The ballad of Buster Scruggs, 2018

[framespermoment]

"The quality of mercy is not strain'd. It droppeth as the gentle rain from heaven Upon the place beneath. It is twice blest: It blesseth him that gives and him that takes. 'Tis mightiest in the mightiest; it becomes The thronèd monarch better than his crown. His scepter shows the force of temporal power, The attribute to awe and majesty Wherein doth sit the dread and fear of kings; But mercy is above this sceptered sway. It is enthronèd in the hearts of kings; It is an attribute to God Himself; And earthly power doth then show likest God's When mercy seasons justice. Therefore, Jew, Though justice be thy plea, consider this: That in the course of justice none of us Should see salvation. We do pray for mercy, And that same prayer doth teach us all to render The deeds of mercy. I have spoke thus much To mitigate the justice of thy plea, Which, if thou follow, this strict court of Venice Must needs give sentence 'gainst the merchant there."

— Portia, in William Shakespeare, The Merchant of Venice, act 4, scene 1

I've seen The Ballad of Buster Scruggs on shrooms like 3 times, and I am thoroughly convinced that is the ONLY way to experience the film in all its true glory ✨️

So, I am in love with @cakesmelons Frozen!Dreamtale AU. And I couldn’t help but think about the songs. Because you can’t have Frozen without the songs.

So I changed some of the lyrics for some of the songs to fit the AU. Hope you like them

Could these be better? Absolutely. But I’m not a song writer so this is all you get

I'm pretty sure this was the literal inspiration for this character/story including the death scene.

The Ballad of Buster Scruggs (2018) | dir. Joel Coen, Ethan Coen

The Coen brothers reflect what I do like about the US. The wild western rustic charm/grit, the California weirdness, and Minnesota chill. These movies are extremely refreshing and don’t have any forced political agenda inserted unlike the majority of what Hollywood puts out. The Coen brothers stay true in their work and shows us these nuanced but beautiful aspects of the US. They’re really good at showing the viewer beautiful wide screen shots of nature as well as having these quiet moments that just let you digest the film, only to be baffled by the next scene! Their comedy is gold. I’m going to have watch every single movie directed by the Coen brothers. I’ve already seen True Grit, the Big Lebowski, the Ballad of Buster Scruggs and Fargo. These movies make you feel like your entering the lives of the characters they are about, but these characters feel like individuals living in their own little world. It doesn’t feel manufactured. They’re living in their own natural environment, and that’s beautiful.

Update: I’m adding O Brother Where Art Thou?, A Serious Man, Raising Arizona, No Country for Old Men, and Burn After Reading on my list of favorite films (which is exactly 140 films so far), along with True Grit, and The Big Lebowski.
