The Piglet lived in a very grand house in the middle of a beech-tree, and the beech-tree was in the middle of the forest, and the Piglet lived in the middle of the house.

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. The human eye and mind are unable to distinguish the foreground from the background, making the pattern hypnotic and visually confusing.  There is even an evolutionary theory that zebras wear stripes to confuse predators...

Inception's Spinning Top Explains Christopher Nolan's Entire Career - CBR - Comic Book Resources

There’s nothing quite like the final moments of a film, that culmination of everything an audience has witnessed alone in the dark, investing in this fictional world. And while most films don’t end with such a powerful flourish, when they do, that aura can remain well past the ending credits, such as Se7en’s "What’s in the box?" scene, the mind-warping finale to 2001: A Space Odyssey or the long shot on the bus at the end of The Graduate. Among all these films, 2010’s Inception stands out wit...

Found footage at the receding of the world

Of the various developments following the recent and ongoing reassessments of Stanley Cavell’s writing on film, one of the most important has been some scholars’ proposal of a greater rapprochement between Cavell’s thought and experimental or non-narrative cinema. Increasingly such scholars are recognizing that despite Cavell’s seeming disavowal of experimental film, the implications his writing bears for it are substantial.11 So far, however, there has been no explicit accounting of Cavell’s...

Why the Color Red Carries so Much Weight in Film and Literature

Not long into Act Two of Macbeth, husband and wife become obsessed with color. Lady Macbeth, who examines her hands with the tireless diligence of an obsessive-compulsive, is seen scrubbing away for up to 15 minutes at a time. Her husband is less convinced by the merits of washing. "No," he laments, "my hand will rather the multitudinous seas in incarnadine, making the green one red." This stubborn and potentially oceanic stain is, of course, blood, which originally belonged to the King of Fi...
