Final Fantasy IX (2000) Abandoned Home, Burmecia
That mural or tapestry on the second floor depicts a couple dancing, reflecting how Burmecians, like their pacifist relatives the Cleyrans, value dance in their culture.
Naruto asks Zabuza "Do you really mean that?" when Zabuza says Haku was just a tool. Sasuke asks "Do you really feel that way?" when Kakashi gives the book answer to what a shinobi is, just a tool to be used:
I know Kakashi's mind was here hearing Naruto and Sasuke ask that:
This whole arc was a trigger trip for Kakashi. Like they really said both of Obito's lines:
My friends know I don’t like dragon ball (I know I know I love Naruto, they’re NOT the same) but I always forget how Zidane is basically Goku and it’s actually really cute
I got a ticket to see I Want to Be Your Cassowary eeeeeee
Andrei Tarkovsky’s Stalker uses plants like no other live action film I’ve seen. Even The Happening, where plants are the explicit antagonists, doesn’t have a fraction of Stalker’s potent and diverse plant shots. The film draws a unique tension from its post-industrial landscape, but it is the weed community that provides the peculiar sense of looming, sinister life. As the characters enter the Zone, they are literally enveloped by weeds. The Zone’s traps are invisible; the plants come to embody the unseen dangers lurking within.
This is all the more effective because the location is found and not designed. Tarkovsky found and immortalized a transitional plant community that actually existed in 1970s Estonia. With the right frame, the natural world still holds a terrible beauty the most radical imaginings fail to capture (contrast Stalker, for instance, to the cartoon thorn bushes or spooky forests typically used to personify hostile plantscapes).
