Gael García Bernal in Dreaming of Julia / Cuban Blood (2003, dir. Juan Gerard)

[side note: this film was initially released in a widescreen format. Indeed, I HAVE a digital copy in widescreen format, but with subtitles burned in so no use for giffing. Every other copy I can find on DVD or digital format (it had a lot of releases under different titles) is in this cropped aspect ratio instead, so this is the one you're getting. It does look better in widescreen, though]

I think there’s something deeply wrong with my brain.

I’m so excited for s3! I hope none of this happens.

chat how do we feel about j x julia... jjulia.....jcest.....

probably neither of them would fold this easily (considering julia being literally everything j hates/she would make sure julia knows that + julia probably still being just as stubborn and combative and hating j back for not worshiping the ground she walks on) but who cares!!! love wins <3

regardless i think j is weak to pretty girls and that includes herself ig 🫡🔥🔥🙏🙏💯💯👍

had an incredibly vivid dream that dan and phil had a baby and they were dropping hints about if for a few videos and of course the phannies figured it out and set a camp on the baby hill and then they did an instagram q&a viddy and chose all the baby related questions but were denying everything in a comically exaggerated way while we could hear a baby crying in the background and at the end they gave up the act and introduced us to baby oliver

and for the next month the main phandom discourse was whether they adopted or if phil gave birth to him and i don't think we ever got answers

Misleading movie posters, an occasional series...

This movie (also known as Dreaming of Julia and as Cuban Blood) was filmed in 2000, before Amores perros had been released. Gael has a small part (it's significant in terms of the plot of the film, but he's really really really not on screen much and has very few lines).

It was released in the US in 2003, with a poster focusing on Andhy Méndez (that little kid with the bicycle right down near the bottom of this poster) who's the actual central character of the film, but giving Gael third billing behind Harvey Keitel and Iben Hjejle. That's kind of misleading already, but then...

...it got a Mexican release in 2006 and this is the poster they used. There are going to have been a lot of disappointed people in audiences. If you stare at the poster for a while you've already seen more of him than you're going to see in the film.

(Oh, and also it isn't at all the kind of film you'd assume it was from the poster. It's actually a sort of bittersweet elegaic remembrance of childhood under the Batista regime on the eve of the Cuban Revolution.)

my take on butch4butch mkulia for lesbian week

[coffin-ramblings]

i know that most of the fandom accepted that Julia meant nothing to Andrew after this month's dev log and was just an object to project his feelings for Ashley on, but I realized that we were already subtly hinted that in Andrew's dream. We see him directly talk with the cultist, Leyley, and Ashley, who all ask something from him, help him with his goal of compartmentalizing his feelings, and can choose to not to talk with him because of their own interests (Leyley), feelings (Ashley), or to have him focus on doing something for them (cultist). However, if Andrew interacts with Julia, he never directly talks with her. We only get a flashback from his POV with her. If he interacts with her again, we only see his thoughts of not caring she's forever gone from his life. If you bring Leyley with you, she is the only part of his mind that treats her like an actual person who can act, react, and have feelings. Why she is the one to do that and reacts like this is a whole other post to write about.

The fact that she said that suggests that Andrew yearns for a relationship with Julia again, even though he knows that won't happen. But as we can see with him not feeling bothered he's never seeing her again and the voicemails video, he has no affection and care for her. Julia is his symbol of normalcy, a shield to protect him and Ashley from being picked on in high school, and an acceptable object for his affection and sexuality. Otherwise, she might as well just be a mannequin for him. This puts his indifference towards her getting harassed by Ashley to the point of self-harm and a possible attempted suicide in a much worse light. Does her death really matter to him if she wasn't a person to begin with?
