Gaza 🇵🇸

#gaza #palestin

‏My child died at the beginning of the war on Gaza. He was suffering from a critical heart condition and needed intensive care. Although he initially received treatment, the difficulty of coordinating and going out for treatment outside Gaza prevented him from continuing his care, which led to his tragic death. When my wife, Walaa, became pregnant with Ihab, she had many complications. My wife is now pregnant, and cannot get regular check-ups due to the lack of hospitals and clinics. She needs regular monitoring to make sure the baby is healthy, and we are also struggling to find the medications and supplements needed for her pregnancy. Please help so we can get out of Gaza.

greg offhandedly mentions that he’s gay and tom (the forehead-kissing nero guy) is like WOAH cock pocket are you fucking hitting on me you sleaze??? is that what this is, you’re USING ME for your own corporate advancement and personal pleasure GREG??? and greg’s like no i- tom you, you’re not even like my, uh, type, i guess? and tom goes white as a sheet and starts shaking in place before very quietly he’s like oh. okay, gregory. us lowly fucking emperors just aren’t ambrosial enough to quench your sweet whorish thirst, huh? is that it? you were waiting for the fucking demiurge to descend upon you instead, you yipped-up hippy? what if this was it for me, greg? what if my survival depended on the daily-dwindling hope of a future that you’ve just snuffed out like a fucking yankee candle? you’ve got blue fucking blood on your hands now, greg, and all the sweet fucking soaps of the waystar fucking bathrooms won’t fucking sweeten this little fucking cock-up.

Lucas & Coppola: the inspiration for Obi-Wan and Anakin's relationship.

So I was going through this old article of The New Yorker and came across this quote:

"Just as a benevolent father figure (Obi-Wan) helps Luke in his struggle against his dark father, the older Coppola took young George under his wing at film school, and helped him get his first feature film made." - John Seabrook, The New Yorker, 1997

Now, it's known that Francis Ford Coppola and George Lucas were close friends, but after looking further into it, there's some interesting parallels to be made:

Coppola started out as a mentor figure, taking Lucas on as a protégé.

He helped George get THX-1138 and American Graffiti off the ground. Lucas filmed second unit shots for The Godfather and assisted in the editing, developed the script for Apocalypse Now with John Milius.

Overtime, their relationship had blossomed into a more brotherly one, with them becoming "equals".

"[Our relationship is] sort of "mentor-mentee". I mean, he's taught me everything. He's five years older than I am but, you know, when you're 20 and 25 years old, that's a big gap. And so, he's always been my mentor and helped me get through everything. You know, we've know each other for, you know, what? Over 35 years now. And so, the relationship is more brotherly than it probably is mentor-mentee at this point. It's more older brother-younger brother kind of thing. [...] We pretty much are equal in terms of what we know about what we're doing."

Sound familiar?

Wait 'til you hear about the dynamics of their friendship:

"Francis and I, we were very good friends right from the moment we met. Uh, we’re very different."

"Francis is very flamboyant and very Italian and very, sort of, “go out there and do things!”"

"I'm very, sort of, “let's think about this first, let's not just jump into it.” Um, and so he used to call me the “85-year-old man.”"

"But together, we were great. Because, y’know, I would kinda be the weight around his neck that slowed him down a little bit to keep him from getting his head chopped off. "

"And, uh, on— aesthetically and everything, we sort of had very compatible sensibilities in terms of that. I was strong in one area, he was strong in another, and so we could really bounce ideas off of each other. But we were very much the opposite, in the way we operated and the way we did things... and that, I think, allowed us to have a very active relationship."

A mentor-mentee relationship that turned into a brotherly one.

Two men with opposite personalities - one more outgoing, the other more cautious - that complemented each other's beautifully.

Yin and Yang.

Just like Obi-Wan with Anakin (or Obi-Wan with Qui-Gon, if we wanna talk about the mentee needing to slow the mentor down a bit so he doesn't get into trouble).

So I dunno if there's more to it, but when I read all this... I read one more reason (in addition to the others) for why the "Anakin and Obi-Wan weren't compatible enough, Qui-Gon should've been the Master because they had more in common" interpretation doesn't track.

Like, if that's your opinion/theory, cool.

But there is no way you'll convince me that the author - who had almost that exact bond with Coppola - would then go and intentionally write Obi-Wan and Anakin's bond as lacking and "a failing for Anakin".

Edit:

Just found this quote and I figured I'd add 'em :D

"[After the Warner Bros scholarship] I had a choice between going back to graduate school or going off on this little adventure, and I decided to go off on the adventure with Francis."

Edit #2:

Said Stephen Spielberg in the George Lucas 2016 biography "A Life":

“I think Francis always looked at George as sort of his upstart assistant who had an opinion. An assistant with an opinion, nothing more dangerous than that, right?”

A description reminiscent of both the Qui-Gon/Obi-Wan dynamic but also... kinda the Obi-Wan/Anakin one.
