#you know what this will be #not a polish artwork this time just a self-made gif from one of my favourite movies of all time #i guess forman was czech so it's still central-estern europe #but that gif is generally too good not to be giffed and has been with me for a while #like look i wouldn't be going through the trouble of hiding my thoughts in tags under visual arts #if i didn't respect that people enjoy the direction cc took thoschei in #but ffs it's cosi fan tutte in reverse #cft is an arguably misgynistic and a teensy bit racist by current standards opera #but what can you do it's the 18th century and two artisans trying to appeal to austrian court #but on a deeper level it's a story about pitfalls of deifying the object of affection instead of loving them as they are #in all of their human downfalls passions vies and virtues #and i feel this is what cc did to my morons #like one of the things that made this relationship so special to me is the intimacy of knowing someone for centuries #seeing through all of their good and evil masks and having a concoction of feelings that still feature love of what's underneath #yes there's jealousy too but jealousy is still a feeling for an equal amadeus is prime example of it #why just why would you make THE MASTER so keen on deifying the doctor even if spitefully #like i already made the case for why the potd fundamentally doesn't work afa *being the doctor* is concerned #but the very desire is no longer resonant just empty simulacric sentimentality #this is reversing from loving and hating someone as they are towards empty deification #and as wolfie says: that's not love this is just rubbish #and idk maybe if there was some cathartic realisation on the master's part? #or if cc's keen on keeping him a moron then some relfection from the companions? #but no the story the companions even the doctors memories are absolutely in on the idea #that the reason the master is not the doctor is magic of friendship :3 not memories and suchlike #details that make up the person #idk it just upsets me to see my child being a begrudging agnus dei and pontifex maximus in the show's narcissistic cult #i mean like with ttc this might have worked if it was given to someone else? #say after tdotd and hb there pops up a time lord absolutely idolizing the doctor? #we might even have a discussion on celebrity politics and cancel culture #but no let's just dump it on a character that's always stood out for the lack of delusions about the protagonist
