[multifandomxdisaster]

🥺😭

[allthepeculiarthings]

no, mum, the story wouldn't have been the same if they weren't in love. no- listen, im not saying that platonic relationships can't be as deep as romantic relationships but it just wouldn't have had the same effect on the audience if grindlewald and dumbledore were just good pals. it's about the emotional and sexual spirit still yearning for the other but the moral and intellectual mind rejecting them. ugh whatever. you wouldn't get it. can you buy me the good bread rolls. yeah with the seeds. okay see you soon

Queenie & Grindelwald

Crimes of Grindelwald:

Alison Sudol: It's not so lovely for Queenie in this film. She has trouble because she doesn't speak French. She's not good at languages period. She has trouble with Newt's accent, so forget about Paris. So she's kind of getting a lot of information that she can't filter through in the way that she does. She's like clogged up by all of these information that she can't process, which is also part of the reason why it's easy for Grindelwald to manipulate her, because her instincts are not functioning properly.

- Fantastic Beasts: The Crimes of Grindelwald - Makers, Mysteries and Magic: Chapter 6

Dan Fogler: I feel like she also reads heart shockers. If your intention is pure, then it confuses her. Even if you're an evil bastard, if you're intention is pure, she's like, "Oh, this person means well."

Alison Sudol: It's true, there's a purity … because her gift hasn't been something that she has been taught to use. She hasn't been mentored. It is literally, "Queenie, stop reading my mind." She could be one of the great witches of her all time with this gift, but it's seen as a nuisance. So, if you don't have mentorship, and you're taught that something about you is wrong – and you aren't developing it, it's only just happening to you – then the discernment between a pure intention and a pure intention of harm, you know, is quite confusing if it muddles the senses. That's what we encounter in this with her.

- Snitchseeker

I was wondering, wouldn't Queenie have noticed the change in Graves [Grindelwald]' thinking even though he looked the same?

JK Rowling: Occlumency.

- Twitter

Mads Mikkelsen: If I offer a character that is under distress and frustrated, alone, a misfit, if I offer some comfort and an ear that would listen, it's a smart way to get you followers.

Alison Sudol: Absolutely. You sense vulnerability and you use it, and it was painful actually. I know that might sound strange, but any time you are put in a position where you need to look more deeply into yourself or into humanity to learn about someone, I think it's really positive, because it just brings more understanding into the human condition really.

- Secrets of Dumbledore Interview

Alison Sudol: She made the mistake of believing Grindelwald could offer a better alternative. He used her vulnerability to his advantage, telling her what she wanted to hear, meanwhile separating her from everyone and everything she loved. He understands people's base desires and he plays into them. That's why he's so dangerous. It's something that happens in the real world all the time, a trap that so many young people fall into. We are not taught how to converse with our desires, we're taught to suppress them to fit in. It takes the considerable power of owning our feelings away from us and leaves it up for grabs, makes us a target for manipulation.

- Secrets of Dumbledore Production Notes

Alison Sudol: At the end of the second film, we see Queenie make a pretty shocking decision, something that no one really expected. But if you follow through the film, if you really think about it, she was sort of in one unfortunate circumstance after another because of the way that the wizarding world operates and the prejudice. Really all she wants to do is just be with the person she loves. The narrow-mindedness of the world she lives in puts her into a really vulnerable position where somebody that's really manipulative can tell her what she wants to hear, and that's gonna have an impact.

- Secrets of Dumbledore Press Conference

Alison Sudol: Well, Grindelwald told her what she wanted to hear, didn’t he? I mean, anyone with a little power of observation could see that she was desperate to be with Jacob legitimately, which was a much bigger deal at that time than it is today. She would do anything to be able to be with him. And because of the restrictions by the wizarding world, the narrow mindedness, the prejudice towards non-magical people, she was vulnerable to anyone who would say it could be different. Grindelwald pretended to be sympathetic to non-magical people to get her on his side. If the wizarding world had been more open-minded, she never would’ve been in this situation.

- Bearpost

Alison Sudol: In the last film, a lot of people were shocked by what she did, but then, as I thought about more and more about what happens in that film, she's abandoned by the people that she loves, and her sister's not there, and she and Jacob are fighting, and Newt humiliates her, and she's also up against a huge amount of prejudice, and Grindelwald offers what seems like an alternative to a world that is broken and is not allowing her to be with the person she loves.

- Secrets of Dumbledore Interview

“Grindelwald actually sounds like he’s all for love — if you love a Muggle, you should be allowed to be with them, and you should be allowed to marry,” Fogler reveals. “But wizards, he feels, should be on a pedestal. This is very tantalizing to some.

- Entertainment Weekly

Dan Fogler: Dumbledore can say the same thing and so can Grindelwald in his heart. That's why it's so easy for her. She's like, "Wow, he really believes this, that this can happen." This utopia that he's promising with his silver tongue. But there's a part of him that it's for love. So it's very confusing, which makes for really complex, dramatic, great scenes to play. Really interesting subject matter. 

- Sensacine

JK Rowling: We watch him corrupt an innocent, and we see his immense seductive duplicities, gift for speech in the final scene where we really see the danger of the man. 

If we look at what he is saying and analyse it, it does fall apart. However, if you're not paying a lot of attention to the substance and the inherent contractions in what he's saying, it sounds very seductive, very plausible, and it can persuade people that you or I might consider good people.

- ChicagoSciFi

'He's also a bit flirty,' says Sudol. 'It's the age-old thing of the good girl getting swayed by the bad boy.'

- Lights, Camera, Magic!: The Making of Fantastic Beasts: The Crimes of Grindelwald

Alison Sudol: Grindelwald is very skilled at reading people, at understanding when someone is vulnerable and what they need to hear, and he also sees a part of her that she hasn't accepted in herself, which is this extraordinary gift that she has. There's a power there and there's a pull. There's no doubt about it.

- Secrets of Dumbledore Interview

Alison Sudol: So she is scooped up by Grindelwald in easily the most vulnerable moment that she's had in her adult life. She has very little at this point left to go to, so she's not protected by anything in that moment and he comes in, and it's very interesting the way that Jo's done this. Basically, you think of a predator or an evil person, a bad person's gonna come in and they are gonna be like an ogre and horrible and being like killing kittens in front of you and you are gonna be able to see that they are evil, but the thing about Grindelwald is that he's a master manipulator. He's all things to everyone that they need, and that is why he is so dangerous, and to Queenie, he very quickly understands that the way to get to her is through her giant heart, which is very open and very sore, and he comes in, he's vulnerable to her and sort of appeals to her and also reacts to her gift, which is a gift of being able to read minds, but Queenie's never been told that it's a gift. She's always been shushed, and It's always been a frustration and an annoyance to the people around her, and here you have this very intriguing, mysterious man who sees her as this powerful woman, and also he's saying, "I want what you want. I want you be able to love freely." She's been rejected by Jacob; it's no wonder she gets swayed by Grindelwald.

- Fantastic Beasts: The Crimes of Grindelwald - Makers, Mysteries and Magic: Chapter 6 & The Archive of Magic : The Film Wizardry of Fantastic Beasts: The Crimes of Grindelwald

Poppy Corby-Tuech: I think this is the power of Grindelwald, that he doesn't... He could've poisoned her, he could've drugged her, he could've used a spell, but actually I think he trusted that she would come to him in a really natural way and it would come from hers as opposed to her being forced. That is really the way that he's persuading a lot of people to do his very dark things around and it's not through mind games or through torture. It's through the sheer power of the words. Obviously, there's manipulation at the intent of it, but it's like, "If we lay the breadcrumbs, they will come."

- Speakbeasty

David Heyman: I think the fact that even Queenie can go over is really significant. The fact is that for me, Grindelwald is a much scarier villain than Voldemort. Because Voldemort was pure evil. People follow Voldemort as much because of brute, his power and brute force than his power of persuasion. The thing about Grindelwald is he makes sense or he makes sense to people. He speaks to the needs that people have. He understands his audience and he gives them what they want to serve his own needs. So I understand Queenie who wants to be with Jacob but where the magical laws deny her that possibility. You can see why someone who tells her in his world, in the world that he will rule, that she will be able to have what she wants. You understand why she goes over.  And that makes it to me, Grindelwald is relevant. He speaks to today. But he's also, because history repeats itself, a timeless villain and I think he's incredibly scary.

- Empire Podcast

David Heyman: Grindelwald is to me a much scarier villain than Voldemort, because Grindelwald makes sense to certain people. Voldemort's power is fear and intimidation. As Callum said, Grindelwald seduces. As much as we may hate certain politicians because they do not speak our language, we have to understand that they are answering the needs and vulnerabilities and insecurities of others. Grindelwald is doing that. That's why Queenie goes over. He makes perfect sense. I understand why Queenie does what she does. I may hate it. I may not like it, it may make me sad, but yeah [it makes sense].

- Coup De Main

His eyes meet QUEENIE'S in the front row.

GRINDELWALD —and for love.

We pan across QUEENIE, now heart and soul his .. .

- Crimes of Grindelwald: The Original Screenplay

Secrets of Dumbledore:

Alison Sudol: Queenie made a choice to take marrying Jacob into her own hands in the second film, which set off a chain reaction of unfortunate events that ultimately left her vulnerable and alone. Ultimately, she made a choice to cross over to Grindelwald’s side. It was shocking for a lot of people, but she was wounded and reckless. There was a lot of chaos around that decision, and it happened in a split second. Now in this new film, things have calmed down and the sobering reality of the world that she now lives in has descended. It’s not a world that she fits into, but she’s had to assimilate. Grindelwald sees her as a valuable asset for her power to read minds, which puts her in an important position among Grindelwald’s minions. That doesn’t mean she’s safe. She’s navigating this as best as she can, and it’s intense!

- Bearpost

Alison Sudol: So at the start of this film, we find her in a world that is very different than any world she's ever been in before. She's also being utilised for this tremendous power that she has, that she's either had to hide in the past or she's been made feel guilty about, and there is something interesting about that, about a person who hasn't actually been able to live fully as who they are, and I think a lot of young woman can relate to that as well, of what happens when somebody sees that thing, that burning part of you that nobody else sees. It's a tricky, interesting position. We don't really know where she's really to go and who she is and how she's going to move forward, because she's at a point in her life where she has sort of two ways to go, but she's made a decision that you can't really just say to Gellert Grindelwald, "Sorry, I actually..." It's pretty creeping, so maybe she won't be able to get away or mabye she will. That's what her journey is now.

- Secrets of Dumbledore Press Conference

Alison Sudol: Grindelwald's on a mission to become the leader of the wizarding world by hooker, by crook. He's not the kind of guy that's gonna do it the right way. He's gonna do it the way that makes it happen, and earlier on, she observes him do something completely unthinkable and cruel, disgustingly cruel to an innocent creature for his own benefit, and it's shocking, and it's unclear what she's seen up until then, but I don't think it takes her very long to realise that she's dealing with seriously villainous people.

- ChicagoSciFi

Mads Mikkelsen: He's an odd man, because he picks some allies that he knows are not fully on his side. So there's a little game for him. He seems to take pleasure in manipulating people that he knows are not a believer of him. But obviously if you can turn them over completely, it's a win-win situation. If you can't, he will have a very fun and good time with them. But also it's an old saying, right? Keep your enemies very very tight, very close. But she's a fantastic tool as well. She has the ability to read people's minds, and that can come in very handy.

- ChicagoSciFi

Mads Mikkelsen: Oh, Grindelwald doesn’t trust her at all. But there’s something about Queenie—she can read other people’s minds, but she’s also a very bad liar at the same time. So, Grindelwald has a hunch he can trust her to the degree that she can’t lie straight to his face. And then, as was said before, both Dumbledore and Grindelwald have this tendency to manipulate people around them. The difference is that Grindelwald doesn’t mind people around him that could be dangerous for him. He finds it interesting. It’s a little game. Life becomes more interesting when you have people around you that might turn on you. It keeps him on his toes.

Bramhastra

This post is quite delayed, I wasn't really sure if I am ever going to post it but what the heck, here I am.

It was really disappointing to see the 2 most interesting plots that could have been a turning point for the Indian Hindi cinema to show case the Ancient Indian Culture in a larger than life manner only if the the direction, dialogue & story writing were given more thought and bit more sincere efforts were put into them.

No that the efforts were not there but could have been way better considering that if I can see it lacking then these experienced directors, script writers must certainly know it well. Here is my take on one of the 2 plots I mentioned earlier

Bramhastra, the very first movie in fantasy genre that relates to Indian mythology/ancient history; the plot was interesting but the presentation, direction, play writing, dialogues & special effects could have been so much better. I am tempted to say about the choice of actors as well but the production house has its lucky charms to follow or is it that they are scared of experimenting with the other talent?

I liked the idea, the way the plot was built up but there were a lot of loopholes else the movie would have been certainly bewitching. Just sharing my thoughts as a audience with common sense, with the expectations that the movies and web series must have some logic despite being the stories to entertain people.

I would like to start with the positive, there indeed were some pleasant special effects but that is all that’s pleasant about it.

I was excited about Mr Bachchan's role in this story; I am sure he must have had researched thoroughly for this character but it seems that probably this was not entirely up to him to decide Guruji’s character portrayal on screen. The mystic, the dominance and the charisma that must have been around him(Guruji) was lacking hugely. Too many words, no foreplay, no build up unlike those similar world famous character of Dumbledore or Gandalf. Of course, I expected too much the director & screenplay for Guruji to be dominating the screen.

Dialogues and play writing were another sore spot, the small budget web series are way more realistic and presentable. Did the writer, directors forgot the normal language they themselves speak or did they not notice their surroundings? If the story is set in the current times, it must have the feel of the current times. On the contrary, it was a disappointing mix of the tone and the words that sounded phoney, made up and unnatural to the environment. The tone in Mumbai must have the local Mumbai feel and the language of the learned and those of the critical characters must relate to their identities. Guruji and the intrinsic characters of Bramhansha must be familiar with the old ways and the use of Sanskrit; the hint of some ancient mannerisms & belonging is expected. An Indian mythical characters with ancient connections using urdu words like Shukriya & Qurbani instead of Dhanyawad, Aabhar or Tyaag or other Sanskrit words was such a disappointment. It would have benefitted the dialogue writer(s) to have visited the people living in Haridwar, Rishikesh and many such parts of India where there are ancient temples or places connected to religious and mythological stories of India; they could have taken a hint from the likes of Osho, Satya Sai and the very much alive and famous founder of Isha foundation Sadhguru.

The scientist and the artist who were the guards of the Bramhastra, must be formidable else they wouldn’t be only ones from the secret group Bramhansha to be responsible for guarding something so precious. Their presence felt belittled, the character Junoon too could be louder and vicious to have overcome such formidable opponents.

The flow and connectivity of the story unfolding is uneven, the dialogues between Isha and Shiva lacks logic and connectivity. There is a failed attempt to display the awakening and unnecessary dialogues between them indicating of growing romance. I would have preferred if the character felt more drawn towards each other by not just attraction but something more spiritual and sort of destined. It would be so much better in expressions, only if the screen play was more intended to present the logical flow of the hints, deductions, explorations and discoveries. A nobody, with a happy go lucky attitude must be crazy to have discovered something unbelievable; the disdain reactions of discovery of his visions being the fact was such a disappointment. The excitement, the fury or the disbelief were not as eminent as they would in such a state. This chemistry and the build-up were lacking in the dialogues rather than screen play.

Everyone must have worked hard and it feels really disappointing if the ones related to such a big project were lacking in sincerity. For how long are we going to watch international movies and praise them while the people in industry can themselves make the stories they could be proud of watching themselves.

There is no dearth of the actors to play the desired characters, or the directors who can visualize the story and the scene they want to display. I remember the onscreen magic of the religious mythological stories from the iconic Arvind Trivedi and soft spoken, ever smiling Arun Govil who owned the characters of Ravan and Ram in BR Chopra’s Ramayan; not to forget the humble Hanuman who could only have been play by the beloved Dara Singh. Long story short (not that short considering the length of this blog) , the outcome is not as pleasant as I had expected but I do hope that this will improve with the sequels and if this could become or inspire India’s first ever parallel to the Marvel & DC universe

Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince (2009)

The sixth chapter in the Harry Potter series does not disappoint. In fact, Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince is a contender for the best so far.

Lord Voldemort's return is no longer a secret but the Wizarding World feels powerless against him. Meanwhile, Harry Potter (Daniel Radcliffe) and his best friends Ron Weasley (Rupert Grint) and Hermione Granger (Emma Watson) return to Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, whose magical barriers will keep them safe. Joining potions class under Professor Slughorn (Jim Broadbent) at the last second, Harry finds a mysterious textbook full of useful tips from someone calling themselves The Half-Blood Prince. As he goes about his classes, falls in love and worries about everyday school drama, Professor Dumbledore (Michael Gambon) asks Harry for help uncovering a crucial piece of information in the battle against Voldemort.

In the wake of Harry Potter, Twilight and The Hunger Games, there have been many imitators. The ones doomed to fail often fell into the trap of focussing too much on teenage angst in the middle of much bigger things. In this case, it works. This year, there’s no sinister new teacher trying to dismantle Hogwarts from the inside, no unknown assassin roaming the corridors at night. The Ministry of Magic acknowledges Voldemort’s return. Harry is not a social pariah whose sanity his fellow students question. He finally gets a chance to be normal. You get a taste of what a term at Hogwarts should be like and it’s wonderful. It brings you back to the first time Harry entered the Great Hall and gazed in wonder at the hidden world he had become a part of. We’ve been with these characters for years now. It’s so satisfying to see them growing up, getting all clammy-handed over asking their crush out on a date. The screenplay by Steve Kloves is filled with little moments like that. He perfectly captures the excitement of a first kiss or of winning that big competition that’ll have all your friends cheering.

But once in a while, you get a brief glimpse of something sinister in the background. Draco Malfoy (Tom Felton) is up to something. The camera will focus on Harry and his friends walking down a corridor, not a care in the world and to the left, tucked away by the camera is the blond-haired bully, practically tearing his hair out from stress. He’s always been up to no good so let’s pay him no mind. Let’s return to Harry and Dumbledore as they try to find this clue about Voldemort’s past.

The film's best scenes feature the Hogwarts Headmaster and the student who admires him. Michale Gambon and Daniel Radcliffe both so good together. Gambon, in particular, does so much with the tone of his voice and the dialogue. You get a sense that he’s kind and patient but there’s a strange aloofness about what he isn’t saying that keeps you guessing. He’s so much more than a simple, kindly old goody-goody.

Throughout the series, we've seen many striking images. That first time Harry held the wand that would become his, the Chamber of Secrets, that Angel of Death gravestone in the cemetary, etc. All the ones that come immediately to mind have a certain Harry Potter aesthetic to them. A crazy creature, a spell cast, some artifact. The striking shots in The Half-Blood Prince are different. There's a particular scene next to a cliffside that takes you breath away as the score by Nicholas Hooper swells and cinematographer Bruno Delbonnel flexes his layout muscles. There's a certain bird cage that really isn't that unusual in terms of design but the way it's framed, it's unforgettable. You could put the film on silent and tell what we’re supposed to feel from the way characters are framed, or the way the natural layout of the castle either divides or separates characters. The excellent score helps a lot too.

Perhaps more than in any of the chapters so far, the focus of The Half-Blood Prince is on the emotions. The finale is a punch in the gut even if you’ve read the book. Radcliffe, Grint and Watson have never been better. The drama between their characters is real. The supporting cast around them (I’ll give a bit of extra attention to Alan Rickman and Jim Broadbent, who have slightly bigger roles) disappear completely in their parts. It certainly helps to have seen all of the previous entries relatively recently but even separated from the rest, Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince stands so steadily on its own legs you could pop it in anytime and fall in love with it all over again.

This was the 2nd book in the Fantastic Beasts series, and while, yes, I did like the movie version, the book was every bit as good, or should I say, the screenplay. I’m also in the midst of reading the 3rd and (presumably…) final book in the series, The Secrets Of Dumbledore. If you’ve liked the Fantastic Beasts movies, then you’ll love these screenplays. It’s taken me a while, but I got…

Too Many Things Got Released in 19 July 2022

Can someone explain me why in the 19 of July 2022 so many things got out?!

Why the screenplay of Fantastic Beasts, the graphic novel of the Dragon Prince and the book about Yangchen got released in the same date?! They coordinate it?

I know the screenplay date was in July because the movie was suppose to get out around this time and they decided to keep the release date of the screenplay there (even though the movie is out for three months!) But what happened with The Dragon Prince and Avatar? The creators tried to teased each other? The Dragon Prince creator was part of the Avatar writers so it could be teasing but who decided on this date first?

And where do I find all of this things?! It is too much information to collect! I don't have enough time to research for information from the script, the novel and the book. And there isn't enough information yet in the internet. I need to read these things, not to be desperate for tidbits of new things.

In the end, the three of them will be in the internet on the same time and I won't be able to decided where to begin! I need the screenplay to write more fanfics about Gelbus and I need the graphic novel to do a rewatch for Dragon Prince before the fourth season and I just love Yangchen and need to read this book!

I need to read but I'll do for now with spoilers but why I barely find any?! I want to know what's going on, please at least give me spoilers!
