Her (2013)

what’s this tender, soft, beautifully color graded dream? I haven’t felt such tenderness in so long and I’ve hardly ever seen something as romantic as this. this movie was so ahead of its time: letting go of love and finding someone new is so terrifying and looking for it in AI is something that is getting realer by the day. it’s scary, dystopian, unethical. why did this movie made me not feel any of this? maybe I loved the relationship between Theodore and Samantha because it felt so incredibly human. I resonate with his loneliness, his desires and fears so I think that’s also why I never thought of him as “weird”, sympathy and empathy can really make you understand anything. PS: my love for Joaquin Phoenix seems to be growing by the day

Something cool about this is that Spike Jonze and Sofia Coppola were married and divorced in 2003. He made “Her” and she made “Lost In Translation” each about the dissolution of their marriage. I’d recommend watching them together 💖

'Her' walked so that 'Companion' could run.

khatnip I’m so curious about Companion, can’t wait to watch it. I’ve decided to go in completely blind, I‘m not even gonna watch the trailer or read the synopsis :P

I JUST REWATCHED ‘HER’

what a joy it is to discover this movie again every few years. even now I can’t remember every beat or moment, maybe because that moment when Samantha delivers those numbers is just that heavy. but the colors, the arcade fire score, the writing: wow! a truly wonderful movie, and so prescient too. when she describes him as the space between words i was delighted to see so many similarities between the OS and the way that LLMs work.

Sometimes i think about dying (2023)

I went into this film entirely blind having heard nothing about it and I loved it. I felt so moved by it in a way I haven’t by a film in a while. So subtle but somehow very tactile in its depiction of isolation and depression. Daisy Ridley is perfect in it.

Before sunrise

Rewatched this on Valentine’s Day when I was feeling down and it made me giggle for the first time in weeks. this movie is inexplicably human and to an extent everything we are told we are not supposed to do — waste away a day and fall in love with a stranger. In the end, the movie is about giving in — to ourselves, to our deepest desires no matter how impractical.

public transport

listening to music on a bus or on the train while alone and looking out the windows with some music in your ears is the closest thing to the poetic experience ever

i feel loved and blessed

I found this little ladybug on some stairs and I picked her up because I didn’t want her to die from being stepped on. she was so cute and flew away on her own from my finger. this is what love feels like methinks
