just endlessly thinking about blue eye samurai.

thinking about how akemi, taigen, and mizu are if a coin had three sides or maybe just the two and mizu is the bridge of metal between them.

akemi being the ideal image for women, for the life they endure. she was simultaneously a princess, a prostitute, and a prisoner. her entire life was men making decisions for her, even the ones that had good intentions, and she believed her deepest desire was freedom. it still is, but she has been revealed to this heinous predicament of her gender, and she’s realized that to reach true freedom as a woman is to be the bird in the cage, to play nice and to earn the love of a man until he buys her a bigger cage and a bigger cage until he trusts her not to fly away. and it'll never be true freedom, but it will come with power. it'll come with the freedom of only one master rather than many.

taigen being the ideal image of a man. not all powerful, but not weak. he had a taste of what it'd be to succeed, and when it was taken from him, that easy success, he mistook it for his honor. he hunted mizu down to kill him, and instead he saved him. he saved him and saved him and he came closer to killing mizu when they were on the cliff's edge, and just when he gets to the point where he may actually fight mizu, he's tortured for information on him. he is tortured. Literally tortured within an inch of his life, enduring such a heinous violence, and he refuses to break. this man was a fight, was the torturer, and the victim of his torturing could've been his salvation from pain but he refused. mizu gave back taigen's honor but not by fighting him.

akemi wanted freedom and learned she would need power to have it.

taigen wanted power and learned that the violence that came with it was infinite and dishonorable.

and then there's mizu. mizu who wants revenge, wants acceptance. arguably the same things as them both. mizu wants acceptance, the freedom of living and the freedom to love and be loved. mizu wants revenge, which follows after violence and power, to get said acceptance. she thinks she must do both, have both, to live peacefully, and she's blatant about how she will not live without either.

she's given acceptance with the blacksmith, her "mother," her husband, but she sees the flecks of avoidance in it.

the blacksmith will not hear of her true gender. her "mother" will not acknowledge the crime of her birth. her husband can't find tolerance for the violence within her, the man of her.

and so she has to balance the woman and man of her, the ronin and the bride. taigen and akemi. and it's meeting mizu that they start to unravel their own identities.

mizu, who is both, and akemi and taigen who thought themselves one but turned out to be neither.

god.

#complexities #and comparisons #i think they are so much more than what i’ve said but just #the cinematography #and the metaphors #the underlying theme of birds #blue eye samurai #the poetry that you are #it feels like every scene was specifically crafted #like they did not make one undeliberate mark #like it all has meaning #i’m insane #mizu #taigen #akemi #mizu x akemi x taigen #the ronin and the bride

Not now, nor ever will be, over the mirrored framing and lighting in these back-to-back scenes. Same angle, same head tilt, both dressed in soft and vulnerable nightwear, another figure leaning into them shot from behind, one lit in warm golden soft colours, the other in stark, cold darkness.

okay but i feel like people don't talk enough about how artistic the lighting in AR is?? like the color palettes do SO MUCH for the cohesion and sometimes watching it feels less like watching a TV show and more like moving through a three dimensional painting. so often it's one base color and one accent and like, nothing else, and it honestly does WONDERS. yeah the green filter joke is funny but they use it so often because it evokes EMOTIONS and goes well with other colors and just. yeah. huge shoutout to the lighting department and the art department they knew what they were doing

#when i say there are members of the production team who paint i mean it with 100% certainty #alex rider #alex rider tv #cinematography #chaotic ramblings

Lokius is not queerbait because queerbait does not have this much symbolism and cinematography supporting it.

In the least it will be queercoding and they will say Disney didn’t let them.

#I have some posts about the symbolism/cinematography if you are wondering what I mean #I need to make more posts though bc I have more to say #loki season two #lokius #loki mobius #loki x mobius #loki season 2 #loki series #queerbait #if you’re wondering why queerbait doesn’t have much symbolism and cinematography it’s because it would fuck up the plot #symbolism motifs angles color lighting etc all help the audience feel it more subconsciously #it helps give that gut feeling of something either bad or good coming #put it where you don’t want it and suddenly something feels off and doesn’t make sense #actors expressions and interactions are not the only things that make romantic scenes romantic

the emerald pin in velvet goldmine (1998)

#velvet goldmine #film #listen i would apologize for posting about this film so much but i cant. bc it means so much to me #obviously the sisterhood of the travelling green pin tells a whole other story within the story of this film #and it's a fascinating one at that #because -- from what we know -- brian is the only one who STEALS it #reaps the benefits (and the tragedies) of something beautiful that was never meant to be his #and the HANDS #it's immeasurably important to me that jack fairy picks up this pin with his DIRTY hands - and makes it something his #and then the next time we see it - it's in arthur's beer-soaked (dirty - still - but in a different way) hands #ready for something new and bright and beautiful under arthur's care #SCREAMS #anyways #wonderful cinematography #i love this movie #if i haven't made that clear

convinced that people who are convinced rei was meant to be creepy havent actually watched evangelion bc that can be debunked by like. watching the show. like rei isn’t framed as creepy she's framed as tragic. her circumstances are portrayed as frightening because they’re like. child abuse. but rei herself is framed as a traumatised child who’s unhealthy coping mechanisms like literally every other one of the children. like literally everything creepy Around her is not creepy bc of her it’s creepy because it’s clearly a sign of severe trauma and not because rei in and of herself is in any way wrong or creepy (hell, she's probably the major character who does the least amount of fucked up shit, along with asuka) because her upbringing is.

#like if rei was meant to be creepy she’d be like. framed as such #i mean it wouldn’t make her creepy either way again she’s one of the better characters morality wise lol #but Evangelion is fucking excellent in its use of cinematography and visual language #and it uses that to express lonlieness and isolation most of all with rei #i mean you can see in eoe where rei as lilith is actually meant to be unsettling #the idea is literally just ableist projection #Which like why r u watching eva if you’re gonna be ableist lol the show is literally abotu childhood trauma #neon Genesis evangelion

There is something about the show beginning in a restrained purple

And Nueng and Palm mainly existing in the purple...

You know what? Never mind! It's likely nothing! It's probably just the lighting for nighttime. Let's not be excessive.

but...

when Nueng thinks about Ben at night, he is lit by red.

Possibly because Ben brings more of the same normal red Nueng is usually surrounded by to Nueng's life

Well, at least until thoughts of Palm start to creep in

Because Palm gives blue

and takes red

And the purple appeared in the background during the daylight when Nueng was watching Palm while playing piano

Well, until he saw Maggie playing around with Palm. Then, Nueng blocked the purple

And he tried to cover it up with red by drinking into the night

While Palm remained highlighted by blue

The whole time Nueng was yelling at Palm, the purple was stifled, and the purple wouldn't appear again

Until Nueng called out for Palm

And it began to creep onto Nueng as he reached out to Palm

After the fight, Nueng woke up in the blue

And his mother showed him love in the purple

Something he has been missing from his mom since his father's death, and only gets from Palm

So he tried to apologize to Palm by buying Palm the shoes he wanted, but Palm was strictly in the muffled blue and not willing to take any red

But after Nueng was bullied at school, and Nueng verbally apologized to him, Palm was willing to give color love

But when they got home, the purple faded (pay attention to the color as they walk in)

As Nueng worried his mom would be disappointed in him as she sat strictly in the red

But, as before, she surrounded him with purple love

So maybe purple is love because we know blue boy + red rascal = pair purple and pink

Why else would the credits be in the spectrum of blues and reds making pink and purple?

Or it could all mean nothing.

Maybe cinematographer Rath Roongrueangtantisook who worked on 3 Will Be Free and A Tale of Thousand Stars just really likes purple. Maybe he likes it so much that hints of it were included in the OST. Maybe...

#You know I have a point and the visuals to prove it #Don't look at me like that #Never Let Me Go #Palm x Nueng #Purple Pair since Day One because Palm gives Nueng protection which is his love language #Nueng only exists in the purple with his mom and Palm #Because those are the people who love him just the way he is #They will be in the purple on the bus to the beach in episode 6 #So maybe purple really is for the night #But why the red?#Why the purple during the day?#Rath didn't give us a color feast in his previous work for him to start slacking now #Jojo wouldn't allow that!#The colors mean things #the cinematography
