Hamnet
thinking about jessie buckley reaching out for the dying hamlet’s hand & everyone else in the crowd with her following suit within the context of chloé zhao saying shakespeare worked hard throughout his life to bring people together............. existence is collective, & so experiences are an extension of this fact. including grief. especially grief. & maybe this is why it becomes a little easier to carry when others hold it together with you.... & maybe this is why it becomes a little easier to let yourself feel in your bones that your aunt, & your grandmother, & the person you were at 15 (in the place that made you) are absent in a cinema full of people that are nominally strangers than it is when you’re in your room on your own... so on so forth. did you know that scene was improvised btw
#w/ chelsea#shakespeare#war & peace cast#and did you know jessie buckley was the one who suggested using on the nature of daylight. and did you know jacobi (hamnet) and noah jupe (hamlet) are brothers in real life. and did you know that#in theatres#can’t say in good faith that this made me depressed because it made me want to live and also go to the theatre
