notes under the cut ♡

OHHHH MY GOD I WAS DYING TO DO THIS. I HOPE YALL LIKE IT.

So, this is my first-ish amv that i put a lot of work into. Missed some school assignments while at it, but this will be fine.

So!! What I am very excited about is that the music is by one of my favorite national artists, Chico Buarque. Im not sure if yall have heard of him, but he was a very very relevant brazillian artist especially during the military dictatorship in Brazil (1964-1985) and his songs are often critizing this very moment in our history, highlighting the feelings of the people that went through a period full of oppression, censure, suffering and torture.

His songs are incredibly well-constructed, especially the lyrics, with very rich rhymes, wordplays, good sonority and meaning. He also sings a lot about the everyday of the people, simple people, paying tribute to the value and humanity of the often forgotten. In this song, for example, it talks about the everyday of a simple couple; A housewife and a working man, that live the same things every single day. It reflects on the exhaustion and anxiety that comes with living a life that never changes, and that you can't ever stop, even if you really wanted, because that's how you live. It shows the routine of the couple waking up early, eating (probably rice with) beans for lunch, yearning for a bigger life, going back home at sixpm, sleeping at midnight. It also counts with the heavy gender roles, of the woman that takes care of her husband, staying home waiting and cooking for him and waking him up, and the husband that works for money. All the tension that builds up from the repetition sounded greately Utena-esque for me. A life where the routine is forever the same, but you and your feelings change, and the days go by, and you know that eternity is not actually there, and you might be wasting yourself for a life you can't change. Or can you?

So, I hope I made tribute to these both I combined. Anime of course is Shoujo Kakumei Utena and the song is Cotidiano by Chico Buarque. Thank you for listening !!

( There's also a song by him called "Geni e o Zepelim" that would match Anthy perfectly. It's about a possibly transgender simple woman that is always by the side of marginalized people but, despite being a "pit of kindness" everyone on the city uses her as a scapegoat, saying that "she was made to be beaten, she's good to spit on". Then, one say, an enormous zeppelin comes flying to the town, with the powerful commander saying that he'll explode the entire city because of its evilness. But then, he changes his mind if a beautiful lady agrees to be with him. I'll write this here so i can remember later, and to he a song rec if u want!)

I need everyone to watch this amv right now.

The song is perfect, the editing is superb, the choice of the scenes is on point. The small number of views is criminal.

For some reason whenever I post AMVs on Youtube they become slightly off-beat so here it is, fresh from my laptop.

An ode to the toxic f*ckboys of Utena. (Akio doesn't really count as a f*ckboy though, he's just uh...a predator. The Arch F*ckboy, let's say.)

Revolutionary Girl Utena AMV - Dona Dona

Look, I'm in dire need to find some people who have not watched Revolutionary Girl Utena, but who are interested in media analysis, have them listen to and watch this AMV and see what interpretations they'll come up with

(content warnings for incest and [non explicit] csa if anyone actually sees this)
