the moment i sat down to watch this for the first time i felt so seen and like i was watching part of my soul on screen. pee-wee embodies so much of my thoughts and feelings as an autistic person and i always loved the way that he's so strange but no one in his world sees him as strange. to them he's just pee-wee! and the way his age is ambiguous, like he's an adult and he lives alone and can drive and stuff but he also acts like a kid and is referred to as a boy often, felt like it embodied the way i am technically an adult but feel very much like a child. for a long time i watched pee-wee's big adventure almost every day. every time i saw him i smiled. i love the open and happy way he interacts with the world, the way he never lets fear of being seen as strange stop him from being himself. the script of the film is hilarious, the cinematography is gorgeously weird, and it just embodies a type of weirdness that this movie taught me is okay to let shine. i love this movie so much and it has influenced my thoughts toward myself and how i represent myself a lot!

I almost feel like this is too obvious a rec, but if you haven't seen it you simply must. Pee-Wee Herman had that shit on.
