It’s about an injured stuntman in the hospital telling a little girl stories to manipulate her into helping him. Genuinely, I’ve never seen a movie so visually and conceptually intriguing.
Back when I first watched it, the licensing had lapsed so you couldn’t buy or stream it anywhere, except for a $50 eBay dvd. It became my life’s mission to find it SOMEWHERE, and the only place was in a library on the other side of the state. The gratification of tracking down physical media and being rewarded with this masterpiece….. I can’t even tell you.
Last I heard, it’s now streaming on Mubi. I so highly recommend looking it up.

I watched this movie for the first time just the other night. it had been in my watchlist for so so long and i just decided to turn it on for no good reason and i was simply not expecting the rollercoaster that it turned out to be. so beautifully heartbreaking in so many moments throughout the film while still having such a strong sense of adventure, wonder, fantasy, and whimsy. its all based around a story being told to a child in a hospital and this story is malleable, changing from scene to scene, imagined in the moment. characters change accents and even actors in the middle of the story, and all the while you are able to glimpse the very real life of the man behind this tale. this film is just as fulfilling visually as it is narratively. amazing cinematography and set design make this a truly captivating piece of art. this is one of those movies where the less you know going into it the better, but i can tell you, you will laugh and you will cry. its beautiful. (attached are some stills from the movie as well as a link to the internet archive page where you can watch this for free!)

recent mental health booster I stumbled onto when my phone ended up dead one morning, so I went to a cafe near me to journal/read for a couple hours without it. there were so many times I phantom reached for my it like the addict I am, very glad I couldn’t that day or else stupid things would have been done. I was forced to sit in the moment and process my thoughts without being able to actively do anything or contact anyone. did it the next day purposely and I had such a good day.
leave your phone at home sometimes when you’re bumming around your area doing small errands! also forces you to learn your surroundings rather than relying on google maps.

cant 100% take credit, read this on pinterest years ago.
when you start a journal, get a photo of you with the journal (I use instax photos but you can use the canon printer or print the photo etc) and paste it onto the first page, before the ruled lines. then when you finish the journal, take another photo with the journal and paste it on the last page. it’s a snapshot of you and your words at the beginning and end of its journey :)
