Propaganda

Evelyn Nesbit (A Fallen Idol)—not sure if this is what you’re looking for in terms of text propaganda, but there was a brief moment in my middle school days when I was obsessed with Evelyn Nesbit. I had seen a local production of Ragtime, and she was the only historical character I had never heard of, so I had to know more about her. my reaction when I found her portraits is on the list of times I should have realized I was attracted to women. she was supposed to have been portrayed by Marilyn Monroe, but the role ended up going to Joan Collins. and how can you not vote for the hot vintage lady who was so iconic as to be portrayed by another hot vintage lady? that’s all I have to say really. vote Evelyn.

Mary Pickford (Coquette, Tess of the Storm Country)—She was a pioneer in early cinema! She acted, wrote, and produced numerous films and was one of the founders of the United Artists film studio, along with Charlie Chaplin and her husband, Doug Fairbanks. At the height of her career in the 1920s there was nobody more famous. She was widely known as "America's Sweetheart." She won an Oscar in 1929 for her performance in Coquette (1929) and then a lifetime achievement Oscar in 1979.

This is round 2 of the tournament. All other polls in this bracket can be found here. Please reblog with further support of your beloved hot sexy vintage woman. (remember that our poll era starts in 1910, so please don't use propaganda from before that date.)

Evelyn Nesbit propaganda:

Mary Pickford:

Mary Pickford wasn't just a silent star, she was a huge historical figure for film. I really cannot emphasize how involved she was in creating and shaping the film world. She was completely passionate about the theater world (from a young age!) and still revered even after she lost relevance. Her tenacity, her beauty, and her intelligence is what made her the first actress labeled as "America's Sweetheart." She just has this glow, a wonderful sweet disposition, and warm heart. She often introduced other women to motion picture and helped them showcase their talent. She was an astute business woman, although when asked about this she said "Well you know this business angle is much exaggerated, because most people don't expect much sense of a woman 5 feet tall. If I were 5 feet 8 they would say I was a very poor business woman!" She was friends with Amelia Earheart and had terrible luck in love. Please just learn about or give thought to my sad small sweet girl.

She was an absolute pioneer in the very early days of feature films. She co-founded United artists and managed her career brilliantly.

"America’s Sweetheart”, “Queen of Hollywood”, her and Douglas Fairbanks were the og it couple, owned her own movie studio, had both a drink and a hairstyle named after her

[transmascrage]

When it comes to transmasc representation in old media no one fits better than Oscar François de Jarjayes from "The Rose of Versailles" (1979) (Lady Oscar for my Italian friends). So much so that at some point I thought of having Oscar as my second name.

He's a fictional character set in a story based off of real-life Marie Antoniette as a teenager.

He's raised as a boy because he's the youngest of six, and never actually goes "back" to being a woman, because he dies fighting during the French revolution.

Oscar’s identity is a cause of great conflict in the manga and the anime. His agency is constantly taken into question, everyone around him is convinced he’s being forced to be a man by his father, when he’s constantly rejecting womanhood.

Transgender Identity as Parental Abuse, And Oscar's Agency

It's important to mention that Oscar is almost always referred to as a woman. The people close to him know he’s not cisgender, and always refer to him as a lady. But people who have never met before assume he’s a boy. 

He's always told to be more feminine by those around him except, most of the time, by his father. His father's decision to raise him as a boy is actually portrayed as dramatic, with thunder and lightning.

His friend André calls him Oscar while André’s grandma scolds him, telling him to call him Milady Oscar because of his lower rank as a servant. 

And even as Oscar tells her he likes it better this way, André’s grandma brushes her hand on a dress, reminiscing that Oscar could be wearing that instead of his boy clothes, and that she hopes one day he'll attend a ball dressed as a beautiful lady.

Later she drunkenly moans: "Oh poor Oscar, there's a conflict inside of [him], [he] doesn't know whether to be a man or a woman!"

Throughout most of the show, actually, people think Oscar acts like a boy because it's his father's wish, when it's Oscar himself deciding to present as a boy.

Oscar's agency is always questioned, just like it is for transmasc people and trans men (as well as the vague entity known as “the children”), supposedly "brainwashed" young girls. Many transphobes actually think trans kids are forced to transition because of their parents.

The recent decision in Texas to investiagte and remove transgender children from their families on the basis of “child abuse” echoes this sentiment, for example.

In the very first episode, André tells him "It's not too late! Become a woman, Oscar!" as he runs away. And even though he hated the prospect of becoming the Captain of the Guards, he chooses that over becoming a woman. 

The narrator even says "And so Oscar chose to become a man."

He's running away from his assigned role at birth by doing something he hates. He could have chosen to stay and "become" a woman, like Andrè and his grandma say, but he doesn't want to.

As his first assignment as captain, he’s ordered to dress as Marie Antoniette to take her place during a planned kidnapping, and he reacts by throwing away the dress and walking away angrily. His father actually sees his manhood as a costume he can take off whenever it’s necessary, Oscar sees it as his identity.

And even after Oscar's father decides to marry him off, he still doesn't want to play the role of a woman. But nothing seems to convince people that he's acting of his own accord.

Alternatively, many characters treat him like a silly girl who’s just playing pretend. It’s true that Oscar is young, but his identity in manhood is just as strong as those of the men around him.



Detransition Because of Social Pressure

Oscar doesn't express any wish of wanting to be a woman, except once when he dresses as a woman hoping to make a man fall in love with him, but learns the man is already in love with Marie Antoinette and desists.

Marie Antoinette also feels attracted to him, even though she says she’s disappointed Oscar was born a girl.

Which I think is very relatable for a transmasc person, to feel like we're unlovable as we are. Oscar trying to fit in his "womanly role" (the one time in the entire show) isn't really out of place, it's reminiscent of transmascs and trans men detransitioning because we're not accepted by the people around us.

Andrè, confesses to being in love with him (when he's seen him in nothing but men's clothes his whole life, might I add. He's not attracted to Lady Oscar, he loves Oscar the Captain of the Royal Guards.) but Oscar pushes him away and joins the army instead.



Transgender Identity Seen as Childish

At this point, his father regrets letting Oscar be "too unfeminine" and plans to marry him off.

This, to me, is another aspect of being trans even in a supposedly accepting family. There's an age threshold at which it's not acceptable to be trans anymore, that it's something childish that eventually the teenager will forget and join in their role in society. Then there’s the entitlement that families feel they have over children.

Yet another man, his rival, asks for his hand, but Oscar refuses. Then, as a Commander in the Army, he affirms his leadership on his troop, making yet another man, André’s friend this time, fall in love with him.

Most of these men have seen Oscar appear exclusively as a man. All of them, to my knowledge, are aware that Oscar isn't a cisgender man, but Oscar never presents as a woman, and he still manages to make three men fall in love with him.

Oscar realizes that he's in love with Andrè as well, and switches to fighting against the Monarchy with him, but dies by his side during the Storm of the Bastille.

The Return of Oscar

In a completely non-canonical book that only came out in Italy, Oscar doesn't die and instead becomes the Black Knight (a character that appears in the original manga), fighting against injustice.

It's revealed that he didn't die, instead just lost his memory. Once he regains it, he moves to England and lives a quiet life as Rose.

But that doesn't last, and he goes back to France to become the Black Knight. This is, in my opinion, just another instance of detransition that doesn't last (it's non-canonical as well). After all, Oscar is alone in England, the people that previously supported his masculinity are dead or have disavowed him, like his father.

He also kisses Napoleon. This man can't stop making men fall in love with him.

The story ends with Oscar leaving for America, but all of this is not canonical anyways.

In conclusion, Oscar's identity in manhood is constantly questioned or completely disregarded. Even as he says "My duty as a soldier comes before being a woman" everyone assumes he's simply being edgy.

Oscar is born to be a soldier and dies as a soldier. But being a soldier isn't even something he wanted to be in the first place. He just took on the role to avoid becoming a woman, both in the sense of getting married and starting a family, and in the sense of being seen as a woman.

Really, Oscar uses "soldier" as a short-hand for "man."

[ourshadowstallerthanoursoul]

This is going to be a long one:

So... I was listening to 70s and 80s anime theme songs and the Lady Oscar one popped up, and there was the video. I obviously watched it because I love that anime and I noticed something:

Oscar (who is a woman, but was initially supposed to be a man) looks like Robert (except for the beard), André looks like Jimmy, Girodelle looks like Jonesy and Alain looks like Bonzo (except for the moustache).

Oscar is the main character. André is Oscar's love interest. Girodelle has spent his life studying and doesn't like mundane things such as parties. Alain likes to start fights (he fought Oscar once, despite her being his friend).

They're all friends and excellent soldiers.

The manga, 'The Rose of Versailles', was first published in 1972 (the anime is from 1979). The boys went to Japan for the first time in 1971 and had quite a big impact there. Also that's when Bonzo punched Robert.

Too bad I can't find anything that can confirm nor deny if the author got the inspiration from them (unlike for Eroica).

Does any of you know this anime/manga and noticed the similarities?

The 10 Best Caitriona Balfe Movies and TV Shows, Ranked

With her starring role as Claire on the hit fantasy romance series Outlander, Irish actress Caitríona Balfe has become one of the biggest leading ladies in television. Despite her stardom though, Balfe has been careful with her roles, with IMDb listing just 17 acting credits to her name across a career though, to be fair, it doesn't count some of her earliest short film roles nor her blink-and-you-miss-it appearance in the hit fashion comedy The Devil Wears Prada.

The approach has undeniably been one of quality over quantity though, with Balfe's filmography including two Oscar-winning pictures, underrated animated gems, and supporting parts in major blockbusters alongside some of Hollywood's biggest names. These 10 films and television series present as the best projects the actress has been involved with over her career thus far.

🔟 Angela's Christmas Wish (2020)

Image: Netflix

Throughout her career, Caitríona Balfe has always offered her voice acting to underrated gems of animated cinema. One such example of that is her work on the festive Irish animated film Angela’s Christmas Wish, a sequel to the Emmy-nominated animated short Angela’s Christmas which follows a young girl’s hopes to reunite her family, especially her father working in Australia.

The quaint picture boasted a war-hearted charm which made it an adorable family Christmas picture which, at just 47 minutes long, was easy for young viewers to embrace. Balfe’s role was a minor one as the mother of one of the protagonist’s friends, but she was able to use her natural Irish accent.

9️⃣ Now You See Me (2013)

Photo: Lionsgate

A magician heist movie with a modern spin on the steal from the rich and give to the poor narrative, Now You See Me became a fan favorite film of 2013. It follows the performative magician troupe ‘The Four Horseman’ and the FBI and Interpol agents trying to uncover how they are able to steal money from major banks to give to the audience as part of the show.

Michael Caine plays the Four Horseman’s wealthy sponsor with Caitriona Balfe playing his young wife. Sadly, the role didn’t give Balfe a huge chance to make much of an impact, but it did get the actress on screen alongside some of Hollywood’s biggest names before her career took off with Outlander.

8️⃣ Lost Angeles (2012)

Photo: Burgandy Films

An indie comedy-drama focusing on the whirlwind that life can be in the city of Los Angeles, Lost Angeles was the first feature length film to give Balfe a real chance to showcase her acting talents. The film follows homeless ex-con as he is released from prison and moves to L.A. where he claims to be a legitimate photographer to get work.

As Jared (Kelly Blatz) becomes embroiled in the sleazy underbelly of celebrity stardom, the film takes on a grittier tone, one that Balfe was well suited to with her minor role as Veronique. The film was directed by acclaimed cinematographer Phedon Papamichael.

7️⃣ Super 8 (2011)

Image: Paramount Pictures

Released in 2011, J.J. Abrams’ sci-fi thriller is something of an overlooked gem in his blockbuster filmography. Set in 1979, it follows a group of kids using a super 8 camera to film a zombie film when they accidentally capture a terrible train crash on film only to discover it may not have been an accident as strange things start happening around town.

With the aura of the summer blockbuster hits from Steven Spielberg’s early days, Super 8 excelled as an effects-driven action spectacle, but it found its true brilliance in its quieter, more dramatic notes. Despite only appearing in flashbacks and photos, Caitríona Balfe had a huge emotional impact on the film as the recently deceased mother of one of the kid's, and the late wife of the town's Deputy Sheriff.

6️⃣ Escape Plan (2013)

Photo: Lionsgate

Yet another minor role before her career erupted, Escape Plan featured Balfe in the small but important part of Jessica Miller, the CIA operative who hires renowned jail breaker Ray Breslin (Sylvester Stallone) to escape from a top-secret maximum-security prison. The majority of the film follows Breslin as he befriends fellow inmate Emil Rottmayer (Arnold Schwarzenegger) and plots his escape.

Eventually it is revealed that Rottmayer is Jessica Miller’s father, and she hired Breslin to mastermind his escape. The film has achieved a certain cult classic status and gave Balfe a meaningful supporting role alongside two of the biggest names in Hollywood history.

5️⃣ Money Monster (2016)

Photo: Sony Pictures Releasing

Directed by Jodie Foster, Money Monster was a compact thriller which followed the host of a financial television show as he and the crew are held hostage by an outraged investor. The true villain of the film turns out to be Walt Camby (Dominic West), a CEO whose manipulation of a trading algorithm for self-gain was what resulted in the financial crisis of the young gunman and many others around the world.

Catriona Balfe portrays Camby’s chief communications officer who proves to be the underlying hero of the film, using her inside information on Camby to investigate his wrongdoing and reveal the truth. The socioeconomic themes gave the film a distinct modern punch, one which thrived off the back of its impressive cast.

4️⃣ The Dark Crystal: Age of Resistance (2019)

Photo: Netflix

One of the most eclectic and underrated projects Balfe has bene involved with is Netflix's The Dark Crystal: Age of Resistance, a miniseries which served as a prequel to the 1982 cult classic film The Dark Crystal. Like the 82 movie, Age of Resistance used puppetry to tell the story, focusing on a band of Gelflings who seek to unite the clans of their people to stand against the Skeksis and save their home world.

Balfe voiced Tavra, a Paladin warrior and Princess of the Vapra Clan who often has to serve as the peacekeeper between her two stubborn sisters. Balfe played the part of the tritagonist well, giving her a composed presence which stood out amid an A-list cast of voice talent.

3️⃣ Ford v Ferrari (2019)

Photo: Twentieth Century Fox

A racing drama focusing on Ford’s efforts to beat Ferrari at the 24 hours of Le Mans race, Ford v Ferrari became a major hit on its way to winning two Academy Awards. It predominantly follows the relationship between Carroll Shelby (Matt Damon), an American car designer, and Ken Miles (Christian Bale), a temperamental British driver.

Balfe’s supporting role sees her portray Mollie Miles, Ken’s no-nonsense yet devoted wife ever supportive of her husband. Admittedly, it would have been great to see Balfe get more of a chance to display the agonizing angst that goes into loving someone involved in such a dangerous sport, but she plays the supporting part to a tee, becoming a major reason why the hot-headed Ken was so accessible to audiences.

2️⃣ Outlander (2014-)

Photo: Starz

A centuries-spanning romantic epic loaded with fantasy wonder and historical grandiosity, Outlander has become one of the biggest television series of the 2010s and early 2020s. Based on Diana Gabaldon's best-selling novels, it follows a military nurse in WWII who is swept back in time to 1743 where she meets and falls in love with a Scottish Highland warrior, documenting their adventures across the world and through time.

Starring alongside Sam Heughan, the role of Claire Randall shot Balfe to international stardom, making her a household name for fantasy fans while seeing her win numerous British television awards. The penultimate seventh season of Outlander is currently airing on Starz.

1️⃣ Belfast (2021)

Photo: Focus Features

Irish cinema has been thriving lately, with 2021’s Oscar-winning hit Belfast one of the best dramas in recent years. The semi-autobiographical coming-of-age film from Kenneth Branagh takes place amid the tumult of 1960s Belfast, following a nine-year-old boy’s childhood experiences and reactions to the rising tensions around him.

Balfe portrays the boy’s mother, a hard-working and steadfast woman who, with help from her in-laws, looks after her two sons while her husband has to work long stints in England. Balfe was exceptional throughout the film, playing the role with a grounded, weighted power with her scene on the bus particularly unforgettable, highlighting Balfe's raw and heartbreaking performance.

Lady Oscar (1979)

#lady oscar #the rose of versailles #jacques demy #not sure this happens in the manga but it's ok

[ginkovskij]

top five animes

Hi Maša 🤍 Don't mind me rambling a little in asnwering the question (:

The Rose of Versailles (1979-1980), adapted from the manga by Riyoko Ikeda. The scandals, the intrigues, the dramatic sparkling eyes and glittery tears! The big crush I had on Lady Oscar! I used to watch it all the time on television when I was a child (and a teen, and now as I am an adult) so there's a sentimental value to it too. This anime has the most specialest spot on my heart (:

ACCA: 13-Territory Inspection Dept (2017), adapted from the manga by Natsume Ono. Not long ago I was rambling to no end about how much I love this one so it's no surprise I'm putting it on the list hehe. This anime has a super nice style, a banger funk sound track, great characters and a thrilling plot about a golpe and also delicious looking food. I found it by accident five years ago and regularly watch it every year, this is how much I like it.

House of Five Leaves (2010), adapted from the manga by Natsume Ono again (what can I say, I am a fan) I found it after watching ACCA and despite it being something entirely different, I think one can recognise Natsume Ono's touch in the lingering sense of ambiguity in the plot, the subtle tensions and the super charming characters that make both animes real bangers, the writing is great! The range, ma'am.

Mononoke (2007). This was recommended by a friend who suggested I may have liked the style and, guess what! they were right. The atmosphere is eerie and strange in the most charming way and compliments perfectly the various horror-themed plots. I haven't watched it in ages (,:

One Piece (1999-ongoing), adapted from the manga by Eiichiro Oda. Doesn't need introductions. Iconic. I have the fondest memories of One Piece that cover basically all my life. It feel so weird to think one day it will be over.

Special mentions: Mushishi (2005-2006) thank you Dani forever for recommending it, Cowboy Bebop (1999-2000) banger that I never finished, F (1988) that nobody remembers but I was literally obsessed with it as a kid

“Susan Hayward is primarily known for her highly dramatic portrayals of alcoholics and murderesses in ‘50s film biographies. She was a pretty, Dresden-doll-like redhead with a penchant for playing aggressive ladies … Hollywood loves this kind of out-and-out “acting” and gave her five Academy Award nominations, culminating in an Oscar for her role as condemned killer Barbara Graham in the 1958 I Want to Live … she was good, gutsy, entertaining fun, and she looks very lovely in her movies, but what she does should not really be labelled good screen acting.”

/ From The Illustrated Encyclopedia of The World’s Great Movie Stars by Ken Wlaschin, 1979 /

Born on this day: fierce screen diva and queen of the melodrama described by author Stephen Rebello as “tempestuous, ferociously competitive, icy, emotionally aloof, utterly professional” - Ms Susan Hayward (30 June 1917 - 14 March 1975). I’d be lying if I claimed she was one of my favourite actresses, but I treasure Hayward’s raspy chain-smoker voice (she reportedly puffed five packs a day) and bravura performances in campy movies like Where Love Has Gone (1964), squaring off against Bette Davis. And with apologies to Judy Garland fans, I revere Hayward’s ultra-abrasive, bitchy drag queen-like performance as sequined and bewigged Broadway gorgon Helen Lawson in 1967 cult classic Valley of the Dolls (pictured). Isn’t it fascinating to contemplate that Hayward was originally offered the role of Mrs Robinson in The Graduate (1967) before Ann Bancroft? I also love that someone wrote a biography about her in 1973 entitled Susan Hayward: The Divine Bitch.

Blair has her future all planned out. “After my one-woman exhibit at the museum of modern art.” One:gay. Two: one woman show,gay. 3 lastly she says she will settle down with some guy. It’s interesting she has it all planned out and for a girl who is supposed to be “boy-crazy” what bs, it’s not the first or even second thing she wants it’s the last thing and it’s just cause she’s done everything else and she will just settle down cause it’s what’s expected of her. I mean an episode ago her getting married at 30 seemed old but now it’s just meh whatever it happens it happens. She also wants to be an award winning actress that has an Oscar. I see you ma’am. But also just want to point out this husband she hypothetically marries is the “the president of General Motors.” A car manufacturing company. Hmm who works well on cars.

Then Molly teases that can never happen cause she will be the president of General Motors. Haha gay joke but also one: Molly ma’am that is gay but also why you got to mention marrying Blair. Also her response she doesn’t laugh and gets a little uncomfortable shrugging it off like I see you ma’am. You feel exposed but also Molly is supposed to be the progressive one who say they are women not girls. Molly also says she wants to be the Joan Baez of the 80s which the reference makes sense again but is interesting because Joan had come out as bisexual in 1973. This was 1979 and sure back then they ignored celebrities who came out like David Bowie but that’s interesting. I mean she has a song called Lady Gay come on!

It’s also funny how later in the season they call another girl Nancy boy crazy but never Blair huh. Interesting.

Happy Birthday 🎂 🥳 🎉 🎈 🎁 🎊 To You

The Iconic & Handsome Guatemalan 🇬🇹 American Actor In Cinema Today 🎥

Óscar Isaac Hernández Estrada was born on March 9, 1979, in Guatemala City to a Guatemalan mother, María Eugenia Estrada Nicolle, and a Cuban father, Óscar Gonzalo Hernández-Cano, a pulmonologist. He has an older sister, climate scientist Nicole, and a younger brother, journalist Mike.

He is an American actor. Recognized for his versatility, he has been credited with breaking stereotypes about Latino characters in Hollywood. He was named the best actor of his generation by Vanity Fair in 2017 and one of the 25 greatest actors of the 21st century by The New York Times in 2020. His accolades include a Golden Globe Award and a nomination for a Primetime Emmy Award. In 2016, he featured on Time's list of the 100 most influential people in the world.

Born in Guatemala, Isaac moved with his family to the US while an infant. As a teenager, he joined a punk band, acted in plays and made his film debut in a minor role. A graduate of the Juilliard School, Isaac was a character actor in films for much of the 2000s. His first major role was that of Joseph in the biblical drama The Nativity Story (2006), and he won an AACTA Award for Best Actor in a Supporting Role for portraying political leader José Ramos-Horta in the Australian film Balibo (2009).
