  Past Lives 2023

  ★★★★★ Watched 06 Mar 2025

  this movie (+the boat scene) reminds me of before sunset. also, la la land. let’s have a moment of silence for those whose lives follow the murky shadow of ungratified yearning. (someone play bags by clairo)

  - “you only dream in Korean. you dream in a language i can’t understand.” “there’s this whole place inside of you where i can’t go”
  - “you wanna understand me when im dreaming?” “yea.”

  - “and maybe, we are just a bird and the branch it sat on one morning”

  ENDING:
  - the wind was blowing her dress towards him. in this reality she stood steady.

  Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind 2004

  ★★★★★ Watched 24 Feb 2025

  she came face to face with his inner child.
  i’m glad i watched this. i liked how she asked him to point out the constellations he knows. trust your spontaneous urges, even when they’re out of character. joel suddenly realizing he doesn’t want to forget reminds me of dreams where i get horrible tattoos and then panic with sinking regret (??).

  i like movies that portray the reality of love. it’s deciding to make sense of a mess. it’s the choosing
