Possession: Ballerina domination scene
TIMESTAMP: 65:00
This scene shows a movie within a movie. Anna tortures a young ballerina while staring sexily into the camera. The child slowly boils over with rage, then starts crying, and then runs away. But goddess Anna remains stern and proud, without a glimmer of guilt.
Anna she explains her apparent cruelty to the video camera (see below). Then our camera zooms out, and you see that Mark watching the ballet class video with us. She looks deeply into the camera and tells Heinrich (holding the camera) that the reason she is with him is that he says “I” for her. Mark realizes that this is why she prefers Heinrich.
It is hard to imagine a more painful revelation. The most hurtful thing a woman can tell her lover is that she prefers another man because he says “I” for her.
Up, your knee!
Your foot, look at your hand.
Tighter stomach. Move back.
Up, your leg.
Up, your knee.
Look at your hand.
Tighten your stomach.
Move back. Your foot.
Do it. Hold it.
Your knee.
Hold it! Hold it.
Keep your shoulders down. Hold it.
Hold. Hold it.
That was very good!
Very, very good.
From now on she’ll know how much righteous anger and sheer will she’s got in her to say: “I, I can do as well, I can be better! I’m the best!” Only in this case can she become a success.
Nobody taught me that. That’s why I’m with you.
Because you say “I” for me.
Because you say “I” for me.
