Alec Guiness, David Lean – „Die Brücke am Kwai“ (1957)

Ein Film, der sich bis heute jeder einfachen Einordnung entzieht. Kein unpolitisches Kriegsabenteuer, keine historische Rekonstruktion, sondern eine minutiöse Studie über Stolz, Pflicht und die Absurdität militärischer Logik. Schon in der ersten Szene, in der britische Soldaten in ein japanisches Kriegsgefangenenlager geführt werden, ist die doppelte Dimension zu spüren: eine strenge Ordnung, subtile Machtmechanismen, die Menschen zerstören können. Anders als in klassischen Flucht- oder Abenteuerfilmen wird die Brücke nicht zur Begründung der Handlung, sondern viel mehr zum Symbol der Unterwerfung. (3Sat)

My ★★★★★ review of "Quatermass and the Pit" (1958)

#WordWeavers 16 — How long is your shortest work?

I've been incredibly busy lately, but I just wanted to answer this prompt. It's fascinating to me, honestly. I loved reading everyone's responses.

I have two short stories that I can think of at the moment. I've written tons, but hey. Ironically, both of these are Sherlock Holmes-related (and for Irene and Sherlock to boot). They were written yeaaars apart from each other.

1. Desire Beyond Skin, 2025

2. On the Edge of Forever, 2019

I love both of these pieces so much.

I've started a new series, "Weakness and Altruism," and wanted to share it. 🤍

This is random but over the years, I've written well over a hundred Sherlock Holmes-related stories on various sites. I've even written RP stories with either Mycroft or Sherlock Holmes for years. I wanted to move some of my stories to AO3 and perhaps add a few new ones while I’m at it. So, here goes nothing. This series is new and canon to Arthur Conan Doyle's body of work.

Here's my Holmes: https://agoodtuckering.tumblr.com/tagged/cushing%20holmes

We have Peter Cushing as Holmes and André Morell as Watson. Who do *you* picture as Irene Adler? I'm curious, so let me know down below.

Come one particularly rainy afternoon, Sherlock Holmes finds that he has a rather interesting visitor who's popped round to say hello.
