Loosely dark academia

Levi said We stan a female leading role and positive queer, trans, and poc representation in a historical setting

Levi said Reminds me a little of the painting Oath of the Horatii. In Oath, 3 brothers swear to fight 3 brothers of opposing forces, in the corner a young woman weeps. She is the sister of the Horatii brothers, and is betrothed to one of the opposing brothers. She knows that no matter the outcome of the fight she will lose someone she loves. While the stories dont line up perfectly and I wont spoil the movie with it, the main charcater vera deals with the pain of 3 men she's close to fighting in the war

Levi said Incredibly beautiful, I didnt know such a feat of animation was possible. Compelling story on top of it all in the classic style.

Levi said Mostly on this list cause of the set design but also you've gotta love a classic whodunnit about a rich old man author

Levi said Do I debate putting every period piece I see on this list? Yes. I have a weakness. But I truly believe this deserves a place here as each of the sisters in the movie are pursuing their own art, distinctive personalities, and passion for learning.
