~`click anywhere here for a link to my app ~

under the cut i’m gonna throw some important personality and background stuff along with maybe? half-formed plot ideas? if not i’ll make a follow up post later, but pls like this plot if you wish to plot, i’ll try to come bother u. my ims are open hmu anytime (also bc im anxious af to b first message bc im BABY) and I ALSO have a discord located at quarantine queen#2918 where i’m usually v v v active. (lmk if u cant add me shoot me a message on here and ill fix it) ok imma shut up here is cranky daughter! ITS LONG SRRY

( pS: also if my blog is too hard to read just stick /mobile on the end of the url xx )

background 

the empress and emperor of korea had 5 kids, 4 daughters, 1 pampered son and evie was the second oldest daughter after dianna but like, she’s bossy and high strung and acts like the oldest anywayS so it doesn’t matter!

woo! however, korean tradition is rooted deeply in patriarchy and other backwards thinking,  >:(((( so evie’s parents basically pretended like their son was the only kid they had and sent evie and her 3 sisters off to swedish boarding school to ROT as they each turned 10 and forgot abt them while they groomed their son for the throne! thx mom n dad! luv u too! sdjlaksjd

during her time at boarding school evie was expected to not learn much of anything, not do anything spectacular, she wasn’t expected very good grades or to be smart or successful or anything bc that was Men’s Work and so evie did . . . THE EXACT OPPOSITE.

evie EXCELLED in school, straight a’s, top of her class, honors, ap valedictorian, which meant all nighters, nose bleeds at 2am from studying too hard, looking dead walking through the hallways, eating ramen 25/8, falling asleep w her face in her textbooks, getting bullied a lot for being a nerd and Not looking like her sisters and like...the creature from the black lagoon.

her parents, understandably, were not very happy with this but it wasn’t until she wanted to go to medical school that her parents were like FURIOUS. to them, women, esp the princesses, were only supposed to get married, have kids, THAT WAS IT. so evie wanting to be a doctor enraged them. STAY MAD!

they tried to have her engaged SO. MANY. TIMES. but she has a really repellent personality, she’s very kat stratford from 10 things i hate about you. and is rude and states her very liberal very socialist opinions often, dresses sloppy and hurts mens feelings a lot just for fun so they all went rUNNING from those match appointments! her parents literally are losing their minds they don’t know what to do w her theyre like god why did we give birth to the aNTICHRIST!?!?!?

not wanting anything to do with her parents, evie got into college and medical student on scholarship based on her own merit and skill. evie went to the seoul national university for 4 years then did a 2 year residency at the country’s top hospital, becoming one of the best on call heart surgeons there.

the korean media likes to clown on her A LOT! bc shes scary and angry and cares very little abt her appreance is A DOCTOR and not a princess really for the opposite reason they clown on dianna but evie does not really care she doesn’t care abt impressing people, just saving lives and proving people wrong. finger guns

but yes! thats what u missed on glee. evie was a heart surgeon in korea before being shipped off to thailand! shes v salty by the way ... even more than usual.

fun facts?

evie wears massive grandma glasses to see bc shes BLIND when shes in line with her sister people do not think she’s related and are like “OMG OMG THE PRINCESSES!!! BUY WHATEVER U WANT ON THE HOUSE I--oh? maam? uh? can we help u, ahjumma?” HELP

very dry, mean, will call you out on ur shit and hurt ur feelings probably. doesn’t really know how to Chill or have fun, stays out of drama and parties for the most part literally that old man that tells u to get off their lawn

LOVES HER SISTERS!!!! LOVES THEM!!! moms them and nags the FUCK out of them tho abt everything. wear a sweater its cold, drink water, dONT DO THAT GET DOWN FROM THERE, i told u to eat before u drank all that soju pabo!!!! skhaslkfh BUT SHE LOVES THEM VERY MUCH HER WOOOORLD the only people shes kind of nice to

as stated, has tried to been matched up before but has basically scared away all her matches by being A Lot and not polite or dainty and burping probably

her mom calls her all the time to talk abt how shes having a heart attack bc her second daughter is an unmarried, childless, spinster with a cat who is embarrassing her by being a doctor and being loud and obnoxious and outspoken against the royal heirarchy and right wing politics. evie just puts her on mute and lets her keeping yelling at no one for the next hour

loves beer, loves fried chicken, very unladylike, wears oversized sweaters and her hair messy and watches love island australia and the bachelor just to make fun of the people being in love and stupid i think secretly she kind of wants it but...thinks shes unlovable and will die before she says that shh

bisexual legend! cue mr and mrs yi screaming somewhere

not that it matters bc she cares little abt romance and sex and always put work and school before everything so everything touchy like that she either ends abruptly or stays the hell away from

never parties or goes out but when she does get really drunk gets very cute and touchy and happy there is one video on the internet of her like on a table ashdkh yikes 

is soft deep down just like *shrek voice* donkey, orges are like onions they have layers and u gotta get past a lot of them for her to get past her level 4 tragic backstory and into the soft, vulnerable part of her personality its nice i promise she is SQUISHY

weird plots???

best friend? im sure she has one somewhere. or friends at all? people who arent scared of her who shes nice to....mostly

enemies woo! hate her its very easy to hate her so do it

u want to do a daredevil thing like when matt shows up bleeding and dying or after a fight or something and she patches u up

just anyone need a doctor bc paging dr sexy md~

past loves? boyfriend? girlfriend? weird flings? weird tension unresolved stuff WOOO

ANYONE who broke her heart for the angst and drama

Hello beautiful people!

This post is bittersweet and quite long.

I’ve been back in the states for 8 days now, after my program shut down and sent everyone home due to the pandemic currently making its way around the globe (you may have heard about it?) My last few days in Prague were stressful, chaotic, sad and tiring, just to name a few of the emotions I was feeling. It started with my parents calling me at 2:30 in the morning and telling me to pack up my stuff because a travel ban was being put in place- thus the chaos ensued. After that call I was up and about, as were my roommates and many other students. We were all communicating with each other, most people freaking out, others really confused. A few left immediately, and honestly I don’t know how they packed their stuff so fast. And others said they were leaving later in the week. In all honesty, I didn’t really know what to think or what to feel. The next couple days were basically meetings with our whole program, our last classes, and the verdict that the program was being shut down. Everyone started saying their goodbyes. It was pretty heartbreaking.

Friday, March 13th: I spent the day walking around Prague, taking pictures, and looking for gifts for a few people, and I guess just taking in what would be my last couple days in Prague. It was sunny and it was beautiful, but it was also sad.

Saturday, March 14th: this was my last official day in the Czech Republic. I went back to the school to return some things I had checked out and there ended up being a group of us there. And we decided to make the most of it - we group ordered from Wing Haus to be delivered to the school, and then we set up shop in one of the classrooms. I logged into Netflix and we all sat, ate wings, and watched Shrek 2 together and it was probably the most precious moment of my entire time abroad. One of our advisors even joined us. It was definitely a memory I will cherish forever.

Sunday, March 15th: my official goodbye. I woke up, finished packing, carried my three heavy suitcases down four flights of stairs and Ubered to the airport. There was absolutely no one outside. It was like Prague became a ghost town overnight. Now, you would think things wouldn’t be as stressful once I got to the airport but that just wasn’t the case.

The check in desk doesn’t open until two hours before the plane is expected to take off, so naturally, I got there two hours before the plane was expected to take off. And the line was long and moving extremely slow. My plane was set to leave at 10:50AM. I got up to the airport at 8:50AM and didn’t get up to the desk until 10:20AM. So at this point I’m already stressed. And then the woman tells me that she can’t find my connecting flight in London which means she can’t send my luggage all the way to Seattle, she can only send them to London. And I have NO IDEA what that means for me once I get to London, but she tells be that when I get there I can just go to the transfer desk and send my luggage forward. By the time this whole exchange ends, it’s 10:30, and I’m in Terminal 1, and my flight is in Terminal 2 which apparently is an unnecessarily long trek. So now I’m running through the airport and I go through this thing and I have to get my passport checked and then I’m lost trying to find my gate and I get to the gate at 10:40 and I get on the plane. The stress ends for about 2 hours until I land in London.

I’ve never been to the London airport before, so I don’t understand anything. When I land, I have a 2 hour layover, I follow the others until I find the connections wing, or whatever. I get on a bus that will take me to a separate terminal where my connecting flight is. When I get to that terminal, I go through this whole chaotic thing to try and get my boarding pass. I talk to four people and finally this guy is able to find the flight and print out the boarding pass. And then I ask him about my bags and he tells me that I should’ve picked them up in the terminal and re-checked them! So, super stressed, I go down to the baggage claim of terminal 5 (I landed at terminal 3) and I find the help desk (there is no transfer desk by the way) and I talk to this very kind lady who does everything she can to help me. She calls in a favor, and asks this guy who is in charge of baggage over at terminal 3 to find my bags and bring them over and load them onto my flight. He says he’ll do it. She says they’ll be there. And I say okay. Now I have to get back into the airport because I had to leave the security area to get to the baggage claim. So I make my way back up, go through security, and get to my gate 20 minutes before boarding, just hoping that my bags gets onto the flight. Spoiler alert: my bags did not make it onto the flight. When I landed in Seattle, I went through customs, got to baggage claim, and they were not there. So I talked to another lady, she takes down my information, says she’ll find the bags and keep me updated. I say okay, and leave to go meet my parents and tell them about the terrible day I had just had.

Sunday night I got a text that they had located my bags (they were still in London) and that they’d be on the next flight out to Seattle.

Monday night my bags were delivered to the house and I got all my stuff.

And now I’m 8 days into self-quarantine and I am bored out of my mind. I’m happy to be home but also sad I had to leave my program at all. I miss everyone there and I hope things die down soon.

If you read this far, props to you. And I hope everyone is staying safe and healthy!

[assholemurphy]

i am incredibly sad that i only have like, 1 extra adderall left (i may have to find somewhere to buy more from, since i only get like, enough for the month with my prescription, the only reason i had extras this month is bc it took a week for me to be able to get my prescription filled, so i literally had to go a week w/o adderall and i don’t wanna do that again, ever, it was hell, esp bc i ran out of sudafed, too, that week) bc holy fucking shit am i awake. i’m getting so much done. i took a shower and then highlighted all of the units in my script, which is usually hard to focus on bc it’s so dull, and i got another 15 units done, so i’ve only got like 30 left and i’m still wide awake and focused AF. like, i’m p sure that colors have smells, but also, like, the world is so intense and amazing. i feel fucking fantastic. i kinda wanna go skydiving, but like, not until i get my hw done, ya know?

but i’ve got 30 more units to do, then i’ve gotta make a graph, but after that, i’m done with the project and can move on. depending on how i feel/what time it is when i get that done (bc if it’s past 3:30/4a, i can’t sleep, i’ve got to stay up bc if not, i won’t wake up in time for class, but also, if i still feel this awake, then there’s rly no point to sleeping bc i won’t be able to, anyway) i might sleep, or i might start working on my playwriting assignment (bc that’s due mon @ 2p and i’ve got to write 6 1-min monologues for my characters) and watch the first 30min of shrek: the musical (bc i gotta have that done by fri @ 9a bc we’re watching it in class and that’s where we’re picking up at since the audio wouldn’t work in class, so it’s hw to watch the first 30 of it, but we can watch all of it, if we want, idk if i will, i’ve got too much to do and if i watch all of it, then there’ll be no point of going to class bc i hate rewatching things bc i’ve got a damn near eidetic memory for movies/books and certain other things, depending on how much i’m paying attention, but almost always books/movies unless i find them boring and don’t care abt them, so it would be stupid to watch all of it and then be bored in class), then maybe read some of after the fall (the script i’m pulling my monologue from for acting i) and do the assignment that goes with that (bc it’s due tues @ 9:30a). after that i should do my therapy hw (we’re still working on stuck points and i’ve got like, 5 more sheets, maybe more, to fill out) bc that’ll be due at my next counselling appt, which i think is next week, i’ll have to call them, but it’ll take abt an hour and it’ll emotionally drain me.

i think that’s abt it for hw, tho, but all of that’ll take roughly 9 hours, which means i def won’t be able to do it all tonight, but i can get most of it done if i don’t sleep, which means i’ll have more time for sleep/writing/literally everything else on the weekend. i might even be lucky enough to be able to get drunk. maybe. i’d have to start drinking at like, 3p and stop at like, 6p for it to all be out of my system so i can get to bed by 2/3a. so that’s a maybe. but a nice maybe.

ofc, i’ve got non hw stuff to do, too. i’ve got to make a list of roommate requirements so i can start looking for a new one (i’ve also got to talk to goldilocks to see when she plans to move out, bc like hell am i moving out, all the bills except her half of the lease are in my name and most of the furniture (aside from her personal stuff and the coffee table) is mine and i don’t want to have to move ALL of it out and into a new place, plus it’s her decision to not be roommates, so it’s on her, not me, and i won’t budge, not this time). then i’ve got to get my study/organization binder made so things’ll be easier to keep track of. i’ve got to do some cleaning (taking out the trash, cleaning up my side of the living room (we didn’t divide it, it’s just where the couches are so we stick to our couches most of the time) and the coffee table). then laundry, gotta do laundry, i’m almost out of socks.

ofc, i might have to start on my part of the second part of the group project. i wanna design costumes for the play, if neither of the others is doing that, which i hope they aren’t, bc i don’t know enough abt any of the other elements of production to do something else. but if i have to, i can try to do sound, maybe, that’s my second choice. so, i may have to start on that this weekend. i’ll talk to hurricane bianca and tim the toolman taylor and see what they’re doing for it probs on fri if not tomorrow at rehearsal. then i can start on my part and get it finished ahead of time to prove i’m capable, when i’ve got my shit together and am not having a breakdown every week. then, after i talk to prof j abt what i’m supposed to do for the show (something with finding times for freeze frames and spotlights, which is fun, but i’m worried my comdic timing isn’t the same as everyone else’s bc i’m autistic, so my sense of humor is a bit skewed, ya know? but anyway, prof j specifically told goldilocks (who is stage manager, i’m one of two assistant stage managers) to have me do it, so i’m afraid i’m being set up to fail bc i know nothing abt theatre, rly, and i’m always paranoid abt these things, but i’m also kinda thinking it might be bc she actually thinks i can do it, which sounds unrealistic, but she’s not a mean person, so i’m willing to bet it’s that one. but i need to ask her what all she needs me to do, bc goldilocks has no clue, which was so fucking helpful, what a great stage manager she is (no, srsly, idk if i bitched abt this earlier or not, but she’s absolutely horrible at this shit so far and i can’t stand working under her bc i hate working under incompetent ppl bc i feel it makes me look incompetent, too, if the job isn’t done right, even if it’s not my fault bc i wasn’t in charge and i’m always, always terrified to look stupid or incapable in the eyes of others). so, i’ve got to ask prof j abt what all i need to do bc i’m p sure the advice given to me by the lighting tech (who is apparently a decent stage manager, tho i doubt it, truly, she doesn’t have the personality for it, she’s too pushy and it makes her hard to work with, but that might just be bc i don’t like her as a person, so i’m reserving judgement until i see her in the position) is wrong bc it makes no sense, is way too hard, doesn’t actually help with anything and gives me a headache (bc mapping out the goddamn blocking is impossible when the actors do diff things every fucking night, wtf??? do the same shit, you assholes! but it’s also useless bc it doesn’t tell anyone where the spotlights/freeze frames should be, and blocking isn’t my job, it’s the other asm’s (who i don’t have a nickname for, but will probs have before the end of rehearsal) so why she’s not doing it, idk???) so i’ll ask tomorrow.

so, i’m looking at 9 hours hw now, then 30 min of cleaning, 3 hours of other paperwork shit, and potentially 4 hours of hw and 2 hours of theatre stuff this weekend. which means i can get at least 10 hours of sleep per night and get some writing done, if i finish most of my hw now. i think that’s worth one sleepless night. it rly is. so, here’s to hoping for at least one day off this week.

but if i don’t sleep, i’ll probs crash after rehearsal tomorrow night, unless i can convince my friends to come over and hang out, since they won’t be here this weekend and i kinda need their help making the roommate requirement list bc otherwise it’s just gonna be like ‘can’t leave time on the microwave after they’re done using it’ and ‘must know how to use headphones when others are studying in the living room’ and ‘must not whine when i want to stay in my room and do work instead of being around them 24/7′ (tho, goldilocks doesn’t spend much time with me anymore, which is fine, i guess, but it’s a complete 180 from what she used to do and honestly, i’m offended bc i caved and started staying in the living room and now it just feels weird not being in the living room and idk what to do abt any of this). i need real things, too, like, big concerns that i’ll forget abt when writing it, and i need to know if my requirements are petty or things that aren’t specific to most ppl, just goldilocks. and it’d be nice to hang out with them and shit.

anyway, this is rly long and rambly, but i rly need to vent all of this shit somewhere, it helps me sort my brain out. i don’t actually expect anyone to read it and you can always blacklist my personal tag ‘iz says stuff’ if you don’t want this shit on your dash. but if you do read them, then you’re always welcome to come to my inbox and be like ‘quit bitching and get back to work, dumbass’ or something.

Reheat THIS in the microwave of evil

Ollo,

A few nights ago, I was settling down for the night and my boyfriend and I decided to watch a movie. I was absolutely shocked and appalled to learn that for more than 2 years of a dating I was unaware that he had never seen MegaMind.

 I hadn't been this shocked since I found out my roommate hadn't seen High School Musical 3, four years ago.

So instead of watching Brooklyn Nine Nine (like he wanted), I insisted we watch the cartoon children’s film. He obliged, probably because he saw how excited I became at the opportunity to watch the movie. I promise I'm 22 years old, not 5. 

For those of you who have not seen this brilliant Dreamworks creation: please drop everything and go watch it now. I mean, cmon. It stars Will Ferrell, Tina Fey, Jonah Hill, Brad Pitt, and Ben Stiller. Its light, funny, and entertaining. Just like many of DreamWorks creations, MegaMind includes subliminal adult humour that engages parents and makes watching cartoon movies enjoyable. Really, go watch it. Mostly because it's wonderful, but also because I am about to give an in depth summary of the movie and do not want to ruin your *MegaMind* experience. 

*Spoiler Alert*

The Plot

(https://goo.gl/images/fzbt5E) 

The movie starts with a planet in outer space being sucked into a large black hole. A couple, inhabitants of the doomed planet, put their little big headed blue baby in a pod with a fish companion and send the pod to another planet for safety. Another set of parents on a nearby planet had a similar idea, and sent their attractive human-like alien baby to safety as well. These babies became effectively known as Megamind & Metro Man. Both MegaMind and Metro Man had great powers, Megamind’s being great intellect, and Metro Man’s being strength and flight.

Although both babies landed on the same planet, Metro Man landed in a mansion, and MegaMind crashed into a prison. The two grew up together, went to the same school, lived into the same town (Metro City) and conversed with the same people. It quickly became apparent that Metro Man was favoured by the individuals of the city, and MegaMind was an outcast, a ‘black sheep’ as he called it. This was because Metro Man always did the right thing, and did things that the other individuals of the city liked. Even though MegaMind tried to win societies affection, he always engaged in behaviours that were not favoured by other individuals. So, MegaMind decided that the only thing he was truly good at was being bad, and decided to be the baddest villain the city had ever seen.

MegaMind and Metro Man develop a rivalry where MegaMind attempts to kill or injure Metro Man, various buildings and the citizens of MetroCity. MegaMind, being the bad guy, always loses. However, one day while the city was praising Metro Man, MegaMind successfully lures Metro Man into his trap and kills him.  MegaMind is ecstatic to finally win and have control over the city. 

Soon, MegaMind grows bored of his power, since there’s no one there fighting for the power back. He decides in order to regain purpose, he must ‘create’ a superhero to battle him. He accidentally creates a superhero who has no drive to be a hero at all, and turns evil. 

While this is happening, MegaMind is pretending to be a librarian and falls in love with a popular and beautiful reporter, Roxanne. She develops feelings for MegaMind, but promptly ends the relationship when she discovers who he really is. They also find out that Metro-Man faked his death because he was bored doing the same thing day in and day out. 

Plot twist: MegaMind, the bad guy, now has to be good in order to save the city, and himself, from the monster he has created. He wins, Metro City is saved, and MegaMind is the new hero. And of course, he gets the girl. 

The Sub-Plot: Deeper Meanings

(https://goo.gl/images/HqehpN) 

Since this movie came out in 2010, I have loved this film. But I have never stopped and thought about what the film was trying to tell me. As Gitlin stresses, we must attempt to ponder what each medium means. Or in this case, what MegaMind means. Then, and only then, can we understand its effects. 

Alright Gitlin, Im taking your advice and pondering what this movie could mean. Is it just another Shrek-like children’s comedy, or is it trying to tell us something far more important...? 

Gitlin looks at how television shows and film often represent the ideological structures of our modern society. In this way, TV and film media reinforce the ideology of the groups in power and dismiss/condemn radical thought, disobedience and conflict of the system. Gramsci notes that the owning class, or the bourgeoisie, has created an overarching hegemony which influences individual and societal thought. Hegemony can be described as the domination of ideology and common-sense attitudes towards society by the ruling class. 

As soon as I started thinking about what deeper meanings could be within MegaMind, I was overwhelmed with the amount of examples there were to prove the point. For simplicity, I will only mention a few prevalent and important examples the film has to offer: 

The first thing that was apparent to me in this film was the stark contrast between good and evil. Metro Man was the clear spokesperson for good, and MegaMind being a spokesperson for evil. The behaviours of each character then became further categorized as good or bad. For example, 

Killing people = bad. (MegaMind) 

Protecting society, the individuals in it, and those in power = good. (MetroMan) 

Not only is this movie reinforcing the good vs. bad stereotypes, but also sends a few messages to the ‘deviant’ individuals in society. First, It explains that there are no perks to being the bad guy. The people who are bad, or go against the ruling class/ideological framework of society always lose, are not accepted in society, and never ‘get the girl’.

Minion: I may not know much but I do know this the bad guy doesn't get the girl.

MegaMind: Well maybe I don't want to be the bad guy anymore!

- (MegaMind 2010)

BUT, a deviant individual can choose to change; they are encouraged to begin engaging in only good behaviours. Once this change happens, the newly good individual will be accepted into society. They may also then find love and companionship.

The fact that this is seen in a children's movie is particularly important, as children learn every single day the difference between right and wrong. Their young brains are sponges that adopt everything their surroundings tell them. This movie assists kids in differentiatating between good and evil. It also subliminally suggests what they should be doing in their own non-cartoon society. 

As Giltin notes, The superhero archetype has been around for a long time. Since 1933 this character has often been portrayed as patriotic, well behaved, dedicated, and successful. Also, Superheros often owe their lives to their citizens and feel compelled to help in any dire situation. 

The greatest honour you’ve given me is letting me serve you, the helpless people of Metro City. I often ask myself, “At the end of the day, who would I be without you people?”

- Metro Man (Mega Mind 2010)

Next, I want to take a closer look at the characters in this film. Metro Man is a white, stereotypical attractive and muscular baby that grew up to be an attractive, talented, muscular man. He grew up in a Mansion, with elite parents and a privileged childhood. Metro Man perfectly fits this superhero character type, and represents how if you are good, you will be well liked and successful. Also, Superheros often owe their lives to their citizens and feel compelled to help in any dire situation. 

Accompanying the superhero is always a super villain, or a protagonist that stirs up conflict in the plot. The villain is usually unattractive, mean, from a underprivileged background, and always loses. MegaMind is painted as a villain from the get go. He is blue, which would be fine, you know, since he is an alien. But its interesting that the good superhero is handsome, jacked and is human (Metro Man may have a surpirior appearance but nevertheless is similar to general society). MegaMind is raised in a prison where he learns good vs. bad from the evil prisoners inside (all of which are painted as evil and inherently bad as well).

Lastly, The imagery involved in the stereotypical representation of MegaMind’s character is of importance. He is often dressed in black (with dark blue patterns) with leather and studded accents. All of which are associated with risqué, and ‘deviant’ behaviours. Alternatively, Metro Man wears an all white costume. White is often symbolic of truth, justice and goodheartedness. This imagery is especially relevant at the end of the movie when MegaMind turns good, gets the girl, and the city’s approval. With this, comes a new outfit. Yep, you guessed it, a white cape. 

I find it funny how much us humans consume without reflection. Here I was watching this dorky cartoon film with my boyfriend not knowing all the little meanings I was unknowingly consuming. It honestly makes me critical of everything else I'm doing and thinking and feeling. How much of it is influenced by hegemony? all of it? is anything real?????? #conspiracy 

Im not sure how that makes me feel - skeptical I guess?

Nevertheless, its apparent that these types of ideological undertones are present in almost everything we experience in society. Even children’s movies!!!!!! Music, religion, novels, and film all perpetuate the preferred behaviours and beliefs of the ruling class. Structural functionalists would be all over this. 

i don't know, I could be onto something here… or I could be pulling meaning out of thin air. This is just my semi-Gramsci, semi-Gitlin (and maybe a little marxist) analysis of this cartoon movie. So take it with a grain of salt. I could be wrong but who's to say it either way.... 

 I mean the author is dead, right?
