French TV journalist having a hard time trying to get woman in the street to comment on Macron's latest speech yesterday

Protesters organised casserolades (aka banging on pots and pans) in front of city halls across the country at 8pm, when Macron was speaking, to symbolically drown out his voice. Later that evening, Macron was filmed singing a song with some 'random people' in a street in Paris, trying to show he can go out and meet people and have fun because protesters don't exist. The people he was singing with (members of a choir, some of whom are 'alt-right-leaning') were using a folk song app created by far-right activists that was criticised a few months ago for hosting a Spanish fascist anthem & Third Reich military marches.

The government's response was that the President "couldn't know the background of the people he met that night." Maybe if he wants to avoid being associated with the far-right (that's a big if, I know), Macron should keep in mind that with the kinds of strategies and positioning his government has adopted lately, people in the street who welcome him with open arms and are proud to be filmed with him have a higher than average likelihood of supporting fascism.

#genre hier darmanin qui dit qu'il faut sanctionner les gens au RSA et aujourd'hui le maire pour qui fraudeur = maghrébin... #also the far-right ppl who made that song lyric app got 40K€ of public funding from the ministry of culture #our government is 'questioning' public funding for the human rights league but not this #so yeah this is just 1 thing out of the avalanche of bullshit the government keeps unleashing these days #i could have made a post about the minister of the interior; a known rapist; saying #that french people are angry about the reform but ''they swallowed it'' #that was yesterday; this week is going well so far #cool thing that happened last week is that the film director who won the césar des lycéens award #made a speech in the presence of the minister of education in which he said #''it must be hard to be minister of education for a president whose words and actions reflect the opposite #of the values school is supposed to teach the youth: contempt rather than respect; dictating rather than dialoguing'' (etc) #also last week when macron went to notre-dame and of course forbade protests in the area #so protesters hopped on a boat and protested on the seine next to notre-dame #frpol

I saw Barbie and didn’t hate it, enjoyed some parts immensely, but

THE KENS HAD ARMPIT HAIR. Why Greta ??? . Literally give me 1(one) reason why the male actors weren’t required to shave their armpits. They are playing plastic DOLLS. AND they wear little shorty shorts and do humiliating things because it’s supposed to kind of reflect how men treat women . At the very very very very very least they all should have been hairless aside from their heads. And honestly I would have glued down their head hair a bit more if I were in charge of HMU but anyways

of course the Barbies didn’t have armpit hair ! but of course not - Barbies don’t have armpit hair and neither do we expect to see adult women in film with armpit hair. BUT WHY NOT TAKE IT OFF THE KEN DOLLS?????

#It made me sick lol #I hate to look at a human body and be grossed out by something so natural #But this was implanted in me. The patriarchy as you said constantly in the film wants me to feel this way about my body #And now I find the sight of a Ken doll male actor w armpit hair GROTESQUE!! And I’m right #Get the fuck out of here etc

I have finally watched The Creator yesterday. Watching that while the genocide in Palestine is currently unfolding was very, very painful.

Reviews on letterboxd I've seen focused so much on the what they perceived to be "boring sci-fi trope of wow robots have feelings/souls too" and neglected to point out how this film shows how US military DEHUMANIZE people.

It really grinds my gears how many people missed the totally not-subtle anti-military, anti-imperialism aspect at the very heart of the film.

#i do agree though the script is NOT good #the characters and the interactions and the emotional moments could've been written better #but as someone from Global South I absolutely adore the way they show how dehumanization works #i will probably say more about this film later. esp in regards to us war on terror and the on-going genocide of palestinian people. also th #whole 'A.I. must be stopped cus they will replace human' thing made me think about how people excusing israeli ethnonationalism #because 'Arab birth rate' would replace Israelis or whatever. that's why Palestinian children are considered to be massive threat to Israel #and this film a 'choosen child' is considered to be the highest threat to West military #The Creator #Gareth Edwards #John David Washington #The Creator 2023 #/text mine

Hey guess who was cleaning out their files and found stuff from their film editing course?

This was the last of a three-part final where we had to take scenes from existing movies and recut them into short format videos, in this case into a theatrical trailer. When I saw Blair Witch Project and Cloverfield were on the list of available films my found-footage-loving heart couldn’t resist.

#personal work #film editing #the blair witch project #cloverfield #I had fun with this one #my professor didn't like the abruptness of the switch and I agree with him #but I didn't have anything that would work for a good transition that wouldn't exceed the run time limit #also yes I know the text goes by a little fast in some places but the video had to be exactly 2 minutes 30 seconds and they were expendable #in case it isn't clear the implication is that the entity started small enough that it was hunting mice and other critters #then it started feeding off human fear and it grew larger and larger until it reached the city #where having so many people be afraid of it made it huge enough to take out whole buildings

Not to sound like a broken record, but fuck I love thinking about how things would change in the future, especially horror movies

“I actually really enjoy horror movies, especially the slasher kind. Did you know that many of the tropes found in it are the result of things that were condemned in the late 1900’s in western society? Many of the plotlines of the time were “teenagers have premarital sex and do drugs and get killed off, and the one that lives is the “good” girl who doesn’t do those things.” As you can imagine, those things were very looked down at the time.”

“Now, even though those things are no longer condemned, those character types still exist in slasher films, and have even evolved. There’s still the “slutty girl”, but instead of it being a Human playing a character that’s meant to be “punished” for premarital sex, it’s now always played by an Orion woman. In fact, the current most popular slasher franchise in today’s time involves an Orion woman who does everything right by playing up the “slutty” stereotype. So rather than being condemned for her sexuality, she’s venerated for it.”

“Do you think the Orion director was aware of the Human history of these kind of slasher films and did this purposely to subvert the trope, or do you think it was a natural outcome because of the difference in how Orions view sex and sexuality? As a director, it would make sense that she’d do her research, but also it’s been so long since the 1900’s on Earth, I wouldn’t be surprised if information like that is too difficult to find, I wish I could ask her myself.”

- person from the 21st century who’s not aware of how much of their knowledge is still common or not

#star trek #orion women #Orions #fuck I love aliens #Humans #I wonder what species would become the ‘stoner’ character #there’s probably a lot of better ways to type this out #like I kept going back and forth on if ‘archetypes’ or ‘tropes’ was more correct #and I wanted to specify western slashers cause I’m not actually sure what slasher films are like in eastern society and what might’ve #influenced those types of characters #so this is just a quick rushed version of what I wanted to type #because I need all of you to see my vision #made up dialogue by yours truly

Draw Everything June day 5. Pre-Endar Spire and becoming a different person, Revan was a Form IV practitioner, so I thought this reference might fit him.

#draweverythingjune2023 #draw everything june #revan #kotor #kotor 1 #star wars #san-surien suun #(actually it's pre-endar spire so he's actually still lach sulrass and ACTUAL revan but... i don't have a tag for that haha) #i always want to draw more action poses of revan but the only character in the films (best reference) that uses form iv is yoda #and the actual human people doing form iv on youtube don't do force-assisted acrobatics lol #i guess i've learned enough about gesture drawing now to be able to extrapolate from yoda though. should try that #(post-endar spire the only time he uses a lightsaber is the... uh... dialogue option for the whimpering locker) #i spent the entire malak fight shooting him and then using master speed to run away out of his range. malak must have been so confused #revan shows up saying he's not revan and isn't interested in proving who is stronger #he then proceeds to not even use a lightsaber while fighting and STILL wins. rip malak #also i accidentally made him like an inch taller than malak before i found out malak's height. quite literally overshadowed oops

marty hart's cyclical return to praising family as THE thing that keeps a man grounded, stable, and happy (specifically in pointing out that rust DOESN'T have a family) even as flashbacks show him spiraling into jealous macho violence as he lies to, mistreats, and destroys his family over the course of multiple affairs (by which he deliberately steps outside of and away from his family despite his wife's best efforts to get him to reconnect and step up to be the family man he sees himself as)

vs

rust cohle's repeated excoriations of the idea of individuality and personhood and the stupid self-centeredness and entitlement that comes with saying "I, a human being, matter to the universe, and the things I do matter", an ideology he carries for years and waxes poetic on for his interviewers as late as 2012, even as he obsessively works himself to the bone to get justice and resolution for the victims he's assigned and ultimately to protect children from the powerful and dangerous people who want to brutalize them

#true detective #so what if it all goes back to Melville and Milch. every great character spins against the way he drives #I know this is the point of their characters I know other people have said it before and better #but I go through it every time and this time Marty is hitting me extra hard. bc with Rust it's basically screaming in your face #Rust says humanity (without exception) is stupid selfish and vain and we're fools to convince ourself our actions matter #he then proceeds to take a job where everything he does matters SO MUCH. and to CARE about that job deeply and obsessively #but Marty... I've really noticed this time how Maggie calls him a coward multiple times in her efforts to pull him back to his family #and she's right because he's too much of a coward to face that gaining the sainted ''family'' hasn't fixed him! #it hasn't made him stop wanting to fuck other women #it hasn't made him the household hero the perfect father and husband the savior of the women in his life #he thought it would and when it doesn't live up to the fantasy he checks out completely #and even in 2012 when his marriage has fallen apart! he still lauds marriage and family as the thing that makes a man good! #despite all the evidence in front of him that he became WORSE after becoming a husband and father. he can't let the ideal go #he has good intentions at his core but he's obsessed with the idea of being a good ol boy and a family man #he shits on Rust for being isolated because he's scared to face the idea that he-- Marty-- would have done less damage on his own #sorry for the tag novel they make me want to bite. and knock their stupid empty heads together really hard #btw this show would be 75% less effective if they had not filmed on location. big brain move thank God for the TD S1 location scouts

One of the many, many reasons I love Blade Runner is that it doesn't have this Big Epic Final Fight you've come to expect from literally any action film ever.

There's just Deckart and Roy - all others are dead, or not here - and it's just them and one was supposed to kill the other and has become the hunted.

Our main hero protagonist is at the end, he's beaten down, he's at the brink of death, he can barely still walk and is just fleeing as far as he can, as long as he can, and he won't be able to go on much longer and there's really only so far he can run before he's inevitably caught. There's no last minute saviour, no sudden burst of strength, no last attempt to fight. He's terrified. He's running, limping, for just a few seconds more.

And the antagonist - the one who was supposed to be killed, the one who was supposed to be sub-human and is living his life as a slave, in fear - he's going mad. He barely ever had anything, and he lost the few others he had - the only ones who understood when the world was against them. He has only minutes to live, minutes that not even his creator - his god, almost - could drag out, a human god who died by his bare hands. There's nothing left to lose and nothing left to do, but there's the person who hunted him down like a machine or an animal that's one rogue, the one supposed to kill him, entirely at his mercy.

And then they're on that roof, and I don't know what Roy might think, but I know Deckart was done with his life. I know he was convinced he'd die right here - that both of them would die on this roof in the rain.

And when Roy pulls him up? There has to be an explanation. Surely he'll kill him now. What else could he possibly want?

But Roy isn't out for revenge anymore. For as little as he's lived, he's seen so incredibly much. And he knows there isn't anything to be done. He'll die, he'll be forgotten, just another rogue replicant - like moments in time, like tears in rain.

"Time to die." No sadness, no anger, nothing. There's nothing more to it, not anymore. It's a fact.

It's when he's free for the first time.

He's no longer living in fear. He died on his own terms. He's as free as he could ever be, in the only way that was ever even a possibility. And as he dies, as he no longer lives as a slave, that white dove flies away through the rain - a symbol of freedom, finally let go.

And Deckart is left alone on that roof, bleeding, his hand broken, exhausted, still not quite away from the brink of death he's been limping along for the last, what, minutes? (How long was it? Can't have been long. But it sure felt endless.)

There's no winner. No one has been defeated, either. There's just one who died, as he was always meant to, and one who lived, but his world might be in shambles.

What is life worth when you're just waiting for death? Is it freedom when you can never settle down? Could there ever be a different ending?

Also I'm going absolutely insane over the white dove which is a symbol for freedom btw like DAMN!!!!!!! IMPLICATIONS!!! AHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!

#i mean im basically going insane over the entire film #but especially that climax??? HOOOOOLY--- #a biscuit's rambles #blade runner #blade runner 1982 #there is just SO MUCH in this film #and im only super obsessed with the last part at this point bc it stuck with me and otherwise i was following the plot along #just wait until i rewatch the film and start analyzing EVERY SINGLE THING IN THERE #this has REALLY made me realize how much i love film analysis actually #like yesssssss make me think about messages and symbols and metaphors and the creators' intentions #also the time at which it was made like i once read an article about how horror reflects societal fears #and now im applying that to all films that leave an impact on me #like what does it say about the era in which both blade runner and truman show were made? (human goes against god who is actually also huma #but also very much god) #LIKE!!! i mean it was a time of loooots of changes! really big changes! the world was going fucking nuts! #WHAT DOES ART SAY ABOUT THE PSYCHOLOGY OF THE PEOPLE WHO MADE IT WHAT DO FILMS TELL US HOW IS SYMBOLISM USED #I AM GOING INSANE OVER THIS OK #I AM NOT FINE #I NEED TO REMEMBER HOW TO PUT THE FUCKIGN CHAIRS FOR A CONCERT NOT THIS NOT NOW AHHHHH #okay im normal again #(<- lie fy is still thinking about this and frothing at the mouth)
