The Heart Killers' Colors Parallels? - Ep. 7

Before I watch the next episode of The Heart Killers in a few hours, I need to sit in my truth — as far as episode seven I am concerned, Style and Kant are a Red Rascal and a Green Guy, but they've been turning blue as they fall in love with Fadel and Bison, so they can help them calm down. Therefore, everyone is being tamed.

Kant and Style are best buddies who are worried about each other.

And they should be worried about each other since they are living the same life!

Several people have pointed out that Style and Bison get along because they are both brazen while Kant and Fadel are taking care of their younger brothers and willing to do anything for them. The characters are the same text, but different font.

Style and Kant's (hit)men are in love with them (and they aren't faking it as much as they would like to believe).

Which can be seen by Fadel and Bison being surrounded by their men's true colors.

But that's the thing that keeps throwing me off about Kant and Style because I don't think they've actually hidden their true colors. Kant is a tattoo artist with a record, a younger brother, and a fear of the water. Style is a flirty mechanic whose mom died from cancer. The only thing they've really hidden from Fadel and Bison is that they know exactly who their guys are - hitmen.

Bison, who carries his poison in his ring, gets a necklace from Kant.

Fadel, who carries his poison in his necklace, is presented a ring from Style.

Style and Kant not only know their guys well enough to find their balance jewelry, but Style and Kant are Bison and Fadel.

Or at least them-adjacent.

Bison and Style truly believe in the power of love while Kant and Fadel . . . not so much.

But Fadel and Bison don't really think they know Kant and Style because they believe everything that has happened was part of a con, which is why I think Fadel and Bison are making Kant and Style into (dis)loyal Blue Boys.

People have pointed out that Black Brooder Fadel questioned Red Rascal Bison wearing red outfits in the beginning of the series only to end up wearing a red shirt, but I want to take it further because I find it more interesting that Kant and Style ended up in a pool and a lake wearing blue with guns pointed at them by Bison and Fadel who were wearing blue and red.

It's fascinating that when confronted by these two fiery brothers

That these two turned blue in places that hold water.

Because I think that's the true taming!

We started with the heat.

But maybe we need to douse that fire (you see where they are, right?! bathtub, pool, eh?).

And a chill Green Guy and a wild Red Rascal only made the fire in Fadel and Bison worse.

But if we had two calming Blue Boys . . .

Fadel and Bison would be a hell of a lot cooler.

Therefore, everyone is being tamed.

About me

 Hi all. Ruby R. Haney is my name. While I was studying to become a graphic designer, my abilities weren't adequate. I was forced to stop drawing as the time was running out. He started to walk up for everyone to check out what they had. He then took one of his works and showed it to everyone. It was a very detailed portrait, drawn with markers of different thicknesses. The image contained all details: the lips, eyebrows and eyes were displayed. But the artist was particularly interested in hair. He tried to illustrate it as clearly as possible. We started to work out the specifics. And I thought - my work no one will view, which is good, and now everything becomes much more exciting because the less time - the better my ability to draw in the form of a child! Once the portrait was done in just thirty seconds, the teacher reviewed it again. The remarks were too detailed! Too much detail! This is great! Wow! That's fantastic. It's exactly the same!

 He then announced the next stage. In just 10 seconds you can have a portrait of your neighbor. Everyone's spirits rose immediately. Is this a joke? How do you draw something in just ten seconds? But he announced: Time's up!

 Looking back on that day, it became clear that the very first lesson I was taught by my teacher was one of the most important. It was at that point that an amazing thing happened. This is the kind of thing that business coaches and team leaders have to deal with. He was comfortable with everyone. The easing up was due to imagination. People began getting acquainted with each other, and began to talk, and the first companies started to develop.

 That's how I learned to be a designer, and now I work as an editor in a fashion magazine https://decordesigntrends.com/. While a few years may seem like a lot of change to anyone, for our magazine it was a huge change for us and a great test! In retrospect we were eager to discover anything that could stimulate an interest in expanding our knowledge, growing and exploring. As we worked on interior design, we discovered that the limitations of that structure were hindering us. We wanted to discover new concepts and broaden the boundaries of what could be done. We imagined creating spaces that were not just functional but also a complete universe that had a thorough understanding of the design and lifestyle. And over time this has turned into a passion, and we're thrilled to infect everyone around us with our passion: customers, friends’ students, even some fellow travelers in the air. The design of bathrooms, dining rooms, rooms, offices, tables, floristry Gastronomy, and table decor - and that's just the beginning!

April Viewing List

So I decided to just keep a little diary of all the films that I see every month which seems like a great way to sort of talk about what I’ve seen even as I’m still hiding viewing indexes for almost every year ever. It’ll basically just be a chronological index with a grade and whatever I tweeted off about the movie when I saw it. And without further ado, here is what I saw in April!

The Love Witch (16, C+): Gorgeous outfits, but often teeters into the kind of film you discover on MST3K. It’s own ideas often inchoate - April 1, 2017

Jane Eyre (11, B): Tough, cold. Rich and economical in its storytelling. Aesthetically inhabits Jane’s headspace so fully, as does Mia. - April 2, 2017

Zero Dark Thirty (12, B): Uneven realization of livewire narrative culminates in a powerful last act. Fine ensemble, Chastain the weak link - April 2, 2017

Pan’s Labyrinth (06, C): Visually stunning, especially the ghouls. Affecting, not as much as it desires. Blunt politics, cipherish actors. - April 2, 2017

T2: Judgement Day (91, A-): Approaches an Aliens precipice while improving and expanding upon the original in every way. Phenomenal. - April 3, 2017 (Rewatch)

Queen of Katwe (16, B): Delights in and cares all of its characters while following Phiona to glory. Great look, costumes. Such fun! - April 5, 2017

Raw (17, B): Affecting. Casual scenes, revulsions play better than the ostentatious ones. Isn’t college self-discovery fun? Rumpf! - April 5, 2017 (review)

Donnie Darko (01, A-): No tweet this time. (Rewatch)

The Club (US 16, B+): Such strange, horrific textures in realizing this tale of abuse as an infection on attackers, victims, the complicit. - April 6, 2017

Safe (95, A): Whopper of an ending caps an already potent, rich horror story. How can we ever be free? Moore, Haynes and inimitable pair - April 7, 2017 (Rewatch)

The Martian (15, B-): Never feared for Damon’s life. Still compelling, but feels limited. Comic tone, teamwork, space smarts keep it fresh. - April 7, 2017

The Whisperers (67, B): I wish Forbes’ neglected, spooky tone his a richer narrative within its odd tones. That said, Evans is unstoppable. - April 8, 2017

Tyrannosaur (11. B-): Colman breathes life into this potent, nasty work, limited as it is by generic notes, Marsan’s work. Mullan’s fine. - April 8, 2017

Machete (10, D): Surely the worst thing Rodriguez has made. Horrendous look. Political narrative weirdly ineffective. Only gets worse - April 9, 2017

This was bad so I’m gonna watch the Mickey Rourke segment of Sin City to make myself feel better.

Bridges of Spies (15, C+): I think I get nostalgia as a term now. Compelling moments, especially in Berlin. Hanks an asset, Kaminski is not. - April 9, 2017

I truly don’t get the Mark Rylance thing, or how Hanks got no momentum in such a weak field. Bryan Cranston over him? What the fuck

I Don’t Feel At Home In This World Anymore (17, B): Violent parable that remains funny as shit gets even more disastrous. Lynskey, Blair emerge triumphant. - April 10, 2017

Frances Ha (13, B): Triumph of mood, script, characterization in depicting millennial purgatory. Generous to its characters. Always fun(ny). - April 10, 2017

Philomena (13, C+): Tonal variance mostly works, parallels either underplayed or under explored. Economical yet padded. I liked Dench - April 11, 2017

Farewell, My Queen (12, B+): Unsettling tensions only accrue. What laws are worth keeping in the face of imminent death? Three great perfs. - April 11, 2017

Cameraperson (16, B+/A-): History of the world in B-roll vignettes. Of your life in other people’s. So intimate. But who’s Kirsten? - April 13, 2017

There’s a point in the 20th Century Women Film Experience podcast where Nick praises the canon of fiction films that show women fostering ->

and writing and burdened with carrying the history of the world in their lifetimes. This is equally deserving among that esteemed group.

It almost feels like Greta Gerwig’s art project in 20th Century Women realized. A self portrait via her most treasured moments on the job.

Blue Jay (16, B+): Unpacks 20 years of baggage as leads revert to old selves, rhythms, wonder where it all went. Paulson, Duplass revelatory. - April 13, 2017

Little Sister (16, C+): Poor audio, good makeup. Actors help. Gets better at being itself after the death metal baby dance, if never great. - April 14, 2017

Fish Tank (10, A-): An Education, but grottier, with more authentic emotions and characters. Imagination abound in images, direction. - April 14, 2017

Personal Shopper (17, C): More ideas that Clouds but so few sparks. Best in spirit realm. Often tedious. Assayas, Stewart too comfortable. - April 15, 2017 (review)

The Devils (71, A-): Perverse and horrific in every way possible, but stunningly realized without getting marred by its own madness - April 15, 2017

The Tree of Life (11, A): No tweet - April 15, 2017

Your Name (16, A): Body-swap comedy grows more poignant as obstacles separating our heroes seem insurmountable. Beautifully drawn and plotted. - April 17, 2017

In the Valley of Elah (07, C-): Unstoppable thesis meets unsubtle direction. Lame reveal. Weird color. Jones forges a path to quiet glory. - April 18, 2017

Planet Terror (07, B): Such pure, unfettered delight and Rodriguez-y looseness that never makes its aesthetic a hinderance. Fantastic look. - April 18, 2007

Set it Off (96, B): Lead quartet revitalizes a script that struggles to see even them. Keith, soundtrack often embarrass. Latifah indelible - April 19, 2017

Margaret (11, A-/A): Accrues such wide sympathies, thorns, and heartbreaks in its sprawl. Fullness of character, city, and chaos in its mess. - April 19, 2017

Elena (12, A): Suspense within certainty, human passion inside cinematic restraint. We are what we want, and what we’ll do to get it - April 20, 2017

Long Day’s Journey Into Night (62, A): Heroic long shots enable even more heroic performances. Beautiful realization of O’Neil’s prose - April 20, 2017 (review)

Pariah (11, B): Smart, earnest, gorgeously framed and colored drama that works even at its most obvious moments. Applause for all its women. - April 20, 2017

The Midnight Meat Train (08, D): Lurid convictions, some neat images. But ultimately a tasteless, racist, even grosser object as it continues. - April 22, 2017

The Faces of Love (13, C+): Bening, Harris spark. Lonely. Script better than expected. Shoulda been Hansen-Løve’s or Sirk’s. - April 23, 2017

A Bigger Splash (16, B-): Lots of effort to look effortless. Functions without ever settling into itself. Interesting influences. Fiennes!! - April 26, 2017

Free Fire (17, B-): I get the Tarantino comparisons, but when was the last time he made something this taut and energetic? Fun cast - April 26, 2017

The Lost City of Z (17, A-): No tweet - April 26, 2017

What Have I Done to Deserve This? (84, A-): Wonderfully eccentric and warm with all its characters. Almodovar, cast (Maura!) make magic. - April 27, 2017

The Big Short (15, C+): Frenzied and raggedy, kinda smug. Works pretty well within those limits. Good thing that’ll never happen again. - April 27, 2017

Death Proof (07, B): Did you know Tarantino watched 70′s movies? Gripping car chases. Talks like something’s happening when nothing is. - April 28, 2017 (rewatch)

Talk to Her (02, A): No tweet. - April 28, 2017

My Blueberry Nights (07, C): Marries the nothing talky-talk of Death Proof with glossier lensing, unearned ostentation. Cast helps - April 29, 2017

Southside With You (16, B+): So politically and personably principled, with plenty of charm. Great couple that just happens to be the Obamas. - April 29, 2017

My Entire High School Sinking Into the Sea (17, B+): As morbidly hilarious, petty, and sweet as any high schooler I was friends with. What great visuals - April 29, 2017

Colossal (17, B): Dizzying ambition, at its best once all its conceits get off the ground. Real awareness of its own stakes. Sudeikis! - April 29, 2017

Fuck me, that’s a lot of movies, and fuck me again for not thinking of ways to articulate some 140 character praise for three pictures I really loved. Please feel free to talk about any of these to gush or ask what the fuck one of these tweets was talking about, I know I articulated some thoughts poorly. Soon all of these will be in perfectly articulated haikus. Or, if you want, recommend a personal fave as I trawl through every movie ever made. Have a good May, and have a good fucking summer vacation!

[respectthepetty]

I forgive Fourever You for its odd editing and pacing because episode thirteen was all about the rain, and not just the actual rain or raining man (even though I very much appreciated it).

But raining colors!

Like I thought Arthit was a Black Brooder before.

But now I'm sure because episode thirteen gave me everything I wanted, so I'm excited to see what secrets this arrogant and seductive man is hiding.

But Green Guy North is magically riding his friend's green bike this episode instead of his normal blue bike, so I was more excited for that.

And Tonfah has a lovely talk with North about Johan being able to be himself with North (aka Johan can show North his true color).

Johan gets to be a passionate and aggressive Red Rascal around North.

Because North doesn't need Johan to pretend, Johan feels safe to be his needy self around North. He can just chill with his Green Guy without pressure.

Which is why Johan is all in and wears his Green Guy's color. (These shirts are green, right? Right?! They have to be green!)

Let me consult the color consistency folks.

WAIT! I'M NOT GOING TO DOUBT MYSELF! THEY ARE WEARING GREEN!

Now, I can transition to these two!

They are in Blue Boy Hill's color!

Because just like Johan and North, THEY ARE IN LOVE!

And when Hill asks Ter to move in, the entire window shines blue with yellow lights backing up Yellow/Orange Oddity Ter.

Ter was always meant to live in this apartment with his boyfriend!

Because Hill has been in love his Yellow/Orange Oddity so long that his entire life is about making physical space for Ter the same way that Ter takes up all the space in Hill's heart.

And that's where that odd pacing comes back, but everyone is in blue, so I. Don't. Care!

Especially because these two color-coded boys met in their true colors and instantly hit it off!

And Hill even wrote with a blue pen!

Then, they met again, in their colors!

And Hill had a blue notebook to go with his blue pen, but Ter also had blue on his shirt and blue shorts. They were falling in love with their real selves!!!!

Until this Blue Boy had to leave.

But it doesn't matter because they are together now and moving in together and so are Johan and North and everyone is wearing everyone's color, so I don't even care about the pacing or editing or that this thirty image limit has once again hindered my expressive liberty BECAUSE THE COLORS MEAN THINGS AND EVERYONE IS IN LOVE!
