  Im obsessed with this movie. Its for sure in my top 5 movies and you can try to say its recency bias but youre just wrong. This movie is awesome. I dont even know how to describe why i liked this movie so much, I just do. The cinematography is chefs kiss and i liked how different shots conveyed different feelings. Like the close up shots of the people eating really added to the awkwardness of everything.  SPOILER WARNING I love watching a movie where insufferable characters become your favorite characters. Mr. Hunham was the literal worst at the beginning, like if i had him as a teacher, i would slam my head into a wall. but by the end of the movie when he was leaving after he got fired i was SOBBING. and then theres angus who i thought was really annoying for most of the movie. Like even after he started having his arc or whatever, he was still kinda an ass. Like sometimes i just wanted to tell him to stfu and behave. Idk i didn't think it was that hard to not cause chaos e...

I feel like this whole movie could've taken place inside Mahitos head while he copes with the depression resulting from his mothers death. I understand that what happened in the film was real, but i feel like it is real to him. Its all representative of how he feels.       When you lose a loved one, you naturally try to convince yourself that they weren't in pain. In the other world, his mother can control fire and she literally says "Im not afraid of fire." he subconsciously is making what happened to his mother not seem as bad. I dont know if that makes sense but im gonna pretend it does.  The blocks falling over and needing to stack the blocks to keep the world together is representative of how little control He has over his life. Like him not being able to save his mom, his dad marrying his AUNT and IMMEDIATLEY getting her pregnant, moving away and everything, he has literally zero control over whats going on. I feel like the blocks being so unstable is repr...

Ok. To get this out of the way. I don't love Comedies. movies that are trying to be funny aren't super funny to me.  Anyways. this movie was pretty good first things first. Age Gap? HORRENDOUS. 32 AND 19???? WHAT DO YOU MEAN??? i dont care if the relationship is supposed to be fake. The whole point of the movie is she gets hired to date Percy and she gets the car when she has sex with him. THAT FEELS GROSS. thats like Leonardo DiCaprio Level. If we put that aside.... I thought the movie was pretty decent. I honestly saw it as more of a coming of age movie than a comedy. Its a huge commentary on the "American Dream" and how in order to have basic necessities (like a car/ house) you have to go to extreme lengths. Now realistically that probably wouldn't include grooming a 19 year old (hopefully) but you get the point.  there are two things that bothered me about the movie (other than the age gap). first off, people kept saying how J La looks old???? HELLO? She looks...

Ok yall are so dramatic. This movie is honestly so amazing, the cinematography, coloring, casting, plot, character development, everything was so good. Not all movies are supposed to be normal. This movie is supposed to make you feel uncomfortable. All the weird stuff that Oliver does is supposed to reinforce the level of unhinged that he is. This ins't a happy-go-lucky gay romance coming of age story. Its a psychological drama about a man with odd motivations.   SPOILER ALERT      Visually, this film is stunning, the contrast, the lighting all of it UGH i love it. One moment that really sticks out to me is the scene when the coroner is removing Felix's body from the property. In order to avoid seeing Felix's dead body they pull the curtains. These curtains are a shear red which casts a dark red, almost red room effect onto all the characters, showing the anger and overall negative emotions they are feeling in the moment. I find it interesting how in the scenes ...

This is Kinda a Different Blog than Usual because this just hits so close to home and it feels wrong to just do a normal blog like this is any other movie  Trigger Warning: Mention of self harm, conversion therapy and extreme homophobia/transphobia  Going into this Documentary I knew it was going to be a hard watch. As someone who is part of the LGBTQ community while simultaneously growing up with a catholic education, I knew that homophobia ran rampant within the religious community. However, I did not know the true origin and reasoning for the creation of conversion therapy before watching this film.      In watching this film, I realized that conversion therapy stemmed from self hate and loathing. The founder of the organization focused on, Exodus, began a "Gay Thoughts" support group at his local church because he felt alone in his feelings and urges toward homosexuality. The way that this film cut between former Exodus leaders current  testimonies and ...
