Queen Of Blood by Charles Nuetzel6/7/2023 ![]() ![]() The story’s a little complicated - in the 70s and early 80s, a lot of the major anime creators were leftists who had been involved in events like the Anpo Protests, but anime of the time isn’t as overtly radical as, say, the films of someone like Nagisa Ōshima in the ‘Japanese New Wave’. The explicit leftist intent of Brecht’s plays is something you don’t really see a lot in anime. ![]() Brecht himself called these Lehrstücke (‘learning plays’) “anti-metaphysical, materialistic, non-Aristotelian drama.” Published in the early 30s, it’s just too young to get caught in the public domain, but you can of course get translations of Brecht’s plays on libgen. It had a didactic intent, it’s supposed to also sharpen your attitude towards the class struggle this didacticism is something that’s often mentioned in reviews of the play as a flaw. Please accept a serious answer to your joke post <3īertolt Brecht’s The Mother is a musical play about a mother’s political awakening during the Russian Revolution, based on a novel by Maxim Gorky. ![]() ![]() I have been thinking about this ever since I saw this post. ![]()
