Currently rereading this french scifi book that's all about a bunch of medievalish people building this absurdly high cathedral (and by 'high' i mean that none of the living human in this book ever got out of what they call the cathedral and touched the actual ground)in an attempt to reach God but then the big plot twist is that the ruling class are actually a bunch of almost immortal alien beings who accidentally crashed on Earth during the actual Middle Ages, need to be at a certain height to launch their rocket and go back to their planet and therefore used the people's faith and whatever ingineering they had at this point to reach their goals, not caring that it would take centuries and centuries because it's litterally just a few hours for them and honestly this could be such a cool movie, somebody please adapt this thing right now

#i'm kinda really drunk so maybe it sounds a bit stupid but believe me when i say that it was actually insane in the best of way #i was like 10 or 12 yo when i first read this thing (it's actually a kid book amusingly enough)#and to this day that scene when the mc talks to that one noble girl he had a bit of a crush on who turned out to be an alien being all like #'generations and generations of my people devoted their whole lives and souls to building this cathedral. does it mean nothing to you?'#and she's just like. 'tbh not really. your whole life is nothing but a few minutes for us. but it *is* convenient'#like wow #amazing metaphor for quite a few things tbh #didn't really picked up on that as a kid but I *did* noticed how much i loved the mix of medieval and scifi aesthetic tho #adapt this as a movie instead of remaking the same bs movies for the tenth times you bunch of cowards!!#it could be so good!!#i don't even like him but cast timothee chatelet or whoever you spell his name as the mc #florence pugh as his actual love interest and zendaya as the noble alien girl he likes (or the other way around i don't even care tbh)#there you go it's gonna be a sucess based on that alone
