FOR YOU? I’D BURN by Toshi_hi

SUMMARY: “What if Beatty didn't get the reports made about Montag's poetry reading? Five times Montag quoted a book and one time Beatty finished it.”

PREGAME: I hate Ray Bradbury with every inch of my skin and every bone in my body. Every breath I breathe is to hate this man for creating the works I have been TORTURED WITH and HAUNTED BY in every year of my existence. However, tonight I was inspired and I wanted to read a fanfic about the short story of Bradbury’s I’ve read the most, “A Sound of Thunder,” however there were barely any (one of which was just the story itself and the rest were either inspired or retellings of it), so I took to the most popular work of Bradbury’s, Fahrenheit 451. I didn’t really like F451, I thought it had good concepts but they weren’t explored upon enough for me, it just felt too short. With Bradbury’s works I always want more from the world and the story, I want to know more about the characters and the setting but like I never get to do it’s dissatisfying and not in a cool contemplative way but in a way that makes reading his works feel rushed. However, I do respect his creation of Captian Beatty, one of my favorite literary villains (or even characters) of all time. I still feel like his arc was unfinished but I like leaving it up to interpretation for F451. So the interpretation of the character, and him being all knowledgeable about books and philosophy was so interesting and it never says why so fanfiction is the obviously best route for this as a nice character analysis. There is a type of villain I always enjoy that Captain Beatty goes into, same with Caesar from FNV so hey maybe there should be a crossover fic for that too. Fahrenheit: New Vegas coming soon. Anyways this was the first fic i saw and the five + one format is always a mixed bag for me so it could go any way.

REVIEW: it was cute. The average 5+1 fic can be described as that for me. It was an interesting interpretation of the characters and story as well. The background as to why Beatty quoted literature to Montag is because he used to read books as escapism after the death of a loved one and that’s pretty interesting. It’s not my personal interpretation of Beatty at all, but it worked well in the story so I liked it. In this, they made it so firemen were dropping from the job like flies because they felt like burning books wasn’t too bad, and they even brought up a common question I had, like why people were allowed to read scripts for the shows but not for Shakespeare. And Beatty’s justification for that was more for himself than for the society, so this did feel more warm than book, it had a happy ending for the society and made it change instead of the actual ending where it just gets bombed and that’s pretty cool. Montag just divorces Millie which is what I needed as well. It’s just like a feel good fic for people who wanted to see more Beatty moments I guess. I liked it but the ended fell a bit flat. There isn’t much to say about this it’s cute and sweet but the ending was just meh

BEST LINE: Montag looked up from his hand and chuckled disparagingly. "Feel free not to respond, it'd be an accomplishment to be able to tell the men I struck Captain Beatty mute with my marital issues.“

RATING: 4/8 divorce papers (delta male status)

Peter Travers: 'Hostiles' Revitalizes the Brutal, Graceful Western

New Post has been published on http://gossip.network/peter-travers-hostiles-revitalizes-the-brutal-graceful-western/

Peter Travers: 'Hostiles' Revitalizes the Brutal, Graceful Western

The continuously astounding Christian Bale is one of our best film actors, and he’s at his peak in Hostiles, a powderkeg of a western, written and directed in a soulful fever by Scott Cooper (Crazy Heart, Out of the Furnace, Black Mass). Working from an unpublished manuscript by the late Donald Stewart, the filmmaker echoes The Searchers – John Ford’s 1956 classic starring John Wayne as a vengeful cowboy – in tackling the way racism and violence seem to be hardwired into the American character.

25 Reasons to Love the Movies in 2017

From amazing directorial debuts to ‘Dunkirk,’ offbeat docs to Daniel Day-Lewis – the films, performances and moments that made the year in movies

Bale plays Captain Joseph Blocker, whose life up till now in the Arizona territory of 1892 has been occupied with the systematic slaughter of Native Americans. This tortured man wears his racial hatred like a badge of honor, having witnessed friends and soldiers massacred by so-called savages. Now with the Indian wars waning and himself on the verge of retirement, Blocker is knocked sideways by the news that President Benjamin Harrison has issued a last command: escort his hated enemy Yellow Hawk (the excellent Wes Studi), a terminally ill Cheyenne chief, to his home in Montana. There, he can die in peace surrounded by family members, played by Q’orianka Kilcher, Adam Beach, Xavier Horsechief and Tanaya Beatty.

Blocker is a voracious reader (Julius Caesar is a favorite), but he’s not a man of words. So he doesn’t shout, “That’ll be the day” when he gets his orders to start on the 1500-mile trek. But you can read the simmering resentment in the captian’s steely gaze and tightly-set jaw. (Bale can say more with one look than another actor can do with a dozen pages of dialogue.) Despite his rancor, this loyal soldier leads his men, played by Jesse Plemons, Jonathan Majors, Timothée Chalamet and Rory Cochrane, on a mission to deliver the chief as promised, safely and without incident.

That’s not the way things work out. Along the way, their party picks up a straggler. She’s Rosalie Quaid (Rosamund Pike), a white settler who has watched her husband and children butchered by attacking Apaches – a scene which Cooper stages with unflinching brutality. Crazed with grief, she can barely acknowledge her tragedy, holding her dead baby in her arms as if her determination alone could bring the infant back to life. The sight of the calvary’s Indian prisoners drive her to thoughts of retaliation, and then of suicide. Both Rosalie and Blocker form a bond that opens their eyes to the qualities they have in common with a people they once found it easier to demonize.

Cooper takes his time (133 minutes) to allow the bruises on both sides to the racial divide to heal instead of fester. After a Comanche attack, it’s Yellow Hawk who tells Blocker to unshackle his people so they can unite in battle, “one for one.” There is no sermonizing. Cooper lets us read his story on the faces of his characters. His trust pays off, even when a wild card enters the scene in the person of Philip Wills (a stellar Ben Foster) as a criminal the men need to escort to justice.

Hostiles is crowded with casualties and a hatred that dies hard. But Cooper lets in a glimmer of hope. In the midst of unbridled ugliness, the beauty of the landscape – shot with a poet’s eye by the gifted Masanobu Takayanagi – suggests a path ahead. Cooper sometimes lets solemnity drag down his film’s narrative drive and the Native characters are developed less fully than their white counterparts, a common failing in the western genre. But Bale, in a piercing, quietly devastating performance, holds the film’s center with commanding authority. It’s a film whose brute force tempered with contemplative grace. It’s a potent and prodigious achievement.
