Pinch Hit #3 Details
Fandom: 陈情令 | The Untamed (TV)
Characters & Relationships: Relationships: Wei Wuxian/Lan Wangji, Wei Wuxian/happiness, various juniors combinations. Characters: Basically all of them except the evil Wens and Jin Guangshan. I find the Xue Yang and Jin Guangyao most interested when contrasted with other characters rather than as focus characters themselves.
Details:
I am very into this show, the novel it's based on, and the author's other works right now. This has identity porn, worms feelings, and oodles of beautiful scenery and costumes. It has characters who try to do what's right even when it's hard, and who sometimes (often) suffer for it. Prompts: Generational trauma; absolute loyalty; beautiful things; the complexity of doing the right thing; identity.
Fandom: Captain Marvel (2019)
Characters & Relationships: Carol/flying, Carol/Maria, Carol/Nick
Details:
This movie was so great. I loved Carol's struggle to regain her memories and through them her sense of self. I loved how joyfully she embraced her powers. I love how 90s it is. I love all of the cat jokes. Prompts: Flight; identity; kicking ass.
Fandom: Ever After (1998)
Characters & Relationships: Danielle, Rodmilla
Details:
I have been deeply into this movie since I first saw the trailers as a wee corbae. I own it on VHS; I only own like 5 movies on VHS so this is a huge deal. The costumes are lovely, that scene where she pelts the prince with apples is iconic, Anjelica Huston is amazing as the wicked stepmother. Prompts: Women fighting for their place; identity; fairy tales.
Fandom: Rocketman (2019)
Characters & Relationships: Elton John/happiness, Elton John/music, Elton John/John Reid (angry/sad/toxic relationship songs), Elton John/Bernie Taupin
Details:
The way the fantastical elements were woven into the story were *chef's kiss* sublime. I was raised on Elton John so obviously I was predisposed to like this movie; however, the film's portrayal of his journey to accept himself and his complex relationships with various friends and family members exceeded my expectations. The glitz of the stage costumes as a distraction and his gradual removal of those trappings in the group therapy session was great. The choreography was lovely. Prompts: Creative force as a means to escape; families, found and otherwise; creation generally; addiction and fighting free of it; toxic relationships.
Fandom: The Shape of Water (2017)
Characters & Relationships: Elisa/monster, Monster/Elisa/music, Elisa/dancing
Details:
The evils of the American military-industrial complex, and other military-industrial complexes! Fucking a swamp monster! What is not to love here, honestly. This film is gorgeous. Prompts: Dance and music; rebellion; sexy swamp monsters.
