one anime that i was seriously obsessed with as a teenager but like... no one else seemed to be watching and had no lasting cultural impact was Charlotte.
like... it was a bit dodge in the way that all anime in the early 2010s was a bit dodge but man did it HITTTTT... like yeah music really can change lives and being a teenager IS uniquely awful and you DO do crazy things for the people you love like. it really had it all.
and it starts out so deceptively too. it starts out funny and silly and then eventually falls apart just like how growing up feels. LIKE IM CRAZY about this anime . but no one else even gaf about it.
ALSO IT IS JUST SO DAMN BEAUTIFUL. AND THE OPENING IS SO FUCKING GOOD.
please watch Charlotte is what im saying

"The new Tsarina, Alexandra Feodorovna, was born Princess Charlotte of Prussia, daughter of the famous Queen Louise. The romance between the two began when Nicholas was 18 and Charlotte was 17. The couple walked hand in hand through the countryside, and then went to listen to concerts at the Berlin Opera, where works by Mozart and Beethoven were played. On July 13, 1817, the romantic and magnified Charlotte, already calling herself Alexandra, married the future Tsar Nicholas I. She could not imagine that one day the Imperial responsibilities would crush her fragile shoulders. The Dowager Empress was very fond of her daughter-in-law, whom she compared to "a morning of spring." Elisabeth (Alexeievna), on the other hand, did not seem at all sensitive to her charms. Suspicious and merciless, Nicholas I was also a demanding, not to say despotic husband. His fragile wife did not take very long in losing her freshness and health. The rhythm of life imposed by the emperor and seven consecutive births contributed to the weakening of Alexandra. The best description of the relationship between the two was left to us by the Marquis de Custine: "he takes care of her, prepares drinks, makes her take them, like a nurse; as soon as she gets to her feet, he returns to kill her with agitations, parties, trips, love (…). Woman, children, servants, relatives, favorites, in Russia everything must accompany the imperial whirlwind smiling to death." Indeed, Nicholas never noticed Alexandra's excessive thinness, nor the resignation in her tired eyes. "It is a great joy," she wrote to her brother, "to always have a little child at home, but I wanted so much to spend several years resting…". After twenty years of marriage The Emperor still wrote to his wife: "God has given you such a happy temperament that there is no merit in loving you. I exist for you, you are me -- I couldn't say it any other way… If sometimes I am demanding it is because I seek everything in you: happiness, joy, rest… I'd like to make you a hundred times happier.""
The Tsarinas - The Woman who Made Russia | Vladimir Fedorovski.

Nymphomaniac (2013)
Tumblr media
Movie #1,150 • Ranking Lars von Trier #3
By way of its shear gargantuan size (almost 5 ½ hours), and its position as the final entry of his most polarizing era (the Depression trilogy), Nymphomaniac seems to be screaming for — if not only striving to achieve — magnum opus status in the Lars von Trier filmography. The inclusion of hardcore porn is all many (probably too many) are gonna remember about this, but not me. I'll remember all the asinine and overly complicated metaphors intertwined throughout and Christian Slater's atrocious attempt at an English accent. Just kidding. I'll remember the sex stuff.
It’s ugly and sick and I’m sure ‘problematic’ and so on, and yet it ranks among von Trier’s very best because all of those things are part of the human experience, and he hasn’t just made a film about them here: he’s made a film that literally and physically invokes them in the viewer. The difference between a piece of art like this and some scrap of torture porn (or regular porn sometimes) is that, in spite of the vileness of these characters and the full-view, unfiltered look into their actions, it’s rendered beautifully and thoughtfully (the latter almost to a fault, with the plentiful and sometimes lengthy off-kilter digressions into metaphor, though I appreciated those too).
It feels like the spiritual successor, in a way, to 1996’s Breaking the Waves. Where, for better or worse, that film remained tied down to a traditional narrative structure, the setup here (especially with its conversational framing device and use of found footage) is allowed to burst free. Where Emily Watson's Bess became a nymphomaniac out of duty and real human love, Charlotte Gainsbourg's Joe became one out of compulsion and a personified inner rage. It's fitting that Stellan Skarsgård played the central counterpart in each movie, too: the injured, impotent husband in Wave s and the asexual intellectual foil here, Seligman. They would make a lovely double feature if you have half a day to kill.
Also, on that point, its length is a crucial if not necessary asset in terms of its success. Where the grotesque elements of Antichrist felt like cheap genre riffs unloaded in its final act, the audience is inundated from the get-go here with a variety of “hard to watch” scenes and sequences of all stripes and duration. And they come steadily for FIVE hours. It’s an endurance test, perhaps, but a rewarding one — particularly in the middle stretch of Vol. II.
It’s also the rare movie where you don’t need to relate to, sympathize with, or even totally understand the motives of the protagonist. The film is set with up a question: is Joe good or bad? This query is batted back and forth ad nauseam in Vol. I but it slowly dissipates over the course of the second part. In the end, it's more about humanity at large and Joe is just an avatar for our evil urges.
And Seligman's heel turn in the end is the ultimate von Trierian joke. Of course he was just listening to get into her pants. What is a woman like Joe without the thousands (millions, billions) of men? There are, naturally, touchy concepts about gender swirling all around here and, in the beginning, it felt like this was subtly leaning into the misogynist territory of Antichrist (I don't necessarily see that film as stridently anti-women but that sentiment is definitely out there). The wonderful thing about Nymphomaniac is that, by its conclusion, we do register some sympathy for Joe, if not even viewing her as miraculously heroic. And because of its structure, constantly presenting both sides of every moment and idea, and playing devil's advocate, via the Monday Morning Quarterbacking session with Joe and Seligman, we're allowed an even further detachment from moral judgment. It's like LVT is hedging his bets while also staying ahead of the curve. It's pretty brilliant. I don't think this is von Trier's best movie but in a career full of audacious maneuvers and good taste/faith boundary pushing, it's by far his most daring and provocative. And that's saying something.
SCORE: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
I’ll be counting down all of Lars Von Trier’s movies right here at @cinemacentral666 every Thursday through September 2023

PHOTOSHOOT: MARINA FOR STYLELIKEU
StyleLikeU is a "A mother-daughter led movement inspiring you to accept the skin you’re in". Marina was photographed by Elisa Goodking on March 11th, 2013!
Tumblr media
Floral-on-floral might not be everyone's usual choice, but Marina has a knack for turning fashion norms on their head.
In a nod to 2013 style, she effortlessly paired a floral printed bomber jacket from H&M with a peek of a floral bra crop top from Charlotte Russe. The result? A bold and chic combo that showcases Marina's unique flair. Who says you can't mix and match blooms?
Tumblr media
Adding the perfect finishing touch to her floral ensemble, M adorned her wrist with a hot pink rubber bracelet. This eye-catching accessory featured gold metal letters spelling 'Sweet,' and when paired with a gold metal heart, it transformed into 'Sweet Heart' by BCBGMAXAZRIA.
Tumblr media
The same day, she got photographed by Alex Reside for InStyle Magazine, wearing this interesting iridescent purple money bill print shirt from the Acne Studios Resort 2013 collection.

Character ask: Cinderella's Stepsisters (Cinderella Broadway)
Favorite thing about them: They're both likable in very different ways. I like Charlotte for being a classic "ugly stepsister" – a comically brash, arrogant, silly brat. And I like Gabrielle for being secretly a nice, friendly person, for finding romance with the revolutionary Jean-Michel and a social conscience along with it, and for eventually breaking free from her mother's demands and fully embracing Cinderella as her sister, all while still being dorky in a cute way. Even though her portrayal is slightly derivative from Ever After's Jacqueline and from the redeemed Anastasia in the Disney versions' sequels, I don't mind.
Least favorite thing about them: While I like Gabrielle as a character in and of herself, making her sympathetic means we lose the fun of the stepsisters as a comic duo. That's a big change from all the earlier versions of the Rodgers and Hammerstein musical! I also prefer the original duet version of "Stepsisters' Lament" to the retooled "Stepsister's Lament" – when the two stepsisters sing the song, it's just about them, but when it's sung by a whole chorus of jealous girls led by Charlotte, it pits all the other girls at the ball too much against Cinderella.
Three things I have in common with them:
*I like pink and magenta.
*Like Gabrielle, I enjoy feeding the homeless.
*Like Charlotte in most productions, I'm heavyset.
Three things I don't have in common with them:
*I don't have a sister or a stepsister.
*My father is still alive.
*I don't wear my hair in gaudy pretzel braids or twin buns.
Favorite line: Gabrielle's first aside to Cinderella that reveals that she isn't like her mother or sister:
"Madame isn't always terrible. Sometimes she sleeps."
brOTP: For Gabrielle, Cinderella, once she gains the courage to help her and call herself her sister. For Charlotte, possibly Gabrielle and maybe even Cinderella in the future, if the hug she and her mother share with Gabrielle in the final wedding scene implies redemption.
OTP: For Gabrielle, Jean-Michel. For Charlotte, some man she hasn't met yet.
nOTP: Prince Topher.
Random headcanon: After being forgiven by Cinderella and reconciling with Gabrielle, Charlotte just might become a better person. At any rate, her future will probably be happy, because the fact that she's both the stepsister of the princess and the sister of the Prime Minister's wife will raise her into high society, and she'll likely find a decent husband before too long.
Unpopular opinion: I like them, but I almost wish they were in a different, original adaptation of Cinderella, not a retool of the Rodgers and Hammerstein musical.
Song I associate with them:
"Stepsister's Lament"

"A Lovely Night"
