my heart is so mindless

Everyone has different opinions so I understand that you didn’t think it was ‘that awesome’. 

I love it so much because of many different reasons;

1. First of all I’m a big Xavier Dolan fan (Writer, Director, Editor, Producer of the film) which adds to some part of it. 

2. Since I am a huge Dolan fan, I love to see him improve through his movies and it makes me proud to see how far he’s come from his first film to this.

3. I studied Film & TV for two years so I see films differently than before I studied it. I look at certain things in a different matter and analyse films and what some things mean and how it was achieved etc. Which brings me to my next point:

4. Certain scenes makes me want to cry because it was so pretty for example the scene where Steve jumps on the bed with the curtains moving by the wind. so beautiful. The aspect ratio of the film was one part of why the film is so beautiful; some scenes looked like photographs because of the way it was shot with the aspect ratio and the lighting. When the screen got wider because of the dream sequence or when Steve ‘was free’. I love metaphors in movies. 

5. I really enjoyed the soundtrack of the film which affects each viewer differently. Watching the beautiful cinematography with amazing songs is just, I can’t explain it, for example the last scene while it played Born To Die by Lana Del Ray was so beautiful and empowering. 

6. The acting in this film was fucking amazing and I really appreciate great acting! Personally I believe films can not reach their true potential if the actors themselves are average.
