Watch Ravenous (1999) while thinking hard about the themes of Truth and Shame and maybe you’ll calm down
#or maybe you’ll get increasingly more agitated as you slowly lose your mind… who’s to say!
#it’s truly soooooooo upsetting
#the FIRST line in the movie is a lie told by the US military to further glorify itself
#where’s that Black Sails quote about Civilization pruning imperfections from its vine (WILDLY paraphrasing)? bc that’s what it is
#and then looking at each character and their relationship to Shame is sooooooooo fascinating
#i’m just.
#like. i couldn’t be being any more Black Sails about this but hear me out: i’m RIGHT
#Civilization weaponizes shame against those it oppresses to dissuade them from finding common ground and resisting it
#it encourages its subjects to view failings as the fault of individuals as opposed to systemic failings injustices and cruelties
#that’s all in there if you know where to look
#and if you watch the deleted scenes lol
#this probably makes zero sense without them but they are Necessary
#and again - i’m happy to link them to anyone - just hmu
#ravenous 1999
