"Minari is Wonderful, Wonderful!"
It really is! This one hit me deep in the soul hole because it reminded me so much of my own childhood. Both of my immigrant parents married young and struggled to make ends meet. I even remember my sister and I would make a 'Peace flag' using a plastic bag on a stick and we would wave it around whenever our parents would fight.
Everything about this film is so tender, it feels like one…
The Safdie brothers have created a new genre of music for their films. It's called 'Anxiety asshole clenched synth rock'
Damn. I need my asshole looked at after this, it was clenched the whole time.
Insanely brilliant pace with a career defining performance from Sandler.
"You’re only allowed three great women in your lifetime. They come along like the great fighters, every ten years. Rocky Marciano. Sugar Ray Robinson. Joe Louis. Sometimes you get ’em all at once."
One of my all time favourite quotes. Incredible movie!
The scene when they were driving away and Nai Nai was in the rear window really fucked me. Beautiful film.
It's like the film 'Kids' but with under developed characters and less plot. The 90s aesthetic and music was beautiful though!
It gave me 'This Is England' vibes with the main character being taken under the wing of some irresponsible piss heads and noncey teenage girls lol
It also reminded me of the doc 'Minding The Gap' which is an incredible look into the skating world. Basically this film reminded me of other things that are superior.
5 things I've learned from Marriage Story.
1. I want to get married and write a cute list about my wife.
2. If I get married I NEVER want to get a divorce.
3. When it comes to lawyers, you get what you pay for.
4. Don't let your wife cut your hair because you'll end up looking like Shaggy.
5. If your child doesn't know your bleeding to death on the floor maybe it's not worth fighting for the little sociopath.
