    “I wanna live again. Please, God, let me live again.”

    I am once again completely breaking down watching this movie. It’s so difficult to make a great movie in any aspect, let alone one that speaks so much to what makes us human, but this is the one that does it better than any other. It’s so beautiful to have a protagonist who doesn’t live out his dream while reminding us that that’s still alright. How can any of us be upset when we have family and friends who we love. When we matter to them, we matter to everyone. Merry Christmas everybody!

    Guys will watch one of the bleakest movies they’ve ever seen, but see a bunch of Irishmen drinking pints in sweaters amidst rolling hills by the water and say “God I wish that were me”

    Would love to know how this fully formulated since it took so many years. How much script, how much improv. The Wright bit about dreaming fast seems like such a Wright joke, but it comes back. Does that signify it was always a Jarmusch thing? (Weird to see Wright younger, has much more of a Woody style comedy than I’ve seen from him normally). Love the way this connects and the pace it has. So many people I enjoy as artists and have loved in smaller parts

    “It’s easy to know what you are against, but quite another to know what you are for.”

    What a difficult watch and poignant movie. Unfortunately evergreen

    Watching Paul sing "My Love" and "Maybe I'm Amazed" with Linda next to him is profoundly beautiful
