On that note, I just think people in general are getting really out of touch with what qualifies as 'rich'. I've seen people posting about how they don't think having over a million dollars is rich. Like, what. We're all so used to hearing about billionaires that we now think being a millionare is not that much? Do you fucking hear yourself? I know that in this economy it probably doesn't mean as much to be a millionare than it did a few decades ago, but still, in that case those people still have more money than most of us and can live in luxury if they so please.

And yes on a more personal note, if you're a person who has enough money to go on yearly vacations or just vacations in general, I consider you rich and I don't want to hear your fucking opinion. You're more privileged than you realise, just be grateful if money isn't a worry for you.

#Sorry if this is messy. It's late and my eyes are blurry #I've had a really long rant about this stuck in my head since forever and with the watcher drama i just need to say it #Watcher #watcher entertainment #capatalism #anti capitalism

i just love this time of year. i just love the absolute clusterfuck of capitalism under the banner of a religious holiday. i love the fact that black Friday is now a black month but also a black quarter. i love the fact that people go insanely into debt because the cc companies/marketing just entice you into buying things you cant afford and don't need. i just love this time of year so fucking much.

Across the spiderverse's main conflict centers around the idea that suffering is the way things are. The conclusion being that it doesn't have to be is going to be such a powerful message in a movie this popular.

Watched 2 Ghibli studio movies this past week and this is why I adore them.

First being an animation film I have to appreciate the phenomenal animation which kept me unblinking and mesmerized the whole of the movie.

Second was the themes and symbolism which I will discuss for both films.

Spirited away:

What I observed is that this and other movies from this studio don't have a definite beginning and end but between them, a beautiful story is woven.

In Miyazaki's films often concepts interpenetrate each other; it is not necessarily good or bad and the main hero seeks harmony, not triumph.

It's also just an incredible film in general. Its superiority is beyond anime, you don't need to watch more anime to enjoy it, it goes beyond animation in general. It has an original plot with an intriguing story and characters, it's stunning to look at and Joe Hisaishi's scores are one of the best in cinema history. Animation is so incredibly detailed and fluid, you completely forget that this is something drawn frame by frame by hand.

When No Face is running amok every single member of the crowd is a unique hand-drawn character. They aren't duplicating with computers like most comics will do. Also, the background characters are getting the same number of keyframes as the foreground characters, even when they aren't the focus of the shot.

None of those softballs is copied and pasted, they are all uniquely drawn. This probably gets completely missed by most people but animators geek out over how often Miyazaki chooses NOT to skip corners, even when there is no way the audience would notice.

The thing which I love the most about Spirited Away is that it is loaded with symbolism and cultural commentary on modern Japan and the rest of the world.

The most prominent one of course: Capitalism and Western influence on Japanese culture.

The laborers are all indentured servants to Yubaba, who takes their real name from them (which in turn suggests that capitalism is distorting and erasing Japanese identity). This is similar to the norm of lifetime employment, where a worker's individuality is replaced by the will of the firm. Characterized by lifetime employment and unending devotion to the company he's employed by. This is the figure you see in movies who leaves to work before his family wakes up and comes home to a sleeping family and a wrapped plate of food on an empty dinner table. This work ethic and attitude was the cultural norm for working Japanese men from the 1950s when salarymen were considered the engine of Japan's economic recovery. It later became a topic of critique in the 1990s and 2000s after the Japanese economy collapsed.

Although the bathhouse is physically a symbol of traditional Japan, with its architecture and spirit clientele, at its heart are capitalism and salarymen. The bathhouse proprietress and witch Yubaba is a symbol of cold, indifferent capitalism. All her actions are motivated by money and gain. There is a scene when her baby is transformed into a hamster. When Haku tells her something precious of hers is missing, Yubaba first looks at her gold and treasures before looking for her child. Even the workers are all also motivated by money.

All in all, with serene animation and music with essential symbolism this may not be my favorite film but it was one of the greatest and worth the hype.

(The next film in next post)

Spectator columnist: "Capatalism has done the most to lift people out of poverty"

Capatalism exploits people for profit. It does not lift people out of poverty and actually we see poverty in the form of work/life balance. Because of economic slavery people are forced to work 5,6,7 days a week. The 5 day working week was the biggest exploitation of workers, robbing them of the balance between work and life tipping the scales in favour of work leading to exhausted workers and modern day work conditions that treat workers like commodities.

Slavery wasn't abolished; it was just made to have more favourable conditions.

I really wish that we had more time. It's so disheartening that the entirety of our lives is spent dedicated to working because we need money to live and less work hours are not even considered. The greed of the few causes the lives of the many to be wasted. I have so much I want to learn but I have no time to do so in between writing my reports, preparing lessons for students, hanging out with my friends, completing all my chores and trying to get my accreditation in order to get paid the full teacher's wage.

I think a 4 day work week would ideal. 4 days working, 2 days rest, 1 day of cleaning. It would be the perfect balance. In this day and age we should be working less for more money. I am so over money and the rich cooperations that have ensnared us all in this capitalist nightmare. Life is short, too short to waste on earning money for others.
