when they did chess in concert again in 2008 his age is fine to me (though he’s still very young, it helps that idina menzel looks about the same age as him) but here he looks so out of place. especially next to adam pascal and julia murney who almost look like they could be playing his parents (but that’s probably in part due to the grainy quality lmao)

there’s a lot of blatant misogyny in the epilogue, but then there’s also subtle things like natasha’s new dynamics with her family. she interacts with few people outside of the household at all anymore, but she’s really only friends with marya (seemingly because they’re both mothers), her friendship with nikolai has almost completely deteriorated (as if they can’t relate on any level anymore), and we barely see her interact with sonya. it’s unsettling to me to say the least.
i have a tendency to spoil things for myself because i’m too eager so i’m challenging myself to read crime and punishment without spoiling it for myself and it’s so hard but it also has made me much more motivated to read so maybe there’s some virtues to this

my most unpopular take on war and peace is that i dislike andrei. it’s not that i don’t understand him, he’s definitely an interesting character, but i’ve never been able to get over how he treated lise.
THEY SLAY (saw Sweeney Todd on broadway a few weeks ago <3)
