This movie was so deeply moving to me. really got to the core of what makes life worth living and gets to the center of letting go of things/coming to terms with things ending in such an interesting and haunting way

I took a page out of justheretofillthevoid’s book and watched a movie shortly after waking up, while drinking my coffee. It was lovely and something I expect to do more often!
Something I loved about this movie is it felt real. It wasn’t a stretch of the imagination to think these characters exist, or love each other. Seems small but a lot of movies get it slightly off, so I appreciate it when it happens.
As most people have shared, yes this move is about grief, but I think they did a phenomenal job of showing generational trauma. That which isn’t dealt with, in this case because it was so atrocious and their grandma just needed to survive, is passed down until it demands to be felt.
Overall, a very human film that made me feel a lot of things💗

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)

At the start of this year I made an effort to care more about the day to day tasks and to enjoy them and it has helped not only keep my home clean and neat but also improved my mental health

Usually something theyre wearing. Shirt, earrings, jewelry, hat, anything! It’s a good way to make them feel good and learn about why they chose it or like it
