am i allowed to say kill all trillionaires or is that too specific of a threat

god the half of it (2020) is so good. the emphasis on finding meaning and emotion both in art and philosophy, but also the quiet and miraculous mundanity of food and connection. this being contrasted routinely by loneliness ("gravity is matter's response to loneliness" / "must be nice [not to believe in god]" "no, it's not. it's... lonely") because of queerness, race, and interests, juxtaposed again by those who can assimilate more successfully but at what cost vs those who cannot but also feel more subsequently limited. the respect and reverence it affords solitude and creativity while also celebrating different kinds of love: not only queerness, but queerness as a sociopolitical identity on disavowing amatanormativity and valuing friendship above all else. love being the effort you put into your relationships, the way it's never too late to find your people in unexpected places, the centring of understanding and being fully truly seen. the journey towards self actualization and beginnings because fear and hope are two halves of the same whole. the importance of finding your boldest stroke and following through. to be a boy running after a girl on a train not because he's in love with her, but because he Loves Her. "this is not a Love Story," but it is a story overflowing with love.

i love that ellie is such a quintessential grumpy nerd and the movie doesn’t frame it as something she needs to change or soften to be better loved. it’s sooo stupid simple but also the narrative cherishing an asian girl who’s a grumpy nerd with nerd™️ dialogue and doesn’t “make up for it” by being sexy or feminine or girlboss is a rare, rare combination. she’s just herself and that’s wonderful. that’s all the film needed to love her

vampires are so full of shit. "oh the human race is beneath us, you're just livestock to us" I don't think you know what livestock is. do you feed us? care for us? protect us from predators? no. you just slink around dark alleys and ambush people. that's not what a higher being does. that's a bottom feeder. a parasite. karate punches your head off

this is the only correct addition to this post
