Joanie has inner hope to a degree. She trusts and wants so badly to do so that she often makes appears rather naive and ends up extremely disappointed and desperate. She lives most of her life in a quiet level of fear. Most vids focus on Alma or Trixie because they are easier to identify with (and those vids have been amazing). Most people see Joanie as weak and stupid for her mistakes. This is of course, my own personal reading.
In my vid I want to show Joanie as a product of the time, trapped by the constraints of men and the limitations placed on her by them and herself. She continually makes the same mistakes because she doesn't see other options. In the end, it's her relationship with Jane that allows her to feel safe and comfortable. Jane is her equal with only the boundaries they place on each other.
i have vid rambles, let me show you them
