A monster post

dangermousieLong long catch-all post for all 3-day weekend activities.
Finished The Brigade by Howard Blum, a non-fiction account of the Jewish brigade in the British army that fought in WWII and afterwards hunted down Nazi criminals and helped Jews escape into Palestine. It’s an amazing read that follows 3 of the Brigade’s members and if it didn’t happen for real, you’d think this was severely implausible.
I am also reading Jude Morgan’s The King’s Touch which is a novel of Charles II through the eyes of his illegitimate son the Duke of Monmouth. It’s a really unusual approach and I simply love the style and the prose.
I saw Tristan and Isolde yesterday and liked it, Isolde’s bizarre tendency to read John Donne notwithstanding. Yes, he is a poet who transcends space and time, but I never thought this worked backwards. Why not just have her read some translated Roman or Greek love poetry? Some of it was pretty hot stuff. Catullus and all.
But James Franco looked really good with his shirt off, which he did a lot, and he could certainly cry on a dime. And I loved that the movie showed the dreary nastiness of those days and the fact that T&I’s love was in many ways selfish and heedless and destructive (of course, they are young and out of control), and I loved Lord Mark most of all (as portrayed by the still uber-hot Rufus Sewell).
I also saw a movie on![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
koalathebear’s rec and actually fell madly in love. The movie? Turn Left Turn Right with Takeshi Kaneshiro (yum) and Gigi Leung (who I simply must see more of). It’s a very romantic, very light, very understated movie about two neighbors who never meet because they always go different ways but when they finally meet, it’s love. They exchange phone numbers but they end up being washed out by the rain. Will they meet again?
There really is something magical about this movie. It never feels mawkish or precious or contrived. It just works. I shudder to think what it would look like as a Hollywood remake. TK is utterly lovely as a very shy violinist who falls for GL’s character probably because she allows him to come out of his shell and connect. GL is possibly even shyer than he, and is so adorable in a totally natural, slightly klutzy way. These characters are never played for cheap laughs, despite the possibilities of such, and in fact the overwhelming feeling I was left with by the end was tenderness. Go watch it.
I need more Asian Cinema movie recs.
And now, on to my thoughts on Escaflowne. I found the open ending very unusual but I loved it. I loved the fact that we don’t know what will happen to Millerna, because what I wanted for that character all along wasn’t to end up with Dryden or Allen or whatever, but to have choice, to be fully cognizant of what she is doing and to be free to choose. What will she do at the end? I will be happy if she decides she loves Dryden and will be open to his wooing. Or if she will get her training and become a doctor. Or if she decides to pursue Allen, now that she knows about his background and the fact that his feelings about her are ambivalent at best. She is free now to choose, and she won’t choose blindly, because she is pressured for time, or because all the other options are even worse (I am convinced she was merely infatuated with Allen, and in large chunk because she was forbidden to do anything useful, and because the threat of arranged marriage was huge). The biggest gift Dryden gave her was her freedom. I don’t like the character (he gets on my nerves) but I think that this was an amazingly cool thing to do. And I think Millerna has grown amazingly by the end. That is why the last interactions we see between her and Allen is her rejecting his help because she is so right to say if she takes it she will start relying on him (and that is why I don’t think Allen is controlling, he might have tendencies to protect but if someone tells him to stop it, he will), and the last image of the two of them together is his kneeling to her, a knight going into battle to a princess, ritualized and rather grown up. For all I know, they will get together much much later (I doubt it), but if it will happen, it will be on an equal footing and complete knowledge on both parts. Much healthier.
And that leads me to a thing I found interesting, because Escaflowne seems to be all about letting go as a good thing, as opposed to being abandoned or lost. And the difference is choice and knowledge and consent. So many character are traumatized or crippled by loss or abandonment: Van with Folken and his parents, Allen with Celena and his father and Marlene, etc etc. But that is because they had no choice in the matter and they had no knowledge of the true circumstances. Once they deal with all of this (Van learns that Folken, however misguided is a good guy, Allen finds Celena etc etc) their burden is eased. But letting go? It’s mutual, and not forced and is a choice so it only makes things better, not worse. Van and Hitomi let go of each other (though I suppose they can conduct the world’s longest long distance relationship), Allen lets go of Hitomi and (to an extent he ever held on to her) of Millerna. Dryden lets go of Millerna etc etc. But it’s all done with full knowledge and consent so it makes sense.
I think this also ties up to the issue of “for every action there is a reaction:” it’s clear horrid possessiveness will result in some bad stuff. Hitomi has to let go of Van’s emotions during the battle because she realizes her own feelings seep through to him and reinforce his (to protect Hitomi, to love Hitomi) and thus make him go beyond reason. But a more measured reaction is better. Because otherwise? We have Folken (looking like a fallen angel at the throne of God) stab Dorkirk and end up stabbed in return, we have the intense luck of catgirls turn into poison in their blood, we have Dilandau turn back into Celena because that is precisely what she is supposed to be (Allen gets Celena back not because he is a good guy who deserves to have his sister back (though his protecting her at the battlefield is to die for) but because that is who Celena is supposed to be. She was such an effective Dilandau precisely because Celena was so opposite). Just like Hitomi’s pendant, which is a pendulum.
I did like Van/Hitomi and I loved that they separated at the end: they are what, 15? 16? And this world is not her world. She might be able to see him again, or not, but it made so much sense. And after talks with Husband, I was able to reconcile her earlier passionate desire to get back to him, as they still had huge unfinished business at that time: she didn’t tell him how she felt, and he was still in huge danger, there was a lot of stuff for her to do. Plus, we get the super cool image of Van flying down on Escaflowne.
One more thought: I guess Dornkirk or anyone else didn’t realize that the machine won’t really work because they all live in autocratic societies. If they lived in a democracy they’d realize you can’t grant everyone’s wishes at once. You can’t have both my neighbor’s right to blast music at super loud levels and my right to sleep. You compromise through nuisance laws. And I do think Dornkirk was kept alive only because it was his wish to see the machine operate.
I also loved the chilling image of the “nuke” going off, and the really gaspingly cool fight between Allen and Van, and Van flying Hitomi out of Dornkirk’s palace and Folken’s renunciation of Dornkirk right at his feet. And the fact that Allen realized that his feelings for Hitomi were merely transference (Allen is glamorous but fucked up and I am glad that Hitomi realizes that it’s Van she truly wants).
Now I need good Escaflowne fic recs. Surely there must be some there.
OK, now interested in more anime. So far, choices are:
Revolutionary Girl Utena
Pro: bothkatranna and aliterati recommend it, and considering they also recced Escaflowne, I should trust their taste.
Con: it just sounds really really really odd.
Peacemaker, or Last Exile, or Magic Knights Rayearth
Pro:crumpeteer assures me the story is good and full of angst
Con: Hmmm, where to find. Also, know nothing about them.
InyuYasha
Pro: It's on cartoon network
Con: the little I've seen of it didn't inspire me
Cowboy Bebop
Pro: Husband likes it. Plus, from what I've seen of it, Spike is cool
Con: Noir is not really too much of a thing, plus, it's not as tightly plotted.
Fushigi Yuugi
Pro: It's the genre of heroic fantasy which I like. Also,dawntreader likes it. Plus, after my teasing of Miaka/Tamahome, maybe I should check out the source.
Con:katranna and aliterati both tell me Miaka is a huge Mary Sue.
Rurouni Kenshin
Pro: I already own it. Plus, I like Kenshin and Kaoru and it has fights. And I loved the OVA and liked the first few eps I've seen.
Con: The storyline (so far) is not as closely connected or tightly run as Escaflowne. Plus, it's very tied to a specific period in Japan.
Neon Genesis Evangelion
Pro: I can certainly get it in our neighboring video store
Con: I know nothing about it except that it involves giant battling robots
Gankutsuou
Pro: I like Western-based stories, and this one is based on Monte-Cristo. Plus,crumpeteer really recommends it.
Con: I don't think all of it is available on DVD yet, is it? Plus, am sucker for heroic fantasy.

Date: 2006-01-17 07:35 pm (UTC)The first volume of Gank is available on DVD, but I got it from Netflix. Last Exile, Rayearth, and Peacemaker are all available on DVD too, but I got them from Netflix or the neighborhood Hastings.
Cowboy Bebop should be available just about anywhere.
I did love the ending of Escaflowne. Everything isn't tied up in a nice "and he ended up with her" package, but you know everyone is where they should be. Even Folken is happy again with his cat girls. I loved the fallen angel symbolism with Folken, yet you know, just like Vader, he did the right thing in the end. That is done very "Star Wars" in the series, right down to the vision Van has of him. You'll also find "nuke" or "end of the world" imagery in a lot of anime. I suppose if you have one dropped on you it's something that is going to really effect your psyche.

Date: 2006-01-17 07:38 pm (UTC)Yeah, I googled Evangelion and it sounds very very odd.
I loved the fallen angel symbolism with Folken, yet you know, just like Vader, he did the right thing in the end.
Though he wasn't pushed to it at the last minute which made it even cooler.

Date: 2006-01-17 08:06 pm (UTC)I recommend Gankutsuou (one dvd is out so far, but it is reeally pretty), Last Exile, or Rahxephon. They all have epic, on-going story lines, gorgeous art, and complicated characters, and unlike Evangelion, I didn't want to hurl myself off the roof of a building after watching it. For a less epic scale Kare Kano (His and Her Circumstance), Honey & Clover, and Marmalade Boy are fun in a shojo kind of way.

Date: 2006-01-17 08:41 pm (UTC)I've never seen Evangelion, but it's supposed to be amazing. However, considering you like adventure and character interaction less than mind-fucks, I'm not sure it would suit you, either.
It's too bad because I can think of some movies I'd recommend, but not longer series. Maybe "Trigun"? I've never seen it either, but it seems like it could be about right. I'd also recommend "Hana Yori Dango" for the Bollywood-ish sopa-opera feel.
As for fic recs, etc...
Here are some really good sites on the Esca characters I think you'll enjoy. They have very in-depth essays, etc, that I think you'd like. Plus pcs, statistics, trivia, so on.

This same girl writes fanfiction:
http://www.airandangels.com/dilandau/scars.html
"Scars on the Heart" : "This story is recommended for anyone who, at the end of Tenkuu no Escaflowne, thought 'what's going to happen to Allen and Celena next?' After spending two-thirds of her life as Dilandau Albatou, how will Celena adjust to life in Asturia? Can she accept herself as she is? Can anyone else?"
Um... can't seem to find the rest.
Also, Anna's Folken fic!

I think you should watch Cowboy Bebop, but I happen to like noir and it is such a fun watch. It's kinda like watching Payback (Mel Gibson flick not to be confused with the horrendous Paycheck with Ben Affleck.), only in anime form and with slightly less random killing.
May I also recommend Trigun? It's possibly the best anime I have ever seen, as long as you watch it with subtitles and not dubbed English. Dubbed English makes your ears burn. Bad. But Trigun is immensely fun, and, I think, has a better plotline than Cowboy Bebop, but that's just me.
Also, I've seen bits and pieces of Ghost in the Shell and it seems quite good, it's just on at really inopportune times (2 am!?!) for watching.
I think I've heard of one called Full-Metal Alchemist from my friends, who claim it to be quite good, but I've never seen it so I could say. Worth looking into, though, since their suggestions to me are usually quite good.
I've heard of Rurouni Kenshin, and that I definitely should watch it, but nothing beyond that.

Date: 2006-01-17 09:32 pm (UTC)I don't know what's up with Inu-Yasha, either. Maybe the anime creators wanted to duplicate Fushigi Yuugi? You'd think one "Miaka! Tamahome! Miaka! Tamahome! Miaka! Tamahome!" would be enough...

Date: 2006-01-17 09:34 pm (UTC)Oh, and Husband watches Full Metal Alchemist and likes it, but oh boy, does it appear to be depressing.

Date: 2006-01-17 10:03 pm (UTC)Yes! Another Trigun fan! It's so lovely, I really couldn't get enough of it last year.
There's another show like that? Ugggh. Note to self: to keep sanity and television/head in one pieces, avoid Fushigi Yuugi.
no subject
Date: 2006-01-17 10:52 pm (UTC)I would also like to recommend RahXephon, which a lot of people mocked for "ripping off" Evangelion. But honestly, I like it way better than Eva. It's got giant fighting robots, but there's this ongoing theme that deals with with music and creation. And of course, there is angst ;)

Date: 2006-01-18 04:39 am (UTC)You might enjoy Anna Magdalena because while the story is a little odd, it's very beautiful.
Chinese Odyssey 2002 is quite cute. Stars Faye Wong, Tony Leung, Chang Chen (the bandit and Zhang Zi Yi's lover in Crouching Tiger) and Vicky Zhao (the homely little bread maker girl from Shaolin Soccer). It was directed by Jeff Lau, produced by Wong Kar Wai and they make fun of a lot of earnest costume dramas and also make fun of Wong Kar Wai's artsiness in his films.
Goddess of Mercy - depressing as hell but Vicky Zhao and Nicholas Tse are not only beautiful to look at, they act well. The Chinese director is female which is a little unusual.
Metade Fumaca. Stars Nicholas Tse and the bad guy from Infernal Affairs. It's a Hong Kong movie, very low key but very poignant and sweet.
I'd also recommend "The Promise" and "Riding alone for 10,000 miles".
If you like vaguely goofy Hong Kong movies (I like a few of them not all), then New Police Story and Love Undercover are heaps of fun. :)
Also Zhang Yi Mo's famous movies like The Road Home, Not One Less are beautiful tear jerkers. Farewell my Concubine by Chen Kai Ge is visually spectacular but kind of gutwrenchingly sad.
Also not sure if you like Jet Li but he made a movie ages ago called "My Father Is A Hero" where he plays an undercover cop with a little son who's also excellent at kung fu. It's a poignant little father son story with some amazing scenes of Beijing. I keep meaning to do a proper pic spam for it, but it's adorable.

Date: 2006-01-18 06:19 am (UTC)I just started watching Tiramisu btw, and it's totally adorable if odd.
And I like goofy so I'll definitely add goofy ones to the list. I remember reading youe post about Love Undercover and thinking it sounded just delicious.
I've seen Road Home and loved it. And I also want to see 'The Train.'
And I know I have a copy of The Returner which has Takeshi in a leather coat so it's a must :P

Date: 2006-01-18 06:25 am (UTC)Returner - turn off your brain but he's gorgeous. I forgot to link to my Takeshi pic spam from Anna Magdalena. It's here and he's very gorgeous .... boy who wear glasses can be cute :)

Date: 2006-01-18 06:34 am (UTC)I would especially like to see more Korean movies as I've seen only two: Bichunmoo and Chunghyung and thought both were gorgeous.
no subject
Date: 2006-01-18 07:18 am (UTC)I've actually only see 3 Korean movies - My Sassy Girl, The Way Home (different from the road home ;) and Windstruck - all of which were very enjoyable. I tend to avoid Korean movies because they're usually incredibly turgid and full of angst. The latest one that was popular was all about a man and woman who fall in love because they meet when their spouses are involved in a traffic accident and their spouses are in a coma blah blah. At the end, one spouse dies and one wakes up which means that the grand romance is Doomed :P Also, Korean drama is too prolific and I already have far too many addictions .....
I forgot to mention did you check out my pic spam of The Myth? Most people are still baffled but Mallika Sherawat appears in it :D I was a bit mean about the movie but I secretly enjoyed it ;)
