Shoujo Kakumei Utena: Ritual

Buy coke Utena

Halfway into the Shoujo Kakumei Utena anime and again half through the recent trilogy of stage musicals of which two are complete and had their first runs , Utena has to accept that she has a responsibility when she prods or pushes those she has power over to doing her will. She wants Anthy to act a certain way, and while she has power — or a level of affected control — over Anthy, she capitulates to this. In the same way, those who have power over Utena have a responsibility, even a culpability, for how they treat and direct her. This includes Anthy, who has far more — and far more insidious — control over Utena, because while Utena is a well-meaning teenager, Anthy is an ageless or liminally-aged ancient witch, suspended in an adolescent mindset by shame, trauma, fear, abuse and bad habit. Much of all tellings of Utena — and they are tellings and retellings, evocations of a true story we may never apprehend — the musicals, the television program, theatrical movie, manga and standalone art pieces, all center around shame and the way in which shame structures our self-identities, the identities we show publicly, and even our pride. When we talk about this world of Shoujo Kakumei Utena being a reflection of another or a world being an escape from another, what we generally do, is to pare down the world. But, in daily life, in our own world, the ostensibly really real world, we do the same. We pare it down. Not necessarily simplifying, but parceling. We take a focus. Even the ways we describe what we do, how we do, shapes what we think we have done. We give a fictional cosmogony to us. To this. When I write, here, about this , Utena or Shiori or someone else from Utena cannot know what I mean, because they have no genuine autonomy. But, I know Utena, I know Shiori. Boy howdy, do I know Shiori. And, I can decide what they understand about what I wrote without having to deliberately think it out. I am not solving a mathematical formula, I am sight-reading. I read everything twice as fast as I can because I am dyslexic and because my vision is getting worse and between those two things, I am probably more terrified than I know. Which, is a narrativizing lie. It terrifies me. I correct misspelled social media posts seconds after I post them, except Twitter which will not let you. I live in gratitude to editors who fix everything, who will fix the errors in this chapter and the rest of Us Living in Fictional Cosmogonies. When I edit, I guarantee you I read what I am editing more times, and more carefully, than anyone else involved. I have to. Every one of us is more perceptive than we let on, because life, as it is lived, teaches us not to admit it. The most recent tellings of Utena , in comics and musical theatre form, have been — of course — heavily influenced by earlier tellings and retellings, but distinctly healthier. In the initial versions of Utena , the original manga and anime, homosocial relationship are inherently predatory or they are romance that is not romance because the characters are closeted or the narratives will not approach a clarification. Through incredibly similar scenes and an emphasis on a shared enjoyment of food and drinks, they are able to become friends. To be friendly. The character of Kozue is pulled away from being quite as internal as she is in other versions, and the expressiveness, while it serves a stage performance much better, is also more open and feels genuine, feels like she is a person more than a reflection or refraction of her brother, who in the earlier tellings has always had more initiative and focus. Adolescence seems to take some of that note from the Twin Peaks theatrical movie, Fire Walk With Me , which similarly presented characters we all felt we knew, but in a way that showed us part of them that felt opposite, even felt opposed to what we knew. One of the actors from Twin Peaks flat refused to do a scene in that film because it was too opposite his understanding of his character. There is an acting technique often utilized by Martin Landau, which hinges on the idea that people do not do, so much, what they want, they do things to avoid or cover up what they do not want. When he played Bela Lugosi in Ed Wood , he handled the accent by playing a man who does not want to have his accent. He has his accent and he is trying not to. He is affecting bravery, affecting hubris and confidence. Characters in Utena , like Saionji, Juri, or Utena affect a maturity they do not have, and characters respond to the affectation. A savvy character, like the manipulatory demigods, Anthy and Akio, can see through the pretend adultness, but some adults are fooled; many of their classmates are fooled. Sometimes, they fool themselves. When we see Saionji and Juri again in After the Revolution , their adolescent immaturities and their adolescent weaknesses feel more resonant, more pronounced, but only because they have aged and have not grown out of them. They grew into them. They have not yet understood that there is revolution for them as well as for special someones. After the Revolution makes it apparent that this applies, as well, to other genders. Everyone or anyone can have or experience a revolution, a miracle. We had seen this all along, but even if we understood what we were seeing, what we were understanding and taking in, to voice the understanding was probably too threatening. The manga voiced it, so that we, also, can take the risk. Now we are bolstered. We are supported. Writer of the Patricia Highsmash column. Former faculty, Shandong University.
