some movies need to be viewed twice to be fully appreciated. I just finished watching the boy and the heron a second time and yeah, it was much better the second time around.
give things a chance. I hated it on first watch, but this time it really grew on me.

when i watched queer for the first time last year, i think i was expecting (and hoping for) a wrwwr/cmbyn-esque film.
when it was so not that i think i was disappointed because i had been so excited for that kind of a storyline and style. there was no way it was anywhere close to my top guadagnino films.
earlier this month i was watching some of his interviews etc. about the film and decided to watch it again last week and i legitimately think it may be my favourite film of his.
knowing the meanings of the symbolism and more surreal elements of the film, and what to expect of the storyline, i connected with the characters soooo much more.
this is a mega rec, anyone who rates this film less than a 4 and has only seen it once should rewatch or ur in danger bcs i cannot stand to see that this film averages at a 3.4 on letterboxd, what’s going on???
im embracing pretentiousness bcs no like u actually just don’t get it x
this was a testament to rewatching films before projectile vomiting ugly lame opinions of them 🙏 this film is my child!

I’ve just finished this movie for the second time, and my oh my, even better on round two. I think it’s now in my top ten. Truly amazing.

i think it’s almost time to rewatch i might be ready but i’ve only seen it once when i saw it in cinemas
i felt ill at ease watching it in the cinema but i didn’t actually cry properly i don’t think, but now knowing the suggestion of the ambiguous ending i’ve been scared to watch it again
also the time passing and change since i saw it the first time i think it’ll hit wayyyy harder if i rewatch sooo
i adored it the first time though and it was in my top 4 for a while

📖reading is a habit of building and developing your empathy and critical thinking skills. you’re forced to sit with an idea for however long you are reading it and forced to contextualise it and comprehend it within your own life and perspective. You can’t just scroll away or pause or put it on 2x speed. you have to sit with it. it’s super underrated, but genuinely I’ve made this a habit for the last year and feel like a totally different person. also you come out of it having learned something new or seeing the world in a slightly new way. I literally do not see any downsides to reading. make reading cool again! also you don’t have to do it in one big block, you can space it out — 15 mins here, 45 there — whatever works for you!

🐦i don't think anyone ever intends to become a recreational ornithologist. but i've noticed that it definitely creeps up on you slowly in your mid-twenties. it starts with noticing how funny pigeons are, then learning pigeon lore, and suddenly you're feeding your neighbourhood birds every morning and buying books on birds. as a child i idolised the pigeon lady in home alone 2, and i woke up this morning and realised — i AM the pigeon lady 🐦

🪞our cultural obsession with being perceived as cool is a disease. its peak capitalistic/consumerist propaganda. fuck being cool. like what you like and who cares if it's cool or not. it's tiresome and we need to leave it in 2024. literally nothing gives me the ick more than people who betray themselves in an attempt to be perceived as cool by the masses. be yourself — even if it means you're 'uncool'.
