This phone call, in both Sister Swaps, is when the sisters commit verbally to swapping. It happens around 23 minutes into each 90 minute movie, which would simultaneously delight and confuse Syd Field since they…you know..clearly have already geographically swapped otherwise the phone call wouldn’t be happening but fuck it. There are two videos here. They’re both from the same moment in the movie(s). The first video is me syncing the beginning of the phone calls. The second video is me syncing the literal “sister swap” moment which the editor rightfully seized upon as god damn adorable – imagine loving your sister so much that you can tell over the phone when she’s initiating a sister swap sidewalk dance. I still can’t tell which sister is which because, as you can clearly see, the “city” is identical to the “country.” To the point where, in each location, one might pass Santa at the same place on the sidewalk. BUT THAT’S A BIG “MIGHT” ISN’T IT FOLKS because can we look at the Santa placements? In one Sister Swap movie, we have a Nexus Santa that each sister passes at the same time. In the other movie, either Santa’s like “whatever” and appears on the other side of only one sister’s sidewalk. City sister or country sister? I don’t know. Here’s the thing that I keep harping on though, and the reason why I’m showing you the split screen synced at two different points: there is no version of this phone call that is the same length as the other. There is no version of this phone call that is, in any arguable way, two “points of view” of the same objective event. These are two completely different universes. These women are having the “same conversation” in both movies but EACH MOVIE IS ABOUT A DIFFERENT PAIR OF WOMEN HAVING THEIR OWN VERSION OF A SAME CONVERSATION. Rashomon my ass. “Point of view” my ass. There is much, much more – or, I would say, equally impressively, much, much less – going on in these movies. We still haven’t finished watching them. We are too busy LOVING THEM TO GET THROUGH THEM, we keep falling asleep asking questions | Posted on 21/Dec/2022 09:45:16
