  Giri/Haji 2019

  ★★★★★ Watched 04 Nov 2022

  hands down one of my favorite series. it has everything i love: violence, romance, and experimental elements.

  the relationships were so well fleshed out, every emotion felt 4D, the filming was exquisite.

  i cried inside and outside for this movie and the ending was unlike one ive ever seen before (interpretive dance?? black and white??)

  would recommend to anyone who wants to delve into the world of yakuza and understand the pain of duty and shame (giri/haji)

  Salt of This Sea 2008

  ★★★ Watched 04 Nov 2022

  i understand that she’s a highly acclaimed poet and spoken word girly, but i felt that we didn’t need a performance in every dialogue. It made interactions less authentic. 

  the beauty and actual filming of the land and scenes was really well done! I could watch a quiet film of Palestine any day (we can see the past just through that)

  i did love emad, his family, everyone aside from sayoura. i wish we saw more about the people and their lives.

  When Harry Met Sally... 1989

  ★★★ Watched 04 Nov 2022

  Loved how it opened at Uchicago bc every good movie starts there (mean girls @northwestern). first ever romcom and I think I get the hype. there was definitely a plot but I could barely tell because there was so much to giggle and goo over! 

  Still hasn’t cured my disease of being unable to rewatch a movie but I loved the softness of it.

  (need to watch something with blood and action soon- not fully converting to romcom just yet)
