#you know what this will be#not a polish artwork this time just a self-made gif from one of my favourite movies of all time#i guess forman was czech so it's still central-estern europe#but that gif is generally too good not to be giffed and has been with me for a while#like look i wouldn't be going through the trouble of hiding my thoughts in tags under visual arts#if i didn't respect that people enjoy the direction cc took thoschei in#but ffs it's cosi fan tutte in reverse#cft is an arguably misgynistic and a teensy bit racist by current standards opera#but what can you do it's the 18th century and two artisans trying to appeal to austrian court#but on a deeper level it's a story about pitfalls of deifying the object of affection instead of loving them as they are#in all of their human downfalls passions vies and virtues#and i feel this is what cc did to my morons#like one of the things that made this relationship so special to me is the intimacy of knowing someone for centuries#seeing through all of their good and evil masks and having a concoction of feelings that still feature love of what's underneath#yes there's jealousy too but jealousy is still a feeling for an equal amadeus is prime example of it#why just why would you make THE MASTER so keen on deifying the doctor even if spitefully#like i already made the case for why the potd fundamentally doesn't work afa *being the doctor* is concerned#but the very desire is no longer resonant just empty simulacric sentimentality#this is reversing from loving and hating someone as they are towards empty deification#and as wolfie says: that's not love this is just rubbish#and idk maybe if there was some cathartic realisation on the master's part?#or if cc's keen on keeping him a moron then some relfection from the companions?#but no the story the companions even the doctors memories are absolutely in on the idea#that the reason the master is not the doctor is magic of friendship :3 not memories and suchlike#details that make up the person#idk it just upsets me to see my child being a begrudging agnus dei and pontifex maximus in the show's narcissistic cult#i mean like with ttc this might have worked if it was given to someone else?#say after tdotd and hb there pops up a time lord absolutely idolizing the doctor?#we might even have a discussion on celebrity politics and cancel culture#but no let's just dump it on a character that's always stood out for the lack of delusions about the protagonist
