Portrait of a lady on fire is my religion

what the hell did they put in this movie? I need it desperately. I need it like an everything bagel with veggie cream cheese on a Sunday morning. I need it like water in my lungs. I need it like I need Age of Consent to play directly following Love Will Tear Us Apart on the dance floor. I need it like two beers to overcome my social anxiety. I need it like the woman I met at that house party last week to text back so we can go out and dance and talk about books again because I long to hear her opinion on literally anything. Safe to say, I need this movie bad. A day on this earth doesn’t pass where I don’t think about this piece of film. The longing. The tension. The colors. The music. The sea. It has it all. I need to be at the sea. You know how they used to send women to the sea for treatment for “hysteria”, like in The Bell Jar or Ammonite or this film. I need that but less in the patriarchal and misogynistic way, but more in like a “I really need to just be close to a body of water for a prolonged period of time and ponder things”. Every time I see the number 28 I think of this film. Every time I look at a classical painting. Every time I hear a French word spoken I am convinced I need to acquire the language so I can grasp this in its true essence. My therapist told me that I am centered around longing, this has always been true, this movie has only amplified that. The lovers path or the poets path which shall I take? I don’t fucking know as long as I can experience a connection half as deep as this. Go watch this movie.

REWATCHED INCEPTION

Not the most niche film, but after a re-watch recently, this film greatly opened my eyes on how to let go of guilt, grief, shame and fear. The famous scene at the end where Cobb tells Mal that he can’t stay with her anymore and when he figures he holds on to a version of her that doesn’t exist or isnt the full complexion of who she was as a person, has constantly been on my mind. When we hold onto things we once loved or still love to this day, it’s easy to let it take over your whole life and reality itself- the constant need for closure eats you alive every day and the imprisoning them and yourself to your past memories gives a sense of eternal warmth and comfort. But the truth is they aren’t here anymore or they aren’t at least that version of themselves anymore and the same goes for you too- YOU ARE NOT THAT PERSON ANYMORE! The grief will always be there, of course and that’s okay, cuz you loved them. But the shame, the guilt, that can be worked on, and I think I’m genuinely on my way of confronting it properly, instead of letting it consume me for all these years (I think, anyways, lol)

oh boy this one is gonna be controversial. first off to be transparent I am a huge nerd and train models for a living. that being said, I was a huge ai hater for a long time and never used it in anything I did. Then, I started using it a bit for coding, then for research (tool use ftw), then for a whole bunch of simple tasks I wanted to automate but couldn’t w pure code (either due to needing unpredictable input or needing buttons pushed). Is it super useful, not yet. Should we replace people with it, obviously not. But like dude. You can TALK to your computer in ENGLISH (or french, arabic, japanese, etc.) and it will understand you and respond. I think the like crazy shift in human - computer interaction here is kinda slept on ngl, I fw this heavy now.
