Nureyev was nureyev-ing a bit too much even for my taste#but I just LOVE the dark unsettling downright creepy story#especially in the midst of all the fluff and candy canes and christmas' cheer#like give me a freudian nutcracker#and give it to me right about now!#is it weird the old one-eyed limping uncle turns Clara's prince in the act II?#you bet it is#it's creepy#it's disturbing#criminal even#it has no business being in a “christmas fairy story”#but guess what#that's precisely why I LOVE it#it is quite literally the only nutcracker I am willing to be interested in#because balletomane confession#I hate nutcracker#with a passion#it's stupid#it doesn't make sense#and on top of that there are kids everywhere#(no#so there is a nutcracker that leaves families with children horrified?#alarmed or upset?
