Destiny’s Child – Survivor

Call 1-855-637-4055 for our Psychic line as low as 66¢/min About Destiny’s Child: Destiny’s Child was an American R&B girl group whose final, and perhaps most recognizable, line-up comprised Beyoncé Knowles, Kelly Rowland and Michelle Williams. Formed in 1990 in Houston, Texas, Destiny’s Child members began their musical endeavors as Girl’s Tyme comprising, among others, Knowles, Rowland, LaTavia Roberson and LeToya Luckett. After years of limited success, they were signed to Columbia Records as Destiny’s Child. Destiny’s Child was launched into mainstream recognition following the release of their best-selling second album, The Writing’s on the Wall, which contained the number-one singles “Bills, Bills, Bills” and “Say My Name”. Survivor contains themes interpreted by the public as a reference to the group’s internal conflict. The title track, “Survivor“, which set the theme used throughout the album, features the lyrics “I’m not gonna blast you on the radio … I’m not gonna lie on you or your family … I’m not gonna hate you in the magazine” caused LaTavia and LeToya Luckett to file a lawsuit against the group; the lyrics were perceived to be a violation over their agreement following a settlement in court. In an interview, Knowles commented: “The lyrics to the single ‘Survivor‘ are Destiny’s Child‘s story, because we’ve been through a lot, … We went through our drama with the members … Any complications we’ve had in our 10-year period of time have made us closer and tighter and better.” In another song called “Fancy”, which contains the lyrics “You always tried to compete with me, girl … find your own identity”, was interpreted by critic David Browne, in his review of the album for Entertainment Weekly magazine, as a response to the lawsuit. lyrics: Now that you’re out of my life I’m so much better You thought that I’d be weak without you But I’m stronger You thought that I’d be broke without you But I’m richer You thought that I’d be sad without you I laugh harder You thought I wouldn’t grow without you Now I’m wiser Though that I’d be helpless without you But I’m smarter You thought that I’d be stressed without you But I’m chillin’ You thought I wouldn’t sell without you Sold 9 million I’m a survivor (What?)

January 12, 2021: Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon (Part 2)

N’SYNC...Britney Spears...Blue (Da Ba Dee)...Blue (Da Ba Dee)...

OK...I think I’m ready to be professional about this masterpiece of a movie again. Whew. If I’m not careful, I’m gonna lose it.

Quick recap: this movie is awesome. Wuxia, vendettas, spurned love, fated love, unrequited love, swords, fighting, no physics, Green Destiny, teachers, students, interesting plot, GORGEOUS cinematography, and an overall great movie so far. Plus, I’m meditating on the year 2000 so that I can review this critically acclaimed movie professionally, and not lose it to my froth-at-the-mouth fervor for it’s AWESOME. Read the first part of this review for more, there’s a lot to cover, and it’s still deceptively easy to keep track of.

OK, let’s get back into it! SPOILERS AHEAD!!!

The wedding day arrives, and the heartbroken Lo (Chang Chen) fires a dart at Jen’s (Zhang Ziyi) procession carriage to get her to come with him. As he runs away, he’s intercepted by Mu Bai (Chow Yun-Fat) and Shu Lien (Michelle Yeoh), who tell him to flee to Mount Wudang to stay safe, and that Jen will meet him there.

After the interruption, it turns out that Jen’s taken the opportunity to flee. She disguises herself as a man named Long, and once again steals Green Destiny. Meanwhile, Lo’s display of love appears to have inspired the other love story of this film.

The two finally acknowledge their love for each other, and speak on the nature of their love. Mu Bai reveals a past tie to Giang Hu, referring to it as “a world of tigers and dragons” that he found it difficult to leave.

Meanwhile, Jen's just getting some food, not doing too much.

Ohhhhhh, man. It’s starting again, guys. Think of The Marshall Mathers LP, think of The Marshall Mathers LP, think of The Marshall Mathers LP...

Who Wants to Marry a Multi-Millionaire? WHO WANTS TO MARRY A MULTI-MILLIONAIRE???

Whew. After COMPLETELY KICKING THE ASSES of an ENTIRE TOWN’S WORTH OF THUGS (Destiny’sChildDestiny’sChildDestiny’sChild), she once again leaves and goes to Shu Lien, playing the innocent young maiden once again.

She tells Jen that Lo is waiting at Wudan Mountain, and Jen IMMEDIATELY heel-turns, blaming them for a set-up. Shu Lien turns in kind, telling Jen that she ALWAYS knew it was her (remember, the calligraphy comment from earlier), and that their offers of kindness and protection have been met with only contempt. the friendship is over, leading to...

...

MAD COW DISEASE, ELIAN GONZALEZ, HANGING CHADS

THE HUMAN GENOME PROJECT, O MAGAZINE, OPRAH, DIGIMON: DIGITAL MONSTERS

X-MEN: EVOLUTION, X-MEN, ERIN BROKOVICH, GLADIATOR, CROUCHING TIGER, HIDDEN DRAGON...FUCK!!!

OH GODDAMN IT THIS MOVIE RULES

And crazily enough, all of that forceful reminiscing FINALLY reminds me of what I saw when I was 9! IT WAS THIS EXACT SCENE, THE SCENE IN THE BAMBOO FOREST!!! I remember now. They were showing this scene on TV on the news...right before the Oscar Ceremony in 2001!

...Wait. OH. It was 2001. Not 2000.

Well. Guess I know why that wasn’t working. BUT WHO CARES, THIS SCENE IS INCREDIBLE!!! You need to see it in full, but I’m not posting it! WATCH THE WHOLE MOVIE, I’M DEAD SERIOUS

Back to the recap. In the bamboo forest in the mountains, Mu Bai tells Jen that all he wants to do is train her, as she has great potential to be a worthy master of...Green Destiny. He’s telling her of the destiny he believes she’s headed towards...while in a green forest, and in front of a green pool.

I LOVE IT. I seriously love this movie. And maybe that’s all I really needed to focus on this whole time.

Mu Bai seizes the sword, and throws it over the cliff into the green pool. She dives off the cliff for it, nearly drowning. And that’s when she’s found nd seizes...by Jade Fox. Uh oh. Jade Fox tells her that they can stay together at last, and gives her soup in a cave. Except it’s the Oops All Drugs variety, and she falls asleep.

Mu Bai, Shu Lien, and Bo find her in a drugged stupor, where Jade Fox has been waiting for them. And as soon as the ambush begins...

...it’s over. She reveals that she was there to kill not Mu Bat, but Jen, for hiding her progress, and betraying her trust.

You know what poison is? An eight-year-old-girl, full of deceit. That’s poison. Jen. My only family...my only enemy.

Wow. And worse yet, this is a Pyhrric victory, as Jade Fox’s death comes at a cost. One of those poisoned darts hit the mark, and the antidote takes a while to make. For saving her life, Jen pledges to make the antidote for him. She runs back to town to get the ingredients.

But it’s too late. With his literal last breath, Mu Bai tells Shu Lien that he’s always loved her. They embrace in a kiss.

I would rather by a ghost, drifting by your side as a condemned soul, than enter heaven without you. Because of your love, I will never be a lonely spirit.

Jen returns just too late, and rather than kill her, Shu Lien tells her to reunite with Lo on Mount Wudang. She also tells Bo to return the Green Destiny to Sir Te in Beijing. It wasn’t Jen’s after all. The two fated lovers reunite at last, and the next morning...Jen leaves her comb. Lo finds her on a bridge, and Jen asks if he remembers the legend of the boy on the mountain, then tells him to make a wish.

...HOLY SHIT.

THAT’S THE END. THAT’S CROUCHING TIGER, HIDDEN DRAGON.

...I...I...Epilogue coming soon.

Beyoncé Giselle Knowles

Estados Unidos, 1981

Cantora, compositora, atriz, modelo, dançarina, produtora, diretora e roteirista norte-americana

Beyoncé se tornou conhecida em 1997 quando integrava um grupo feminino de R&B (Rhythmand blues) chamado Destiny’sChild, que já vendeu mais de 50 milhões de discos mundialmente e ficou eternizada nos anos 2000 com a música “Survivor”. Beyoncé é extremamente feminista e ao falar sobre aceitação, auto-estima e empoderamento da mulher, ela aproxima todos esses valores da realidade de um número enorme de pessoas - e fortalece a perspectiva de que cada vez mais mulheres façam o mesmo. Beyoncé também dá oportunidades para mais mulheres em seus shows, como pode ser visto em vários de seus shows, sua banda formada apenas por mulheres. Beyoncé também foi a primeira negra a ser a atração principal do festival Coachella nos Estados Unidos. Ela também já atuou em vários filmes como “Obsessiva (2009)” e “Resistindo às Tentações (2003)”. Escreveu, dirigiu e produziu o musical “Black is King (2020)”, além de emprestar sua voz pra leoa Nala no remake de O Rei Leão (2019) da Disney em 2019, alémd também compor a música “Spirit” para a trilha sonora da animação.
