    Wild at Heart

    earnest in their cringe that's what makes them so cool
    their love is the whole world things go south when they're not following the love
     their sexuality is explicitly not indiscriminate
    so hot for each other because they're safe company
    though her experiences and trauma are never fully shared and held he's caring he would do anything for her he struggles with inadequacy but she just wants his love and to love him
    they reconcile in the fantasy that that's enough
    maybe it really is for them

    kind of lame that her dimensionality is her trauma
    rocks how much she loves to dance

    Winnipeg...my Winnipeg....
    won me over wasn't as wes anderson as the trailer made it seem 
    really funny and never heavy handed, approached its messages with a subtlety I appreciate
    advertisements everywhere...districts divided by building color...public spaces each less welcoming than the next, warmth only exists inside (emotionally and physically, the cold alienation of the consumption-driven outside is enforced by the seemingly unending freeze of Winnipeg)
    despite this unwelcoming exterior the interconnectedness of the community is reassured by the ending, though…
