it’s so interesting how gloreth is seen not only as some great noble hero, a warrior who bravely slayed the monster, but also as an adult. a grown-up knight who knew what she was going. when in reality she was just a little kid. a kid who didn’t know what she was doing, not really. a kid with a wooden sword. a kid under her parents’ influence. a kid who only started seeing nimona as a monster because that’s what she was told. and yet she ended up depicted as an adult in the statue, in the storybooks, in the scroll used to justify trying to kill nimona again.

at the beginning of the movie when she’s being introduced via storybook, she says “go back to the shadows from whence you came” in a courageous, commanding voice, even though that’s not quite what happened! in reality her voice was scared, and a little bit uncertain. the narrative was always twisted in her favor because she was seen as the hero.

absolute funniest thing to me is Disney scrapping Nimona only for netflix to take it and get it oscar nominated while Wish, Disney's 100th anniversary movie, got nothing. karma really is a bitch

all quiet on the western front is literally a movie discussing the futility of war, of how little boys sign up to march to their death because of propaganda fed to them by their teachers and mentors who prey on their idealistic view on life. it is a film that makes you watch death after death after death, without giving you a single cause or philosophy or ideal for you to soothe yourself with—because there is none. there are only boys and men, bleeding cold and alone on the dirt and mud. there is no worth. there is no reason. there is only death.

and you reduce it to a "war movie". it's based off a book brave enough to depict the realities of war in the charged political climate of 1929, and you call it "the war movie".

There's a huge universe out there, with a lot of galaxies.

Forever thinking about the art piece in Don Hertzfeldt's short film World of Tomorrow where a clone of a child is put into a tube in a gallery and you watch him age in real time until he eventually dies at the age of 72 then the exhibit is quietly removed without any notice.

Obsessed w the way they lit Henry in this scene. It's all so soft, and warm, and cozy, and almost dream-like, not to mention that backlighting is so flattering. And the way it lights his hair like he's got this halo as if he's some kind of angel from above. They didn't have to go that hard, but they did. It keeps me up at night.

Every time I see that awfully condescending post about how stupid and primitive old cinema is for "overacting" and "fixed cameras" I get really mad, even though whenever it gets on my dash it is the version where further reblogs add nuance.

Darling, I don't think 1940s makers and audiences would have a very admiring opinion of some current date techniques such as rapid fire, low mixed dialogue. If they were half as condescending as you are they would be writing posts about how these stupid new generations have forgotten that movies are supposed to be fiction for which it is essential for the audience to understand what the actors are saying. Don't even get me started on "plot twists".

Asked if Panem is a ‘more or less LGBTQ-friendly place than the world we live in today,’ the 24-year-old said: “I think it’s giving something similar to America. “In that I feel the capital is like one of the metropolitan cities where being gay is ‘what up’ and the party and everything. But then you go down South and you could get murdered. Maybe a similar vibe.”

ms schafer no offence but collins literally put tbosas' gay couples in the capitol AND in twelve for what i suspect is this exact reason

this is what happens when film studios cut all the gay characters and nobody reads lol

And I will cast abominable filth upon thee, and make thee vile, and will set thee as a spectacle.

At that time, at that place, who was actually there and who was not?

This dream you're chasing, where you end up at the top of the mountain, all eyes on you... it's the dream you never wake up from.

I was looking at the stars. I don't want to look at the real stars.

What's a bad miracle? They got a word for that?

She's a fool because she doesn't realize that her miracle is standing atop someone else's sacrifice. But that's the sort of person who receives miracles.

Right here, you are going to witness an absolute spectacle. 

Someday, Together, We'll Shine.

Oh ya? That Spiderman movie? It's plagued my mind and have never been normal since

Most incongruous thing I've learned about Robert Evans in a long time is that he's a devoted musical theatre fan who loves Sweeney Todd, has a lot of respect for Stephen Sondheim, and has a lot of distaste for the disappointment that is Russell Crowe's performance in Les Miserables 2012
