“You see scars. I see the courage of a child fighting to save his mother. These are the hands of a warrior who’s destined to challenge the gods.”

Went to watch Monkey Man again with my brother. Noticed another thing.

Spoilers.

I want to pat Dev Patel in the back because. Wow.

The Kid's love for his mother made him burnt his future away (the root lines inside his palms), but also his mother saved him by attracting all of the attentions to her.

Later on he was saved by the hijra, he slept under Ardhanarishvara's feet, found a guru in Alpha to reconnect to himself and refind his purpose.

He returned the favour by returning to the ring, fought then won so that he could give the hijra money to fend for themselves and remind Alpha that they were too warriors.

Which lead to them entering the battle to fight alongside with him.

He was kind + has respect towards Sita and she felt a sense of kin / fascination + empathy to him. Sita later saved him from Queenie.

His entire life circled around women and their kindness, feminism and motherly love.

DEV PATEL'S MONKEY MAN (2024)

if a man wishes to challenge the gods, he must become more than a man. he must become a beast.

smthin about monkey man i think about is how unacceptable it is to show trans and gender diverse people getting angry and getting violent in their anger, because of how that's historically been used as shorthand for deviancy and villainy in narrative. when a trans or gender diverse person is upset with a system in film and resorts to violence, the audience knows not to side with them, but with the system trying to stop them

by contrast cisgender men and women have movies showing them enacting extreme violence (take this movie and every revenge movie ever) with the understanding that we are on their side

this is one of the only times ive seen what i'd call a mainstream film (albeit a mainstream film that's a passion project on a comparatively low budget that only got a cinematic release because of another film-maker with influence) depict -- in this case hijra anger and capacity for violence -- as righteous, as uncomplicatedly worth rooting for

very satisfying to know many people watched this statement, thank you dev patel and jordan peele

[abitofren]

did anyone else feel like they were having a religious experience watching dev patel strangle a cop w a chain while that somebody to love edm remix was playing? because holy shit

WHISPERED CORNERS

A/n - finally got around to watching Monkey Man and I loved this movie!! Go watch it if you haven’t yet!

SUMMARY: you were fascinated by this stranger, and he with you.

Masterlist 10

You were fascinated by this stranger, and he with you. Training in the community with the ones you called family brought him closer to you.

Sitting around the fire, you allowed time to pass to truly just admire his features. The brown eyes admiring the joy that surrounded you all. Curls that only added to his features and emphasized the cheekbones that adorned his face.

In a juvenile way, you felt jealous of the long lashes that kissed along his cheeks when he blinked or was asleep.

Kid could feel your eyes on him the longer you stared.

The two of you had only acknowledged each other through small talk, but he felt safe with you. If it wasn’t talking to the leader of your community, you were a kindred spirit that made him feel welcomed and safe.

Feeling his eyes shift to you, the heat from the fire added to the blush to your cheeks. Out of a corner of your eyes, you saw Kid offer a shy smile back at you.

Later that night, you two had snuck away from the group. Under the pale moonlight, you admired the soft vulnerability on his face.

A finger gently traced along your face and dragged along your lips. For a moment, you were a comforting strength to the young man and he a gentle admirer for you.

With a shuddering breath, it was one, two kisses pressed to your lips as you held onto him to deepen it.

everyone say thank you dev patel 🫶🏻

monkey man asks important questions like: what if john wick had a complex subplot about class struggles and inequalities? what if a group of marginalized trans people helped killing the leaders of the rising conservative party? and last but most importantly: do you know how incredibly handsome is Dev Patel covered in blood?
