i never thought iād find my 10/10 movie but i think this is it
iām moved, amazed, and also feel seen somehow
every detail made such an impact
between the living situation and dustin hoffmannās supreme performance, it brought me to tears so many times
i never knew how much one movie could impact so much of cinema, even freaking elf
i donāt need to watch another movie for a long time lol
i could write a book on all of this, yet iām astounded and lacking words
i think joe buck represents so much of the innocence/naivety we start with in life (also omg i couldnāt believe that was jon voight at first!)
and i feel like rizzo ratzo rico is the polar opposite, jaded reality of what it feels like in the real world. his pain came through so strong and hit me like a bunch of swords to the soul.
thereās so much more to it than just that but thatās all for now.

Not even that crazy of a movie but Iām gonna contradict that by saying it may have changed my life. I truly donāt know why but i left this movie a different person. donāt really give a shit about Ben stillers character and I donāt think the movie really does either. maybe itās when Winona gets in the fight and says āplay a show a night, play 3 shows a nightā idk. I wasnāt there for the 90s but this feels like a time capsule like Troy is the years 1991-1997 in human form. Itās been 24 hours since I saw this but it feels like it has clicked something in my brain. maybe itās when Winona says āi was really gonna be something by the age of 23ā and then my theater laughed. one of those movies I want to live in (Houston in 1994). Had to get this off my chest this movie despite having a standard enough plot has been rattling through my brain, truly a character movie wish they spent more time with zahn and garofoloās characters but idgaf

I knew I was going to love this movie just because of the concept and the fact that itās Kieran culkin and Jesse eisenberg but right now itās the morning after I saw it and Iām sitting in bed crying thinking about certain things different characters but especially David, Jesse eisenbergs character said
Iāll tear up at a movie every once in a while but this movie really hit me because it is so relevant to how im feeling recently like literally every element of David and Benjis (Kieran culkin) emotional characteristics and their relationship with each other is relevant
My aunt passed away in September and I have been weirdly impacted by it since then and I have been working on controlling anxiety and depression for four years now with minimal progress and those two things, (Davidās OCD and anxiety/Benjiās grief) are essentially what lead David and Benji to take this trip together so as we learn more and more about their relationship with each other and their personalities themselves it kept getting more and more personal to an almost unbelievable degree
Theres a point where something happens and David sort of opens up and what he says about not actually being okay but just presenting that heās okay because he takes his medication and runs and meditates and goes to work then comes home then does it all again that really really hit me
It is such a perfect blend of funny but also deeply serious and emotional so even if itās not as relevant to you right now I think everyone should see this movie

one of my favorite movies. at 16 years old, watching it feels nostalgic in itself, but the picture it paints of the era in which it takes place is also nostalgic.
itās a more real, defined, engulfing world than any iāve ever experienced through film, and even though i know what happens, i feel the things the characters feel as they feel them. when vr allows us to live in a movie, theme park ride style, āAdventureland Summerā will be my first stop. this thing is dripping with nostalgic heartache to the tunes of the replacements and lou reed, every performance is great / super funny / heartbreaking in itās own way.
as iām typing this, i think i believe this is the best film ever made? that canāt be true, probably, but idk watch it youāll love it and feel a lot.

š¤¤iāve been a mango fan since birth but finally as an adult i bought a mango and vowed to eat it at its peak ripeness. (as a child they would rot cuz my parents didnt care about them, whores) i just did and it was heavenly š„¹ one of the best treats in the world i swear
eff the inedible pale yellow under ripe precut mango from whatever store and buy a whole mango!!!!! its worth the week wait.

now if i keep buying them on rotation i can have one a week š„¹š„¹š„¹š„¹š„¹
