  Past Lives 2023

  ★★★★ Rewatched 10 Jul 2024

  the imagery of life between two cities is one that hit particular hard as someone who’s bounced between western cityscapes (LA, london, spain) and home in seoul for the past 6-7 years.

  1)  longing for the homeland while wanting to reject it for the sake of building a new and distinct life abroad

  GoodFellas 1990

  ★★★★★ Rewatched 02 Dec 2020

  My face jumped from a grin to a grimace and back to a grin at least fifty times while watching this. Acting is phenomenal, writing is phenomenal, set and costume design is phenomenal.

  I love Robert De Niro and I would've had a fat crush on young Henry Hill if I were his age.

  rewatched because I was too 🍃 the first time around and couldn't remember the entirety of the plot lol

  American Beauty 1999

  ★★★★½ Watched 22 Dec 2020

  Fuck Kevin Spacey and Lester Burnham's predatorial / pedophilic storyline but the film itself was well-crafted.
