pirates of the caribbean

marvel

young sherlock

pirates of the caribbean is one of my favorite movie series of all time, and there’s so much that I love about it, the music, the story, the lore, the special effects, but I feel it often gets lost in the shadow of jack sparrow and it being “Disney”. I remember seeing a bunch of video essays about the films on YouTube many moons ago, and one video discussed how the films were always centered around will and elizabeth’s story. It was never supposed to centered around Jack. It’s will and elizabeth’s story through and through, and why the later movies fell off. Dead Man’s Chest and At Worlds End didn’t do crucially as well as the first, and I’ll admit that the first is really really good, but the story and lore of the second and third personally is far better than the first. I just want pirates to get the appreciation it deserves. Obvi there are things I’d change like centering Will and Elizabeth more, but yeah. What are your thoughts?

I legit get goosebumps whenever I head One Day or the Marry Me suite from At Worlds End. And Davy Jones is such a complex and amazing character.

Hot take, the third movie should’ve ended right after the green flash when Will disappeared with the Flying Dutchman and Elizabeth looked at the horizon.

(i do NOT own this image! i found it on pinterest!)

so i watched Mani Ratnam's Dil Se a few weeks ago and it's still on my mind.

i am utterly perplexed by this film, and i think in a good way.

it's cinematically beautiful to watch, and has an amazing soundtrack + songs by A.R. Rahman, and the performances are haunting.

growing up as SRK fan, especially when it comes to romances, this was very different to what I was used to: the stalker and obsessive behavoir was creepy and his infatuation with Moina was kinda icky. This is my first time watching it, and growing up I thought this was some great tragic romance story.

but now I can see it clearly; it's a tragic story. perhaps romance is how mani ratnam thought he could reach the indian audiences, with the political idea embedded throughout. the entire movie is an allegory put into something digestable for indian audiences. western audiences might find this movie weird, but its cause they have not been introduced to the idea of pursuing a girl until she says yes (like in many indian movies).

the entire movie is filled with layers of story and history, and it's nearly impossible to see this story as either black or white: it's grey, with so much nuance to each and every character.

mani ratnam, you were cooking, and i don't think indian audiences were ready for the truth you wanted to deliver in 1998. art should make one feel uncomfortable, and this film truly serves that. you are left confused, thinking, and slight uncomfortable.

AND THE SONGS!!!

Satrangi Re legit haunts me with its amazing vocals, the idea of the seven stages of love, and how it fits the bigger narrative. Dil Se is an amazing movie.

heyyy i'm back :D

i don't think that hero fiennes tiffin is getting enough love for young sherlock. like don't get me wrong i loved dónal finn's moriarty and max irons's mycroft it was very good and enjoyable, but hero was equally as amazing ! i haven't seen After, but from what i've heard is that it's not that great, and considering that, young sherlock is realllllyyy good. i was so surprised at how well done sherlock is and how much i enjoyed his portrayal. i think it really shines when sherlock finds out about beatrice and breaks down in silas's arms like genuinely it was so freaking good ALSO (spoilers) when he got shot that got me damn he's really good

i guess this is really just me sending my love for hero's portrayal cause i think he's totally underrated and i can't wait to see what the second season has in store for him! and also! like his accent for sherlock is perfect cause i was really surprised when i found out that his natural accent is so very different

that's all for now folks !

I NEED MY VOCAL KINGS TO COME BACK TO KPOP PLEASE SM MAKES SOME KILLER VOCALISTS PLEASE EXO I NEED MORE MUSIC LIKE LOTTO AND THUNDER AND OVERDOSE AND TEMPO AND EL DORADO
