Aftersun (2022)
#it’s wild to me how many people don’t include the rug in their aftersun (2022) post#it’s THE object of the story to me#i was looking for it specifically so i could post my letterboxd review of my rewatch here for my archive and found was stunned by the lack#here’s why i suppose:#For the rest of my life when I revisit this I’m going to think about my professor#choking up as he talked about the tangibility and grief of Sophie stepping onto her dad’s rug every morning as she gets out of bed#my Nana passed the other night#and I have a plant stand from her that I use as my nightstand#It’s the first thing I see every morning as I reach over to grab my glasses#I don’t have an elegant connecting point to make here—I just think it’s beautiful that we love people so much#that we cherish objects simply because they were loved by someone that we love#that we hold onto tangible pieces of them in any way we can#❤️🩹
