100 Years of Movie Musicals: Black Orpheus (1959)
Next year marks the 100th anniversary of the movie musical, and to celebrate I’m embarking on a two-year project to watch 100 movie musicals from 1927 to the present!
Title: Black Orpheus
Release Date: June 12, 1959
Director: Marcel Camus
Production Company: Dispat Films (France) | Gemma (Italy) | Tupan Filmes (Brazil)
Main Cast:- Breno Mello as Orfeu
- Marpessa Dawn as Eurydice
- Marcel Camus as Ernesto
- Fausto Guerzoni as Fausto
- Lourdes de Oliveira as Mira
- Léa Garcia as Serafina
- Adhemar da Silva as Death
- Alexandro Constantino as Hermes
- Waldemar De Souza as Chico
- Jorge Dos Santos as Benedito
- Aurino Cassiano as Zeca
Synopsis (via Letterboxd):
Young lovers Orfeu and Eurydice run through the favelas of Rio during Carnaval, on the lam from a hitman dressed like Death and Orfeu’s vengeful fiancée Mira and passing between moments of fantasy and stark reality. This impressionistic retelling of the Greek legend of Orpheus and Eurydice introduced bossa nova to the world with its soundtrack by young Brazilian composers Luiz Bonfá and Antonio Carlos Jobim.
My Thoughts:
“Nouvelle vague” and “bossa nova” both translate as “new wave.” In this film, French New Wave director incorporates Brazil’s new wave of music and dance into almost every scene. Black Orpheus sets the ancient Greek myth in the favelas of Rio de Janeiro during Carnaval. The film is colorful, beautifully filmed, and is more impressionistic than narrative. Critics of the film note that the film glamorizes the life of poor Afro-Brazilians, and they’re right to do so, although it’s also clearly intended to be a fantasy.
Rating: ***1/2

The Lotus Tea
Catherine Liu took the stage in London on September 21 to talk about trauma. She was there for Traumatized: The New Politics of Public Suffering, new from Verso. The book argues that trauma has been commodified into a politics of permanent victimhood, and that its loudest merchants trade in something other than the true suffering of people. Midway through the conversation with Ash Sarkar on Novara Media's Downstream, Liu, a cultural critic and professor of film and media studies at UC Irvine, swerved into Christopher Nolan's The Odyssey. She apologized for the tangent, and her interviewer told her to keep going. "What a phenomenal tangent that was," she said when she surfaced. […] -

Prometheus, Fire, and Artificial Intelligence
Prometheus gave humanity fire, a gift of knowledge and possibility that could create or destroy. Artificial intelligence raises a similar question: as our power grows, are we also developing the wisdom to use it well? -

From the Greek Titans to biblical giants, enormous humanlike beings appear in traditions across the ancient world. Different cultures told remarkably powerful stories about them—but were these independent myths, shared storytelling traditions, or memories transformed over generations?

THE ODYSSEY — THE LONG WAY HOME
Penelope once tells Odysseus, “Stay with me.” But Odysseus chooses war. He leaves the woman he loves, his home, and the life that might have been his, believing that glory, duty, and victory are worth the price.Then comes Troy.Odysseus wins the war not through strength, but through his mind. The Trojan Horse becomes the symbol of his greatest triumph: a victory born from deception, patience, and cunning.But every victory has a shadow.The horse that opens the gates of Troy also opens the […]https://liveterra.wordpress.com/2026/09/28/the-odyssey-the-long-way-home/

Alexander the Great didn’t just admire legendary heroes—he modeled himself on them. From Achilles to Heracles, mythology helped shape his identity, his ambitions, and the image he created as he conquered an empire.

this week's episode was FILLED with bad dads & bad brothers, including:
King Lycaon, who tried to feed his son (who he murdered) to Zeus (and, ofc, any mention of Zeus brings forward his dad Cronus, who was out here eating his children whole)
King Amulius, who ordered his two sons abandoned in the woods to die
Romulus, who killed his brother Remus over city-founding shenanigans
If that doesn't inspire you to listen to this week's pod ( https://starrytimepodcast.podbean.com/e/lupus-myths-and-reconstellations/), surely nothing would 😂 !

"I see you. I see all those who men call monsters.
And I see the men who call them that. Call themselves heroes, of course.
I only see them for an instant. Then they're gone.
But it's enough. Enough to know that the hero isn't the one who's kind or brave or loyal. Sometimes - not always, but sometimes - he is monstrous."- from Stone Blind: Medusa's Story by #NatalieHaynes (2022)
