Born 100 years ago today: Indian actor Sabu (Sabu Dastagir, 27 January 1924 – 2 December 1963). The doe-eyed and beauteous Sabu is particularly notable for being perhaps the sole Asian and Muslim major celebrity of Golden Age Hollywood. As with Chinese American star Anna May Wong in the twenties and thirties, the prejudiced dictates of the era limited the types of roles Sabu could play (in the Production Code there could be no hint of interracial romances depicted onscreen, for example) and he continued to portray “primitive” child-of-the-Islands stereotypes well into his thirties. (This is not meant as a diss on Sabu – he performed these parts with genuine aplomb and innate dignity). His most celebrated films include The Thief of Bagdad (1940), The Jungle Book (1942) and Black Narcissus (1947) but perversely, my favourite is camp classic Cobra Woman (1944) starring "the Caribbean Cyclone" Maria Montez – perhaps because Sabu cavorts in little more than a loincloth throughout. Sadly, Sabu died aged just 39 of heart disease.

My observations playing 'The Last Guardian' for the first time
The stained glass eyes make The Nest like a surveillance prison. Big Brother is watching you.
Inspirations for The Nest – I Carceri by Piranesi, Nineteen Eighty-Four, Kung Fu Panda, Avatar.
I showed footage of the game to an art historian and he said the architecture looked like it was inspired by Indian temples, Angkor Wat and Palenque. Piranesi was supposedly inspired by Roman ruins with vines and trees growing over them.
There's a noise the boy makes when he’s climbing that sounds exactly like Link when he lands from too great a height in Ocarina of Time.
Movies Fumito Ueda might have been inspired by -
The Jungle Book – Mowgli is raised by wolves and needs to get back to the man-village, King Louie's lair is an Indian temple ruin.
The Neverending Story - Falkor
The Rescuers Down Under – the runway scene
Kung Fu Panda – the prison
Avatar - outdoor areas of The Nest make me think of Pandora, Toruk (the flying creature).
Movies inspired by The Last Guardian -
Jumanji: The Next Level – the apparatus in the scene with the apes. The Last Guardian is also referenced in the first movie when the poster for the game is shown on someone’s wall.

I was just thinking about how the sweet life of Zack and Cody had that indian spinoff and like imagine if the yellowjackets had one and it was in the jungle and instead of finding a cabin they made shelter like...
The vibe would be completely different
