Raw Dogs 71 - Castlevania Retrospective pt. 2: Castrato of Dimensions

Growing up is hard to do.  The Castlevania series is at a crossroads and is making the difficult jump to the 3d generation of gaming with great success and awkward failures.  

In part 2 of our Castlevania Series, we discuss Castlevania Bloodlines, Symphony of the Night, Legends, Castlevania 64, Legacy of Darkness, Circle of the Moon, and Harmony of Dissonance.

The dream team converges with Igarashi, Yamane, and Kojima.  Metroidvania is born and reigns supreme!

The Wonder, Sebastián Lelio (2022)

（短評）映画『聖なる証』

（引用元）

『聖なる証』（2022年、英国、原題：The Wonder）

4ヶ月もの間絶食で生き続ける少女の真相を究明するために、観察者として1人の看護師が少女のもとに派遣される❤️‍🩹

信仰心に対して科学的思考や合理性で向き合うことで生じる歪み、信仰が抑圧となりうる欺瞞性を描いた挑戦的な映画‼️

フィクションであることをメタ的に利用した表現も👌

冒頭から映画の撮影セットと現実世界からのナレーションで始まり、驚かされます😧

そのままシームレスに映画の世界に入り込む演出は映画全体の＂フィクション＂や＂嘘＂がもたらす意味を内包する構造にもなっており、独特で非常に面白いです‼️

信仰が作りごとと表裏一体だという意味にもとれる💨

映像が豊かで、土地の空気感すら感じるような印象を持ちましたが、それもそのはず、撮影監督は『パワー・オブ・ザ・ドッグ』と同じアリ・ウェグナーという人でした🎥

主演のフローレンス・ピュー、力強さと危うさを兼ねた主人公を見事に演じていたと思います‼️

思ってたより、かなり見応えある映画💨

〜〜〜〜〜〜〜〜〜〜〜〜〜〜〜〜〜〜〜〜

印象的だったのは、筒型聴診器が登場したことです‼️

1800年代半ばの物語なので、まだ現在の形の聴診器ではなく、ラッパみたいな形な��ですよ🎺🩺

これが映画に登場するのを初めて観たので、医師としては興味深かったです🤔

こういう美術もキッチリしてると嬉しいですよね🌟

🟢🟢Cannabis Wars: The Incredible True Story of the Medical Cannabis Underground🟢🟢 by ✍Tom Wegner

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ #Marijuana Early into his 40s, Tom Wegner received the one piece of #news everybody #fears; his father was #diagnosed with #cancer. Just like that, Wegner’s life course evaporated: One day he was living the life of a #hotshot #political campaigner, and the next he became the only caregiver for a #terminal cancer #patient. The attempts to alleviate his father’s constant pain were Wegner’s first steps into the #absurd, wonderful, mind-boggling world of #medical #cannabis. Cannabis Wars chronicles not only Wegner’s experiences with the medicinal herb, but the #story of an entire movement that spurred out to fight for patients’ rights while facing bloody red tapes and stone-faced #bureaucracy.

Raw Dogs 70 - Castlevania Retrospective pt. 1: Barbarians Never Skip Leg Day

Castlevania is awesome.  We have badass barbarians, gothic f-boys, movie monsters, and some of the best music in gaming.

On part 1, we deep dive into the early days and discuss the glorious NES trilogy, the Game Boy adventures, Super Castlevania IV, and Rondo of Blood.  We also speculate on workout regiments and whether or not, birds are in fact real!

What, in your opinion, are the best and worst "modern" attempts to create new Pulp Heroes?

I’ve gone on a bit on the ones I think are the best modern attempts, the successes that should be studied to anyone who wants to write a pulp hero. Hellboy is easily the most successful of them by a large margin. Alan Moore’s done some incredible work with pulp heroes on Tom Strong and Night Raven. Venture Bros is one of my top 3 tv series and it did a lot of incredible things with pulp-based characters. Matt Wegner’s Grendel is a great example of a modern day Fantomas. Netflix’s 2021 Lupin series I’d also strongly recommend. There’s others I could mention, or other examples of media that people call pulp, but off the top of my head, based on original or modern characters only, those are the ones I’d mention. Dan Schkade’s Lavender Jack is the one I think provides the strongest baseline, in how it created an instantly timeless, appealing character and world built from the past but very clearly minded to the future, which I think is not just far more interesting than just retreading past tropes, but it’s also much more in keeping with the spirit of the pulp heroes in their inception. These characters were never supposed to be stuck in “retro” trappings. 

In that regard I don’t actually have much bad to say about “modern” attempts to create new pulp heroes, because by and large I think creating new pulp heroes is a good thing that should be done more often, and it’s largely the modern stories with the “old” pulp heroes that I find frustrating. “Bad” modern pulp heroes are usually just ones who soulless imitate the old ones or just have nothing to do with them besides superficial designs, and those ones largely don’t succeed in the slightest. 

For some of the “modern” pulp heroes I don’t like: While it’s a good comic made by people with an excellent industry record, I’m not a fan of Matt Fraction’s Adventureman. Every flashback sequence in it focusing on the “old” Adventureman is a pulp pastiche written by someone who's either never read a pulp story or is intentionally overplaying it for comedy. Fraction’s made it clear that his appreciation for pulps is ironic at best and it’s clear in the comic that the “pulp” side of it is just kitschy visuals he applied as a hook a story that’s got nothing to do with them. It’s quippy, obnoxious, every character talks the same, and the most genuinely appealing part of it to me (protagonist is a deaf single mom) hasn’t factored into anything, since the protagonist got “cured” of her disability and separated from her kid.

Brubaker’s Incognito was pretty lackluster past the middle, in fact it lost steam partially because it shied away from it’s central conceit and started going deeper and deeper into it’s pulp inspirations, which just made for shoddy storytelling, going from a sleek crime story into forgettable nonsense. It’s a perfect example of why the best modern “pulp heroes” or pulp stories are the ones who stop trying to be like the ones of the past, but instead look into their successes and potential as the basis to tell cool new stories.

But I acknowledge that both of these are good comics with great things about them, and there are a lot of “pulp” inspired comics or novels out there who are considerably worse. There’s any number of dumb, boring, derivative “new” pulp stories to pick from, but nobody cares about them, so why should I?

It’s hard to really narrow down a true “worst” modern pulp hero partially because the worst of the “new” pulp heroes tend to be largely forgotten, and people already tend to have different definitions as to what a pulp hero even is so there’s gonna be much more contention than there is for superheroes. 

If you want true awfulness though, the one “modern” pulp or pulp-inspired character I think is absolutely terrible and the worst of the lot, the one that I personally hate the most, I’m sadly going to have to point you to a Brazilian character by the name of Doutrinador (translated officially as The Awakener but that’s not what his name actually means, and I’m not using it. I’m not dignifying this character with a proper translation or whatever “cool” name they gave him overseas).

You know how people talk about the Punisher attracting the worst kind of fan and how the character’s sort of been tainted by that association? How he’s painted as a patched-together homunculi of just the absolute worst and most violent reactionary fantasies, and even though that’s not the reality of most Punisher comics, it’s still so strongly associated with his image that Marvel has to walk on eggshells when dealing with the character? 

Doutrinador is like The Punisher, except played with absolutely zero self-awareness, written intentionally to capitulate to all the trogolodytes who dream of being in a situation where they get to shoot people with impunity. Doutrinador is not just Diet Punisher, he is school-shooter-fantasy Diet Punisher. Frankly I wish I could not consider him a pulp hero, but there’s too many ways his concept intersects with them that I would be hypocritical not to.

Summary of the character: Miguel is a federal agent of the "D.A.E." ( "Special Armed Division"), and a highly trained expert with weapons. After his daughter gets hit by a stray bullet and dies, unable to receive medical assistance due to the hospital's poor infrastructure, he begins a personal journey of vengeance, and assumes the identity of a masked vigilante. The "Awakener" decides to do justice with his own hands exterminating politicians and businessmen of corrupt construction firms. His biggest goal is to fight a gang of politicians and bandits who took the lead in Brazilian politics, and began to govern the country thinking only of their own interests.

On paper this just sounds like a generic superhero backstory, with the most promising part of it being the fact that he’s purposefully targeting corruption, as it was corruption (underfunded public hospitals) that led to the death of his daughter. The execution on the film itself is already terrible, to start off. It’s badly acted, poorly paced, the fight scenes are brisk and shoddily edited, and the writing is poor at best when it isn’t insulting.

Where as in the film, the character targets fictional, cartoonishly one-dimensional evil politicians, the original comics had the character actively killing or torturing real politicians, like ex-president Dilma Roussef and senator Renan Calheiros. In the comics, the character was said to be a 50-to-70 year old man, whose backstory stated he had been active during the military dictatorship period of Brazil. And in case you don’t know what that is, please just look it up. Better yet, look up the death tolls of people who were tortured and killed during it, to say nothing of the Native genocides, or the fact that our current president was a well-known torturer during this period. I have friends with family members who were tortured during this period or outright killed, and there’s a lot of people active in Brazilian politics nowadays who either deny the dictatorship happened, or actively want to bring it back, with a shocking amount of public support behind it.

The comics never condemn any of this, they just state that this is part of the character’s background. I cannot stress enough how this is possibly the absolute worst backstory they could have possibly given this character short of him being an outright Nazi, and they changed it for the film with good reason. 

The movie does an incredibly poor job at making him sympathetic even before he becomes the Doutrinador. He openly disdains his job as an officer when it doesn’t provide him the action he seeks, even when his daughter greatly looks up to him. He’s a divorced cop who begrudingly shares custody of his daughter with his ex, and when he’s with her, we see him being negligent, even ignoring her dietary restrictions (which isn’t nearly as minor of a problem as you might think it is, those can and will kill people if not paid proper attention to, it’s actual child abuse to ignore them). His daughter dies when, contrary to the insistence of her mother, he takes her to a soccer game and she gets shot. And the minute his daughter dies, one melodramatic sequence later, he’s immediately getting to work torturing and murdering a governor. 

Brutish, crass, misogynistic and cruel, he frequently abuses his authority when dealing with his one partner, and although the movie is painted by it’s fans as “morally dubious”, all of it’s attempts to question the protagonist’s morality are perfunctory at best, merely set-ups to be dismissed when he inevitably does something cool and gory that we’re supposed to cheer. The movie is not at all ambiguous about it’s worship of the titular character and the morality he embodies, it’s just not well-written or thoughtful enough to explore it in any meaningful or interesting way.

(And aparently this is what the current comics of the character are about. “The Red Virus”. Oh, fun fact, you look up at the character’s current publishers, and the first thing you’ll see is that they are boasting about publishing Chuck Dixon’s Alt Hero. Fun.)

If this is all starting to sound like Doutrinador is a political comic, it’s not. Even if I somehow agreed with the politics that it’s very clearly endorsing, even if it’s not gutsy enough to say them outloud, I would not like this comic, because it’s not a political comic. It’s very clear that the creator wants it to be, but to call it a political comic implies that the comic has any point to make, that it has anything resembling a discussion of political views, that any brains thought about what sort of relevance or power this character could have had. But there’s none here, this is just murder porn. If Doutrinador was an American character, by now he’d be gunning down Asian businesses to stop Covid zombies and bashing AOC’s face against a window after she would cackle about secretly infecting college campuses with them. It’s not a political comic, it’s politics as set dressing to play out violent revenge fantasies.

Doutrinador also pisses me off personally because this is a character so rotten, his very existence poisons the well of everything he’s related to. The argument that pulp heroes and superheroes are fascist power fantasies at core, that they are just jackbooted thugs in colorful suits with no room for humanity or kindness, an argument I vehemently reject and will argue in length against, only has a leg to stand on because of characters like Doutrinador. Because of people that support this character, who find themselves vicariously enjoying in him all the stuff they also wanted Batman and The Shadow and Punisher and Rorschach to do. Because of the argument that he’s just like them, except he says the quiet parts out loud. 

It’s not any more “right” of an argument than arguing Homelander or Plutonian or any of a billion evil Supermen out there, whether played intentionally or not, are just like the real deal except they say the quiet parts out loud, but there’s a kernel of truth in those characters, something they do that picks at the real underpinnings of the real deal, that makes them uncomfortable, that makes you look at the originals a little differently. I’d argue Doutrinador could very well be one of most extensive and painstaking teardown of the Dark Avenger archetype ever made in that everything he does seems to be an argument as to why those characters suck, except for one, he’s not, there’s been countless better ones that were far better written, and two, that’s giving too much credit to this piece of shit character.

So yeah, that’s part of why I’d argue Doutrinador is the worst. The worst in terms of quality, because the film and comics are genuinely terrible, and the worst in general, because nothing about this character is salvageable. I cannot separate him from the other pulp heroes he loosely takes after, even if he’s ultimately a superhero, even touted as the star of “Brazil’s First Superhero Film”.

And I hate everything about that so goddamn much.

lgbtq+ movies for pride🌈

🎬🎬🎬

1. They Way He Looks Directed by Daniel Ribeiro, with Fábio Audi and Ghilherme Lobo

The Way He Looks, or Hojo Eu Quero Voltar Sozino, is a brazillian coming of age movie about Leo, a blind teenager looking for some semblance of freedoom, his best friend Giovana and Gabriel, a handsome classmate who attracts Giovana’s attention and also happens to be insatiably curious about how Leo lives. The movie is lighthearted for the most part, and gracefully relaxed in a way that you wouldn’t expect a movie with this sort of premise to be. 

The way He Looks is endearing and truly nuanced in it’s portrayal of lgbtq+ teenagers - a lot more so than many of the lgbtq+ movies we get nowadays. The plot is both likeable and something very new and the movie definitely explore uncharted territory when it comes to the portrayal of sexuality, disabilities and particularly a rarely looked at mixture of the two. 

🎬🎬🎬

2. The Danish Girl Directed by Tom Hooper, with Eddie Redmayne and Alicia Vikander

The Danish Girl is a truly heartbreaking movie, and yet it is full of hopeful undertones. It follows Gerda and Einar Wegner, two artists and husband an wife. The movie starts with Gerda, who asks her husband to pose as a female model for a new painting she’s making, and in a twist of events this triggers Einar’s long suppressed issues about self and identity to resurface. I know a lot of people who didn’t enjoy The Danish Girl, as you may or may not have guessed I am not one of them. 

The movie tells the real-life story of Einar Wegener, - an artist who also happens to be the first known person to undergo a sexual reassignment surgery in the early 20th century, renaming herself Lili Elbe. The movie isn’t perfect, albeit beautifully short and perfectly cast the movie sometimes seams to be playing it too safe particularly for a film that could be so much more daring, but it does what it’s looking to do - presenting a beautiful, sad, and yet inspiring and realistic story about a women the public has lost as time has passed.

3. Love, Simon Directed by Greg Berlanti, with Nick Robinson and Katherine Langford

I had to put Love, Simon on  this list, not only because i enjoyed it immensely but also because I think this is one of the first truly mainstream lgbt movies out there. It isn’t made for the oscars or the awards or to be enjoyed by just those that indulge in the indie film genre, it is simply a rom com just like any other - just with two boys. It follows Simon Spier, his friends, and an anonymous boy Simon has fallen in love with over email.

The movie is cliche at parts, like most rom coms are, full of voiceover and public declarations of love and catchy pop songs synonymous with the genre, but perhaps that’s what the creators were going for and the movie is done in a way that all these already overused tropes still feel new and fresh and only make the movie more enjoyable. It deviates slihgtly from it’s source material - Becky Albertalli's YA novel Simon vs. the Homo Sapiens Agenda - but the movie has already established itself as a modern classic of lgbt movies, the coming of age genre and the rom-com genre.

4. Brokeback Mountain Directed by Ang Lee, with Heath Ledger and Jake Gyllenhaal  

The other day I asked a friend of mine what he thought of this movie and he replied with the words “The gay cowboy movie right? Yeah, it’s pretty good.” In truth, Brokeback Mountain is so much more than just a ‘gay cowboy movie’ - the move is about forbidden love and the themes and concepts the movie follows can be applied to any type of forbidden love story, be it girl and girl or two people from warring families or opposing religions. The true beauty of Brokeback Mountain is that it’s story can applied to each of these premises, and still make for a heart warming, beautiful film. 

The movie follows Ennis and Jack - two shepherds who develop a relationship both sexual and emotional, despite both eventually getting married to their respective girlfriends. It’s a friendship turned secret romance, and it makes you happy and sad all at once, everyone is a victim, everyone is hurting, and yet the movie is tragic in a heartwarming way. The performances are great and in true Ang Lee fashion the scenery is incredibly beautiful, but the real beauty lies in the movie’s tragic yet oh so plausible story. 

🎬🎬🎬

5. Blue Is The Warmest Colour  Directed byy Abdellatif Kechiche, with Adèle Exrchopoulos and Léa Seydoux

In his review of the movie, renowned film critic, Roger Ebert writes, “While there have been plenty of movie romances not unlike this, there's never been one told in such an ambitiously immersive way” and I believe that these lines perfectly sum up what makes Blue Is The Warmest Colour, or La Vie D’Adèle if you use the french name, so great. The movie follows Adéle, a french teenager, who forms a deep connection with Emma, an older art student, who she met at a lesbian bar.

Much like The Danish Girl, I know quite a few people who haven’t liked this movie, I disagree. It’s a 3 hour long movie that captures the coming of age and sexual awakening of  it’s protagonist fairly well. The plot isn’t completely straight forward and expected, instead it takes you surprising places, and in true french film fashion the movie is absolutely beautifully shot. I would caution this movie though, because even along side movies like Brokeback Mountain and The Danish Girl, Blue Is The Warmest Colour is depressing at many points, but the movie is captivating and heart breaking in, at most times, a good way.
