i just finished the first 3 seasons of ozark and i will never be the same, what a buckwild, perfect, powerful show, how is it so unreal and deeply authentic at the same time, like some fucked up version of magical realism, how can this show present me a bizzare scene and make me go ‘oh god that is so fucking real’, characters that i hate but i feel for, even when they’re being assholes and wrong i still root for (some of) them. writing, directing, acting, score, cinematography - perfect and beyond, also marty byrde is my hero, he needs a break, everybody needs to have a second to breathe, season 4 please give us a moment - please just one (1) moment of calm, i need to see them free

it's been 24 hours since i've watched a star is born in the cinemas and i'm having an emotional breakdown, i am sobbing, i've cried like 6 times today, this film fucking changed my life, this soundtrack is one of the rarest masterpieces i've ever encountered, from country rock to ballad, this album owns me and its beautiful lyrics and composition, lady gaga is fucking wonderful and magical, and i wanna thank bradley cooper for making this film what it is, his acting was so fucking authentic my heart is in pieces, the two of them acting and singing together was art, the directing, cinematography, music, the whole team, i'm grateful to them, stories aren't just stories, they mean something much bigger than just a 2-hour video, i felt the whole universe and the entirety of time in this film, that might sound absurd but i'm fucking sobbing w/ all the sincerity, and i've always been dark and broken, but this one just destroyed me and made me whole simultaneously - and it'll probably be like this for the rest of my life, i love this film and i'm thankful for it and now it has become a part of me, i love you a star is born

just watched bradley cooper and lady gaga’s live shallow performance at the oscars and i’m fucking sobbing what the fuck my emotions i love this film and this music and these characters and the two of them, i love w/ all of my soul, this performance brought back the deepest and rawest emotion i had when i watched a star is born and i had another existential crisis as i cried my eyes out

i just finished watching ep 9 of tsurune and i knew it from ep 1, tsurune is one of the best anime i’ve ever watched, one of the best series ever, i didn’t really know what to expect of it when i first started since i didn’t know anything about it, but fuck i’ve been crying since the 1st ep, i fell in love w/ the depth and authenticity of the story, the characters, the dynamics between them, the animation, the philosophical, psychological and emotional aspects of everything, i love minato and what a great protagonist he is, there are so many layers to him, and seiya, and everyone, like this is a series that is actually about people, about humanity and life, and what you see in each episode is so intensely real and sincere, i can’t help but be overwhelmed of the fact that this wonderful anime exists and i’m fortunate to witness it, it is so captivating and life-changing, i’m just in pure awe of this story, i can’t begin to tell every detail of how much i love it bc then i’d go on forever, i love tsurune w/ my whole heart and soul

this is a random post that i’ve always wanted to make but i wanna briefly talk about two great anime films; your name (kimi no na wa) and a silent voice (koe no katachi) they’re wonderful but in different ways - (1) your name was so impactful bc of how unapologetically fantastical and romantic it is, i mean i would’ve appreciated a bit more character depth from the main protagonists, but the theme of fate and soulmates was beautifully portrayed that i understood this movie is just about that vague elusive dreamlike feeling and wasn’t meant to be grounded in any way, it is a visual & concept-driven story (2) on the other hand, a silent voice is about as genuine and authentic as it gets, it is a character & emotion-driven story, it’s unapologetically dark and a bit gritty and real, it was basically a mirror of reality, it had all the deepest depths in the world and that’s what makes it so powerful and meaningful, and a personal top favorite, both are beautiful films and ugh i love them so much what great works of art
