You’re doing great my Kevin, proud of you always ♡
As for me I’m doing great~ I felt like watching an animated movie and landed my eyes on Anastasia ♡
One of my all time fav movie, she’s not in the Disney family but I’d really put her as one of my favorite princesses out there, the story is so captivating and singular, pure gold
I was so shocked to learn it was based on a true story, mind you a horrific one on top of that, I know I’m gonna feel bad at the end of this letter but let’s talk about it
The Romanov royal family really existed, reigned in Russia for close to 300years, Nicholas II, Anastasia’s father, being the last one in the lineage
In the movie everything takes place during the Revolution, Rasputin, previous advisor of the royal family exiled for betrayal comes back after selling his soul to the devil (this part got me stressed out as a kid lol) in order to end the lineage and so to kill every single Romanov
Anastasia and her grandmother manage to escape but ultimately end up separated,, the whole movie is about the mystery around Anastasia’s presumed death, rushing rumors about her possible survival
She survived but doesn’t remember a thing about her past, now we all know how this romanticized story goes, Dimitri lovely guy saving her life, my childhood crush lmao
Now when I heard about it being inspired by a true story I was like fine they just took a rich family and made a story out of them but man, even Rasputin was real
So to sum it up, the actual Russian Revolution began during World War 1 due to Nicholas II’s (Anastasia’s father and king of Russia) poor management of the army personally led by him
I’ve seen historians claiming he was basically considered politically unschooled, being the reason of millions of deaths leading to Russia’s social, agricultural and economical crisis
As for Rasputin, he really was their advisor, extremely close to the royal family and allegedly influenced them in their political decisions
That being said, that’s what caused him his death, not exiled like shown in the movie but directly killed by nobles in 1917
Nicholas II eventually ended up abdicating the throne, leaving him and the rest of his family captured and locked in by the Bolcheviks after they seized power
Fast forward the entire Romanov family was said killed in their cell, their graves were found 60y later but the number of bodies found didn’t match with the Romanovs, they were 7, but only 5 bodies were found, dna tests proved it was them, the two missing bodies being the only son of the family and one of the sisters, presumably Anastasia
and here we go with the rushing rumors of their possible survival, people claiming they were Anastasia, notably a woman called Anna Anderson,, I’ve seen people saying she knew things that were very specific to someone who has resided in the Palace, details that weren’t heard of which ultimately can’t paint her as a liar but more as someone dealing with identity issues
All of those rumors were dismantled when Anna Anderson has shown no relations to the family through dna tests in the 90s and the 2 remaining bodies were found later on as well
Mortifying story, I honestly felt so disturbed when I learned about that, there’s still so many details to it and facts that have been refuted here and there but god it got me at a loss of words
Fun fact about the OST Once Upon a December / Loin du froid de décembre in French,, I was listening to the French ver earlier, was going through the comments and stumbled upon that one comment that said that the lyrics of the English version were very spot on, the song is all about Anastasia describing what she remembers about her past, she is basically enumerating it all as if she kinda recalled what she once lived but her character is still supposed to be amnesiac,, in the French version they took the “amnesia” aspect a bit more seriously, changing the lyrics in order to make it more like she has images popping up in her dreams here and there without making it about actual memories
Oh and the music box was real too🥹
Anywayyys, I think I have something with old works, most of the things I used to watch as a kid were old enough for my mom to watch them as a kid herself, inspired by real events,, yk what I love the most? The old sounds in voices, idk how to explain it, the sounds and tones are different, 1st obviously because of the equipments they had but also thanks to how they used to enunciate and overstress words when speaking
Just like Edith Piaf, no one talks like that lmao but god that’s so pleasing to hear
Anastasia, Princess Sarah, Candy Candy, Tom Sawyer, Little Women (my all time fave🥹), there’s so manyy good ones
I’ve seen that there was an adaptation of Little Women with Timothée Chalamet, gotta watch it, it has been a while but laziness took over me lmao
Anywayys I’ll go for now, talked too much😭
I’ll leave you with a French movie rec, the main character is a very well known French actor and comedian, he’s honestly the best and I remember watching this movie at the theaters, laughing just as much as I cried my life out, great balance between funny and emotional but make the emotional hurt lmao ripped my hair out
About a father/daughter relationship🫠 it takes place in London so they speak lots of eng too~ makes it even funnier😭
It’s Two is a Family / Demain tout commence ♡
I’ll really go now, take care, stay safe and rest well my Kevin~ always so beyond grateful for your work, love you always ♡
,Je t’aime du plus profond de mon cœur🫶🏻
,,Lots of love, Sarah ♡
