[dragon-of-the-night]

I saw this meme a while ago, and have felt the urge ever since to Caligari-fy it.

The Cabinet of Dr. Caligari by Avalensch

[sixty-silver-wishes]

anyway if you're as weirdly invested in these barely dimensional characters as I am, this scene will give you at least a bit of emotional damage

Alan we both love her

I LOVE HOW HE GRABS HIS HAND GODDDDD

We'll leave the choice up to her

But whomever she chooses, we shall remain boyfriends...

They should've kissed here just saying

Asylum Buddies :3

Franzis

23 years old

Jittery most of the time, always on edge

Thinks he’s sane, but really far from it

Fears Cesare, adores Jane

The most uncooperative patient in the asylum; refuses to engage with doctors (thinks they are plotting something against him)

Pretty talkative out of the three

Occasionally tries to escape the asylum (he always fails)

Keeps his distance from Cesare, though Cesare finds him quite interesting (again much to Franzis’ dismay)

Jane

20 years old

Quiet, maybe cold

Holds herself in high regard; quite vain

Doesn’t talk much (chooses not to associate with ‘peasants’)

Holds zero affection towards Franzis

Hard to read

Can be cooperative if treated like royalty (calling her ‘Your Majesty’ or ‘Your Highness’; helps make sessions with her easier)

Enjoys tea quite a lot

Cesare

23 years old

Polite, quiet

Enjoys flowers and other soft things

Sleepwalks

Wants to befriend Franzis (much to Franzis’ dismay)

Might have a sweet tooth

Probably the most well-behaved patient

Out of Franzis and Jane, Cesare has been in the asylum the longest

Spends the majority of his time in the asylum garden

((This film has a strong hold on me; HELP))

Caligari's been on the brain lately, and since I keep seeing talks about remakes and theoretical recasting--I'm kind of curious to see if anybody on Tumblr has any ideas. For fun, here's some actors who I think could make for an interesting Cesare;

Tom Sturridge (Able to convey sad wet and pathetic with a dash of menace perfectly)

Dev Patel (Imo he conveys a level of kindness I think he could imbue into the role. Idk I'm just curious to see his take on it)

Lee Joon Gi (Could match the physicality needed. Could ALSO emotionally stomp my heart into the dirt at the tragedy of it all.)

Doug Jones (he NEEDS a second chance!!)

And it doesn't even have to be just casting--I'm very curious to see how people on here would approach the aesthetics or the story with a new lens!
