#manandbeast

Better scan plus some additions. Been thinking about how we're just another animal among the many others, but pretend we're separate because we cover our bits and get our hair cut. The concept of the ape of thoth, man waving his hands about in a crude attempt to act out divine nature. Just bee urself, man. A long monkey with good posture and less hair. You've got a ferocious beast inside of you. . . #maysketchaday #apeofthoth #manandbeast #beast #secretfire #figure #draw #drawing #sketch #think

5 similarities between Christophe Gans’ “Le Pacte des Loups” (Brotherhood of the Wolf, 2001) & Miyazaki, Hidetaka’s “Bloodborne” (PS4, 2015): 1) Both the film and video game involve highly skilled Hunters tasked with slaying Beasts, utilizing what resources and weapons they have at their disposal. 2) Costumes, building structures, certain environments, and Hunters’ getups are near identical. 3) The Beasts from both the film and game are terrifyingly grotesque as they are strangely sad, in a pitiful manner. The Beasts from “Bloodborne” were once men who’ve gone insane before gradually becoming the same beasts they’ve been hunting, whereas the Beast from “Le Pacte des Loups” was an offspring taken from his/her mother at childbirth. 4) The Bone Sword & Threaded Cane both extend beyond their original lengths, which is most effective in deceiving opponents during a duel, thus striking fatal blows. 5) The Theme of “Man vs. Beast” and the connection between said Man & Beast are very much the same, for men are capable of great evil and becoming the very same beasts they’re sent to hunt, should ever they abandon their humanities. #BloodborneAndBrotherhoodOfTheWolf #ManAndBeast #HuntersHunt #SimilaritiesFound #TheBeastFromWithin 🐺⚔️🗡

“Old prejudices turn men blind, drive them mad, devour their hearts, and turn them into Beasts.” Such a beast was La Bête du Gévaudan” (The Beast of Gévaudan) in Christophe Gans’ Historical-fiction/Action-Horror film, “Le Pacte des Loups” (Brotherhood of the Wolf, 2001). 🐺⚔️ Loosely based on the series of killings that occurred within the province of Gévadaun during the French Revolution, there lurks an unspeakable “Beast” that reigns over the people, one so few were able to escape from and live to tell the tale. To exterminate the Beast once and for all, two highly skilled “Hunters” from Paris, France 🇫🇷 are sent to conduct an investigation, locate the Beast, and slay it. Not as simple as one would assume, for the hearts of men are just as vile and terrifying as the Beast that haunts them. 😈 Brilliantly written, well directed, beautifully shot, and performed with excellence by the amazing actors/actresses in their respective roles, including Samuel Le Bihan, Jacques Perrin, Vincent Cassel, Émile Dequenne, Monica Bellucci, and the best among them, Mark Dacascos as Mani, sole survivor of his tribe and Knight Grégoire de Fronsac’s dearest friend/brother. 😍❤️ The Beast itself is but a representation of the corruption within the souls of men, since they are capable of great evil, whether they care to admit it or not. How are they so different from the creature they hunt, and just who is the real beast? An interesting question posed in Christophe Gans’ #BrotherhoodOfTheWolf the answer of which is up to you, the viewers, to figure out for yourselves. 😄👊🏻 #FrenchCinema #TrueKillings #HorrorActionAndDrama #HuntersHunt #ManAndBeast
