Paul Wegener- the PIED PIPER OF HAMELIN (1918)

[spouseoftherisingsun]

20 and 21 for the film ask! ✨

Hello 🫂 These two specifically were so hard, offering three picks for each: one Nostalgic, one Niche, one Obvious but Nonetheless True. This is actually me exhibiting so much restraint you have no idea

20. A film where the vibes are immaculate:

Krysar: La Joueur de Flúte d'Hamelin (1986) - The first weird film my best friend brought to me like, "I've never seen this but I read the description and saw some screencaps and this is a You film". It's a Czech stop motion feature adapting The Pied Piper of Hamelin, it really elevates the original folklore into something special imo

Blood Tea and Red String (2006) - Another film my best friend brought to me, essentially a poem as a film. Highly suggest going in blind, just know that there's no dialogue and it has slowburn pacing

The Fall (2006) - Obvious but very, very good pick. Can't recommend highly enough, can recommend to anyone

21. Films with a great needledrop/score/soundtrack:

Grosse Pointe Blank (1997) - Joe Strummer from the Clash is one of my favorite Guys of all time and he was the music guy for this and I love it, it's about a high school reunion and you can tell he had so much fun finding places to drop his favorite throwbacks

The Phantom of the Paradise (1976) - Yet another film my best friend and I found together, also very heavy influence over Guillermo del Toro in terms of style and subject matter, Paul Walker did the music and also cameos as a music producer who's done a deal with the devil, also Jessica Harper from Suspiria (1977) is in it, and um who knew she could sing? God, I love her

Moonlight (2016) - Gorgeous score by Nicholas Brittell, almost picked this for the previous number as well. Same as The Fall, can't recommend highly enough and will recommend to anyone

Also, I almost picked Troy (2004) for this one because it brought us together and also I included it among a bunch of movies the scores of which I studied for a science project in middle school <3 she's always been like this actually 🤔

Fairytales talk: The Pied Piper of Hamelin

The Pied Piper of Hamelin, “Rattenfänger von Hameln”, the Rat-Catcher of Hamelin… A well-known German legend that became quite a popular fairytale (thanks to the Brothers Grimm and Goethe). Retold by both German and English authors, it became the subject of many movies, comic books and novels – a true archetype.

Fascinatingly for a fairytale, this one has a very specific date and place. 1284, in the town of Hamelin/Hameln (a real-life town in Germany, Lower Saxony, you can still visit today) – it is quite unusual, since fairytales usually are located in a faraway country or a mysterious “once upon a time”.

If we recap the original tale: The town of Hamelin suffered from a rat infestation (which was a big thing at the time since rats ate food and soiled everywhere, leading to famine and plague). One day, a strange man came to town, saying he was a rat catcher, and assured the inhabitants of Hamelin he could rid them of all of the rats in exchange of a payment. The townsfolk of course accepted, and the man lured all the rats away thanks to a musical pipe: its music hypnotized the rats, led them to the Weser river nearby (another real-life location) and they all drowned themselves in its water. The town was deeply impressed, but when it came time to pay the piper, they refused to give him what he asked (see variations underneath). The piper was mad with rage, but he still left town since he couldn’t fight an entire city. However, on “Saint John and Paul Day”, aka the 26 of June, the music of the piper was heard through town – except this time it hypnotized the children. All of the adult inhabitants were at church, celebrating the religious ceremony, and all their children are home (130 children in total), unsupervised, went out of town and followed the piper, only to never be seen again.

Only three remained and could tell the adults what happened: a lame child that could not follow quick enough the piper and lost him ; a blind child who was unable to see where the children were going and thus couldn’t follow them ; and a deaf child who was not hypnotized by the music (but still saw what happened).

This is the story as we know it.

It is fascinating to see that the story of the Pied Piper was subjected to a LOT of variations. Truly a lot – it has been reinterpreted a great number of times. The variations however are mostly centered around two main points:

# The reason why the piper was angry with the town tends to change from version to version, though it is always tied to money. These variations also tend to shift the blame on the characters. The most popular versions say that the townsfolk were cheap and greedy, and refused to pay the Piper out of greed (either they refused once the task was done, either they actually never intended to pay him at all and thought he would fail at killing the rats). Others rather say that the Piper was the greedy one, asking for a sum far too great, and the townsfolk paid him less than he asked – this version can even go so far as to claim the Piper was the Devil in disguise and that he willingly set a sum he knew the town could not pay. The oldest of the versions (from the Zimmern Chronicle) actually explains that both sides were somehow wrong/right, because the Piper had asked for a huge sum of money, to which the townsfolk agreed because getting rid of all the rats in town was represented as a huge, time and effort-consuming task. But when the townsfolk saw that the Piper killed all the rats in less than an hour, with magic, and very easily, they decided that paying him the huge sum he asked was disproportionate to the effort. Usually, when exact sums are mentioned, the Piper asks for 1000 guilders, and the mayor, if he pays the piper, pays him 50 guilders (it is incredibly hard to calculate the sum, but roughly imagine you are paid five dollars when you asked for a hundred dollars).

Some versions also explain that the townsfolk were ready to pay him a heavy sum since they thought catching all the rats would be a very difficult task – but when they saw it was done in a few hours, with magic and without any effort or trouble, they decided to pay him much less.

# The exact fate of the children. Again, it depends on if the Piper is depicted as a hero, a villain or a neutral entity. The two most common variations claim that the Piper either made the kids suffer the same fate as the rats, drowning them in the river (this is the villainous version of the Piper, who hurts innocents in his vengeance); or that the Piper led them into a cave which closed behind them and the children were never seen again, their fate remaining ominous and mysterious. A very specific variation claims that the cave the children were led to was magical and actually led to “Siebenbürgen” (aka the German name of Transylvania). Sometimes the Piper sells the kid into slavery, to obtain the money he requested, or he takes the children to the top of the fictional Koppelberg Hill where they are taken away to a “beautiful” magic land.

In a similar way there is a variation as to why exactly the Piper did the kidnapping: some saying that he did so out of personal vengeance, to hurt the townsfolks; other claiming that he rather acted to be “paid”, basically taking the children as a payment for his work since the town refused to give him money. One variation mentions that before leaving, the Piper claims that if the townsfolk will not pay, the debt will fall on the “townsfolk heirs”. A sentence with an obvious double meaning…

Of course, as time went by the tale had a “Disneyification”, the story becoming more child-friendly. Either the children were abused or unhappy with the wicked Hamelin adults, and actually ended up happy and free while living with the whimsical and magical Pied Piper ; either the Piper did not kill or kidnap the children but merely hid them and returned them as soon as the townsfolk agreed to pay him what he asked.

These variations being mentioned, here are a few notes:

# Why the “Pied Piper”? Because “pied” is actually a term referring to the clothes of the Piper. Many modern versions represent him as an ominous, dark figure, but in the tale it was the very opposite. “Pied” is an adjective used for someone who wears multi-colored, clownish clothes. Yep, the Pied Piper is closer to a jester than a dark wizard.

# The fairytale is strongly tied to the old expression “pay the piper”. However the expression itself comes in two variations, both applicable to the story. It is believed that the fairytale is the source of the expression “time to pay the piper”, as in “it is time to pay for your wrongdoings”. Here, the piper is seen as punishing the townsfolk for their greed by taking his “payment” in children – the moral of the story becomes, don’t try to get your way out of a deal, honor your promises. But there is another expression saying “Who pays the piper calls the tune”, which means that paying an employee or an artist what he/she asks gives you full control over their work. Here, the message and moral of the story is that the townsfolk controlled the piper and his strange magic through their deal, and that by not paying him they lost all control over who seemingly was a dangerous magical entity.

# Some variations say that the Pied Piper actually looked like an old woman, despite being male.

# It became common to associate the story with the idea of charisma and leadership. The expression “to follow the Pied Piper” became a term used to refer to people following a charismatic person despite such following leading them to their doom.

# Some versions like to suggest that the rat invasion was caused by the Piper in the first place. After all, a man with the power to control rats appears at the door of a town who just happens to suffer from a rat invasion?

# There is a debate as to the real identity of the Piper: is he a normal man with magic gifts? A sorcerer? A fairy? A demon or the devil?

# One of the most well-known version is the English ballad by Robert Browning, written in 1842. In this version, Browning actually explains what the music’s power truly is: it speaks to those that it targets, and tells them to follow the Piper to access whatever idea of Paradise/Heaven they have.

# And finally here is the most important and troubling fact of them all: the Pied Piper of Hamelin is a real story. Or at least based on real facts. On June 26th 1284, 130 children did disappear from Hamelin. They left town. Historical records do not mention strange pipers, foreign magicians or rat infestations, all of that was build up as a folklore. BUT the same records do say that something visibly took away the children, or lured them out of town, without specifying who or what this was. This event has led to huge historical debates and many theories. But the event did happen, and the street in Hamelin where the children were last seen was called “Bungelosenstrasse”, the “street without drums” – because the law forbids any music or dance in this street  ever since the tragedy – and contained a stained glass memorial representing a multicolored piper leading children away (built in 1300, destroyed in 1660). Hamelin also has a building called the Pied Piper’s House or Rattenfängerhau (Rat Catcher’s House), where an inscription says that 130 children were led out of the town by a multicolored-clothed piper and disappeared after passing near “the Koppen” (a word referring to the hills surrounding Hamelin). However, the house itself was built between 1602 and 1603, several centuries after the incident.

# For the longest time, people believed that the Piper was actually an allegory for Death and that the fairytale was an allegory for a famine or plague epidemic that killed the children – pointing out the presence of rats and the Dance of Death/Danse Macabre/Totentanz motif. However, the rats were actually a late addition to the tale, first mentioned in the 1500s, before the Piper just came suddenly and took the children. As a result many historians believe this theory is wrong. They rather point out other possible reasons for the 1284 disaster: a pagan/heretic sect taking children to the Coppenbrügge forest (which would be the “Koppen kills”) ; the German colonization of East Europe also known as the Ostiesdlung which would have taken people away ; a serial killer ; a Children’s crusade (THE Children crusade started in 1212) or even the “dancing mania” or “dancing plague” which spread through Europe – pointing out that one of these happened in 1237, a large group of children dying after jumping and dancing over 20 kilometers, between Errfurt and Arnstadt.

# Hamelin has a huge tourism industry based on the legend. In 2009 Hamelin held a tourist festival for the 725th anniversary of the children disappearance. It has also a shop with rat-themed merchandise, and an officially licensed “Monopoly Hamelin Edition” with the Pied Piper in it. It celebrates every 26 of June as the “Rat Catcher’s Day”.

1284-Pied Piper of Hamelin

It is rendered in the following form in an inscription on a house known as Rattenfängerhaus (English: "Rat Catcher's House" or Pied Piper's House) in Hamelin:[16]

anno 1284 am dage johannis et pauli war der 26. juni dorch einen piper mit allerley farve bekledet gewesen cxxx kinder verledet binnen hameln geboren to calvarie bi den koppen verloren

(In the year 1284 on the day of [Saints] John and Paul on 26 June 130 children born in Hamelin were misled by a piper clothed in many colours to Calvary near the Koppen, [and] lost)

According to author Fanny Rostek-Lühmann this is the oldest surviving account. Koppen (High German Kuppe, meaning a knoll or domed hill) seems to be a reference to one of several hills surrounding Hamelin. Which of them was intended by the manuscript's author remains uncertain.[21]

Paul Wegener- the PIED PIPER OF HAMELIN (1918)

[pingpongb4ll]

A chainsaw man general headcanon based on my theory.

The pied piper of Hamelin is one of the past incarnations of the control devil. The flute he play wasn’t really magic at all and was just a ploy for Everyone in Hamelin to hide his true nature as the control devil.

Hey, thanks for the request! I really love your theory and it got me thinking about the research spree I went on during lockdown about legends in medieval Europe.

Hope you find this alright :))

Little bit of backstory to who the piper is

The Pied Piper of Hamelin is a character of German legend from the middle ages.

His name originates from the clothes he wore ‘pied’ being a term used to describe the red and yellow garment worn by the piper.

The main story describes him as a rat catcher hired to lure rats away from hamelin using a magical pipe. When the townsfolk refused to pay, he lured the children of the town away using the pipe and is believed to have drowned then just like he had with the rats.

Some stories set him up as a saviour of the town as the rats had been causing a plague to spread.

Headcanons:

The story being set up in a way that shows a lesson about giving what you owe back, could be linked back to the idea of most control coming at a cost.

Abilities like Makima's that allow her to crush targets from a long distance come at quite high conditions most importantly the exchange of one life for another.

During the medieval age most people would have brushed off any unusual behaviour as magical or divine intervention, it would have been very easy for the pied piper if they were an incarnation of the control devil to control the rats (behaviour shown through Makima) or even the townspeople, especially in such a large amount with the tale saying over 100 children followed the piper out of Hamelin that day and pass it off as the instrument used being magical.

Physically there are some similarities between the current incarnations of the control devil (Makima and Nayuta) and the Piper, both Makima and Nayuta have yellow and red ringed eyes while the piper is often shown wearing red and yellow garb. He is also depicted with brown hair and the most recent reincarnation Nayuta is described as having ‘Dark brown hair’.

Devils feeding on humanities fears would make perfect sense for the piper to be the control devil, Stories would have spread throughout towns like crazy after the piper lured away the children from Hamelin, other towns living in fear of whether or not the piper would appear there next.

The piper became a symbol of death throughout time, the control devil would have thrived off this with the continued practice and societal control of religion throughout everyday life in medieval Europe bringing great amounts of fear towards what comes after death as well as the stories own links to religion.

It being believed that the day the children were lured away, all the adults were at church for St John and Paul's day services.
