i’ve seen furiosa three times now, and i keep coming back to the idea of it being a story told as oral history. it’s mythic, it’s legendary, it’s sprawling, and it’s just an absolute joy to watch. it feels like storytelling at its very essence. it’s the kind of story that got told around a camp fire three thousand years ago.

i think you can feel its mythology most in its inaccuracies and missing pieces. we don’t know exactly how dementus and his crew brought down the leader of gas town; we just know that he did it. we don’t know every detail of the 40 days wasteland war; we just know how it ended. it feels like reading from a history book and there’s a footnote at the bottom noting the uncertainty surrounding certain aspects of the story.

furiosa is entirely the vessel through which the story is told. she’s our lens. if she doesn’t know what happened (dementus didn’t drag her into gas town; she doesn’t know what happened exactly) (she was in the citadel watching the 49 day war from a distance; she doesn’t know the details), neither does the audience. she’s set up to be a pretty reliable narrator (and so is the physical narrator, the history man), but she can’t help what she simply doesn’t know.

that’s why i find the ending so interesting, too. the introduction of the idea that maybe the peach tree isn’t true, that stories got passed around saying that furiosa simply shot dementus or tortured him to death in the same tree where he did the same to her mother, is something most *films* don’t do. it’s something that myths do, something that a real breathing person would do if they were verbally telling you the story.

because it’s an oral history!!

watched haikyuu dumpster battle yesterday and BOY do i fricking LOVE VOLLEYBALL

spoilers ahead!

the way kenma's "keep interesting" was portrayed was waaay better than expected, like, i knew it was a tense moment between kenma and hinata but when he said it in the movie i pissed my pants that was SCARY AS HELL

Kenma you will always be famous

AND FUCKING KUROO. I LOVE THIS MAN SO MUCH. I letarlly screamed when he laughed at the end

Its a shame i get to see it in a country were it isnt very popular, since i was the only lunatic who screamed the whole time, i was shushed twice and almost got kicked out of the theaters.

Bitch its the premier!!?!? Of fucking haikyuu?!!? The dumpster battle??!!?! The match i have been waiting to see animated since 2018!?!!??! LET ME BE HAPPY

Ngl i cryed real tears when kageyama put the ball up for hinata and said "now fly", it was fantastic

I managed to conivnce some friends to go with me and i actually punched them out of excitement every time anyone recieved the ball in a rally, im really sorry guys

I remember being told that furudate used to make horror mangas and IT SHOWS, when i read the match for the first time i got goosebumps in a whole bunch of panels, and the movie MADE THOSE PANELS PERFECT IM SHAKING

AND THE WAY KENMA WAS PANTING AND SHAKING AND THE SCENE CHANGED!!??!??! OH MY FUCKING GOOOODDDD

And daishou at the end- that was a gift from heaven, thank you very much

The only thing i wouldve wanted more of the movie it would be the coaches backstories, the real shit

Like, nekomata and ukkei friendship was jsut so fucking wholesome they were besties and rivals and they pushed each other to their limits and motivated each other and they never got to play a real match against each ither in high school so they became coaches and their schools were rivals and they were PEAK and then ukkai got sick and nekomata retired just to both of them be back in play, and then ukkai getting sick again and keishin taking his place and THE FRICKING HANDSHAKE DID HAPOEN AND I SCREAMED AND CRIED AND SHOUTED AND AND AND I WILL NEVER SHUT UP ABOUT THEM

Aaaaaaaaaa this was supposed to be shorter but im way too excited about this freaks playing volleyball to not say the least. I think ive never done a post this long. Or a post in general, i just repost shit, thats the blog's name lol

Anyways, bokuaka canon and i can die happy now

[yea-baiyi]

what if i wrote an essay about how the way the nimona movie is in conversation with the original comic. about the shift in dynamic between ballister and nimona from gen x-millennial to millennial-gen z. how the themes and conflicts explored in the story were changed as a result. and how every aspect of the movie was painstakingly adapted to perfectly communicate the new perspective and message. what if.

idk what about dog day afternoon made me go so insane but like. the fact sonny is a character who tries to make everyone happy so bad but he's a terrible person and the efforts always go wrong. every decision he makes is to make someone else feel better but it doesn't fix anything, it doesn't fix his mistakes it doesn't fix their problems it doesn't fix the whole situation he just slaps a bandaid on a broken bone and says there, i helped! im trying my best can't you see! and the whole time he's digging his grave deeper and deeper and he wipes the sweat off of his brow and says there, it's fixed now, it's working, we've been doing so well, why did you broke it when it was going so well, because he's incapable of seeing that he's standing in the grave he dug himself. he keeps trying and it's all for nothing. masterclass

Every day I feel normal until I remember that Nimona’s on my official auDHD diagnostic report T-T

"Bluh bluh why does speed racer use so much greenscreen" well if you had eyes you'd see that a lot of the time the foreground and background are both in focus at the same time, paying homage to the way animation doesn't have to adhere to camera focal rules. It's a dick as fuck effect and i think more filmmakers should explore stuff like that

If you had a soul you'd also see that there is so much love and swag put into this movie it makes you transgender
