Utena Tenjou and the city of Troy....

[kseenaa]

Isn't it annoying when you read something and the end isn't at all what you expected? I just finished of Revolutionary Girl Utena and the end really botherd me! It wasn't att all what I expected! But on the other hand, you couldn't figure out how it would end at all. It is just one thing about it that bothers me. I hope I'll get an explanation for it in the anime that a friend of mine is going to fix for me. Hopefully, at least...

This day has been somewhat odd... I have had no energy what so ever. I have felt totally apathetic. chigrima, my dear friend, has been working on our masters thesis today, but I didn't have the energy to help her, wish made me fell bad. She told me I shouldn't, but I still did, I couldn't help it. It is just the way I work.

In the evning we decided to go and see the movie Troy. It was a really great movie! Brad Pitt was a real hunk... Men should wear leatherskirts more often... And the fightscenes was really impressive as well. It was relly cool when the camera gave you an overview of all the greek ships... Quite an army... I highly recommend this film, if you haven't seen it yet.

Now of to bed. I need my sleep.

Yes, I agree that the world would be better of more men wore skirts. However, I think he was even more... impressive... then he took it off! *leer*

[kseenaa.livejournal.com]

That I can agree with... :-)

An unexpected end is one of the reasons I've read almost everything by Roald Dahl (one of my favourite authors). Although if it's an unexpected end you don't like or agree with (which has never happened in Dahl's books) can be quite annoying.

Yup. Know the feeling.

It's worth spending money on then? I have a tiny little problem with film makers who haven't studied properly and I've studied 80p in Classical archeology/history so if there's anything that isn't right according to history/science I will go bonkers. I also have a huge problem with Brad Pitt. I'm sure he has a great personality but I just can't stand him. *Ksenas hard fist against my chin* ITAI! I do agree in men wearing leather skirts though, and in Scottish style too. >;) Perhaps I'll go and see it then.

(I sent KSena off on an errad so that I can post replys in her journal. Yay! *is evil*)

Well... we get to see both Pitt and Bloom naken within ten minutes or so of the beginning (along with a number of women, but I wasn't looking at them). I don't know how much that lifts the entire movie, but it's nice. Now I haven't studied classical history, but I'll hazard a guess. This is a fictonal tale and I think that shows. While I didn't spot any glaring errors what I know of, the tale did not seem "real". If you're looking for a credilbe tale of how people behaved in ancient greece you will be dissapointed. What yuo get here is a larger-than-life legend.

it's leather skirts en masse for most of the movie. Not scottish, but you can't get everything... *grins*

[godiz.livejournal.com]

Bloom as well? Yuck! Oh, my...

I know it's not real, it's from Homeros' The Odyssey I believe. And I know one should see a film for what it is (hmm... Swenglish?). I know. But it still bugs me.

What I liked about the movie was all the battle-scenes. I am a sucker for those... Sweaty men hitting each other all bloody with swords, fists and warhammers... Now that I like! And yes, I'm odd... :-P
The scene that got stuck in my mind was the scene in the beginning when Akilles (Pitt) woke up with two ladies in his bed... I so wanted to be one of those ladies... And I most say that all the women in the movie was very good looking to. :-) Brad Pitt did a good job in that role, at least I think so. If you cant stand him godiz, to bad. He is not my favorite actor, I only liked him in Interview with a vampire, were he looked really good as well. I can recommend it, not as a historical correct movie, but as a really good larger-than-life legend (as chigrima put it. Lots of adventure, lots of good looking men and women, lots of beautiful scenarios and a little bit of romance... Go see it. It is worth it.

Talking about the enoying end... It wasn't what I wanted it to end like. :-/ Thats why I was a bit annoyed... It is a very complicated story, I must say, wisch I hadn't expected either. But I liked Revolutionary Girl Utena none the less. :-)

Ah, Interview with a vampire. I've seen it. It's too pretty for me, but it is a good movie. I *love* vampire films but prefer them to be violent and bloody. One may conclude that we differ in opinion, but hey, that's life. What if everybody liked Brad Pitt, poor bloke, he would never be left alone. I suspect that I offended you earlier (I realize I expressed myself badly and unclear) and that was *not* my intention and I apologize.

It's good that you liked the book anyway. Next time something like that sneaks up on you, hit it right between the eyes.

[kseenaa.livejournal.com]

No, no! You did not offend me! I have alot thicker skin than that. :-) (SweEnglish...)
And we do have something in common. I like violent vampire movies as well, like Blade I and II. They are really good movies to. :-) It is just that Interview with a vampire reminds me of the LARP I am in here in Borås.

Phew! *wipes the sweat from her forehead* I haven't seen them, and I've realized that there are more vampire films I have missed. Buuuaaaaaa!!! Aha, you're a vampire? I have a cousin that's a vampire, and his girlfriend is a vampire too. And I have recently noticed that I like sucking blood so perhaps there's a little vampire in me too. >;)p

[kseenaa.livejournal.com]

*grin* Now that sounds good! I like vampires. Have you ever tried to play in a vampire-LARP? It is great fun, I can assure you. :-) :-[

[godiz.livejournal.com]

No I haven't. Don't you have to be sort talented in acting or something like that? Sounds like fun being somebody (something?) completely different than the sad pathetic little person one is. So are there just a bunch of vampires doing... what? Talking posh and being generally nasty? What? What? What? I'm curious.

[kseenaa.livejournal.com]

No, there is no need to be an expert in acting. As long as you are good at understanding how different people (or vampires) would act in different situations... I have played the same vampire-LARP for nearly three years, and I still don't understand the rules properly, so there is no reall need for that either. Curiousity is good. And being social is good to, since it is a social game.
Then what kind of vampire you become, depends on what vampire-clan you belong to. You can pic the one you think suites you the best. Or become a ghoul - a vampire-servent.
Check this site out - http://clans.owbn.org/ and read the OOC (Out Of Character) information, and you'll find out more about the different clans. At least it is fun reading... ;-)
