    The Brutalist

    ★★★★

    The inherent laws of concrete things such as mountains and rock define them. They indicate nothing. They tell nothing. They simply are.

    Although you attempted to flee the chaos of war, it ultimately found you, dear László. I must admit, you were right—what resides in the heart of these structures transcends conflict. What remains is the steadfast core of beauty, untouched by time.

    Does Evil come from within us, or from beyond?

    One of the most compelling aspects of horror films is their use of symbolism and metaphors, inviting thought-provoking interpretations.

    Nosferatu might offer a striking critique of society's treatment of women, especially those who have endured sexual violence. It underscores the isolating nature of trauma, portraying it as an eternal haunting, while the rest of the world watches from the sidelines with weary and impatient eyes.

    Are you a gardener or a flower?

    A quote embedding itself in our consciousness and revealing the inherent imbalance in human relationships.

    What’s most striking, however, is the notion that we are either one or the other—gardener or flower—when, in truth, we all shift between these roles. Yet, there is a temptation to bolster our egos by envisioning ourselves as gardeners... now, is that really a gardener?

  • Look Back

    Look Back

    ★★★★★

    To love is to look back.

    Both Fujino and Orpheus looked back, each in their unique plight, driven by a curious blend of hope and despair. Is this not love in its purest and most powerful form? Full of thirst, anguish, and the longing to grasp what seems unattainable.
    Both Fujino and Orpheus fix their gaze upon their source of inspiration, rendering all else insignificant. To love is to understand this instinct, this inevitability. Look Back captures this universal truth with poignant clarity.

    Thank you, Fujimoto.
