    I cried three times.

    Citizen Kane

    Despite having seen it before and it being over 80 years old, every other shot made me gasp with its beauty. Love how it manages to be both “high art” and petty diss track… but maybe that’s just MANK in my head.

    ★★★★

    There’s a moment at the end where the subtle shifts in E.T.’s facial expressions genuinely break my heart.  Isn’t that wild?  What a good movie.

    Younger kids didn’t like it as much (despite laughing and screaming constantly). They said they didn’t like Elliot. I think that in Elliot they saw themselves - a character of pure emotion - and it made them uncomfortable.

    They said that Elliot was annoying. I said that they were annoying. 4-stars and a heart.
