Minari
the first movie i’ve seen in theaters in over a year. god i missed theaters. i’ve felt good the last few days, because of summer or cancer season maybe? because i’m setting time aside for myself for the first time in what seems like a long while? not sure. but regardless this is the most stable my mood has felt in months and i’m thankful for it.
anyhow,
today i got off work early. i decided to go get a haircut since i’ve had it short the last 3 summers and it feels like tradition now. i read some of the short stories from the elephant vanishes. 930
and i finally convinced one of my friends to come with me to the last showing of minari. like i said, it was a good day
the person behind the counter encouraged us to refill our small sized drinks as many times as we wanted >:) and they gave me a bandaid for the cut on my finger. very sweet. Sorry most of this isn’t movie related but these reviews aren’t written for you anyway,,,they are written for me and i wanted to talk about my day and the nice lesbian working at the concession stand
as for the movie, watching the grandma decline hurt (i’ve had to watch too many old ppl die this year while caregiving - i hate covid and i hate america ahhh). i loved her personality SO MUCHH, her and the grandkid were adorable. my friend was worryingly whispering to himself the whole time about whether they would both survive and we were both crying by the last act. i’ve heard a lot about <PERSON> performance in this but honestly <PERSON> took the cake for me
also feel like i should have a joke about <PERSON> and the barn burning in here somewhere but oh well 427
