[quotesfrombooksarchive]

Her heart's a stranger to its own emotion. Sometimes it thinks it loves, when no love's there. At other times it loves quite unaware.

The Misanthrope, Molière (trans. Richard Wilbur)

Les caprices de l'enfant-roi

(spoilers below the cut)

J'ai beaucoup aimé le concept et le film MAIS je suis sortie avec un arriere gout d'insatisfaction, je vous partage mes impressions sous le cut

Cyrano ne m'a pas paru etre cyrano. C'est comme si quelqu'un n'avait lu que l'acte V et pas le reste et en avait retenu le Cyrano maussade, tragique et fataliste, et pas les autres aspects de sa personnalité (big up a artus pour sa performance quand meme hein)

Pas un seul long monologue de cyrano a la maniere de "a la fin de l'envoi je touche", "non merci" ou la tirade du nez? Un cyrano TAISEUX? Un peu decu...

En revanche, beaucoup aimé la scene ou Moliere le charrie, avec le "vous avez un é... norme talent" (ou un truc du genre), tres theatral, tres moliere

MAIS pourquoi cyrano l'a pas combattu en duel a la fin???? Et pas de "mais il a deja un crush..." cyrano c'est le mec qui tombe vraiment amoureux, cache ce genre de choses pendant des dizaines d'annees. Pas de coup de foudre, non non non

Moliere etait tres tres chouette, en tant que femme de theatre il m'a rappelé teeeellement de souvenirs de "non mais ce sera plus drole si on le fait comme ca" ou autres comediens bien relou, performance et personnage ouf.

Madeleiiiine je l'aime tellement (par contre a ce niveau ils pouvaient creer un nouveau personnage ou au moins ne pas se moquer des differences d'age, les amours de Moliere ne sont pas les mieux placés pour en parler)

Tres tres attachant le petit louis XIV, rien a redire la dessus il etait tres bon dans le role "pas mechant, juste tres tres tres privilegie"

J'ai eu un doute sur si c'etait le fils de boucher qui allait acceder au trone en connaissant un peu l'histoire de france et l'image du vrai louis xiv

La grande mademoiselle etait top aussi, performance tres tres drole

Situations were suggested, generated lines analysed, and new variations requested. Each scene went through numerous rewrites. The creators explained to the AI model why some proposals did not work, suggested dramatic devices typical of Molière’s comedy, and gradually refined the text. AI made suggestions; the artists selected, guided, and corrected them.

Molière Ex Machina: when AI lends its pen to the 17th Century

The project “Molière Ex Machina” uses artificial intelligence to imagine a brand-new play that Molière might have written had he lived longe

The article on Sorbonne's website bolded the important part, so I don't have to.

And it's the most important part. The most important part that lines up with four years of my experience with the tech. Working with AI means beating it with a stick over its stupid tin head most of the time, and fixing the output by hand rest of the time. Particularly if you're working with a full theatrical play's worth of material.

These guys were insistent on doing stuff they would achieve without AI's "help" anyway, to a similar result, and I'm not even sure if it wouldn't even take them as long. Unless they're willing to show the entire logs from Le Chat and their working notes, it's hard to tell whether they worked with the AI or against it, much like Darren Aronofsky did with 1776.

Either way, it's not a load of desperate sales pitch bullshit promising the impossible, which in regard to AI is a lot to ask for already.

So I zoomed in on this screencap and I can’t quit giggling.

I mean…

THE LOOK ON SWEET’S FACE!!! 🤣🤣🤣 That man doesn’t trust Mole with that weapon one iota and I don’t blame him lmao!

AND LOOK AT MOLE!!! That is one adorable, derpy little borb of a man that should NOT be armed with an automatic gun! Omg I love it!

AND HELGA AND ROURKE! Looking at each other like—

Rourke: “Are you ready for some serious shit to go down, Lieutenant?”

Helga: “Yes sir!”

I wonder how many times they gave each other this look before going into a fight or a mission? They’ve totally got each other’s backs in this moment. No wonder Helga didn’t see the later betrayal coming… Damn…

Two evil badasses over here. I want to Gibs slap them both for being jerks but they’re tall and I’m only 4ft10. 😅😭 Plus they’d kick my butt for even trying. Yet, you could also argue that they’ve sunk low enough for me to reach. Still love them though. 🥰 (Idk I have a headache and I need to go to bed).
