Plus, hey, like most of Whedon’s other projects, the film’s full of sexy people.
It’s his mantra, in fact, at, shall we say, a stressful time. This entry’s title is one of his key lines. In a very heterosexual-but-still-appreciative way, I’m in love with Alan Tudyk’s character Wash. “I’m gonna show you a world without sin…” I’m liking the film better as I write about it more. He’s knocked me out before (especially with the Buffy episode “The Body”) parts of Serenity knocked me out, too. Compare what kid-River says at school to what Mal says to the Operative at the climax.) Yes, there’s a LOT going on, and kudos to writer-director Joss Whedon for pulling off the feat. (Just the film’s first nine minutes give you hundreds of years of history, a glimpse into the dreams and memories of a psychic – and possibly psychotic – main character, a neat fight/escape, and a glimpse of the film’s philosophy – which you don’t really realize is its philosophy until much later. I love how the film takes unexpected twists and turns from the opening sequence onward, playing tricks with both the visuals and the soundtrack that would seem almost experimental if they weren’t effective.
#WASH LEAF ON THE WIND MOVIE#
I’m not (as we geeks say) “having a geekgasm” over it – the movie didn’t truly grab me until its second half, when the drama really kicks in and the stakes for the heroes become huge – but there’s a lot to impress. I was an utter newbie, never having seen the original show Firefly, but went to Serenity on the vociferous advice of many people I trust. Who knows, I might need to call on you in the future to help me collect research material.Chris_walshNicely done, Serenity I saw the film on Friday night, after I realized I hadn’t been to a movie since the end of August. Edith: Still, take this as recompense for your efforts. It is fully possible that the "wind" in them could dissipate all too quickly. Edith: Still, I don't have any method of preserving these leaves. This is a very precious resource, and I will use it as such. If I only had a Vision, then I wouldn't have had to waste this much time. Edith: To think that this tree really had this power. Edith: When held in your hand, these leaves do indeed allow you to feel the "wind." Dr. Edith: Have you found anything? Got a few leaves here.
Edith: Ah, I went off on a tangent again.
Is there really any research on this continent that could uncover their secrets? To a researcher, the ability to use a Vision or the lack thereof really is. Edith: And most importantly, you can control the elements even without the use of a Vision. Edith: You have a great deal of adventuring experience, and great stamina. Edith: I have to say that someone like you is definitely better suited to doing research. If you find anything, just bring it down to me. Edith: I'll be waiting for you under the tree. Edith: I reckon that you just need to follow the trail of the "wind" and search that way. Edith: You can see the elements, yes? Dr. Edith: Could you help me climb up this tree and have a look? I'll do it.ĭr. Edith: If you could help me to grab some objects imbued with Anemo, that would really help me with my research. Edith: I've also heard that you can use the elements even without a Vision. Edith: I don't have a Vision, but I won't lose in terms of scholarship. Edith: Sorry, I said too much, and while I did say all this, I won't give up on my research. Edith: Hahaha, maybe in the eyes of the gods, Vision wielders are the main characters of this world. Whether in research or in life, those without them live like outsiders in their own world. Edith: One cannot use the power of the elements without a Vision. Edith: That's the life of a person without a Vision on this continent - to do much, and yet achieve little. Most of my material is synthesized from second-hand resources as well. Edith: And this so-called search for inspiration? Why, I'm just staring into space here. show Firefly, the pilot of the ship, Wash, is making a particularly difficult landing and as he’s coming down, he’s muttering and smiling: I am a leaf on the wind, watch as I soar It’s stressful and dangerous and this silly pilot is imagining himself a leaf on the wind, floating. Edith: Yet - and I know this might sound funny - looking for and gathering the winds without a Vision, which I lack, is too difficult. Edith: If you think about it, this place is the ideal spot - there's a Statue of The Seven that represents Anemo, and a tree that's closely linked to the great hero Vennessa. Edith: I mean to write a new book about Mondstadt's history that focuses on the "wind," and I'm looking for inspiration here. Edith: What a shame, I can't use this material either.
