i think its reductive to try and cleanly map all of the characters onto each other BUT i do think its interesting how we get some of the strongest foils in utena-juri and anthy-nanami because this also corresponds to two of the most central themes in the show: queerness and incest.

#and of course abuse and patriarchy permeate everything #self hatred through the other moments #jamie interlude #utena tenjou #juri arisugawa #anthy himemiya #nanami kiryuu #revolutionary girl utena #and btw i think it is interesting to see how characters parallel each other i just think its less 1:1 than some people imply #this of course exists separate from the two halves of one whole gothic doubles type of deal with utenanthy

what if you are young and suddenly all illusions of the life you are supposed to lead (one with a man, one as a princess) die in front of you. conclusively, undeniably, painfully. and as you come to see the world differently, your eyes catch on your childhood friend. and what if she has seen the death of this life too, though she cant quite bring herself to believe it. and what if she knows that this is your fault. what if by being alive you have killed the prince everyone dreams of. what is there to do then but try and be what never was? it's better than being you

#THIS HAPPENED TO MY FRIEND JURI ARISUGAWA IN THE 1999 FILM ADOLESCENCE OF UTENA #juri arisugawa #adolescence of utena #revolutionary girl utena #going crazy. something about how shes the only one really cognizant of the fact that tougas dead #but instead of daring to imagine a world without princes a small part of her still believes in them (miracles). that she can be one #because a girl cannot love a girl in this world but she can love a prince #and if juri is doomed by trying to be one then at least she can say she knew that going in #jamie interlude

off of the top of my head, the longest sustained static shots we get are the beats of silence with the roses in the corner before the "just kidding" lines in her tragedy, the akio pov shots in the prince who runs through the night, and the zoomed out shot we get of ruka forcefully kissing juri before she shoves him off in azure paler than the sky. i believe the score cuts out in most of them to leave just silence/breathing/talking too. interesting how all of these deeply uncomfortable moments are conveyed as such with this almost sterile visual language.

#jamie interlude #revolutionary girl utena #if there are any other examples lmk these are just off the top of my head! and well they sure do share a theme #also these are different from stuff with no animation that still involves camera panning or zooming like the clasped hands in e39

big three juri utena anthy oh okay

#love how some of this quiz felt like an autism assessment #i do need to be put down for having more touga than nanami though #jamie interlude #rgu

aou screening report: theater split between random guys who most definitely did not know what was going on and then gay people. not packed so not very many audience reactions beyond a few chuckles, though shiori car and utenanthy kiss were hits. heard one guy say "what the fuck" and one girl say to her partner "that was the best"
