Eu fiz essas ilustrações durante o Dia dos Namorados de 2022, eu amo demais esse projeto! "Uma moça inteligente e determinada, que para salvar seu pai de uma dívida, vai trabalhar na mansão de um jovem veterano da Segunda Guerra, recluso e amargurado pelas cicatrizes em seu rosto devido ao campo de batalha." >>> I made these during brazilian's Valentine's Day 2022, and I love it so much! "An intelligent and determined lady, to save her father from a debt, decides to work on a manor of a young, World War II vet, recluse and bitter due to the scars in his face caused by the battlefield."
i’m a simple girl i see a man with big arms and a kind heart and i get a little stupid
Since ur watching Chris movies.. have u by any chance watched the nanny diaries? Bc that movie always makes me melt🥺
yes i have watched it and it's such a lovely movie!! it’s one of the only cevans movie directed by a woman and like?? you can tell??
i’ve seen some discussions on tiktok about how shots catering to the true “female gaze” have nothing to do with shirtlessness and obscene muscles (basically the very sexual male gaze but with the roles reversed), but it has to do with EYES and HANDS
and JESUS CHRIST... look at this shot... the romantic lighting... the soft eye contact... the love in his gaze... i’m literally a puddle
i feel like so many of chris’ roles necessitate (or at worst, reduce him to) his physique ((which we all know is GLORIOUS 👌 right, like not denying that at all))
but god. the harvard hottie in the nanny diaries. unparalleled charm and romanticism. funny and cute and humble and good with kids and EMOTIONALLY VULNERABLE AND I’M NOT OKAY
People forget that in the Disney fairy tale films, wishes and dreams represented hope: specifically, hope for a better future when current times were tough. The movies were made for people who lived through the Great Depression and Second World War. Snow White and Cinderella were survivors of abuse who wanted to be loved, Pinocchio wanted to become and be recognized as a real person, Bambi and Dumbo lost their mothers and had to find their own ways in the world. But these characters all held onto hope via their wishes and dreams.
So it feels a little demoralizing when modern Disney films try to deconstruct "wishes and dreams" as passive acts. They're trying to tell people to pick themselves up by the bootstraps, because nothing's gonna change unless you change something. Which is true, I guess.
But deconstructing wishes and dreams feels a bit like deconstructing hope itself. And maybe I'm reaching with that connection, but it doesn't sit right with me.
today my anthro professor said something kindof really beautiful:
“you all have a little bit of ‘I want to save the world’ in you, that’s why you’re here, in college. I want you to know that it’s okay if you only save one person, and it’s okay if that person is you”
