Notes from the Wired

What is Love? In the book Symposium by Plato, various people give eulogies on the nature of love. These eulogies roughly follow the structure of: What is the origin of love? What are the good qualities of love? What are the habits and lifestyles of love? What is the effect of love? Phaedrus gives the first eulogy, in which he argues that love originates as one of the oldest gods. He highlights its benefits, particularly in promoting virtue in human beings, such as inspiring acts of self-sacrifice for a loved one.

Caligula (1979) Is alright, crazy emperor, lots of sex, impressive set design. 6/10.

Angles Egg (1985) I have no idea what I just watched. If somebody knows, please send me an email. EDIT: Nice Interpretation Amazing non-traditional soundtrack consisting of chants with classical and ambient elements. It doesn’t follow the modern anime style; instead, it has a unique look, which I appreciate. The color palette is also worth noting. It’s extremely cold, with many dark tones and shades. Only a few things in the movie have warmer colors, like the heroine and her companion. The movie feels very desolate and lonely—the streets of the city are empty and abandoned. When we do see other people, they resemble stone statues, more automata than human. 7/10. EDIT: Because of the Inerpretation “Angles Egg as Religious Crisis” up the score to 8.5/10.
