    An invitation to carry the dead, the historical memory and the loss of innocence in our shoulder. May it never repeat itself.

    The Thin Red Line

    ★★★★★

    Not an anti-war film but a meditation on war, I read somewhere.
    List all of Malick's strengths in filmmaking and put them in a war film: male sensitivity, the conscious voiceovers, the struggles of existentialism in the characters, a broad sense of spirituality, and beautifully inch-perfect crafted frames.
    If there's an afterlife, it exists after watching this film; it tore my soul apart like a doll while still almost convincing me of a soothing paradise.
    We can only imagine the counterfactual: releasing Saving Private Ryan in a different year and The Thin Red Line receiving the attention it deserved and still deserves.

    Poor Things

    ★★★★★

    A striking portrait of the journey of a creation-woman, Poor Things depicts the discovery of identity, sex, pity, class consciousness, gender dynamics, humanity and much more.
    I grew up in a very Catholic household and it delighted me to see my mother gleefully engaging with the film. It speaks volumes about the on-point artistic choices, although maybe graphic and raw, the steam-punk aesthetics and the God-human dynamics, it did not bother my mother even an inch. The message stuck in our heads for longer than expected, like a fine tune would.
