  <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_FpRKduOTFQ&amp;t=295">4:55</a> People don&apos;t talk about this enough. The bike wasn&apos;t even broken, just a flat tire. This rich dude caved at the mildest inconvenience and decided to be late to class. In reality, there is a bike shop 4 minutes away from the campus, he could have bought a new bike in minutes. Oliver had found the perfect guy to manipulate, and pretending to be downtrodden is their common denominator.

  as a 4&apos;11 girly i can say that at some point, the neck pain from looking up at a tall person overrides any possible crush

  If the final scene, after oliver’s lil dance, was him hearing noise behind him, and then saying « took you long enough » and they revealed farleigh standing there with a smirk, and flashbacked to showing us they were in on it together the whole time, i would’ve been sold

  It wasn&apos;t drinking the bath water that was as disgusting to me, it was the tonguing the bacteria-laden drain. I&apos;ve earned my red wings in bed, but NOT LIKE THAT!

  I think the movie tells us that Oliver is a liar and unreliable narrator from the very first moment, he says he isn’t in love with Felix, but we get those “love shots” that we all know when we see them mean “I am in love with this person” when we first introduced to him. We are told from that, Oliver isn’t to be trusted and that he doesn’t tell the truth.<br><br>I really like how it’s done, cause you just kinda brush it off and are like “well you clearly are in love with him” and don’t really think about the &nbsp;deeper fact that this shows him as a liar and an unreliable narrator. You just think “what a silly little guy, it’s obvious you love him”

  I think Benji’s analysis hits closer to what I assumed about the film, but wasn’t conveyed very well by the film’s writing. I honestly assumed his goalposts kept moving as he kept going further and further into their world and family. He honestly just planned to be Felix’s friend and then use his connections to build wealth and status. But he kept moving his goals as Felix invited him to stay, then introduced him to his family, and so on. Eventually, Felix’s rejection is what actually snowballed his plan into a “well now I can’t have him so I’ll take his wealth and family” and when the mom turns up years later and invites him to stay again, and there’s his solidified “this life that I’ve wanted and believe I’m entitled to belongs to me now.” He wins.<br><br>I think Emerald knows how to give incredible cinematography and tell a compelling story and one that’s very conversational, but so far her movies fail to nail the ending. Promising Young Woman ended with Cassie alerting the police and that’s her “I got the last laugh,” but that ending is going against the film’s own message, which is that the justice system doesn’t support or protect victims, it’s not justice. <br><br>Saltburn ended with something a bit too convoluted and almost hamfisted in a sense, and there were things setup within the story that would’ve made a bigger impact had they played a greater role in the ending. But instead, it’s chalked up to “Oliver was playing them all along and had this grand master plan from the start” which doesn’t really work for me and for others I’ve talked to.

  Oxfam is a charity shop, which sells donated/secondhand clothes. Keep in mind this was 2006 and thrifting wasn&apos;t trendy for rich people yet.

  Oliver switches his plans everytime he got rejected by Felix because he was trying to get him.<br><br>The first time Felix got angry at him and didn&apos;t invite him to the pub, he mades up that his dad died to pull him back in (his mom probably was just calling to get news from her son, nothing more).<br><br>Then when Felix finds out the truth about Ollie&apos;s lies he knows he&apos;s gonna lose him again, prepares the drugged bottle and tries one last time to get him back. When Felix says his ultimate &apos;no&apos; to Ollie, he basically seals his fate.<br>Had things turned a different way I&apos;m pretty sure Oliver wouldn&apos;t have gave him the bottle.<br><br>So yes, Oliver had a plan since the beginning but not necessarily to wipe out the whole family. You cannot trust what he says because he&apos;s an unreliable narrator to this story.<br><br>He was very much in love with Felix, to the point his obsession turned to hate at moments and was eating at him. Hence the violence and anger everytime something doesn&apos;t go his way. He loved Felix up to point he was told &apos;no&apos;, then he turned on him and decided if he couldn&apos;t have him he was gonna have his soul and all his family&apos;s, along with their possessions that made them feel so superior, (most probably hated the family since day one when he overheard them talk crap about him behind his back).<br><br>He&apos;s just an obsessed entitled chaotic person who just relishes on power and how he&apos;s able to manipulate people around him (Venetia, Elspeth...).<br>He had to make Farleigh go away too because he was too persistent and could see right through him.
