The Sound of Magic Ending Explained

Adapted from a webtoon called Annarasumanara, Netflix’s latest Korean-language release, The Sound of Magic, is a quick watch at only six episodes—much shorter than most K-drama fare. For that runtime, the drama bites off a bit more than it can chew in terms of storyline, which makes the final episode action-packed with plot points, including reveals concerning magician Ri-eul’s past and the identity of Seo Ha-yoon’s murderer. The ending also must wrap up Ah-yi and Il-deung’s respective storie...

Gold, Money, 666 and The Mark of the Beast

Gold, Money and The Mark of the Beast 666 One of the most convincing characteristics that suggests that the Mark of the Beast is a physical object is its requirement to buy and sell. In contrast, it's very difficult to imagine how a spiritual symbol could be used for such purposes. There's an important verse in the Old Testament that supports the Mark of the Beast's close connection to money and 666. Now the weight of gold that came to Solomon in one year was six hundred threescore and ...

What Do Stripes Have to Say About Your Character?

From the rebels to the outcasts to the villainous schemers, stripes have a lot to say about your characters.  Stripes are one of the most noticeable patterns in existence, standing out because of their immediate and repetitive change from one color to another.

Rabbit Academy review – Easter-timed animation gets its eggs all scrambled

Possessed of a truly eggsecrable subtitle – Mission Eggpossible – this Easter-themed German animation probably supplies just enough frantic hi-jinks to keep small children mildly absorbed over the holidays. But its scatty plot, about a group of master rabbits responsible for distributing Easter eggs and the jealous foxes who wish to supplant them, was seemingly cooked up by someone slipping into a chocolate-induced coma. Its difficulties are evident as Ute von Münchow-Pohl’s film can bar...

Matrix - The - as a transgender allegory

Flinging 21st-century action films into total chaos, the 1999 science fiction film The Matrix suggested a new era for the genre of gun-slinging, action hero cinema with a brand new way of approaching filmmaking from both a narrative and technological level. Though, perhaps more than its legacy as an action film, The Matrix should be more widely recognised for its confirmed transgender allegory.  When The Matrix was released in 1999, sisters Lana and Lilly Wachowski publicly identified as...
