endless list of favorite movies ≡ anna karenina, dir. joe wright (2012)

An impure love is not love, to me. To admire another man’s wife is a pleasant thing, but sensual desire indulged for its own sake is greed, a kind of gluttony, and a misuse of something sacred which is given to us so that we may choose the one person with whom to fulfill our humanness. Otherwise we might as well be cattle.

Watch: Comedian Aamer Rahman’s explainer of reverse racism is still requisite viewing.

Especially considering the astounding number of Americans who think “reverse racism” is a real problem.

I agree we need a revolution, but a) we all know there were plenty of reactionists after frev, and b) I don't think we need the guillotine bc why do we need a reign of terror too?

i mean yeah i agree we dont need another reign of terror but honestly king louis xvi and marie antoinettes execution were kinda justified like. when the majority of a country is starving while the ridiculously out of touch nobility live in a golden palace with every possibly luxury, draining everything from the people who actually do all the work who are starving and dying in the streets, who dont even have basic rights, i think its understandable that they got executed

[madameroyale]

Understandable as in...people were pissed and needed a scapegoat, so it logically follows that they were executed?

Or as in, these people deserved to die for ascending to a throne that was like literally just given to them in a backwards-ass system?

cuzzzzzz....

I think my favorite part is how the first three are totally comprehensible to a modern reader, and then the fourth one is just “Wait, what?” You can practically see where William the Conqueror came crashing into linguistic history like the Kool-Aid Man, hollering about French grammar and the letter Q.
