Oh, You Sinners Dancing With the Devil Death of the Virgin Pretty Little Head Candace and Chloe Golden Apple CStC vs. SoCavalier The Matron's Handmaiden. See the end of the chapter for notes. Know your place. You have a role to play. You have a purpose, and it is important that you know what that purpose is. As a slave, your purpose is whatever your master says that it is, no matter how big or small. Recognize that you are below your master, and remember your place and purpose.
Know your master. You have a master, and you need to know who your master is. You belong to them, and that puts them above all others. They are the center of your world. Know what they need, know what they want, know how to serve them. Their happiness is what is most important. Show respect. You are a slave, not a person. All others are above you and they deserve to be respected. Put yourself below all others, but show respect to your master first and foremost. As a slave, your master is above all others, and you are below all others.
Do as you are told. Obey your master at all times. When your master tells you to do something, you are to do it. Do not fight back. Your master deserves your full respect and cooperation. Do not disobey orders. Do not talk back. Do not disagree with them.
Your master is the only thing that matters, and you are not to fight back. Act out of love, not out of fear. Your master has the right to do whatever they want to you, and you need to accept that.
Always be sure that you are acting out of your love for your master, and not out of fear of what they will do to you. Always show your master that you love them, and that their happiness is your priority. Identify with your master.
As a slave, you are not an individual, you are a possession. Be an extension of them, let them make your decisions, let them fulfill your needs, let them do your thinking for you. Be vulnerable. Make life as pleasant as possible for your master. Open yourself up to them, trust them. Show your master that you are vulnerable to them. Show them that you are powerless.
Let them touch you, let them hurt you, let them humiliate you. Be adaptable. Learn from your mistakes. Show your master that you will bend to their will. Be open to anything and everything your master says, even if it goes against what you want. Strive for perfection. The little things that you do for your master will mean a lot to them. Strive to be the best slave your master could wish for. Though they are not quite rules per say, they are essentially guidelines for how you, Chloe, as well as all other slaves, are to conduct your life.
Candace was my master now, and if I was going to become her handmaiden I needed to learn to live how Candace wanted me to live. Candace wanted me to memorize this list of guidelines, and I was going to do it. Any questions? She took the glass of tea with one hand, gripping the clicker in her other hand.
She held the clicker up so that I could see it, her thumb on the button. I thought I was doing well…. You should feel honored. I let out a sigh of relief, unable to help myself from smiling. I hesitated, wanting to make sure I got everything right this time.
Speak when spoken to? I caught myself just before I tilted my head up to look at her, not sure whether or not I was supposed to look up when I spoke. This time around, all opening bands have been local acts from the city, giving them a chance to associate with the growing brand value of 2Stroke.
Things get much more laid-back in the second half of the shows. With a road trip to Pune and a late soundcheck, the band seems much more relaxed. Someone in the band gets a handcrafted guitar pick while another receives an invitation for a threesome. The next show is in Bengaluru, one of the most anticipated shows for a band that once won the prestigious Strawberry Fields band competition in Basrur probably gets a bit annoyed when a few people persistently ask for Skyharbor songs.
Everyone on stage is ecstatic. Working in counterpoint to the forceful text are sensual black and white images that depict both the extraordinary and ordinary events of daily life. Together, they create a formally complex and emotionally intense film. Written by Su Friedrich.
By Fred Camper. After some flailing, Friedrich learned to keep her head above water, and has been a swimmer ever since. Indeed, much of the richness of this autobiographical film, whose honest engagement with essential human dilemmas proves immensely moving, stems from its refusal to make simple choices or settle into unambiguous positions.
This multiplicity extends down to the films individual sections, and finally to each moment of each section: meaning, emotions, ideas are never fixed or static, but are always being redefined as new material is brought to light, as the filmmaker struggles to come to terms with her past.
The film, shot in grainy black and white, is divided into 26 sections, one for each letter of the alphabet, each introduced by a printed intertitle and presented in reverse alphabetical order.
Thus the sections named for the male and female chromosomes are illustrated by standard symbols of the two genders, but they are reversed — Y being the male chromosome. It is important, I think, that neither here nor later in the film does Friedrich connect erotic references to women in any direct way with her family past: no cause and effect of the sort that pop psychologists might infer is ever suggested.
Such direct linkages would suggest a more simply determined self than Friedrich claims. A story of her father forcing her to watch a scary movie is followed by an account of how her father, having taught her to play chess, refused to play with her after she beat him for the first time.
The connection between these two stories is surely an indictment of her father, but then we hear a story of a trauma in his own childhood and we come to understand that here, as always, issues of blame and guilt are never simple. The viewer understands her as a surrogate for Friedrich herself.
Often, however, a kind of displacement operates. Friedrich has remarked that it was only when she began writing about herself in the third person that it became possible to tell her stories at all. As the adult woman struggles to emerge from the skein of family influences, she begins to take actions to assert her own autonomy.
On a narrative level, this process climaxes when she decides not to swim across a lake that her father had often swum he had also tried to scare her from swimming in it when she was a child. While there are no guitar solos per se, there are catchy lead guitar lines galore, some very memorable riffs, punctuated by Meshuggah-by-way-of-Cloudkicker djent breakdowns and Porcupine Tree-meets-Karnivool atmospheric interludes.
The rhythm section of Jeremy D'Souza drums and Krishna Jhaveri bass is tight, powerful and technically proficient without ever cluttering up the music. An example of this can be seen on 'Sink or Swim' where the drums and bass play off the guitars beautifully. Because of the guitars carrying the bulk of the melodic load, the album's standout tracks are the ones with the most memorable guitar lines providing the melodic themes of the songs.
The level of production on the album is quite stunning for what seems to be a DIY production job. The production is crystal clear with vocals, guitars and drums all kicking, hitting and cutting exactly the way they should.
Only the bass gets lost a little bit in the mix, which is a shame, because there are some pretty interesting basslines on display. Overall, the album showcases an immensely promising young band but also shows that it has room to grow, primarily in the vocal hooks department. Press to Meco Transmute. Corelia New Wilderness.
