this movie is about an actress who had an affair with her director and is running away from the scandal. the whole movie is her trying to seek some type of comfort in different peopleās houses after the fall out. the whole movie is very slow paced but i donāt think you would be able to feel how raw her sadness is if it moved any faster. you really have to sit with her and be uncomfortable and lost with her.

omg this movie. i love how slow and intentional it feels. the story is given room to breathe. scenes often feel like peeking into a moment that continues after the scene ends. we follow alanās journey via a series of significant encounters, while not neglecting to appreciate and luxuriate in the long lonely days he spends on the road. the travel montages are beautiful golden and deeply midwestern. the lynchian horror element is very present but executed subtly. i felt the story was told with skill. my favorite scenes:
the very last scene, alan and lyle reunite. the suspense built to this moment is incredible. the air is thick with emotion. few words are spoken, yet so much is exchanged between them.
the hospitable couple chat in the kitchen. love is exchanged through gestureā she leans, chin first, limited in reach by her hands, which stay in the mixing bowl. he closes the distance with a kiss. she answers a question he didnāt quite have to ask. she treats the answer like itās obviousā of course, extend generosity.
the conversation with the pregnant woman around the campfire. you need your family. you need strangers.
thank u iyes for projecting thank u ether for hosting

what the hell did they put in this movie?
I need it desperately. I need it like an everything bagel with veggie cream cheese on a Sunday morning. I need it like water in my lungs. I need it like I need Age of Consent to play directly following Love Will Tear Us Apart on the dance floor. I need it like two beers to overcome my social anxiety. I need it like the woman I met at that house party last week to text back so we can go out and dance and talk about books again because I long to hear her opinion on literally anything.
Safe to say, I need this movie bad. A day on this earth doesnāt pass where I donāt think about this piece of film. The longing. The tension. The colors. The music. The sea. It has it all.
I need to be at the sea. You know how they used to send women to the sea for treatment for āhysteriaā, like in The Bell Jar or Ammonite or this film. I need that but less in the patriarchal and misogynistic way, but more in like a āI really need to just be close to a body of water for a prolonged period of time and ponder thingsā.
Every time I see the number 28 I think of this film. Every time I look at a classical painting. Every time I hear a French word spoken I am convinced I need to acquire the language so I can grasp this in its true essence.
My therapist told me that I am centered around longing, this has always been true, this movie has only amplified that.
The lovers path or the poets path which shall I take? I donāt fucking know as long as I can experience a connection half as deep as this.
Go watch this movie.

iāve been humming this song and thinking about it all day for some reason. itās about her traveling the world, going to all these different countries, but still missing home. while joni isnāt a native californian (sheās canadian) i hear her love and longing for it in this song. her voice is just so delicate yet so powerful at the same and when she hits those runs with the high notes it tickles my brain. i donāt know how she does it man. the lyrics are great as well too, one of the best songwriters to ever live.
this song makes me love my home even more than i already do. even when i lived in texas for a few years i would wish a tornado would come and tear down the trailer park i lived in during tornado season in the summer, literally kneeling on the ground inside of the neighborhood shelter with my palms together, eyes closed, praying to god to let mother nature do its thing so i could go back home to california.
obviously, joni and i were in 2 very different situationsā¦

this movie is amazing. i love how they kept the original dialogue of the play and used it in the movies but still modernized the setting and characters. a lot of movies make romeo and juliet bland and boring but this one is vibrant, with fun wardrobes, religious iconography everywhere, and this movie feels so saturated. leonardo dicaprio is charming as always in this movie and he plays an amazing romeo to pair with precious juliet. i absolutely love the person who plays mercutio, they did an AMAZING job.
the problem with all the other romeo and juliet movies is that they always take themselves too seriously but you have to remember, this was meant for stage theatre and shakespeare was a playwright who loved to be humorous. all of that gets lost in every single other romeo and juliet movie except this one. itās so fun, i highly recommend.
CAUTION: tears might be shed.

š20 isnāt old at all. iām about to turn 20 in a couple days. i donāt feel old at all, this is the youngest iāll ever be. i donāt care about the gen alpha shit because those kids have never known what the internet used to be and therefore i could care less about their opinions or feeling old because of them since these kids never had a a real chance of creating/experiencing things without being told what to feel/experience by ruthless, exploitative algorithms. as for the slang, slay and baller have been in the cultural zeitgeist since like 2016 (and honestly way before then bc itās aave) iāve been saying that shit since middle schoolš that came wayyyy before gen alpha i think theyāre just using it in really brain rotted ways but ngl these kids are funny as fuck
