watching poor things with ellie months after cinema release and forgetting all the context we had surrounding it
dear reader. The Favourite is still My Favourite yorgos film. i say that as if i have seen more than two. anyway. throughout this we tried to remember all the opinions of this film we had months ago, and also spoke over the entire explanation of what was happening, while discussing that we didn’t understand what was happening. me and ellie were so close to our circular narrative that we decided it happened before it actually did. it was like when you have a 2 in the card game president and think you’ll win that round but someone has a 3 of spades. your hopes have zero impact on the narrative at play. thoughts ? the architecture world design made me feel absolutely queasy (so does looking at photos of the earth) so must mean it was cool.

REWATCHING FILMS & QUEER
when i watched queer for the first time last year, i think i was expecting (and hoping for) a wrwwr/cmbyn-esque film. when it was so not that i think i was disappointed because i had been so excited for that kind of a storyline and style. there was no way it was anywhere close to my top guadagnino films. earlier this month i was watching some of his interviews etc. about the film and decided to watch it again last week and i legitimately think it may be my favourite film of his. knowing the meanings of the symbolism and more surreal elements of the film, and what to expect of the storyline, i connected with the characters soooo much more. this is a mega rec, anyone who rates this film less than a 4 and has only seen it once should rewatch or ur in danger bcs i cannot stand to see that this film averages at a 3.4 on letterboxd, what’s going on??? im embracing pretentiousness bcs no like u actually just don’t get it x this was a testament to rewatching films before projectile vomiting ugly lame opinions of them 🙏 this film is my child!

THE ZONE OF INTEREST
saw it last night and i was speechless. i know films like this can feel like homework, because of they are positioned as "important", but nobody makes movies like Jonathan Glazer ("Birth" and "Under The Skin" are incredible) and i do think this film is really important. i felt sick to my stomach and i can't get it out of my head.

escaping the small town
see also: having a life that feels like your own, being able to feel happy, having people you care about and who care about you too, no reliance on the transpennine express, living in a place where the world doesn’t end at 5pm, seeing a castle and a big big hill and the moon on the way to see the girl you really really like, being in the position the child you in the small town could only dream of and didn’t believe could happen
