"Your simple-mindedness is fascinating. 'My father stole less than these other robbers.' It's only a villain that can say those words. An empty being that doesn't believe in the human experience.

Why, thank you."

El Conde (2023) Directed by Pablo Larraín, Cinematography by Edward Lachman

“The whole film is about the seduction of fascism, done as a satirical comedy,” says “El Conde” cinematographer Edward Lachman, who alongside director Pablo Larraín spins an alluring horror story about Chilean dictator Augusto Pinochet as a bloodthirsty vampire living out his final days. Pinochet’s unchecked power lasted for 17 years beginning in 1973 and influenced every corner of the country, including the church.

Depicting the religious perspective in the narrative is Carmencita (Paula Luchsinger), a nun sent to perform an exorcism who instead is seduced by Pinochet and wants to become a vampire herself. With a single bite she drops her rosary beads and flies outside. Photographing the sequence was done practically over green screen for its realism. A rigging crew specializing in aerial work was brought in to hang Luchsinger from wires attached to a large crane. Camera crews then filmed her performance as she glided through the sky like a bird finding its wings. “Working off what’s there, the light, the wind, her movement in that space, all those things contributed to a visceral experience,” says Lachman. The moment of power doesn’t last long for the character — a fitting warning for those who try to seize it for their own gain.

spoiler warning! (and tw for mentions of EDs)

nakshatras as movies i love

Charismatic and charming, these individuals are often born with an innate sense of physical or emotional rhythm and can make excellent dancers, choreographers, or athletes. However, this gift can present in other ways, such as Marilyn Monroe's (dhanishta moon) talent for micro-expressions and angle positioning while on camera.

Just so, Dhanishtas often see the world as a choreographed dance, with correct moves and incorrect moves. Strangely, the world expects them to be choreographed as well. They're often belittled for having a foot out of place or a wrong opinion. It's common for the Capricorn and Aquarius placements to struggle under this pressure, wondering if being genuinely themselves will ever be a possibility.

Marilyn Monroe and Princess Diana both share Dhanishta Moons and cults of personality. The strange thing about fame is that people forget just how crushing and alienating it can be for those in the limelight. Although both celebrities are now remembered fondly, the sheer amount of hate mail, bad press, and vitriol both women received in life was astounding. Dhanishtas (especially femme-presenting natives) are often stuck in a madonna-whore dichotomy, either elevated to a pedestal or thrust into a pit of snakes. Being seen as charismatic by the outside world does not protect you from insecurity, and these natives are often self-conscious and suffer from imposter syndrome.

Notably, the nakshatra is known for having bad marital karma, especially with their first marriage or if they have gotten married early. They often marry people that expect them to keep playing an act, who get upset when they realize the Dhanishta is a living person with flaws and opinions. However, these natives (especially those with moon+venus+7h placements) often find love with a later marriage or if they've waited until they're older to marry.

Nevertheless, the Moon-ruled star often has a fiery temper and tend to be Papa Wolves or Mama Bears, being very protective of their children. Being so tossed around in life, they often just want their children to be healthy and happy.

It has to be said that this nakshatra is known to be comfort eaters, at worst having an unhealthy relationship with food or even developing an eating disorder. This is especially true for femme natives, wherein they begin to see food as an escape, either withholding it from themselves out of shame, indulging excessively, or the latter alongside periods of purging. In our modern society, weight and food is just another societally-controlled measure, which can lead to disordered eating cycles. Hence, this is not true for all Dhanistas, and is just another presentation of the placement's reaction to social anxiety and pressure.
