#The Far East

[indigokashmir]

1920s Style

This tale follows Dr Walter, who marries the enchanting Kitty, only to discover her infidelity. As he navigates life's challenges, he embarks on a journey to China to combat a devastating disease plaguing a village. This cinematic adaptation is inspired by W. Somerset Maugham's novel.

If you're a fan of 1920s aesthetics, then this film is a splendid choice. It delves into the intricacies of human differences, the triumph over adversity, and the acceptance of our unique personalities. However, do brace yourself, as this is a poignant yet sensually restrained and beautifully crafted cinematic experience.

Isn't it truly fascinating how a film's aesthetics can transport us to a bygone era, immersing us in the essence of that time? This is the magic of creative minds and those who dare to think beyond the conventional boundaries.

Behind the scenes.

We found the movie to be even more captivating than the original novel, with particular admiration for the cinematography and the exquisite depiction of Dr. Walter's rural Chinese residence. The creative genius behind the production design is none other than the Australian talent, Peta Lawson.

As per Ms. Lawson's website, she boasts extensive experience in film and movie production design. A graduate of the 'Sydney College of the Arts,' Lawesom has been at the forefront of creativity in numerous Australian feature films, television movies, mini-series, and TV shows. Her talents have also graced international productions from France, Germany, China, and, of course, Australia.

Fortunately Kioto is a city so marvellously interesting in itself as to require no adventitious aid wether of Exhibitions or otherwise. It has a thousand charms all its own and to the artist, the antiquary or the lover of nature, there a few, if any, cities in or out of Japan, which can excel it.

The Kioto Exhibition (From the Japan Gazette Special Correspondent) 15th March, 1873

“As was the case last year, the Kioto Exhibition of 1873 was opened without any ceremony whatever. The doors were opened about 8 o'clock on the appointed day, Thursday, 13th inst.; the weather being about as disagreeable as ever Dame Nature permits it to be in these favoured regions. It was decidedly chilly and we were experiencing that, with us comparatively rare phenomena, a fall of snow.”

People be like "Russia is not imperialistic"🤡 - and then the most famous Ukrainian chef cannot open a restaurant of the most famous Ukrainian cultural food in Japan, because Japanese widely consider borscht a Russian dish and so would avoid the restaurant thinking it to be Russian🫤🫤🫤🤯🤯🤯

after making my roommate rewatch jjba with me now in retaliation she’s making me watch one piece with her (SHES DOWN TO REWATCH THE WHOLE THING, CERTIFIED INSANE WOMAN) and let me tell you. i legit cannot watch long series without watching with someone else because it’s just way more fun to watch with someone. i need to constantly commentate on the stupid bullshit happening i guess

Golden Hour (+ lineart below cut)

I took a picture of the lines for once and did some basic crappy photo editing on my phone, so you could probably print this out and use it as a coloring page or something if you so wish lol. Do with it what you will.

I was taking a break to reread something chill and fun, and immediately ran into more meat for the earlier discussion of Tolkien’s depiction evil in the north vs evil in the east. There is no escape! This is a good addition from an Old Norse (rather than my Old English-slanted) perspective! But also JRR I’m begging u to let me live ,

(Children of Ash and Elm by Neil Price, p. 37-8)

Edit to addd: I cropped a bit too much; it’s worth noting that Jötunheim (giant-world(s)) lay directly east, with this beyond.

How cool is it that so many people across both hemispheres got to witness something usually reserved for a much smaller area all because the sun is throwing a huge tantrum right now. Just throwing out huuuge amounts of energy and our planet is like cool lets make pretty colours in the sky with that. Thats called turning a negative into a positive on a celestial scale 😌. We should be more like Earth lmao
