Aftersun

bawled my eyes out on the first watch & now i bawled my eyes out on the second watch RELEASE ME

On the Silver Globe

shows that no matter how far we go, we can’t escape our own destructive nature. we really haven’t come that far at all, we’re just stuck repeating the same cycle, chasing freedom, questioning why we exist, and hurting the very people around us this was great !! sucks that the polish government cut it short and stripped away so many of the ideas zulawski had for it

Cure

i enjoyed this so much !!!!!! i felt this constant dread the whole time watching and it actually got under my skin. like the kind of dread that just sits with you and doesnt go away. i watched it with the lights off at first but i had to turn them on halfway through lol that hanging scene genuinely scared the shit out of me. but what really stuck with me was when his wife asks what’s wrong, because it makes you start questioning takabe’s sanity too. the deaths r also so so unnerving, specifically that shot of his wife's body wheeled down the hall. also i love how it doesnt rely on music to tell you when to be scared. most horror movies do that, but this one doesnt and somehow that makes it even worse. the silence makes everything feel more real and way more unsettling

Scott Pilgrim vs. the World

The Batman

i will always love this movie <333333 zoe kravitz n robert pattinson im drooling

The Prestige

UGH no words except i enjoyed this movie sm also the first line of borden’s diary says “we were two men…” and at first it seems like he’s talking about him and angier, but on a rewatch, you realize he's actually talking about meant his brother !!!!!!!!!!!! so so much foreshadowing

Don't Look Now

title real asf dont look

A Different Man

“oh my friend, you haven’t changed at all” this movie really captures that horror of changing everything about yourself only to realize you are still the same person underneath. a different man plays with that idea in a dark and almost ironic way, showing how important it is to have a sense of self you can actually live with, because no surface level change will fix what runs deeper. it is not exactly subtle, but it works. peeling away edward’s “flaws” just to reveal a conventionally attractive face does not erase his insecurities at all. if anything, it proves that self pity is way more unattractive than anything physical, something adam schimberg makes very clear. also im such a sebastian stan fangirl fuck !!!!!!! SEBASTIAN STAN !!!!!!! THE MAN THAT U ARE !!!!!!!!!

Lilya 4-ever

“i want to have a doll, pencils to colors with, and a pink school bag.” WELL fuck. first of all this is not horror in the usual sense where you end up scared of what is hiding in the dark. this isn't a thriller like the shining, but it is something far more unsettling because it feels REAL !!!!!! and i guess, it is. the kind of reality it shows is something girls, kids, and women continue to experience, being pushed into situations where survival comes before everything else and choices are no longer really choices at all. it's just tragic tragic tragic. what more can i say it drops you into the life of a young girl who has been abandoned and left with almost nothing, forced to survive in ways no one should ever have to !!!!!!!! it just shows the reality of someone with no home, no support, and no options except her own body just to stay alive. it does not try to tell you whether her choices are right or wrong, because that is not the point. there is nothing to judge when the situation itself is already unbearable. instead, it simply presents what feels like the most likely outcome of a life shaped by neglect, manipulation, and poverty i'm gonna be grateful for my privilege. i love you lilja and volodya. u did not deserve any of that. what sin did children ever commit to deserve the world they are born into, or is it not sin at all, but just the randomness of existence and the uneven weight of circumstances no one chooses? and if that is the case, then what do we even call it, if not something deeply, painfully unjust, then what are we supposed to do with that truth, if anything at all?

28 Days Later

Arrival

what if you could see every beginning and every ending of your life all at once, would you still choose to live it the same way? louise learns a language that dissolves time itself and forces her to confront a future she cannot change. it reframes love not as something measured by how long it lasts but by how deeply it is felt, asking if joy is still worth it when you know it will be taken away, and louise’s answer is a quiet, devastating yes. yes, even though she can’t change the course of her life, but she chooses to see the beauty in it anyway, yes as she cherishes her love with ian without ever taking it for granted, & even knowing from the very start that it wouldn’t last. she still chose to love, to experience, to exist fully even with the certainty of loss because there’s something inherently meaningful in opening yourself up and sharing love, even if it doesn’t last; it may end in pain, but when you weigh it all, can that hurt really outweigh all the joy and warmth that came with it? everything beautiful is fleeting, and maybe that’s exactly why it matters !!!! “Despite knowing the journey and where it leads, I embrace it. And I welcome every moment of it.”

About Time

The Silence of the Lambs

everything in this film, from the plot to the direction, the acting, the pacing, and the way the tone slowly builds is great !! the conversations between clarice and hannibal made me so tense it had me grasping my blankets + there is something so invasive about the way lecter looks straight ahead, and Anthony Hopkins makes that gaze feel almost too direct, like it is not just clarice being examined. i feel like he is staring right at me maybe there is no clean line separating people into good and evil. for me, i feel like lecter is not only trying to understand clarice, he is pushing her to admit something she would rather leave unspoken, that her need to save is tied to something personal, something rooted in her past that she has never really escaped. in that sense, her pursuit of Buffalo Bill is not purely selfless, it is driven by something she needs for herself. the film suggests that all of them are compelled in their own ways, shaped by what happened to them, with the difference lying more in where that compulsion leads than in any real moral divide. her final confession does not feel like relief, it feels like recognition, like she is forced to see that she is not entirely separate from the people she hunts. and lecter, in his own unsettling way, seems satisfied with that, as if understanding that truth matters more than what it does to her "have the lambs stopped screaming?"

Project Hail Mary

exhilarating hope blasting a hole through the despair surrounding my heart !!!!!!!! it's a triumph of dedication to the human race, but more than that, it's proof that even the smallest, most unlikely moments can pull unimaginable bravery out of a person. this is the real intergalactic friendship!!!! this is what it is about!!! about choosing connection even in the vast loneliness of space!!! about finding warmth in a place that should feel completely empty!!!!! the bond between grace and rocky is so pure it almost hurts, its something so tangible and real that it makes you wish for your own rocky, your very own rocky who meets you in the dark and stays #needthat #don'tweAll? it's funny, so unexpectedly funny, and then it turns around and hits you with this quiet, overwhelming emotion that had me crying more times than i can count. i burst into tears at 186.3 years with your partner not being enough this movie is so beautiful. a beautiful and deeply felt effort that makes you want to reach for something beyond yourself. for so long we've turned away from the overwhelming beauty of what's out there, and Project Hail Mary feels like a quiet call to wake up and keep searching anyway :)

Fresh

if sebastian stan proposed a weekend getaway after we danced around listening to blood orange and ate a take out dinner, hell… 😭😭😭😭 Noa i’d end up in the exact same position and gain stockholm syndrome 😭😭😭😭 ok srsly daisy edgar-jones’ acting >>> THE SCENE where she wakes up after being drugged and slowly realizes whats happening is actually so upsetting n its soOOOOO uncomfortable in the best (worst) way. it feels way too real because the film made her so relatable in such a short time its such an unsettling idea overall. getting killed is terrifying asf but slowly losing parts of your body while you’re still alive, just waiting for it to end? knowing you’re getting eaten out there?? Goodnight i’d probably just kms  also ironic how sex/lust ends up being the main catalyst for his downfall… like wow, men really stay predictable !!!!!!!!!  peak music btw i watched for the main characters and ended up staying cz it was a good watch
