Black Swan + "Kick-ass" Girls + Starry Sky #10
Soo, yesterday I ditched the Carnival Party, and went to watch Black Swan with my cousing, instead.
IT WAS AWESOME. Beautiful beyond imagination, sad, twisted and weird∼ It was a very feminine movie! Despite telling the story about a psycho girl with a personality disorder I found it quite-- I don't know, "realistic"? Easy to relate to..? Just lovely.
I also loved how the ballet story merged with Nina's life, as to suggest that fiction, expecially the fiction that is a milestone in literature and culture, always sprouts from what reality offers.
The sequence where Nina got her "wings" while dancing as Odile was STUNNING. It's just one of the most beautiful, yet disturbing (with all the weird bird sounds and goosebumps effect XD), scenes ever ♥ --OMG, I'M IN LOVE FOR EVER.
After the movie we went to one of those "all you can eat" Japanese restaurant. It was a nice place, also if according to critics their rice is not pressed the right way XD I had the first onigiri of my life! And tendon and seafood yakisoba among other things ^o^ I also had a cute fruit pudding! Awww XD --My cousing said that how Nina transformed into a swan, I was about to transform into a pudding D: I spit out a bit of it while laughing at the idea of making "puri-puri" pudding sounds, LOL XD
--Time ago amelia_seyroon made a post complaining about people being unsatisfied by the lack of proper "kick-ass" girls in anime, following with a list of fighting girls.
I personally think that Western female audience is a bit biased over the concept of "kicking ass".
They usually figure the characteristics of a typical shounen hero and pretend to paste the whole stereotype on a vagina-equipped character.
Sorry if I will hurt your feminist ideas with this, but women are NOTHING like men. They are not as strong, they have the handicap of menstruations/gravidance and they are frailer, psychologically speaking.
They are also more mature, though, more sensitive, and generally more responsible, but we're also WAY MEANER than men.
I'm quite the tomboy, nothing like a proper woman, but for how much combative and caustic I may be, I don't think that I could ever jump into an enemy hiding spot and punch the whole army out as Goku from Dragonball would. And I don't also feel the need to see a female character doing that for some twisted "par condicio" reason.
I don't understand what's wrong with girls acting like girls, also when they do things that I wouldn't personally do.
I don't also understand what's wrong with people dissing Naruto's female cast because they fall in love, the most of them re med-nins and apparently they can't walk on the streets when being pregnant.
I think that people hating on female characters 'cause they are females is pretty idiotic, but hating on female characters 'cause they don't do the same things that males do or because they don't get enough relevance as the male protagonist does is PRETTY RETARDED.
--Just how repressed and inferiority-complexed are you, to feel like this towards a fucking 2D character?
It'd better if you quit with anime and go watch Xena :/
Also, I watched Starry Sky #10... All in all it was a nice episode.
Tsukiko shifts from uber-mature little speeches dispenser to frail girl who wants to keep up with her male friends but can't (speaking of "kick ass female characters", uh?), getting emo over it.
Fortunately there's Homare. HOMARE, I WANNA MARRY YOU ;__;
Next time, it's Iku (Gemini) time :D I read terrible things about him, but I kinda like him-- His character design reminds me of Seimei (Loveless) with glasses-- OH, WHY AM I SO WEAK AGAINST THE MEGANE TYPES ;_;
