Hermittober 2024!

Hey all! I haven't seen anything posted about a daily hermittober this year, so I made one for everyone to use. The prompts can be for drawing, writing, any kind of creative use! Stretch the limits of the prompts, or stick to the word itself. Most importantly, have fun and tag it #hermittober24 (and feel free to tag me bc i would love to see your creations)

Hope you enjoy! :)

Something I appreciate about Monkey Man is how doesn't try to frame revenge as just a pointlessly violent, self-destructive pursuit the way many films do. I think it's because Dev Patel was unafraid of adding a political element to the story. The kid wants to avenge his mother, but he also doesn't want what happened to them to keep happening to others. The presence of the hijras really drives this idea home. They fight with him not only because he's their friend, but because Baba and the nationalist party will bring violence literally to their door even if they don't fight back. I often roll my eyes at anti-revenge narratives. I think Dev Patel gets what it's like to be a victim of systematic violence in a way most filmmakers seem not to. Revenge isn't just a selfish pursuit that perpetuates the ~cycle of violence~, it can also be a desperate desire for the violence to end.

You know, when I was a kid...I went to the zoo on a class trip. And when I came home, I decided I wanted to be a giraffe when I grew up. I was never in charge, Randy.
