Reincarnation Drama Idea

Hinduism, Buddhism, Jainism, or Sikhism

Two complete strangers (M/M, M/F, F/F) not involved in anything get street casted for a future drama to be background and/or side couple.

The drama is about the legend of Royal/Guard who had a secret affair, the Royal being unaware of the treasures hidden below the floors that the Guard has sworn his life to protect though they don't know what the treasure consists of.

The legend goes that the Guard had fallen for the Royal, truly in love, and had begun to swear his life to the royal instead of the hidden treasures. Had the Guard stayed in his lane, as they've been trained, he wouldn't have lost his life protecting the royal.

The drama being filmed has severely romanticized the legend; making the Royal an heir, the Knight a commoner, and the treasure is a hoard protected by a fierce monster -- being the King on the throne who had supposedly killed the Queen to protect his wealth. The King denies the heir and commoner pair, so the heir goes behind the King's back to release the treasure to the people, the commoner denies the wealth speaking of the only treasure is being with the heir.

The two street casted actors become the best friends of the main pair, a knight that protects the heir by orders of the King, who originally reported of the growing meetings falls for the friend of the commoner, who works with the main pair to meet up. Eventually, the knight becomes enamored over the antics that the friend goes through to help the main pair and ends up helping by serving false truths to the King.

The two actors who arrive to set location begin to have weird dreams, both count it as just imaginative and nothing more.

The "Knight" actor is capable of recalling details that they weren't privy to, or certain details that have been changed to fit the drama, having irrational reactions often than not anger, though even they don't know.

The "commoner's friend" actor having dreams of being in the heir's position, which is weird as they originally wanted nothing to with the drama but the promised money was too good to pass up.

The two's dreams begin to affect their work and they get a talking to, so far that those in charge of the drama insinuating of the two hooking up.

So in response, when they aren't filming, the two keep complete distance.

Until the "Knight" actor over hears from those in charge about being the right one, in contrast to the "central cathedral". "Knight" attempts to approach "commoner's friend" several times.

At the halfway point of the drama, many viewer's are enjoying the chemistry between "Knight" and "commoner's friend", so much that "commoner's friend" argues with "Knight" to stay away from them.

"Knight" responds about the so what about what the viewers sees.

Because "commoner's friend" is only for the money, that's it.

"Knight" says the money? Or the treasure under the central cathedral?

"commoner's friend" stills, haltingly denying anything.

"Knight" recalls how "commoner's friend" helped the Heir find the hidden passage.

He killed [Name]! "commoner's friend" yells back. "Just stay away from me."

If anyone needs clarification on anything, let me know. I'll do what I can, I'm still figuring things out.

Either someone take this, or get it to the right people. I'm very much out of my element.

OP: Check out. The fully-sexual charged cinematic movement design.

Cnetizens: How did the director come up with the idea to have him kneel on a playing card, adding so much aesthetic energy, is that some kind of genius?

very funny to me that every polish person who watched 1670 on here is writing posts begging non-polish people to watch it. including me.

Akira Kurosawa’s “白痴” (The Idiot) May 23, 1951.

[littleforeignaffairs]

Hand placements during make out scenes are very important.

They make me feel things

The subtle slip of the thumb around the throat.

Hands on the mouth

And the "what do I do with my hands"

No cause the way Rozemyne protected Ferdinand to her own detriment for 10+ books, just to end up a semi-suicidal shell of her own self due to the God’s petty revenge against Ferdinand.

And now Ferdinand is desperately clinging to her, cause she’s the only good thing to ever happen to him and no one - not even the Gods this time - will take her away from him.

Another Eat-the-Rich Film, "Parasite" is an Exploration of Class at Its Deadliest

The wait is (finally) over! My review of Bong Joon-Ho's materpiece, "Parasite" is now live!

Content Warning: Parasite contains depictions of severe class disparity, violence, grooming, and extreme manipulation. Viewer discretion is advised. Spoilers for Parasite ahead! In January of 2020, the English-centered film industry was put on blast for not giving foreign language films their proper flowers. Director Bong Joon-Ho, already celebrated by Hollywood and audiences alike for previous…

just finished watching slumming (2006) here's some screenshots from the film

[loriache]

Laishuro is like. It is absolutely just true that laios is into him. And toshiro absolutely admires laios despite finding him frustrating and difficult but I just dont know under what circumstances he wld reciprocate... the circumstances make any kind of "Relationship " difficult since obviously laios can't actually go east and marry toshiro no matter how much he wants to... immediately post canon I feel like toshiro would feel like his interest switching to laios would be disrespectful to falin. But after that, maybe a few years down the line he comes to stay for a diplomatic visit... seeing laios bloom as a leader (something he's always been taught to value), with both their social skills having been tempered by time and maturity... I think toshiro is kinda Elizabeth Bennett core in that seeing the merits of how laios treats people under his power would hugely compel him. And seeing how laios still absolutely lights up to see him, even after all that time. I think he'd find it flattering. so they maybe have a fling... and then their letters, which from laios' end were already Incredibly Borderline Inappropriately Intimate get even more so. The historian who gets their hands on them definitely has a field day

feel like this is a good time to share that i also had a dream about ling and lanfan one time except instead of either of them actually being in the dream, i was looking through a bookshelf and found a professionally published fanfiction with the two of them on the cover, and i skimmed it and it was like a dramatic post canon court romance but the most notable thing about this book was that the title was "dublith obliterated". we may never know why dublith was obliterated

me and the boys watching dublith get fucking obliterated while two foreigners make out in the background

HAUNTED HOSPITAL: HEILSTÄTTEN (2018)

This is a really weird German found footage film that mixes the aesthetics of an abandoned sanatorium with prank youtube. Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn’t. The twist is interesting, the movie is interesting, it plays a lot like an episode of Ghost Adventures but with actual activity . The actors do a good job with the script, overall not a bad film, just a bit plain. The story itself is new but the spooks were not (though I did like when the unlocked chain turned into a continuous loop chain, that was fun, Grave Encounters-y).

⭐⭐⭐

(Trigger Warning Suicide)

This movie is based around a bunch of youtubers who are trying to get mad views so they do a spooky challenge by breaking the law and going to an old tuberculosis sanitarium (because nothing is more frightening than breaking the law). We have your classic annoying prankster brothers,  a beauty guru, and a young upstart who is looking for her place on the internet (wouldn’t know anything about that hahaha please follow my blog). Theo is our tour guide and he is very straight forward about not liking the pranksters content, it is ruining today's youth! Theo also wants to make sure everyone is very appreciative of the heavy history that comes with the Haunted Hospital for no reason in particular, don’t you mind one bit.

As the kids begin to set up for the evening creepy stuff starts to happen and the beauty guru gets a jump scare by another random guy who they tell to fuck off and he does but little do they know it’s to be the first death of the movie! Dun dun dun! Only after our beauty babe sees a full bodied (and full bloodied) apparition in the bathtub and literal writing on the wall do our first group of two (2) attempt to leave when they discover the real dead body of the guy and things become really real for all of them. Everyone starts trying to get out but of course they all split up to do it, and Theo is in the basement all alone so the daring duo go down to find him. He is in the basement alright, but so is something else, all three (3) kids in the basement get got. 

The final prank brother goes down and in a rather gruesome scene with an elevator cable we are down to just the young upstart, Marnie. She has actually been in Heilstätten before with her sister and Theo and when they were here Marnie saw an apparition which somehow led to an accident where her sister is now in a wheelchair. Marine claims she came back for Theo’s safety but he is certain she only came for youtube clout. This becomes clear when we find out that Theo isn’t dead after all, he was doing a “prank” this whole time. Turns out he has a weird goth girlfriend and they bugged the whole sanatorium just to haunt these kids and kidnap them. He starts to do surgery on them but the whole “Marnie being missing” thing was really bumming him out so he had to go chase her, but she gets away!

I guess we are to believe that Theo and his girlfriend killed the annoying pranksters and the beauty vlogger because no cops ever showed up? They kind of just left that part off like Marnie ran all the way home and never said a damn thing to anyone about anything, not even her sister (but she had to, right? She was covered in blood or blood like substance). I wish they would have just had a little more on the ending there to make the movie complete. Sure it was nice to see Theos end and that his girlfriend was kinda/maybe a spooky ghost the whole time though but still. Pretty crazy to think Theo would do that just for a video though. I suppose it just goes to show that some people will do anything for other people's attention (please comment, like, reblog, and follow for more reviews).

I’m watching my very first K-drama.

And because I’m lost and every turn has me getting really confused, I’ve chosen to log these reactions.

Help.

Spoilers for the Ghost Doctor ahead:

Why do these effects remind of heartstopper in that intro

ARE THOSE FAKE GLASSES

Aw it’s like they’re having little seizures on the patients while giving “CPR”

So everyone is just offloading patients onto this guy???

THE SENIOR SURGEON HAVING A TANTRUM??????? Slapping glasssss???!?!?

What is this????

??????? What

Why is his eye twitching like that

I’m confused on why that child is such a big deal to that group? Just because he walked up to them and spouted facts???

The dings?

Is he mad because the other dude is cocky and friendly? And give gifts???

If I ever saw my professor that scrambled I’d shut up because I’m scared of making them want to hurt me. I wouldn’t just SMILE with a *ding*

OH ARE THEY ABOUT TO THROW HANDS????

OOOOOOP

Awwwwwwww

My dude you’re supposed to TRY. UGH.

More fake glasses?

The peace sign was unneeded

lol is he gonna faint?

So. He’s a surgical intern. That can’t do surgery???

Ooooooooooooof

Okay. So. Incorrect in some ways. DOCTORS CAN save patients with their warmheartedness and people skills. It doesn’t make up if they don’t have actual skills but I’m saying they can make the situation much better. Just saying. You do need skills but you can save a patient with your heart in certain conditions.

Is that a rat! A rodent?????

He’s singing????? What is this?????????

Why are you so smug

Awww he’s really taking to himself. And his. Rodent.

Of course he drives a jeep. A blue one.

Why are the women fawning.

Is the escalator gonna kill him?

And I thought elevators were where the drama was at. Apparently it’s escalators.

An ex?

Ouch an unwelcome encounter. That’s gotta hurt.

Dude. Just listen to do the work in the ER

Oh my god. It’s just a little blood.

Oh she’s there too?

A hospital in Seattle you say? It wouldn’t be Grey-Sloan Memorial Hospital?

Oooooof

Fairy dust *shimmer*

More fairy dust.

Fairy dust tornado!

He’s gotta find his soulmate

Stop backseat driving jeez

Frantic trench coat walking

Does the fairy dust contaminate sterile environments?

Dude do you wanna live or die?

Possess him

Oooooooooo

Fairy dust possession

Save yourself you dummy

Crack those wrists

What’s attitude change

So what’s happened to other dudes soul

That’s one bloody heart

lol the ending montage of pictures ft. Fairy dust.

Hiii! First ask ever um

Your recent post with Pharos and Ryoji as twins seems like a really interesting concept and I haven’t seen many aus with Pharos

I’d love to see more info on this au if you’re up for it!

this au is just smth me and my mutual have KHFKSDF this is still deeply as ryomina, just that ryoji is now split into two ppl lmao

so death got split into two when he left makoto, his pharos self at the end of the drama cd where he's older and copying makoto's appearance and then ryoji, who is what he was supposed to become coz he intended to have all their memories erased. a tiny part of him didnt want to let those memories go so tada pharos is still here

same story ryoji have with him transferring from abroad but now theres two of them as twins. pharos is the older twin while ryoji is the younger twin. ppl are pretty shocked to find that theyre actually twins but they do look the same if ryoji has his hair down. ryoji's still more of the flirt of the two but pharos also gains attention coz of the mysterious cool atmosphere he has. pharos instead only flirts with makoto ahaha. he's human now so he'll take the chance to be closer to makoto. ryoji also ends up doing that coz it's ryoji we know how he is ahaha

they still merge together at the end as nyx avatar tho to become whole again. but thats it for now this is a pretty new au for me so i havent really thought up all the details ;;w;;

Hou Hsiao-hsien's "風櫃來的人" (The Boys From Fengkuei) November 19, 1983.

[moondrama]

Was excited to finally have a historical kdrama without any of the gender swapping bs but Queen Woo is such a disappointing, vulgar mess.

Edit:

@scarroxana You know full well what I mean. Their typical shows aren't like this unless it's a very niche, rare thing and many many many people like them to be that way. Idk why you guys always bring in "they don't have sex" arguments, so useless and besides the point.
