I rarely enjoy films of the rom com genre so I don’t really know why I liked this more than most people seemed to

Monster 2023
I am often frustrated by media driven by needless miscommunication, but in Monster, all breakdowns in expression and connection are the opposite of needless. Every instance of a character being unable to express their unique experience is so intelligible and human, and as you’re led through multiple perspectives, you become increasingly hopeful about the possibility of reconciliation, acceptance, and understanding despite so many isolating forces (bureaucracy, societal norms, whatever). Loved this :,)

Barry Lyndon 1975
Barry Lyndon (the guy) simultaneously did so little and so much. Not a hero, sort of a huge asshole, kind of rode a bunch of coattails and stumbled into one thing after the next, but also resolute and not a coward and at times pretty dope and skilled. How is he so milquetoast and nondescript and evil and caring and exceptional all at once. Makes you think that’s how all these fools probably were irl or like I guess just…
