Cocos Feel-Good Oppression @eliquorice

eliquorice What are the systems in Coco's World of the Dead? What does Coco's story say about those systems? And what are the circumstances that lead me to only say the name "Miguel" twice in a 40 min video about Coco? All these questions and more will be answered in this overly-long, overly-personal exploration of the systems in Coco and their equivalent in the real-world.

A big thank you to my sister for her help on some of the graphics. Everything that looks shockingly professional was her doing and everything that looks laughably amateurish was my doing.

Ocean Waves - Studio Ghiblis (Accidental) Queer Film

eliquorice 2020-03-22 | I'm pretty freaking sure that Ocean Waves was telling a story it had no intention in telling.

I could be wrong, but I'm pretty sure I'm not.

Look...just believe me, ok?!

Brave was a Disappointment

eliquorice 2020-02-10 | In which I talk about Brave for far too long, covering basically everything you can cover about the film: from analyzing the dynamic between its main characters and breaking down its dual plots to discussing its production problems and the firing of its original director, Brenda Chapman.

I tell some jokes along the way, I guess.
