This was genuinely disturbing and I didn't watch it the whole way through. I watched that movie a hundred times when I was a child.

the appliances ARE the people, the people represent more abstract forces that play on the human psyche. The AV nerd monster truck mad scientist, the master, the master's girlfriend, all these people ARE concepts that the appliances, which are really the people, strive toward or are guided by, concepts like love, chaos, purpose, and fertility.

so you see, it is not that these appliances are hollow things looking to be filled by serving some master in a hierarchical relationship. It is a story about people who are looking to serve the master that is in actuality the concept of a higher, non-doing state of being.

There's an Anastasia copycat movie where Rasputin literally leads the Bolshevik revolution and becomes ruler of Russia, but that thread line gets left undone and the movie ends with Rasputin as Chairman or whatever.

Anyway, there's a lot of evidence that the conspiracy that murdered Rasputin did so because he was trying to convince Nicholas II to withdraw from the Great War, and the Russian nationalists wanted to keep going to victory. If Rasputin wasn't murdered and that idiot Nicholas pulled out of the war, there may have never been a Bolshevik revolution.

I'd be interested to hear where you got this from, as the standard interpretation is that Rasputin was hated for his influence over the Tsarina while Nicholas was off being useless at the front, and Yusapov and co. were romantic dilettantes who pictured themselves as great heroes. I've never seen the version you posit in any serious historical work, and it would be all the more an odd one since Rasputin hadn't been in direct communication with Nicholas for quite a while before his murder.

I think I just misremembered a bunch of stuff from Yusapov's memoirs, but Yusapov was absolutely convinced that Rasputin was part of some conspiracy to bring an early peace.

This is pretty much Robert Massie's thesis on Rasputin in his biography of Nicholas and Alexandra. He argues that he was at base a simple (and usually filthy) man who enjoyed living the high life and having important people court him, and never really thought or planned beyond that level.

ahh, yes. let's fight fascists with flowers and friendship, that went down so well the last 35 or so times it happened.

a person so far gone to believe in nazi propaganda and show up in public defending that rhetoric is going to be so high on ~patriotism~, anyone who doesn't cheer for them is an enemy of their people and subhuman scum that needs to be put back in line.

Gapon actually did cast a curse of communism on the Tsar and it owns

quote:

From his hiding place Gapon issued a letter, stating "Nicholas Romanov, formerly Tsar and at present soul-murderer of the Russian empire. The innocent blood of workers, their wives and children lies forever between you and the Russian people ... May all the blood which must be spilled fall upon you, you Hangman. I call upon all the socialist parties of Russia to come to an immediate agreement among themselves and bring an armed uprising against Tsarism."[52]
