it’s interesting how toruk craves the bond with jake, that “when they flew, there would be blood” but jake doesn’t want to become the beast.
a one-sided love
im never gonna shut up about how much i LOVE the sound design in this scene. the difference in the wing flaps of toruk compared to the ikrans is just chefs kiss, you can HEAR how powerful toruk is
I was a PE teacher at an independent school on the outskirts of London. The school didn't have kitchens so pupils brought in packed lunches. The school was an international school with a number of Japanese kids. All the Japanese kids were slim and healthy looking with clear skin. Many other kids looked unhealthy, and had bad skin.
One week we did canoeing on the Thames; at lunch when they opened their boxes I noticed the Japanese kids had rice, some fish, and vegetables, whilst the majority of the other kids had sandwiches, a packet of crisps, maybe a chocolate bar, and a soft drink - the difference was remarkable.
I don't think I've ever seen an unhealthy looking Japanese individual or family in London. They bring their culture with them - they seem to have a forcefield around them that western food culture can't penetrate.
being born a targaryen AFTER they lost the dragons is like learning that your great grandparents were millionaires but wasted all their money and you get none 😭
It must mean so much to spider to see Jake be a part of the people; revered; i wonder if it brought him hope about being accepted by the na’vi. And indeed he was :)
Apocalypto (2006) ends with Jaguar Paw surviving the hunt… only for Spanish ships to appear on the horizon. Not a victory, not relief…just history arriving. One of the coldest final images in modern cinema.
