Watching movies gives me all the feels.
Cinema is an empathy machine that I am proud to keep oiled.

Some say the Whiskey’s always sweeter,
in somebody else’s mug.
You’re busy leading your man dog,
into the hole you’ve dug.
You want to see the big bright light now
Or head back to shore.
But your stuck cleaning a lighthouse,
And listen to Willem Da-fart and snore!Light by the Sea

Le Bonheur 1965
This is the most devious piece of delectable candy flavored medicine ever put to celluloid.
Varda leaves all of the subtext up to the viewers with a secret handshake and a nod. If you come out of this film feeling everything is happy, that everything turns out all right for Francoise, then a serious look in the mirror and some hard deprogramming is in order.

It’s not for the casual movie person because it follows very few conventions. It’s not for the radicals because the politics in this film are…Translated from by -
Barbie 2023
Super fun, meta, wry, and somehow earnest and heartfelt, while being laugh out loud funny. This film has a great message and does a good job of juggling a lot of things.
That being said, I wish the message was less didactic, I also feel like there are holes in the character arcs and motivations, i feel there are quite a few scenes missing, and ready for the Gerwig cut.
Making the executives of Mattel simple and silly as opposed…Translated from by
