#iichliwp imax

I really liked the halsey movie, I went into it with a grain of salt as the only other album movies I've seen was fall out boys and Melanie's, so I kinda expected ya know, weirdness and not so perfect acting lol, and im sure as halsey has taken up other acting projects they've heard the criticism and have done some work (I still haven't seen americana yet and I'm also pretty excited for maxxxine, also as someone who hasn't even seen X or pearl yet)

But I feel like the movie itself was based around a lot of halseys experiences with pregnancy, I fucking loved what you might call the "impregnation" scene, idk, something something, self induced body horror.

I don't know if it was worth the 12 bucks on amazon, but my sister bought it for me lol. Fall out boys movie was free on YouTube and also had some boobs, but maybe 12 bucks is the price you pay for imax and full frontal nudity from the artist themselves. I know nudity is more so relevant for ratings but for some reason my brain is correlating that with the cost lmfao

I really liked it too! I was a bit apprehensive, just because it was such a huge undertaking. I'd also seen Melanie's movie at that point, and of course jumped on the Lemonade train with Beyonce as soon as I could. Janelle Monae did a movie for their album Dirty Computer, too (which I adored.) So I was prepared for the whole "concept album film" thing, and I figured since Halsey already makes very cinematic music, they had a good chance of making a really cool film.

And I think IICHLIWP is a great film! I really loved the whole storyline about Lila and her pregnancy and how that was tied to her royalty. All the little hints and glimpses about the "Lilith" character, especially whenever Lila saw her in the mirror - it just made for a really cool kind of "legend" style story, when it all ends with Lila dying and Lilith coming to life. I think it gave Halsey a chance to work through their own complicated feelings about motherhood, pregnancy, and the way these things are both incredibly liberating and horrifying and limiting all at once. It's also just a very visually interesting film and I love the costumes and the makeup. (And hey, shoutout to Halsey's pregnancy titties, they looked so good 😂😂)

I will agree though with some of the criticism H has gotten around their acting. I think they're an incredible artist - they can paint, sing, dance, create incredible visual worlds, do gorgeous makeup, write beautiful poetry... it's probably okay that they aren't also the most talented actor in the world, lol. I tend to think that she's really good with like, facial expressions and body language, but something about her line reads often comes across as just a little stilted to me.

That being said, I also haven't seen her in Americana. And they were clearly talented enough to land a role in Maxxxine, which is a pretty big deal. Maybe she's grown and worked on it, like you said.

All in all I'm curious to see what she'll do as an actor. And I'm always excited about their music videos and the other visual/film mediums she does for their albums. I feel like she's already so great at so many things, and even if I end up being underwhelmed by her acting, I'll have a million more ways she's gonna impress me to enjoy. <3

IICLIWP IMAX THOUGHTS

*warning: spoilers below*

okay IICHLIWP in IMAX was really great!! 

if you’re expecting a standard, plot-centric movie, that’s not what this is. although the film definitely has a story to it, it isn’t always told linearly. also, the film usually relies on visuals to communicate its story more so than spoken dialogue. but I promise you, there *is* a story and I personally found the film to be a fun watch. 

the visuals were absolutely stunning! besides the music, this was probably the highlight of the movie. H wore so many beautiful costumes and also had some really impressive makeup looks. 

but of course the most important thing was the music! I loved H’s previous punksey songs, and this was very much in that same vein, so I really enjoyed this film’s music. honestly, I’m even more excited for the album than I was before. I can’t wait to hear the songs in full. I honestly think this has the potential to be H’s best album.

not every song was played during the film (H confirmed this in a tweet). I’m almost 100% sure, however, that the following songs were in the movie: Girl is a Gun; I am not a Woman, I’m a God; The Lighthouse; Ya’aburnee. The other songs were a bit harder to identify, so I’m not exactly sure which ones those were, although I think the film might have opened with The Tradition Bells in Santa Fe.

if you have any questions about the film or about my experience please just send me an ask!! I’d be happy to answer

I’m so glad I got to see the IICHLIWP experience in London last night. It was such an amazing production to compliment one of the best eras! I’ve been streaming the album for hours today 🤪

I’ve just come back from watching If I Can’t Have Love I Want Power and honestly it’s such a masterpiece, I enjoyed the whole plot and soundtrack so much, and thank God I only have to wait one more day for the album. Halsey is one of my favourite artists and has my whole heart without question.

I really want to know if there are any plans to release the iichliwp film in a more accessible way sometime soon

I don't really know how it was in other countries but here in Australia we haven't been able to see it at all. there was going to be two showings in one city, that's it. and then we went into lockdown and now have had our tickets refunded and there's not a single word from Halsey about it or about whether it'll be accessible any other way at some point.

I love Halsey, and I don't want to criticise them because I understand the desire for the IMAX release but it just feels like at least Australia has been completely neglected

#halsey #iichliwp

[iamnotawomanimagod]

how would you rank the Halsey albums, if you had to?

Hmmm... tough question, anon. It's not really set in stone! But if I had to rank them right now:

4. Hopeless Fountain Kingdom

This album does have some absolute bangers on it. I still love "100 Letters" and "Devil in Me" and "Don't Play" sooo much. But there are enough songs on it that I am not absolutely obsessed with to keep it in last place.

I still love it, though! It's one of my favorites to blast while I'm cleaning. And I still think it had the best aesthetics - I loved all the bright colors, and the Romeo + Juliet references (I am a sucker for Baz Luhrmann,) and the way she color-blocked different parts of the era. We also got so many great performances from it!

3. Manic

I will always treasure this album for the way it allowed Halsey to open up and be more personal in their songwriting. It was a beautiful, broken, bipolar little era. Came out right when the pandemic began, but had such a long lead-up that the era both never quite started and simultaneously felt complete before it really ended.

"Ashley" is probably my all-time favorite song by them. The pastel/playful color palette was really pretty and fun. It's a great album - but I don't love most of the second half, and I think the bonus tracks were absolutely robbed by not being included in the official release.

2. Badlands

Without this record, we wouldn't have Halsey. They introduced themselves as a visual artist with an edgy, neon aesthetic, reflected in the videos and their style at the time. That iconic blue hair and the leather and galaxy print and skater skirts. It was such a cool era visually, never a dull moment.

There aren't any songs on this album I don't absolutely adore. Although the lyrics are simplistic (they've come a long way as a songwriter,) they capture a really specific vibe that fits so well with the industrial-pop sound. There truly isn't a bad song from this era, even if there are some I like more than others. With songs like "Gasoline" and "Hurricane" and "Young God," it was hard to imagine a more iconic time for Halsey's career. She had come so far, and created really interesting bodies of work with her second and third albums, but for me personally, nothing really had the It Factor of Badlands. Not until...

1. If I Can't Have Love, I Want Power

A masterpiece. Visually stunning and aesthetically cohesive - goth-rock with a renaissance edge, lots of lace and chiffon, and black and crimson, and dramatic shapes. Releasing an IMAX film with a story that weaves perfectly into the real-life details Halsey divulges in the lyrics - brilliant. Epic storyteller material. And the lyrics themselves are fresh and exciting, with more complexity than ever before. There are only two songs on this album that I don't absolutely adore, and I still really really like those songs.

The mystery leading up to it made hearing the songs for the first time so much more exciting, and really gave me a chance to appreciate the album as a whole, cohesive piece. That was refreshing and impressive after Manic, especially considering that they had a baby and maintained a makeup line and filmed an entire movie, which she developed the looks for - I think they worked really, really hard to deliver something complete, and they knocked it out of the park. I want another single though. "Honey" deserves a video.

I think my only criticism for this era is that so much of it is behind a paywall. Don't get me wrong, Halsey deserves to be paid for all the work they did, and so do all the people who helped make this album possible. But at the same time, while I was fortunate enough to be able to see things like the IICHLIWP film and the Moment House performance, I know a lot of people had to miss them. Since a tour is really unlikely at this point, I hope the visuals and performances that are available become more accessible with time.

Thanks for the ask, anon! Y'all know I love the opportunity to ramble about Halsey. 🥰

I’m getting a very strong visual album vibe from IICHLIWP… the Instagram only follows Halsey and imax. All the visuals are medieval/gothic, Halsey changed her profile picture to a picture of her in that aesthetic that looks like a music video. She calls it a concept album about pregnancy/childbirth but to make it match the aesthetic something has to be visual and why else would imax be the only other account tied to it? Not even the producers are followed and she announced those right away…

Also IICHLIWP will also be released as an hour long film event in IMAX 👀💝

[hotgirlscoups]

I just watched Halsey's IICHLIWP movie and I am feeling both blessed and also so mad that Victoria was in lockdown when the IMAX premier happened because it would've been transcendant. But it was so good! The way the music parallelled so well with the movie? Anyway ik that was the point but it was still magical. Halsey is a goddess and I would die for them.

i’m so happy for you omg!!!!! i really want to watch it but idk where i can stream it 😔 i’m glad you enjoyed it tho, it really seems like she put a lot of work into it
