Lil Dagover and Conrad Veidt in The Cabinet of Dr. Caligari (1920)

i can't stop thinking about how the relationship between Jones Hall and Conrad Earp is the heart of Asteroid City, how their one and only encounter (that we see) influences the entire film: Conrad writing a play about connection between people and the immediate connection between Jones and Conrad the moment they meet; the character of Augie becoming Jones, and Jones having his heart broken with each performance, a prelude to Jones' heart getting broken after Conrad's death; Jones initially knowing why Augie burns his hand but then doubting his interpretation and looking for an answer and meaning for the play and looking for the validation of the play director, just like he found Conrad's validation after his monologue when they first met; Conrad's play being also about death and grief, a grief that Jones has to perform without fully understanding it until that grief becomes real with Conrad's death, and so Augie and Jones truly become one man grieving the loss of his loved one; the scene with the actress playing the dead wife and the dream that would parallel both Augie and Jones, how they both feel lost and unable to move on, but the wife (and Conrad through the writing of the wife) urges them to move on and find love again; Conrad dying (what if Conrad was always meant to die? what if Conrad was doomed by his own narrative?) and in his death, giving Jones the grief he needs to play Augie and ultimately understand the play.

“use your grief.”

BELLY CONKLIN x CONRAD FISHER 

“the summer i turned pretty” season two, teaser trailer

back when we were still changin' for the better wanting was enough for me, it was enough to live for the hope of it all cancel plans just in case you'd call and say, "meet me behind the mall" so much for summer love and saying "us" 'cause you weren't mine to lose you weren't mine to lose, no

Film based on the novel, The Duel, by Joseph Conrad

NPC appreciation week: day 1 - Curious Village / Diabolical Box

Marjorie and Conrad - Diabolical Box

These two are definitely minor minor characters, BUT I just cant resist the giggle I get seeing other mentor and student duos in the series. Conrad's character profile says Marjorie is his role model and he emulates her in every way! Adorable to see Layton isn't the only one with an eager little duckling following close behind hehe

(plus Marjorie writing popular mystery novels after work! Cute!!)

Your love is bleeding off the pages~

I'm honestly obsessed with reframing dialogue from Asteroid City (the play) as scenes of these two. It is said that Jones Hall "created" the role of Augie Steenbeck, after all.

#WHERE ARE MY DELETED SCENES?! (x)

[sneez]

digital study of a scene from the film eerie tales/unheimliche geschichten (1919) :-)

[quicklings]

obsessed with the way the other prefrontal pis are sO terrible at interacting with conrad. arguably the five worst possible candidates to embark on an adventure with him.

[revenantghost]

Can you imagine taking a tiny, defenseless child, putting them through horrific, inhumane experiments, and then calling him The Punisher?

Anyway, who wants to help me defenestrate Conrad?

[ravenclairee]

I never should have ended things like that. And the fucked-up thing is, I thought I was doing the right thing by you. You... you were going through a lot. But that is no excuse. And I hate the thought of you looking back on the night that we spent here together and regretting what we did. Of couse it hurts to think about that night. But I don't regret it. I don't regret any of the times we were together.
