xenoblade 4: eating people by accident

[ainadelothwen]

OK y'all, just saw Out of Darkness in theatres with Kit Young, and it was really fun. It's out now in the US, coming out February 23 in the UK. Compared to the flashy comic book movies and blockbusters, this was a really nice change of pace. I don't know if I would call it traditional "horror", maybe more survival thriller/suspense? It was a little gory in parts, didn't really have a lot of jump scares - so if you don't normally do horror, you might be able to handle this film. It was brutal, realistic, and raw. All in all, a fun way to spend 90 minutes on a Sunday afternoon.

The language created for the film, Tola, was believable and the actors spoke it really fluently. It was easy to forget this was a made up language!

The acting was solid all around. I thought the story was interesting too and while I didn't like all the characters as people, I empathize and understood their motivations - which made them great characters.

The sound work and music were really great and added a tremendous amount to the suspense and atmosphere. Seeing it in the theatre meant we were treated to the full surround sound speaker experience.

Kit's character Geirr was so different from his other roles and he does a fantastic job; my husband was the one who noted this so it's not just me fangirling. You can see his range and potential; I really hope he continues to get meaty roles to really showcase his talents. (But also, more Jesper Fahey please.)

kinda jarring to think about how the legendary crafting days are coming to an end. gw2 and the spreadsheet are like married at this point, am I supposed to only open just the game from now on?? do I just log in to have fun? no more crunching return to events for mystic coins? and I'll have gold to turn into more character slots? insane.

Some Bjarni (and one Igni, sorry darling, I'll draw you more soon!) and his friends. There is the innkeeper Edda, the one running the baths/sauna, Geirr the shy swamp troll and finally, the super chatty and gossipy dragon. (and a mystery lady)

Updated Liana's look a tad, subject to change when I decide to pick up legendary armor crafting again once I get Klobjarne Geirr crafted.

Also decided to give her horns, adding them to the draconic traits she picks up due to her connection with Aurne/exposure to dragon magic.

So, I've watched Out of Darkness (2022) starring Mr Kit Young himself. 🎬 🎞

Full disclaimer, I hate horror movies, but I watched it anyway cause Kit (yes, it's a good reason). My verdict is that it's more of a thriller than a horror movie, and to my delight, it didn't rely heavily on jump scares.

It's rare to see movies set in the paleolithic era, and I think that's where the true originality of this movie lies. The costumes and props look overall pretty authentic, up to the stitching of the clothes, which I was happy about. It shows that there had been some anthropological research done beforehand.

The made-up Tola language was such an interesting, fascinating aspect to the movie, and all of the actors sounded exactly as if they had spoken it all their lives. They adopted such unique intonation that I even had a hard time recognizing Kit's voice at first. Acting was incredible, from everyone, and from start to finish.

Also, very glad to see an ethnically diverse group of prehistoric humans. Some recent studies tend to show that paleolithic groups were more complex in terms of origins than we might think.  So, props to the casting direction for that.

I also loved how this movie was much more than a slasher and had a true reflexion on what it is, and what it means to be human.  The movie was efficient in presenting the characters and their individual motivations. Each of the six main characters represented different angles of human nature : ego, ruthlessness, innocence, kindness, religious zeal, and determination/weakness. I thought it was such a great way to explore that theme.

It's also a beautifully-shot movie, which shows its Scottish Highlands setting in all its gloomy glory : making it both breathtaking and menacing. No green screen in sight, and you can feel the harshness of the elements piercing through the screen.

Overall, I had a good time, but I'm a sensitive creature, and I was still affected by the movie hours after I was done watching it. Much of it has to do with the character played by Kit.

Character analysis and SPOILERS under the cut :

Kit plays Geirr, a young hunter and the most sympathetic character overall. To no one's surprise, Kit plays him with a lot of nuance.

Geirr is a hunter and a warrior by necessity. He's a gentle, sensitive, artistic soul and the stark opposite to his older brother Adem, the leader of the group, who's proud, selfish, and prone to violent outbursts.

Geirr has a special bond with Beyah, a teenage girl the group picked up "en route". The others still treat her as a stray and an outsider. Geirr, though, accepts her and sees her as being part of their little tribe. He vows to protect and take care of her.

Very few people smile in that movie, but when someone does, it's usually Geirr, and he's smiling at Beyah.

You might think at first that their attachment is a brother-sister or friends type of bond, but something happens that make the viewer understand Geirr's feelings for her extend further than that. While the group is resting after a day of walking the treacherous terrain, Geirr realizes his friend's pants are stained in blood, and he looks alarmed. She's having her first periods ; she's a woman now, and that means leader Adem can get to have a claim on her as he pleases.

Well aware of that fact, Geirr is devastated, and you understand at once that he was hoping to make Beyah his own companion.

You also understand that he's not going to fight for her. He's going to suffer in silence, accept the situation and accept his brother's authority. Because that's the thing with Geirr ; he's not a fighter. And throughout the movie, Beyah is going to prove that she has a lot more fight in her than he does.

Geirr is someone who has principles, and he's going to follow those principles even when it leads him to suffering or even be at risk of dying. He refuses to kill someone, even out of mercy, or to resort to cannibalism, even when it's the sole way to survive.

By the end of the movie, he has given up, and it becomes clear he's not destined to make it. It makes his death even more devastating, because you're still hoping against hope that he's going to live.

I'm still mourning that sweet prehistoric cinnamon bun, and I blame Kit's acting (and his face) for my emotional turmoil.
