Sing Street 2016
There are very few movies that capture that early high school awkwardness and feeling like everything matters so much. This is one of them. Feels so genuine with all contexts. With a light plot, thankfully the other aspects of the movie make it so amazing.

“I’m not afraid of death, I am afraid of murder.”
I love Francis Ford Coppola ties Catholicism into all of his films. This catholic guilt and responsibility turns into paranoia.
Harry Caul becomes the very thing he was worried about.

I need a drink after that
I felt like I had to watch this since what’s been going down in the past months. I pray that we wake up and unite before it becomes this extreme even though I know this is fear baiting.
I really like the extreme contrast and contradiction in all aspects of this movie:
Light hearted music over intense scenes
Spray paint “Go Steelers!” Next to hanging men
Jessie Plemons with pink sunglasses
How the young girl and Lee became completely opposites after being held hostage
The saturation of Lee’s view after being traumatized by war.Translated from by
