Reaching far beyond sword and sorcery, The Scar is
a story of two people torn by disaster, their descent into despair, and
their reemergence through love and courage. Sergey and Marina Dyachenko
mix dramatic scenes with romance, action and wit, in a style both
direct and lyrical. Written with a sure artistic hand, The Scar is the story of a man driven by his own feverish demons to find redemption and the woman who just might save him.
Egert
is a brash, confident member of the elite guards and an egotistical
philanderer. But after he kills an innocent student in a duel, a
mysterious man known as “The Wanderer” challenges Egert and slashes his
face with his sword, leaving Egert with a scar that comes to symbolize
his cowardice. Unable to end his suffering by his own hand, Egert
embarks on an odyssey to undo the curse and the horrible damage he has
caused, which can only be repaired by a painful journey down a long and
harrowing path.
Plotted with the sureness of Robin Hobb and colored with the haunting and ominous imagination of Michael Moorcock, The Scar tells a story that cannot be forgotten.
...uh!?
Do you have a REYLO VIBE recommendation? Submit or contact me!💙💙💙
I just watched the Russian fairytale “I am Dragon” after @fuck-yeah-monsters-and-villains recommended it and that movie has a massive Reylo vibe all over it!! Besides it’s so colorful, has great shots, loads of slo-mo and is kind of a tease, because most of the time there is a strong tension between the dude and the girl but they can’t touch and you find yourself yelling at the screen for them to just jump each other.
Also awesome and also Reylo like –
Dude has a dark side that he can’t control
Kidnaps the girl
Dislike and mistrust at the beginning
She helps him be more human
Cliff scene (lol, even several)
What I would like to see in ep. 8 or 9 – Fanservice. All. The damn. Time. He doesn’t own clothes and even if she get’s some for him, he still flashes his abs. We get a peek of his butt at some point.
He has a superpower (can see/control the wind) and teaches it to the girl.
He lets go of his beloved and it breaks his heart (Beauty and the Beast style)
Spoiler!! – She decides that she must follow her heart and calls to him and he takes her again, and she tames the beast inside of him. Happy fucking end.
This sums it up perfectly. 😘
The beautiful Russian movie “On Drakon” (He’s a Dragon) is a perfect monster love story.
In the midst of her wedding a princess is kidnapped by a dragon, taking her away to his castle on a far away island. Everything that is left is a stony imprisonment shared with a mystic creature and a mysterious young man. Who is he and how did he get to the island? The princess will uncover the secret, but it will be too late. Her love for him – the man who is a dragon – will turn into torture for both of them…
