Don’t forget, that it’s remembrance day.
Take a moment to stop what your doing.
And thank those before us for their sacrifices.
For sacrificing their lives, their hopes and dreams to save their home. Our home.
Now let us return the favour, let us make everyday better for now on. For not just us, but for them as well.

i made my friends guess the names of war and peace characters and this is what they came up with
i think in war and peace tolstoy’s misogyny feels intrusive whereas in anna karenina it feels built in.
ummm okay thanks carolyn
war and peace drafts are so funny i’m kind of obsessed with andrei surviving and then deciding to conspire to get pierre and natasha together like okayyy
i’ve seen ppl criticize both kitty and natasha for being tolstoy’s overly stereotypical girl characters and while i hate tolstoy and think he was a misogynist, those girls are also just like me… so. maybe he was onto something there.
I LOVE U NATASHA ROSTOVA!
bbc war and peace bad but callum turner as anatole kuragin was so inspired if u really think abt it. that man would also send me into a state of mania.
i bought a copy of the “original drafts” version of war and peace cuz i saw ppl talking about it so much and i only knew some vague facts about it. it’s really interesting and i’m enjoying it but i do find it funny that the publisher describes it as “tolstoy’s intended version” when so much of what’s left out is the most self indulgent philosophizing prose from tolstoy.
Natasha and Pierre throughout several adaptations of War and Peace
[BBC War and Peace (Harper, 2016), War and Peace (Bondarchuk, 1965-1967), War and Peace (Prokofiev), BBC War and Peace (Conroy, 1972), War and Peace (Vidor, 1956), War and Peace (Dornhelm, 2007), Natasha, Pierre & the Great Comet of 1812 (Malloy)]
here’s this little thing i made… i originally tried to use clips from soviet war and peace but there’s just not enough helene in it for this to work :( it’s also not my best work besides but i just needed to see this vision play out
what if i said something came over me the other day and i may have made a helene and pierre edit to this part of is it over
no one understands natasha rostova autism. it’s so hard being pretty and also intensely unsettling.
i was wondering why platon karataev already had a tumblr tag but apparently there’s a hungarian band named after him… u learn something new every day
josh groban plays the peasant man that pierre (kermit) meets in prison btw
muppets war and peace where the only human is andrei
oddly enough these are the major themes of any classic russian novel
the best scene in any war and peace adaptation is when nikolai comes home and everyone runs to greet him
say what you will about bbc war and peace but this shared look between natasha and nikolai is everything to me
rip natasha rostova you would’ve loved capcut templates so much
told this girl i liked war and peace the other other day and she said “that’s cool! i like russian house music” so shout out to her
most of war and peace is just men creating issues for themselves while women suffer the worst horrors imaginable.
tolstoy: after natasha and pierre got married everyone was pretty miserable for a long time and people died and stuff and it was really awful
me: aww they got married 😊 cute
callum turner was a very good anatole but he would’ve been better if they hadn’t given him that ugly haircut
i know war and peace being the most expensive film of it’s time has been disproven, but does anyone know about the claim that it has the highest number of locations for any film up until it’s release?
my ask box is open so pls leave me asks related to war and peace or chess or literally anything!!
Pierre after spending hours manufacturing a phrase to make his name equal 666 after also manufacturing a phrase to make napoleons name equal 666 which means it's his mission to kill napolean and that he's also somewhat responsible for what happened to the holy capital of Moscow
