Worst school infrastructure ever.
Impressions:
I’m melodrama’d out, and this is even more teenagers philosophically rambling about their existential issues as 14 year olds. Joss Whedon young adult shows weren’t as far up their own asses as anime teenage melodramas are. The dumbest part by far should be obvious by the screencaps. They’re walking down the hall, and before they even hear it, they’re sucked into a world of magical sparklies. Hear what? A girl belting out opera at the top of her lungs in an empty classroom. Ya’ll don’t have practice rooms? This is how you do it? How are the halls not filled with nonstop cacophony in this performing arts school? And these girls are all atwitter about how amazing this is. Aren’t you here to study this stuff? Your minds are blown that the girl who was having a panic attack 24 hours ago can also sing? At a performing arts school?
Yeah, I get that’s the point. That they’re having big feelings about nothing happening, just the weight of being a teenager, expressed through pretentious purple prose coming from the mouths of children. That there is nothing actually happening is intentional. It’s the ennui of the normal life and the springtime of youth, blah blah blah. It’s boring. Because they’re not characters. They’re not humans. They’re marionettes that ooh and ahh and sigh no matter what. Even when it is only empty space, because the entire screen is covered in bloom and haze. They do not react to events. Someone talks to them, and they stare blankly as a thirty second monologue slowly plays out in their heads before the conversation continues. There are no events. There is no development. There is only the reflection that what is before them is ephemeral and special, as you can tell by the mountain of bloom and haze. Rant complete. And yet, still more of these to come this season.
