I'm honestly not bothered by the fact Patel handles the trans representation relatively schematically. It's clear the support & investment is there, especially with how prominently he spotlights the Hijra community. And I do appreciate the violent defiance to violent suppression.
Lol, well they'd be on my list regardless, given letterboxd scores are calling the shots, but needless to say I'm a big fan of 'em. RE: Afterlife's an all-timer for me.
As ever, I love you all very much. As much voice as I try to allow my anger & frustration with the current tide of history, I feel my hope & faith in others growing stronger every year. Thank you for tuning in to my ramble. Good night! www.youtube.com/watch?v=lv5R...
TVアニメ『葬送のフリーレン』エンディングテーマ「Anytime Anywhere」miletアニメ本編映像で紡がれるスペシャルMV「Anytime Anywhere」【作詞】milet【作曲】m...
1. How Do You Live? (The Boy & the Heron) Directed by Hayao Miyazaki 124 min 思い出のお母さん. Mystifying chamber odyssey through a drenched-canvas dreamspace of malicious inheritance & curdled national honor. A glistening world made with the care & craft of our own two hands.
2. John Wick: Chapter Four Directed by Chad Stahelski 170 min. "I'm *going* to kill them all." Morningless midnight chaos for the glimmer of the memory of a dream long forgotten. An action epic so broken & desperate in spirit, yet happens upon peace before even achieving it.
3. Shin Kamen Rider Directed by Hideaki Anno 121 min. "Why must you reject my happiness!" "I'm so happy the scarf suits you." Inhabiting & amending the broken fantasies of the desperate writ large. A batshit action odyssey of its own! A funhouse of Anno's malformed imaginary!
4. Adventure Time: Fionna and Cake Created by Adam Muto 248 min. Your top fantasy, another's tragedy. Your tragedy, another's salvation. Adventure Time's concise form stunningly intertwines life's heartaches & joys, as mundane, eerie or demented as they can be.
5. Killers of the Flower Moon Directed by Martin Scorsese 206 min. A slow, horrifying stranglehold in the needle-thin guise of affection & concern. Scorsese's fascinated with passive cruelty masked as love, its host's malformed soul & the hope, rage & dejection of its victims.
6. Are You There God? It's Me, Margaret. Directed by Kelly Fremon Craig 107 min. The table-extender is the shot of the year, for me. A simple, but sharp & devasting visual cue - the contraction of space & familial trust - in a film full of incisive suburban discord.
7. Scott Pilgrim Takes Off Directed by Abel Gongora Created by BenDavid Grabinsky & Bryan Lee O'Malley 207 min. Sometimes you can only grow when the story's broken. The euphoria of not being a centerpiece of someone else's arc; settling cozily into yourself & not your role.
