Hello!
I am very new to this site, but I would like to offer free tarot readings! I made this blog after I went through a traumatic period in my life and discovered I am quite clairvoyant! I have given readings to my family and friends, but now I want to branch out! Since I am new, I want to offer free tarot readings until I establish some credibility in the community! If you would be interested in receiving a private reading, please feel free to message! If that isn’t your thing or you aren’t interested, consider sharing this with a friend who might! I really want to practice my craft so I can help more people along in this crazy reality we call life.
I primarily use druid and wiccan themed tarot decks, as well as dragon oracle cards. I additionally use charms and picture cubes in my readings too, which I think give them a unique twist! c:
((Obviously I can give more personal details about myself when you message, I just fear the internet sometimes))
Even if you don’t want a reading, HaVe a GOoD aSS DaY!
OMFG I never imagined that I was going to find something like this here!!!!!!! I'm so fucking excited about this!!!!!!! I think this is a very good review of the movies, congratulations!!!!!!!
i hope posting a whole series is allowed, because i saw all three in one sitting, and i really wanna talk about all three of them.
the trilogy was directed by Krzysztof Kieślowksi (RIP), loosely using the three main ideas of the french revolution (liberty, equality, and fraternity or togetherness), and each color represented in each movie corresponds to the colors on a french flag.
three colors: blue, as melancholy as its name suggests, tells a story of a grieving woman as her husband, renowned european composer, and her daughter had both died in a car accident. throughout the film we see her try to find liberty from the deaths, first she tries an unsuccessful suicide, then she tries to destroy all traces of her old life, even destroying an unfinished piece of music from her husband, and moving to a different city. the unfinished piece of music haunts her, however, and by the end she gives in and finishes the piece with her new love, her husband’s former assistant, signaling her liberty from grief finally. apart from the music, there are several instances of her denying the past, as to not confront the sadness of grieving, and as she meets more people with connections to the accident and her husband, she slowly embraces her situation, and through doing good deeds for them, she was able to let go.
personally, i think blue might be my favorite of the trilogy, the story of grief is most personable and relatable for me. the soft and elegant cinematography only elevates how delicate this story is. one of the most memorable shots for me was the extreme close up of julie’s face as she watches their funeral, and how it slowly tilts down to her quivering lips. might be my favorite shot out of the trilogy.
three colors: white is the “easiest” story to digest out of the three, following the theme of “equality”. it tells a story of a divorced polish immigrant who got fucked over by his french ex-wife. after being smuggled back to poland, he develops a revenge plan to get back at his wife. given how unrealistic and faster place this movie was, it made for the most entertaining movie of the trilogy. the juxtaposition of how pitiful the protagonist was at the beginning to the slow reveal of his true character was great. although my flaw with this movie was how underdeveloped the wife’s character was, because during the entirety she was shown to only care about sex instead of love, but the ending shows that she was willing to forgive him for framing her and getting her thrown in jail, even wanting them to get back together. apart from the dark humor and entertaining story the ridiculous amount of charisma from the lead was great to watch.
three colors: red is universally known to be the best of the trilogy, and i could understand why. following the theme of togetherness, its a story of a part-time model who befriends a retired judge who has been doing some shady stuff. valentine is one of my favorite characters, possibly in all of cinema. her kindheartedness and inability to be judgmental while also being a very complex character was refreshing to see in a trilogy that is so heavily themed. the movie isn’t just the most visually stunning movie of the trilogy, its also the most technically amazing one, with its use of precise crane shots. the ending also provides a perfect closure the the entire trilogy and emphasizes the themes of togetherness even more.
