  Paris Is Burning 1990

  ★★★★★ Rewatched by Melody Esme 06 Jun 2022

  Second watch, first time in a theater.

  I cried as soon as Venus appeared on screen. She deserved that wedding, her bottom surgery, to be a model. She deserved to live.

  A film with an important message (trans people can digest plastic).

  WALL·E 2008

  ★½ Watched by Melody Esme 15 May 2020 2

  When you’re one of the richest film studios in the world and could make a huge dent in stalling climate change if you put your money where your mouth is and instead you make an awful ecofascist film telling children that fat people are the reason the world is ending.

  Bringing Out the Dead 1999

  ★★★★ Watched by Melody Esme 25 Mar 2021

  A more mature Taxi Driver, focusing on the toll that a necessary but traumatic job can take on a person. How, in order to watch people die every day, a person has to numb themselves—remove themselves mentally from the situation entirely, even—in order to stay sane, and how dangerous it can be for a person who simply feels too much to do that. Maybe Schrader/Scorsese’s most empathetic work.
