#closer inspection

[In the oven now, yes. Very close to the mouth. Don't put it in the back. Perhaps the title put them off closer inspection. So we got 90 seconds. The pizza is cooking. We got to go to commercial.]

In the oven now, yes. Very close to the mouth. Don't put it in the back. Perhaps the title put them off closer inspection. So we got 90 seconds. The pizza is cooking. We got to go to commercial. The pizza was delicious. We could have gone back on a regular basis. I could have gone with the better cheese but here went. Thank you so much for my good work the whole day. I'm on about five times on this pizza. It's so good and that has happened on two occasions.

This very daft dog managed to get a little stick he found in the woods stuck in his throat in such a way that the vet had to sedate him to remove it and everyone thought he was suffocating to death.

(Everyone = me and the llamas, who looked either concerned or inconvenienced* by the sounds Pandolf was making when he came to find me in the pasture like "help I'm dying") (* hard to tell with llamas)

Of course he chose to have a near-death experience on a Saturday afternoon 15min before the vet clinic closed until Monday and of course no one picked up when I called the clinic to ask them to please not close, so I had to drive very fast and hope for the best 😭

(when I was waiting at the vet for Pan to wake up from anaesthesia I met this chewable toy llama and sent the pic to my mum like "ha, look, it's a llama. For dogs" and 30min later when I was on my way home with Pandolf she replied to my text like "I hope you bought it for Pandolf!! he deserves it!" and she made me feel like a monster for not buying Pandolf a toy to reward him for swallowing a stick. He already has three chewable llamas at home, come on.)

He's okay!! Not very proud of himself (tail firmly between legs) but grateful to be able to breathe and feeling confusedly flattered because everyone at the vet petted him and called him brave and soft-eared

A thing I really enjoy about RGU is how when producing the anime the crew was aware of the budget and limits that often come with TV shows at that time and created their own cinematographic language based on them.

The roses, the frames, the transformation sequences... Not only were they able to use them smartly but also make them reinforce the core themes of the show; that of repetition, circularity, a repeated movement, a revolution.

I personally greatly appreciate when narrative media is -meta- not in a direct way but in its semiotics. Utena creates this language based on repetition and is constantly seen subverting it, adding new "rules".

Episode 33 is cinematographicaly one of the episodes I find most interesting because they literally put the turning point of the story (I personally think of this episode as a turning point because we see Utena finally with her "prince"; except that, instead of the happy "ending" one would expect in traditional stories, it is here where everything comes into place and the grim reality is made perfectly aware. Were Utena a traditional princess story, episode 33 would mark a happy conclusion. Instead it is only the beggining of what lies inside the box and once opened it cannot be closed again) in an episode that is all about repetition. A recap.

Also, for as much as many people gloss over the Black Rose Arc I very much think it crucial to establish all of RGU's symbols. Because Utena doesn't tell us things, it wants us to learn them by noticing the patterns, by seeing the repetitions and where they are being broken, so that we ask ourselves why. The elevator sequence is one of such cases where we learn more of the characterization of these characters by seeing how they act inside of it. It's even a basic screenplay exercise: "how would your characters act trapped inside an elevator".

Mikage itself is a shadow, not just of himself but of Utena as well, an omen forever frozen in time.

Because that's another theme, shadows. And how in a way they are echoes, simplified and distorted repetitions of oneself.

And while shadows are cast in contrast, projections are cast forward. While one is a memory of something, projections are the reproduced illusion of it.

Utena works with parallels and repetitions and understanding their semantics and syntax allows us, the viewers, even subconsciously to feel their weight.
