Nosferatu (2024) dir. Robert Eggers // Wanderer above the Sea of Fog (1818) by Caspar David Friedrich

[turtlelioni]

Just saw Nosferatu and I am so, so happy about how Romanian culture was handled, and as a Transylvanian, this was such a big win.

The dedication, the attention to detail was amazing.

They worked with screenwriter/linguist Florin Lăzărescu to make Nosferatu's lines in the Dacian language?? Hello? There's not much to work with anyways because only a few words survived into modern Romanian but the commitment to reviving an ancient dead language just to have Bill Skarsgård speak it was crazy.

And while we're here, the accurate boyar clothing and wool hat and crazy moustache for Orlok!!! Yes, maybe it's a reference to Vlad the Impaler but I'm glad they chose that. He's nobility!

The peasants' traditional clothing and hairstyles!!!

Hiring actual Romanian and Romani actors in speaking roles! (Side note the old lady that warns Thomas not to visit Orlok is a very sweet woman that showcases many good recipes on TikTok and I'm so proud of her @bunica.gherghina).

Not to mention the traditions! The dances! It's so important to me that they went back to Romanian folklore to represent what vampires were supposed to be and blended it so beautifully into the popular culture. But I wasn't expecting them to also add in the folklore on magic and the occult! The Strigoi and Solomonari mentioned??? In my lifetime? Man I haven't been this excited in so long.

And the church scenes, too! Orthodox Christian churches (which can look just as creepy as Gothic style cathedrals, as you all now have seen) and accurate clothing for the nuns and the priest! I didn't really know I needed that old nun calling Nicholas Hoult "puiule" until now thank you very much.

This is so big for me. I could go on and on about this forever. Thank you so, so much.

here’s the real truth. there are eight million people in this city. and those teeming masses exist for the sole purpose of lifting the few exceptional people onto their shoulders. you, me? we’re exceptional.

couldn’t find a multi chaptered fic angsty enough that addressed the effect the words my life started when i met you in the woods had on will & will’s absolute self sacrifice tendencies with the will getting vecnad but telling nobody trope in it.

so i’m writing my own. <3

[mikeslawyer]

i WILL post the first chapter today i promise

[blessyouhawkeye]

it's been years and it's still genuinely crazy to me that the first two seasons of stranger things had this throughline where all the bad things that were happening in hawkins were directly caused by the us government and that they were excusing the awful things they were doing to their own citizens (children!) through cold war/red scare reactionism. and then in season three there was a secret russian base under the town mall.

[longtallglasses]

the consensus i’m getting from posts and tags is that people either think mike looking like his s1 self means either

a) he’s coming back to himself, more in tune with himself, being more emotionally open/aware etc in the way he was in s1

or

b) he’s trying to conform again, repression to the max since eddie’s gone as a leader (no safety) trying to blend in again, scared ! etc

and i don’t really know what i think yet i almost think both could be true - quietly open w those closer to him ie will while also trying to please and steer clear of this hellscape IDK the short hair is ConFusing
