#this entire scene is a fucking masterpiece  #the building tension in Barbossa’s cabin  #the strings in the score rising ominously  #and then the entire movie turns on a /dime/  #‘oh okay’  #I remember thinking  #‘fucking GHOST PIRATES’  #it drops from historical swashbuckler to fantasy swashbuckler in one set piece  #in which the rules for how the crew work are given to you purely in visuals  #and you get to see that sharp difference between horror-horror and fun horror  #because this scene genuinely terrifies Elizabeth  #and delights /you/  #instead of being awful for both of you  #god
it’s just so neatly done and raises the stakes for the film and puts
everything into context and adds depth to the characters  #and comes as a complete surprise  #this is all the things you want in a set piece  #we should all aspire to storytelling so economical  #(incidentally so should THE SEQUELS  #christ)  (via wizzard890)

“Inspired by Bollywood movie Mughal-e-Azam’s Jab Pyar Kiya to Darna Kya set, Sanjay Leela Bhansali recreated that Aaina Mahal for Bajirao Mastani to also recreate that magic back again. More than 20,000 mirrors were used to make that palace an Aaina Mahal.

There is one angel that reflects in all 20,000 mirrors which makes a jaw-dropping view. After Mughal-e-Azam, this Aaina Mahal holds place of the most expensive set in history till date. There is one shot in Deewani Mastani where Deepika Padukone is highlighted into all those mirrors.”

Endless list of favourite female characters: Éowyn (The Lord of the Rings)

Grave and thoughtful was her glance, as she looked on the king with cool pity in here eyes. Very fair was her face, and her long hair was like a river of gold. Slender and tall she was in her white robe girt with silver; but strong she seemed and stern as steel, a daughter of kings. ― Book 3, Chapter VI: The King of the Golden Hall, The Two Towers.
