Picspam: Weekend & Paper Dolls

[bettylabamba.livejournal.com]

Salut,

Today's picspam is a double feature. I took screen shots of Saint-Just from Goddard's film Week End and scanned a few pages of The French Revolution: Paper dolls to cut out.







I'm not going to review Week End because it's a Goddard, and I'll leave it at that. In my opinion, it's one of the best worst films of all time. I hated watching it, but I loved the wierd taste it left in my brain afterwards.

Now on the the paper doll book of Revolutionary cuteness! I would've scanned the whole thing, but the book is wider than my scanner and it was a royal pain in the ass to even scan these. Click the thumbnails to enlarge.

Isn't he adorable!!!!! Oh, I wish the boy dolls came with an extra set of clothes. Only about half the gals had extra dresses. Are you going to draw extra clothes to put on him? :)

Hey, I agree: Marat is absolutely adorable there. I am so impressed. A Marat drawn prettily with pink-blushed cheeks. :O

I just love how he's reading a speech from a book with his face on it. It's just... awesome. XD! I wonder which speech it was though.

I'm curious about that movie... is it a sort of movie bashing French bourgeois nonsense?

Hmmm...I have no idea. He was going on about liberty and how much mankind is fucked up. I think that scene really set the whole tone of the movie (for me, at least).

Yeah, pretty much. And Sunday drivers. But everyone, even the anarchists group, is shown in a ridiculous light.

Woah. That speech sounds nice........... it changed a lot since your time, eh S-J? -_-;

That sounds like such a beautifully cynical film. >.>

Aw, those revolutionary paper dolls are adorable. <3 Too bad it didn't come with a Make-Your-Very-Own-Guillotine kit.

Oh yeah! There's a paper doll of Manon Roland^^. This made my day, or at least "unmade" the shitty mood Schama recently put me in, popping up in my tv without any warning.

Yesss. I love ridiculous films, and this is promising.

Eeeeeeeh, those dolls are sweetness. :3

The clip of that Saint-Just scene is actually up on Youtube, I think.
