I was unaware the Josh Hutcherson fandom wasn’t still thriving already, but I am very excited by the new surge of content

THE AWAKENING OF THE FOREST (1939) by PAUL DELVAUX

In THE AWAKENING OF THE FOREST, DELVAUX draws inspiration from his childhood fascination with the works of JULES VERNE, in which the protagonist encounters an uncharted primordial forest in a scene reminiscent of JOURNEY TO THE CENTRE OF THE EARTH.

The full silvery moonlight illuminates the forest, where primal nude figures cavort, lie down, climb the trees, and play musical instruments. They appear to be in harmony with the trees, embracing them with the leaves in their hair.

The clothed characters from the novel approach the nude revelers. In the left foreground, the professor from the novel, dressed in evening attire and wearing a red tie, is examining a stone.

The male figure behind the professor is DELVAUX'S self-portrait as the protagonist, AXEL, from the book. At the far right of the composition, a woman in a red dress walks alone with her back to the viewer.

The figures do not interact with each other; the scientists, the forest inhabitants, and the mysterious clothed woman are all oblivious of each other.

This image is characterized by a combination of opposing elements, an ethereal light, a distinct perspective, a focus on the nudes, and a still eerie atmosphere, all of which contribute to its bizarre and disturbing nature

Started the day late as I overslept again (my health is still not doing so well), lots of journaling, cleaning and organising, and finishing the last few chapters of my book.

Journey to the Centre of the Earth really is just "Professor Lidenbrock DESTROYS Axel with FACTS and LOGIC"

Journey to the Centre of the Earth (2008)

🎬On a quest to find out what happened to his missing brother, a scientist, his nephew and their mountain guide discover a fantastic and dangerous lost world in the center of the earth.

📝A predictable, silly but enjoyable film. I came across this because Netflix continued to bombard me about their "new release" from 2008! I enjoyed it, would have preferred it to be longer (it felt rushed) and I think a theme park ride based on this film would be great. I would go on it! Watch this if you like an easy going adventure film that the whole family can enjoy. It is not special, I don't have to watch it again, but it is still cheerful and enjoyable, if it makes sense?

Imagine Professor Aronnax, Professor Paganel and Professor Lidenbrock going on an adventure together.

The ADHD in the room would be off the charts.
