Amadeus (1984)

Oooh, a tricky one! I’ve seen Amadeus but only once.

The women’s costuming is deeply meh, but the men’s appears to me to generally be quite good. From the colors and fabrics chosen ...

to the close fit of the shoulders and sleeves ...

I am impressed. Is that jabot horrible? Yes, the but the coat and waistcoat are beautiful. (Hopefully @vinceaddams will correct me if I’m wrong!) 

I’m actually suspicious that this waistcoat is an antique that was put into use again for the production, because it’s so good. (D: D: D:)

What I do not like, however, is how bright and shiny so many of the wigs are. This is really common in 18th-century-set movies and tv shows, because it’s easy to just buy a wig made out of white plastic. But in the period, wigs would necessarily be much more matte, because they were made out of human (or other animal) hair and powdered. The styling of the wigs, especially the women’s, is also a very generic and costumey interpretation of late 18th century hair that doesn’t really relate to either the 1770s (the high hair period) or the 1780s (the big fluffy/frizzy period).

to this day i'm honestly not sure if the pointy hand of symbolism and everything it was doing the pointy at was even like... actual symbolism with real significance, or if it was all just ikuhara trolling us with red herrings because a) i fully believe he would and b) for the life of me i can't figure out what any of it was supposed to mean and it just seemed random???

also sometimes it’s just pointing at the only thing in the frame there is to look at and it’s like... you know those Facebook memes that circle the only thing in the picture? it’s the anime equivalent of that

thirdmagic ha risposto al tuo post : Lmao, not only The Mary Sue didn’t acknowledge in...

It honestly really amazes me that their writers actually use the word ‘problematic’ as a moral criticism without a trace of irony, in full seriousness, in this day and age…

I suspect it’s their favourite word, it’s everywhere. 

I can only pray no one of them ever discover the Nasuverse or they’re gonna have a stroke.

The summary of that article is 

1. retcon (expanding existing wordlbuilding and previous characters isn’t what retcon means, by the Lord) 

2. a human ended up a pet for a dark wizard. Yeah. Because Voldemort is so famous for being a decent person right? I could understand “what does this add” (which is my own question with this development) but “evil dude added another evil thing to his list”? Are they even for real.

Worse, it’s full of “it appears that”, “it seems that” when they got nothing but 3mins to work with. Because shitting on a person moral standing and accusing Rowling of being racist based on a trailer ain’t “problematic”, nossir.

thirdmagic replied to your post: Time for KnK movie SEVEN, in which I WAS RIGHT...

ah yes. lio. my one eternal sticking point…. knk7 would probably be my favorite movie in the series if it weren’t for lio…. it’s so good on one hand and the height of knk in many ways imo but good lord everything involving him specifically is so bad…..

Yeahhhh especially because with this series I really felt that the movies were, in a lot of ways, only as good as their villains. I really didn’t expect #3 to be one of my favourites, but Fujino was a character I got really interested in and attached to and so it gained a lot more staying power. Whereas I was really NOT feeling Rio as a villain in #7 so it soured the experience (though wasn’t quite enough to detract from all the Very Good bits with Shiki and Mikiya’s relationship, which in turn shows how powerful THEY are as characters)

thirdmagic replied to your post “i know its 2019 and all but i still get minor whiplash seeing a fate...”

when i started out on tumblr and got into fate it was just months before fate/zero aired and it was pretty much only fsn (with some fate/extra) that people talked about and 99% of the fandom on here consisted of a very specific brand of gil apologists. that just barely started to change after fate/zero got big but it was still the dominant group for what sure feels like a while. how the times have changed......

i got into fate with the zero anime so probably an odd few months after you did but i know EXACTLY what kind of gil apologists you’re talking about bc they really were everywhere. then there was a brief period in what feels like 2013-early 2014 where nobody just talked about gil altogether? and nowadays gilgamesh bullying is a national passtime. secretly i never stopped being a gilgamesh stan so it’s kind of annoying seeing people mostly just dunk on him these days but gilgamesh fans still better than they used to be

the only constant is that ‘people die when they are killed’ continues to get reposted in the tag with varying levels of jpeg artifacts
