Animated Movie of the Day: Wolfwalkers (2020)
Wolves have a strange relationship with humans. As the ancestors of the domestic dog, these animals are often still seen as a predator with an adversarial approach to our kin. This closeness and fascination has been the source of many legends, including those of the wolfwalkers: once human, they become wolves at night. So when the wolfhunter's daughter Robyn is met by a girl who can do exactly that, she's forced to see the world from their perspective, where the woodlands are being destroyed on a daily basis under the authoritarian reign of Lord Protector (obviously based on Oliver Cromwell). And finding herself turned into a wolf, she must now make a choice.
While not the most original take on this variant of Man VS Nature(nor the story of a fish out of water defying societal expectations), the emotional earnestness more than makes up for it with a childlike perspective that doesn't belittle the younger point of view but treats it as equally valid as the concerned adults. There's also the endearing bond of Robyn and Mehb. The sapphic aspect of their blossoming friendship may have been accidental, but it's nonetheless wholesome.
Then, there's the animation. Following on the tracks of Song of the Sea and The Breadwinner, the folks at Cartoon Saloon keep finding ways to advance their craft and approach to the medium as the visual language here subtly morphs with each scene to strengthen the respective mood. The line quality, coloring style, framing and aspect ratio are all subject to change for the sake of enhancing the narrative, and the well integrated uses of 3D(which was turned back into hand drawn animation) just seal the package. It revels on it's folklore inspirations and the value of drawing as an artform.
An audiovisual delight it embraces the value of one's individuality, a denouncement of colonialism and a beautiful tale of finding community where it matters instead of where you're expected to.

Suzanne collins wrote a trilogy where a main media propaganda strategy was to market a horrific act of violence as a love story to distract ppl and then it got adapted into a box office breaking movie and ppl made it all about the love triangle. so then since they didn’t get the point the first time Suzanne collins wrote a prequel story about the main dictator and she makes it so that you as a reader want it to be a genuine love story so badly even tho it’s so very clearly not and instead feels extremely unsettling to make her point even more meta which then gets adapted into another box office breaking film and now ppl are making romantic snowbaird tik toks. do u think she’s gonna write another book that’s somehow even more blatant or just give up and start executing ppl? hard to say but I wouldn’t blame her for the second one

thinking about how the hunger games were designed to prove that without society, order, government, someone to rule, we devolve into little more than animals, and how the games themselves prove over and over again that this is not true. We see it in every single game we witness.
Katniss placing flowers around Rue's body in the arena. Thresh sparing Katniss because she was kind to Rue, even though he was making it that much harder for himself to win.
Haymitch going back for Maysilee after hearing her scream even though their alliance had been broken. Haymitch holding her as she dies the same way Katniss did Rue.
Coral's "I can't have killed them all for nothing" when she realizes she's not going home. Lamina cutting down Marcus at great personal risk. And, my favorite moment in tbosas, Reaper collecting the bodies of his fellow tributes, his peers, even the ones who tried to kill him, into a pile. Taking the weapons from their hands. Closing their eyes and crossing their arms in the best approximation of a proper burial he can manage, covering them with the Capitol flag as a makeshift shroud.
The Games bring out the worst in people, yes. But despite the extreme circumstances, despite the exterior pressure of the Capitol, despite the fact that it could mean pain and heartbreak and death, it also shows that people have an enormous capacity for goodness. That even in a situation purposefully designed to make empathy impossible, people can't help but have it anyway.
Snow looks at the Games and all he can see is what's inside himself-- this pure animalistic drive to conquer and defeat. He kills and it feels good and he thinks that everyone else must feel that way too. He doesn't realize (maybe can't realize) that he is the exception, not the rule. He cannot see outside himself, outside his own warped perspective, to realize that the fact that people do show humanity in the games proves his entire worldview wrong.

What is it about the air in Europe what makes Misha Collins act like that edition. Yes those are quotes of his.
