why the wedding scene in The Sound of Music (1965) is perfect:

1. Julie is divinely beautiful with her subtle makeup and simple dress and the set is lit such that she literally looks like a glowing angel. Slay Queen.

2. The way it opens with the sisters helping her get ready, much like a bride's actual sisters would, because they really are like her family of origin! And the Mother Abbess giving her the blessing to go forth and joyfully embrace her true calling 😭

3. The organ introduction with all the stops out slaps and I would really love to incorporate it into something in my own church organ playing if it wasn't so recognizable.

4. The Mother Abbess shutting the gate behind Maria as she enters the church being the visual symbolism of her final break with her former life plan, but all of the nuns still being visible through the iron bars and smiling as a sign that they are still supporting her spiritually as she goes forward to join her new family

5. The counterpoint of the wedding march with "how do you solve a problem like Maria" also slaps and turns the comic deprecatory song of the first act into a solemn declaration of triumph. Genius.

6. Christopher Plummer's VERY subtle smile in his closeups is so perfect for the character.

7. The way the procession is filmed makes very effective use of the horizontal length of the church aisle (and you get to see all of the gorgeous Baroque side altars) and the symbolism of a long nave leading to the sanctuary in church architecture, you feel like you are really following Maria on her spiritual journey.

8. The way that there's like 2000 people at this wedding, it's great demonstration of how marriage (and worship in general) is a public social good as well as a private good.

9. Maria ascending the stairs to the choir like she's literally climbing to God!!!! Symbolizes how the sacrament of marriage is an elevated, holy state of being.

10. The key transposing upwards to a triumphant E-flat, mounting tension as we approach the climax of the scene, and the sisters' voices drop out too, as to suggest that words fail to capture the significance of what is about to take place.

11. Continuing tension mounting as the brass in the orchestration increases and everyone approaches the altar and kneels.

12. The final closeup starting on the bishop and panning upwards on the altarpiece; similarly to point 7, this is great use of the verticality of the space and how church architecture draws our eyes upwards on purpose to suggest that we are there to be elevated to God.

There are three symbols of Christian triumph on the altarpiece which, in context, suggest that the sacrament of marriage itself is a Christian triumph and something that leads us towards God, but these three symbols also specifically relate to the story of The Sound of Music:

a. the risen Christ [Georg 'rose' by resolving his grief, waking up to his children's emotional needs, as well as his own]

b. the coronation of the Virgin [Maria is 'crowned' by being married to Georg and fulfilling her true vocation]

c. Michael spearing Lucifer [foreshadowing Nazi Germany's eventual defeat in WWII? Or maybe just Sr. Berthe and Sr. Margaretta wrecking Col. Schneider's car]

Overall, 11/10. My only potential complaint would be that Richard Haydn (Uncle Max) genuflects with the wrong knee but I choose to forgive this.

#addendum: It closes with bells [the way it opened wow full circle!] #and the bells help release tension from the intense orchestral ending and almost suggest applause/cheering #and with the camera outside of the church as if it burst through the roof after panning up to the ceiling in the previous shot #it suggests that the joy and holiness of the marriage transcend all the beautiful symbolism of the church architecture etc that preceded it

Technically the Richmond coaches had two chances to move Jamie to center and then didn’t take it: once when Zava showed up and once when they switched everyone at practice.

Both times they assumed he wouldn’t do it

At the very least we know he was willing to do it the second time (he even asked if they meant to give him the same position), but honestly? The Jamie who came to them worried about the effect of Zava on the team might’ve done it too. He is well on board with being a team player at that point, which he also demonstrated many times in season two. He probably would’ve been hurt by it, but he would’ve agreed to do it

(Then we could’ve had a whole season deconstructing how Jamie conflates scoring with winning with value in a way that really isn’t healthy but I digress)

For the record I don’t think this would have fixed anything. They probably would’ve figured out how effective Jamie is in midfield sooner, but they still would’ve had Zava, and after Zava there would’ve been the tension of whether to keep Jamie where he was or have him step back up to striker, especially since they weren’t doing total football yet. In a lot of ways, having Jamie step up and volunteer for it later really sidesteps a lot of drama

I’m more so lamenting the fact that with Jamie, when it came to ‘be curious not judgmental, they chose to remain judgmental of his past behavior instead of curious about his new ones.

#one of my big issues with season three is how ted really stops being curious about people #season one ted was all about giving people the opportunity to step up #jamie tartt #ted lasso #have I complained about the same thing before? also yes #would doing this have fixed season three? not really #so much of season three suffers from just. lack of payoff #which is why it’s so infuriating #there’s no one easy way to ‘fix’ the problems with season three because the problems are all baked into each other #oh you can identify points where the release of tension could’ve been more meaningful #but none of that fixes the shape the conflict took in the first place #anyways #ted lasso meta #I really am enjoying my rewatch of season three more than I thought I would

'horror, comedy, and erotica are the same genre' is a realisation you have like 6 different times in several different ways

#media that can be any/all 3 depending on who's reading it. buildup and release of tension. blood. etc #the one i'm thinking about: things people forget are art! brought to you by reddit posters #text tag

Sooo insane about Dean and Cas realising they get to have without fear of losing

#it’s about learning a hug doesn’t mean goodbye anymore #about reconditioning yourself to know that ‘I love you’ means just that and isn’t an indication you’re about to lose eachother #12 years of tension and never really daring to cross that boundary #and then release #it takes them weeks to get used to the fact they can have the casual intimacy they so obviously crave #because both of them are so hardwired to repress and restrain themselves when it comes to eachother #they sleep in the same bed but don’t dare to touch until one night Dean reaches out a shaky hand and laces their fingers together #and they both hold their breath like the world’s about to explode but nothing happens #and slowly they realise they’re allowed to have this they’re allowed to touch and hold and indulge #there’s no more Chuck no more cosmic consequences just the two of them in Dean’s room #so they lie in the dark for hours just their fingers laced together #and it’s a start #it’s gonna take a long time to be alright but now there’s a start

BAY ESSENTIAL OIL 

Bay oil has traditionally been used to treat joint discomfort, cramps, and redness; its anti-inflammatory and anti-spasmodic characteristics help to relieve tension in the afflicted region. It can be used topically to relieve joint pain and muscular spasms. It also helps to minimize edema and inflammation in the body. It can also provide long-term pain relief from chronic conditions such as rheumatism and gout. It can help relieve workout-related tension or muscular ache. Because of its antibacterial characteristics, Bay Essential Oil has been used to treat common colds and flu. It purifies the lungs and helps the respiratory system. To relieve chest and nasal congestion, it can be injected and breathed. It may be rubbed into the scalp to open up congested hair pores.

realised. dean is the perfect viewer avatar for a horror show. he gets to be both the action hero and the quippy, self-aware wiseguy who knows he's in a horror show. he provides a safe point; a comfortable power fantasy for you to experience a story through. he's ash in the evil dead. he's a gunslinging tough guy, and you get to see those moments where heroism sits on his shoulders like an ill-fitting leather jacket. and even when he gets his turn at being captured and victimised by the narrative, it's filtered through this mythic lens first. he's the tormented hero; tortured by villains, tortured by the constraints of his role. yeah he gets bruised, beaten bloody to a pulp, torn to shreds and killed, but his perception of reality never gets thrown into serious doubt (unless it's played out as a gag). the narrative valorises his sense of right and wrong, because that's what heroic stories do. their heroes provide moral center, regardless of how we might judge them. the lines dividing hero, anti-hero, and villian are paper thin, and dean isn't truly ever allowed to be ambiguous. and the hero always wins in the end, even when he dies.

meanwhile sam is the abject object of the horror show, a character who gets trussed up, chased, tied up, ripped apart, cut into, possessed, exploited, manipulated and psychologically hounded. he's carrie covered in pig's blood. he's the marginal person people are cheering on either to die - or to live past it all. he gets his turn at playing both movie monster and victim, always occupying the liminal space between both. abject horror lives within him. he's violated with demon blood, he consumes demon blood. he hates halloween because he vomited his guts up in front of a room of normal children. he will never get to be normal, he's designated the freak on multiple levels, but most significantly, by the way his narrative frames him. he's living inside a world that is at its core, fundamentally frightening and horrifying - full control over himself and his surroundings is always slipping away, just beyond his reach. his grip on reality and the world around him gets thrown into question by the story consistently. what's right? what's wrong? what's real? what isnt? the narrative punishes him - because that's what happens to you when you're living in a horror. he can never run away from his nightmare reality, it catches up to him like a curse nipping at his heels. the only way out for him is through the punishing fire. in order to survive, he's required to be pushed to the absolute brink of instability; emotionally, physically and mentally. he emerges out the other end, barely holding it together but somehow alive - like the bloody final girl, changed irrevocably by what she's experienced.

#FINALLY releasing this. oof #finalgirlsamwinchester blog thesis statement #i do also think this is where the fundamental tension between how both brothers are treated by the narrative and the audience comes from. #it's interesting that the moment the show swaps into a grand heroic narrative (s4-5) its perspective shifts primarily to dean's #and as the show grew into becoming a primarily action adventure narrative. dean takes center stage! that's his home genre! #sam fades away bc ultimately. the kind of horror he lives in isn't appealing to the Generalist possible audience. #at the end of the day. guy designated as The Freak has less mainstream appeal :(( #my meta #j.txt
