Loved all the talk about space and time and explanations and Ulrich!!! also I saw you gramma Nielsen
I must begin saying that A Quiet Life by Teho Teardo and Blixa Bargald playing at the end was so perfect just like the rest of the soundtrack; some things that were in my mind like the Stranger being Jonas from the future were confirmed, others wrapped up and more questions arised, I can't wait for S2, Charlotte now knows that Ulrich was/is in the past I wonder what she is gonna do with this piece of information, will she starts to rationalizing, as what we humans do with everything? Personally I doubt that, but guess that don't even matter that much since from the glimpse we got from the future it is shit, also a "small" thing that happily surprised me was Agnes Nielsen and Doris Tiedemann, Netflix didn't have to put a love story between two women in the 50s but it did! I really hope to see more of them in S2 as it's implyed that Doris left Egon for Agnes, and I want to see more of the 53's Egon I have a feeling that even though Egon doesn't like Ulrich he is the one whom somehow if Ulrich comes back to 2019 is gonna help him scape the prision he is in; also Ulrich's father had and affair with Regina's mother, and theirs' Grandmothers too lol everything comes full circle; and Helge in 2019? The timeline keeps being messed up, but since Helge was a grown man in 1986 we know he is gonna come back to his "right" time and this was just one more part of the the timeline that can't be changed so they will arrive at the apocalyptical world we saw Jonas in, ah my head hurts but I love this series.
Maybe I missed something here but I wonder how did OA get to make those scars on her own back without anyone's help...
the adaptation has a good start, it's amazing how they captured the feeling of the graphic novel and there is even Olivia Colman as Nick's mom, we won heartstopper stans
It's 2k16 and I'm still not over with this episode. It still give me tears and chills. Perfect.
One could argue that the end is really the beginning of the story, which is left to the watcher to wonder so I understand why some people will dislike it, all in all I liked the atmosphere, style and soundtrack, but the movie does kinda end up feeling like it was more of a presentation of the world and building of it on the midst of the hero's journey of Vesper. It was slow but I really enjoyed and the curiosity about the society in this reality really kept me interested. I don't have hopes but I'd love to see it being explored in a tv show format, perhaps, picking up where the movie left. And no doubt that if you are a Nausicaä fan like myself you'll at least enjoy the aesthetic inspiration of this world.
A really promising tv show with a good dystopian plot, it's gonna be tough to watch the probably more graphic scenes to come but I'm already in love with the handmaid's tale
edit: if you, like me, haven't read the book before watching the show, you absolutely should read it.
If you're expecting two hours of battle action you will be very disappointed, but honestly if you've seen any other Robert Eggers movie by now you should have known better than to expect this. But, of course this may be the first movie you'll be watching from Eggers, so in any case be prepared for a slow ride. For me, one of the best aspects of the movie was how well Eggers handed the "magic" aspect, it almost becomes pure fantasy at times, to immerse the watcher in the beliefs of the norse myhology the people had at that time, but you could also think of them as products of an active unconsciuos fuled by psychotics sometimes, or by the simple belief in that mithology. The script being not only about revenge was a bonus for me.
Princess Ladyfingers did nothing wrong
So, here finally comes the end of an era, at least on the anime, on the manga it has already been two years. As someone who was not particularly hyped for this part, because I knew what would happen; I still gotta say... It felt nostalgic and emotionally charged. I could only think about how good it felt to see things I longed seeing animated for some time, specifically scenes with Pieck, Annie and Mikasa. I still have a lot of critics about the end (and no I'm not talking about ships with Eren... but plot-wise). But the overall feeling is that I think it was worth it following this universe, it leaves a lot of room to theorize about "Titanology" and it was such a fun thing to do; I also met some amazing people along the way because of the shared interest in AOT. And another good thing animes could follow the example is having a diverse cast of female characters, that's one thing I'll always be grateful for AOT.
the fact that it's obvious for whom Violet is writing the letters makes it even more sad, this one had me sobbing the whole time
I wondered how they would get to an emotional state so deep that they would feel the same "feeling" so the movements would work and finally "open a portal"; it surprised me. I can't wait for s2
"Hey, you know why we, uh why we like to be hugged? The way I see it, it sets a limit on the pain.
You know? Puts a perimeter around it."
The best season of Futurama
I may have gone too far on my interpretation, but this episode reminded me of the Critical Theory of the Frankfurt School. Where they argue that our excess of reason (that for example leaded to the WW2) trapped us in the mass industry (and opinion) society we are in, and that art would be the escape from this society. And in here happened the contrary, of course that in the end enters in the debated "what is art?" Would it be or not? But the fact is that the man who forced the minister to practice an act of zoophile claimed it was art. And we can not denied that technology is a way of creating art, and it let me thinking: what the hell will be of the art and of our future?
The plot twist at the finale with Te Ka actually being Te Fiti without her heart was so good! (I really didn't see that coming.) And the simbolism was so beautiful: the one who brought life became death itself after her heart was stolen, and at the finale Moana helped her become herself (life) again (like everything in life nothing is created, everything is transformed). Also, in a way, there was not really a villainess, it was just occurrences of bad circumstances that actually in the bottom had a good intention: Muai tried to stole Te Fiti's heart to give it to humans, so they would have the power to create life but we all saw what happened; and despite all the magic, it made the movie more real (imo). But of course the more important thing is: the children will love it! And it's good that the new generation will grow up with the message that, yes, girls can save the day too, and you do not have to be romantically involved with a man to be someone.
it's worth see it if you like amy and tina, but the movie is a crap
I laughed so hard when they got back to their tribe and the one with the fire fell in the water and extinguished the fire
I think that, in plotwise terms, this my favorite episode of the season so far.
An episode for the Dune nerds (like myself)
Family dynamics always explains a lot.
We are only in the middle of the year but this already is one of the best series releases of the year, really refreshing to see a criminal mystery with sci-fi being well done. About the end specifically I don't know how to feel about one thing which is Harper surviving, but I know it's more of a personal opinion than anything, and I don't really know how much more it would mess with the timelines if he actually died by being killed by Kirby since they were bound in a quantum entanglement , but it was definately a satisfaying ending.
Actually there is another thing that left me thinking, and that I'd like to know more, and of course it's the house , but I liked too how detailed we got too and it's okay not getting that much of explanation, which sometimes it ends up just bringing more and mmore questions and the point of the story ends up being lost.
2022 has become the year Sandra Oh has been giving us all that motherly transgenerational trauma on films
Queen Hilling was one of the few characters whom by the end didn't have her development and characterization butchered, the disappointment with that Miranjo x Daida plot kinda ruined the anime for me in terms of script, but it was worth it for Hiling, Bojji and Kage.
I can't recall feeling so emotional in the first episode of a tv show, it was so ethereal.
Some minor changes from the comic in this one too but so far so good, like Lucifer themselves fighting Morpheus was a good away to give more screentime to Gwendoline. And of course there's John Dee not killing Rosemary, when John killed her it had an impact on me, but I kinda like the fact that this Rosemary didn't die, she was a bit more likeable than the original one plus it kinda fits well with Dream's decision about John Dee later too.
this "redemption" arc of Miranjo ruined the anime for me, apart from the fact that suffering doesn't give a character the right to do awful things to others, Miranjo's "marriage" with Daida it's pure radiation, literally she has known Daida ever since he was born and in fact he was born because of her, who brought Bosse and Hiling together... Bosse's end was also disappointing after all the suffering he caused his sons.
Something totally not related to the anime now but I got say something, it's the fact that now trakt has even banned to comment in another language? before it was recommended to comment in english, but now you really can't send a comment if it's not english? gringos and their xenophobia
that talk between gus and marie is one of the best non problematic bisexual representation
nice surprise to see mulholland drive's impact in the plot
please don't get me wrong (I love the book) but I loved so much how the story has been extended, since in the book we see almost everything from Offred's perspective, it made the show richer with more contrasts. I can't wait for season 2!
