[juror3ightt]

sighs i don’t know if it’s because of the way i was brought up but I seriously can’t stand when a person completely waters down a guy like juror 3. Idk I guess maybe they’re just joking about the whole thing but in some cases I’ve NEVER seen them portray him as anything beyond the angry childbeater juror

It’s not a “out worst moments don’t make us” or whatever the saying is sort of thing. It’s just making that his sole thing. Like. it (it being the point that he did abuse his son) is his Main thing i guess but there’s more there and it’s never brought up ever. I get that it really doesn’t need to be brought up but I’d just like to see something about it.

There’s people out there saying that “Juror 3 was abused himself” is a Theory. Like is it not implied. That’s the way it goes. And this way was as normal as waking up and the sky being blue. As were kids’ fights. He was brought up violent and miserable so he thinks that’s what life is about. If his son isnt violent and miserable, what else can he be? I believe that nobody is wired from birth to be the way he is and nobody who was brought up nonviolent turns around and thinks violence is the way to go out of nowhere.

I think that juror 3 at his core wanted what was best for his kid. And what he thought was best for his kid was what he had. Which he would’ve been complacent in because he couldn’t understand any other line of thought. It makes complete sense to him that, if his son refuses that, then he’d beat him. When it comes to these parents, at best, they’d feel wrong doing it but at the end of the day it’s OK because they’re doing the right thing. Surely it’s good parenting, it ‘worked’ on them did it not?

Every man in that jury room is a person who has lived an entire life and I hate tjat that juror THREE of all jurors doesn’t have other parts of him recognised. The antagonists are the most developed characters in that room and they can’t just be reduced to their worst qualities because then what’s the point.

Well I mean 5 and 9 are pretty developed too that last part was a hyperbole if it wasn’t clear idfk I’m not really good at this whole thing

i feel like in a lot of left wing discourse these days, if an ostensibly weaker entity who is considered "oppressed" (by whatever standard) attacks an ostensibly stronger entity who is considered the "oppressor," there's all this shock and horror when the stronger entity inevitably retaliates, which, to me, seems completely illogical on several grounds.

like on the one hand, WHY would you expect an oppressor NOT to retaliate since the whole concept of an "oppressor" implies that they will do everything to keep their victims under their thumb? (and that's if you're even trying to work within this framework.)

in a similar vein, i think it is VERY hard to convince people as a collective to turn the other cheek if they feel they've been wronged and that goes for both oppressor and oppressed. i think it is possible in the right conditions, but people shouldn't be shocked when it doesn't work out since it's frankly kind of counter to human nature.

we can hope for people to be more merciful and forgiving and cool-headed, but ultimately no one should be surprised when that doesn't happen, particularly in the down and dirty world of global geopolitics.

TOHO SPIRITED AWAY?? PLS GIVE ME THE DEETS

oh it was soooooooooo good i'm so happy i got a chance to see it!!! gorgeous design all around, there was no standout elements bc everything fit so well together. all the spirits + magical elements were done with traditional (japanese and western) style puppetry, so everything was articulated and manipulated by an operator, which had this really wonderful almost youth theatre vibe. a lot of times with shows that involve puppets, they'll try to make the puppets as advanced as possible to not make them 'childish' (see: war horse), but for something that's based heavily in folklore and IS a children's story, to me the only logical sense is to emphasize that particular angle. the puppets were also incredible, very well made and sooo accurate to the movie??? like impressively accurate. my faves were probably kamaji and haku? kamaji's six extra arms were each operated by a separate person who had one hand operating the elbow and one hand as the actual hand, so all eight hands were able to do everything, which mean there was some REALLY incredible choreography of just. all the stuff that he was doing, but also when he got up and walked it was soooooooo cool. and haku!!! he had two puppets actually, one 'full size' that was a big long foam articulated body that took i think four puppeteers, and there was a tiny haku that they used for the flying scenes that was basically just a little head and a ....idk what the actual technical term is but it was basically just a wind sock as the body on a big long pole so the puppeteer could essentially move him like you would a big ribbon! the scene were he first transforms and flies off was sooo pretty, the actor haku did a lil setup to a GORGEOUS spinning jump and when he landed he ducked down behind some of the chorus members and as he disappeared the tiny ribbon haku shot up from the same spot and started looping around.......... actual magic. also wow the actor playing haku was so pretty. and very tall. which i did not notice until the very end. i would not be suprised if he had ballet training bc tall and he had the ballet dancer chin/head posture. also the actor playing lin (also doublecast as chihiro's mom) was crazy hot. just so unbelievably hot. anyways. speaking of casting: noface as a popping dancer. UNREAL and incredible galaxy brained choice. he had a solo while they did a set change and WOW. spooky and gorgeous and also weirdly welcoming? really excellent job of embodying a sympathetic physicality that made it understandable why chihiro would let him in to the bath house in the first place. also for the curtain call he put the mask on the back of his head and literally did the bows backwards. insane. my ONLY complaint is that i didn't love noface's giant form, but that's mostly because years and years ago i saw a (different) puppet show with a grim reaper character that was very similar to giant noface (the telescoping neck + large body) and i literally thought at the time 'if you were going to do puppet noface that is exactly how you should do it', so 1) expectations 2) i'm pretty sure that version was done using quite a sophisticated extending mechanism, which would be antithetical to the rest of the puppets in the show, and 3) this giant noface was VERY big (probably at least 10-15 feet across? he was at least eight puppeteers with the original actor as the mask) so the logistics would not have worked. regardless. it is a very small complaint that literally no one else would have had unless they had seen the same show that i did in like. 2015. costumes were all unreal, the set was phenomenal; it actually took me WELL over an hour to figure out that the set literally stayed the same the entire time, it was just being rotated (it was on a turntable) and redressed + had a couple balconies flown in. also live orchestra?? in the set??????? i didnt even know they were THERE they had them behind a scrim on an upper level platform in the back and they pulled it up for curtain call and there was like. 15 ppl sitting back there????

ok but if i had to pick ONE thing that was my favourite, it would be that ALL the living things were played by someone alive. i know that sounds obvious, especialy for like. the dancing vases and the frog and the soot sprites, but even the PLANTS were puppets in their own way. like the hydrangea bushes that chihiro hides in at the beginning and the flower field that she and haku run through were done with chorus members wearing these beautiful flower head/chest/arm pieces. even the stone guardians at the tunnel at the beginning of the play were actors. it really underscored the magic of everything to have all the life be actually alive.
