Aftersun
My biggest fear in the future if/when I become a dad is that’ll I’ll feel like Calum; this a hard movie to watch again but a necessary one.
The scariest thing about this film, in my personal opinion, is I understand Calum, and it’s hard to look in the mirror and see why I do. I know one day if/when I become a dad that even if I do start to feel like Calum, like I do constantly, I would hate to leave my daughter(s) or son(s) left alone trying to piece together any remnants of me they can find.
We never know the silent battles our parents or people in general are fighting secretly inside them. It’s the type of movie to make you want to hug your parents and tell them you love them because if you do the night just hold on a little longer every time you say that.
To my future child or children; you don’t exist yet, but I hope you/ you all do one day. If this review is still up in a few decades I want to let you or you all know I love you already; and I’ll stay for you, I love you, and we will watch this when you’re older.
*'Cause love's such an old-fashioned word
And love dares you to care for
The people on the (People on streets) edge of the night
And love (People on streets) dares you to change our way of
Caring about ourselves
This is our last dance
This is our last dance
This is ourselves
