The Rose of Versailles movie was so bad I don’t know how I endured those two hours. The animation was fairly good but the plot and its pacing were horrendous.

Sure, I must admit it’s hard to summarize such a long story. However, the whole movie watered down every theme that made this manga so good, and overall it was boring as hell.

I knew it was doomed starting with the erasure of the beef Marie Antoinette had with Du Barry. But the movie failed in many other ways:

Oscar’s internal conflict about her gender identity is completely erased, and her attraction toward Fersen is so unnoticeable that if I hadn’t read the manga I probably wouldn’t have picked up on it. Andre’s problematic behavior is also removed to such an extent that I almost felt empathy toward him, which is not a good thing.

Most importantly, I hate how they reduced the sapphic side of the story. Oscar’s love for Marie Antoinette was so underdeveloped that I barely cared when they parted ways. Honestly, I understand why Rosalie was left out of this mess but she’s essential to Oscar’s development. I mean, she’s the one who triggers her empathy for the people and sets her on the path toward getting involved in the French Revolution, which here felt like it happened out of nowhere.

Ultimately, the treatment of the Revolution itself is so superficial it’s unbearable. What do you mean they didn’t even mention the Affair of the Diamond Necklace, the literal scandal that sparked the insurrection?

The saddest thing is that all the elements to make a good and entertaining movie were there, but instead, all those plot points were thrown into an overload of unnecessary musical montages…

1991 was a great year in cinema for "Keanu reeves and his blond boyfriend"

FANTASIA (1940)

I’m already addicted to my Kindle but if I had this in my possession as a child I would have been insufferable.

As far as I can remember, I’ve always loved reading, but sometimes I felt like I was confined in my readings and couldn’t really “upgrade” them.

I mostly read old family books, and when I roamed freely in a library, I wasn’t inclined to choose titles that really stuck with me, mostly because they hadn’t been recommended to me.

My family isn’t familiar with literature, so reading is already impressive to them, and school didn’t really help in that regard either. So I lacked access to certain books that I’m sure would’ve been so important, not just for my education, but also in shaping my critical thinking.

I’m not saying that this kind of game would’ve solved those issues, since they’re also tied to broader societal concerns, but I still find the concept of a pre-filled and supposedly “accessible” library pretty interesting.
