Sergeant Howie - The Wicker Man

Sergeant Howie and the Terrible, Horrible, No-Good Very-Bad Isle

#the wicker man #shitpost #sergeant howie #summerisle #the wicker man 1973

Not to be asexual on main but if I went to a Scottish island to investigate a disappearance and had to stay in a pub and the landlord's daughter lowkey hit on me and then sang a song in the next room to me but I was engaged to another woman I would simply not have been tortured by that and I would then go to bed. RIP to Sergeant Howie but I'm built different.

#dude. relax. it's a song. hum along to the chorus if you like. why are you clawing at the wall #someone who's not ace weigh in on this. this cannot be normal behaviour I refuse to believe this is regular straight person behaviour #this is not a wicker man quote #the wicker man #howie #sergeant howie #neil howie #willow macgregor

I think it's a common misconception that Granda Summerisle invented the island's religion - he didn't! In and out of universe! Howie reads about the May Day rituals in a book that describes them as taking place all across Britain! Lord Summerisle describes his grandfather as "giving [the people] back their joyous old gods"! Extensive research was done re Paganism to write the story!

Granda Summerisle effectively revived a dead religion, he didn't invent one from scratch.

#the wicker man #the wicker man 1973 #lord summerisle #sergeant howie #also i think a lot of ppl think summerisle doesnt believe in the old gods #which also doesn't seem to be true #his grandfather didnt #but hes kind of sassy abt his grandfather's attitude #he explicitly says he loves the gods and the traditions #and in the dvd commentary christopher lee says he played summerisle as believing in all of it #and from a meta perspective i think if he doesnt believe it makes him less of a perfect foil to howie #any inaccuracies in the portrayal of paganism are bc all the research was done in the 70s #ppl believed they did all that shit!#and they mightve done!#confident assertions of fact either way underplay how little we know abt the period when druids were kicking about in britain!

[image ID: a sketchbook page-spread, containing black-pen sketches of moments from a scene in The Wicker Man.

the right page contains:

a portrait of Christopher Lee as Lord Summerisle, dramatically lit, with his face half in shadow.

two snails mating, their heads entangled.

Edward Woodward as Sgt. Howie, lying in bed, clutching his own arm with his left hand. his head is entirely in shadow, with none of his features visible.

Edward Woodward as Sgt. Howie, viewed from the back. the left side of his face as visible. he leans on the bed as he prays, wearing a harsh expression.

at the top, some messy hebrew text in cursive script, containing general impressions regarding the scene. the words "נא לזכור", which open the paragraph, are underlined.

the left page contains:

a zoomed-in view of a snail's skin, showing its texture. it is labeled, in the same loose hebrew script, "תקריב עורו הרירי של אחד החלזונות המזדווגים".

the same two snails mating, from a different angle - one looms over the other's shell.

Sgt. Howie viewed from the back, again posed for prayer. his face is turned to look directly at the camera, and he is lit intensely, heavy shadows obscuring the left side of his face and hiding the details of his expression.

a zoomed-in view of Lord Summerisle's left eye, which is primarily in shadow. it is labeled - "תקריב עינו של הלורד סאמראייל הצופה".

the same two snails mating, their heads entangled. it is hard to separate the two figures from each other as they are in intense shadow.

to the right, boxed text reading: "בוהק הוא הרושם הבולט ביותר בכל תמונה". the first word is underlined.

at the bottom, hebrew text containing general visual impressions from the sketching process. next to it, some title options, written as a list. /.End ID]

preparatory studies. referenced from the gently johnny/song of myself scene from the wicker man.
