BEST movie of all TIME

[capricorn-0mnikorn]

As of the time I am putting this into my queue, the full transcript is not yet up at the website (But it may be by the time this post hits your dash)

Summary: Giacomo Puccini died before he finished writing his final opera, "Turandot," so one of his students wrote the ending we now have, based on the notes and sketches Puccini left behind.

The problem is that "Turandot" is an original literary fairy tale (my favorite genre, BTW), set in China, and A) it's full of Orientalism, and B) the student who rewrote the ending made the strong, independent, princess who's vowed to kill any man who tries to marry her decide to submit to the hero as soon as he kisses her.

So now that "Turandot" is in the public domain (100 years after Puccini's death), the artistic director of the Washington National Opera commissioned two Chinese Americans -- one to write the words, and one to compose the music -- to create a new (But still happy)* ending.

It premieres on Saturday, 11 May, 2024/

@odd-kid-42

the way I typed out this big long thing the one time i decided not to answer an ask in a different word document only for my BROWSER TO CRASH AND LOSE EVERYTHING LOL NO TALK ME I’M ANGY

1) Describe their first date.

A little chaotic lol. Morgan gets "paid" in expensive opera tickets for a job she did, and she figures since she can't sell them she might as well use them, so she invites Glenn, on the “condition” that she gets him weed, which she does, like a true gentlewoman. Like the way you buy flowers for your date.

Turns out the tickets are for Puccini’s Turandot, which is awkward because 1) it’s in that uncomfortable liminal space of “racist but seminal part of opera canon,” in the same way Madama Butterfly is (also a Puccini work. Funny, that) and 2) Glenn’s kind of high so when the part where the Prince and the titular Turandot sing a love duet to each other almost immediately after a character has been tortured and then kills herself out of love for the Prince (spoilers for a 100 year old opera ig) Glenn just goes, “HEY MAN WHAT THE FUCK,” which makes Morgan basically howl with laughter and the two are promptly kicked out.

Personally I would have just let them stay, the opera’s basically almost over by that point, but that’s just me. Anyway, Glenn’s feeling bad but Morgan’s just like, “It’s cool, dude, shit’s racist anyway.”

They go to a bar and get a little tipsy, tipsy enough for them to come up with the brilliant idea of breaking into the classroom where Morgan does her piano tutoring (I’m assuming there was some shit-talking regarding this while they were at the bar which lead to this brilliant idea). Morgan shows off her mad skillz, Glenn is suitably impressed, and they almost get caught by security while they’re fucking around, so they hide under the piano, where the heady combination of booze + weed + adrenaline + proximity + general feeling of “wow, Morgan’s so cool” = Glenn kissing Morgan.

They leave and head to Morgan’s apartment, where things very quickly escalate, but then very suddenly and very quickly de-escalate, and the night ends with them both sleeping together, in a very literal sense, with both of them deciding that they’ll deal with things when they wake up in the morning together.

So you know, all in all, a pretty good date.

39) When and how did they admit that they loved each other? If they haven’t yet, why?

I’ve thought up a lot of situations and a lot of scenarios for these two, but the one I’ve always had trouble on was this one! I don’t actually know if they have ever said the actual words out loud. Morgan is very taciturn and guarded so she would rather show her love through her actions rather than words. Glenn is emotionally constipated in general anyway, so he also tries to show his love through his actions, with slightly less success than Morgan, but he does try. I also think both of them grew up with parents who didn’t outright say the words “I love you” to them, so for both of them it’s really awkward hearing it, too.

I think for Morgan in particular, the closest she’s ever “said” it was during a trip to Disney World. It's their first trip together as a couple, Morgan's first time ever on any Disney property, and probably their last hurrah on the east coast before they head west to California, so naturally they're both feeling like they're young, dumb and full of you know.

It’s their second day there, Morgan’s still a little bit low-key drunk from doing the Drinking Around the World challenge the night before, Glenn is basically dead on his feet from trying to do the same, so she parks Glenn on a bench so she can get them both water (and a dole whip for Glenn), and it’s taking a weirdly long time for Morgan to come back so he goes to look for her only to find her basically unleashing a no-holds-barred beat down on a face character.

He spirits her away to their motel room before she gets arrested, or worse, banned from Disney, where he patches her up and cleans her injuries (all cosmetic, thankfully) because neither of them have health insurance and want to risk going to the emergency room, and Morgan tells Glenn, (again, still kind of drunk and also wired from the adrenaline and the pain of her injuries and also from having to see a shitty person from her past in a place that’s supposed to be happy and fun) that he’s, “the only mother-fucker who can handle me,” which, as far as Just Morgan Things go, is basically a love confession anyway.

Anyway, that's why I draw Morgan with a slightly fucked up right earlobe.

21) Do they enjoy domestic life?

I had this whole long answer about how they both want kids (and Morgan wants a house, eventually) but they also both want to keep their jobs but with the type of career they have (Glenn’s is obvious, Morgan is principle dancer on tour in her prime) makes it really hard to be domestic and stay at home all the time, and even when one (or both) of them is at home base, neither want to do the stay-at-home spouse thing, but since they’re committed to staying together, they work it out, but not without their fair share of arguments and compromises, but seeing as how it all got deleted, I will just say, “not at first, but they manage and eventually they do grow to appreciate it,” and link you to this ship meme I did a long time ago to keep track of my own shit of cute couple-y domestic things they do.

15) What songs remind you of their relationship?

You just wanna know my Glenn/Morgan playlist ;p Well it’s a work in progress so maybe later.

I originally listed only 2 songs, but this time I will list 3, you’re welcome.

Blues for Klook – Eddy Louiss

The figure skating fans will know what this piece is. No lyrics, just mood, and what a mood it is. Dark, brooding and very sensual. I don’t often portray Glenn and Morgan like this, but I do think people see them as pretty sexy, individually and also definitely together in a moody, “mad, bad, and dangerous to know,” sort of way.

The Day Before You Came – ABBA

It's funny, but I had no sense of living without aim The day before you came

Probably my favorite ABBA song, despite the melancholic, wistful feel if you take the lyrics at face value it’s about a person recalling their previous dull and monotonous life before the titular ‘you’ comes along and changes things. This is also a song that is apparently subject to much more sinister interpretations, such as the ‘you” being dead or even a murder. Glenn would appreciate the conspiracy theory-ness of it all.

Marauders – Thao and the Get Down Stay Down

I got that poison Carve it on out Barely served me then And it only hurts me now My darlin’ Your patience Rain it on me I know daughters of marauders are just so hard to please

Of course I have a Thao song for the occasion. Sometimes you bring baggage into the relationship and the kindest thing you can do it ask your partner to help you bear it.

Honorable mentions include: Nature Boy (Nat King Cole), You and I (Lady Gaga), The Ugly and the Beautiful (The Real Tuesday Weld), Venus in Furs (Velvet Underground)

Hi! I'm quite shy to write this directly, so I hope it's okay that I'm asking this here XD

What's the best opera to start with? And also, what's your favourite Verdi's opera? (The only opera I've listened to so far is Rigoletto, so I hope the questions doesn't sound weird or dumb lol 🥲)

hi and thanks for the ask! ofc it's fine, don't worry, i'm always okay with the asks asjkaslklkjlk

hmm i think i'm not the Right Guy to answer this bc i'm just making opera memes and that's all but... um.. that's the most obvious thing ever but yeah carmen is a good opera to start with. (and also you can see that that's my favorite opera lmao) just because there's a lot of popular tunes that you've 100% heard before in another media (habanera etc) and the plot is quite simple sooo. yes. that's literally what every person would say lol

also puccini's la boheme or tosca would go good, but i personally don't really like boheme bc i find it boring ..but it's popular AND short so why not. yeah i guess the good opera for Beginners tm is a short opera, bc if you'll start with shit that lasts 4 hours you'll probably find yourself asleep at the second hour. at soprano's aria. so don't ever start with wagner.

tchaikovsky’s eugene onegin is also fine but i genuinely Don’t like both thaikovsky and pushkin. it's easy to see why

if you don't want to start with the operas where everybody dies you can check mozart's le nozze di figaro (the marriage of figaro), which also has a lot of bangers ... but requires reading subtitles if you don't know italian. also for those who's not afraid of belcanto...maybe il barbiere di siviglia (which is le nozze's prequel) or la fille du regiment would be a good choice. but i don't think that starting with belcanto is a good decision

and yeah my favorite verdi's opera is probably don carlos (totally not because i love schiller) (NOTE: A BAD OPERA TO START WITH), and funny that rigoletto was one of my first operas in general and first verdi's opera lol. i like rigoletto... and um talking about verdi i think la traviata is also a good opera for beginners (for same reasons as puccini's boheme)

yeah that's it. once again i'm not an expert.. so maybe all this post is bullshit..... but anyway the only advice i can give you is just to watch things you like, even if it's wagner. that's the only thing that matters after all...
