I hate the trope (if you can call it that) of movies ‘changing people’ but Sing Street genuinely broke me down and built what remained into the foundations of who I am today when I watched it for the first time when I was 15. I still stand by the fact that “Up” is the best love song ever written and that a more beautiful depiction of how it feels to discover yourself as a teenager hasnt been put to film since. Big ups the Irish and Dublin.
feels a bit sillier watching it as i get older as i myself am now detached from that weight you feel as a teenager, but it will always be my comfort movie, it takes me back to a good place
like actually going out and trying things. put in an effort and take pride in that (being effortless is soooo out for 2024). use this platform to find new amazing things! you can never really know what you like and what brings you joy and fulfillment and all that cheesy stuff unless you actually go and really try a bunch of stuff. I love trying!
