Aftersun

i never had the courage to rewatch this even tho the first time i didnt get it immediately, but im so glad i did, because i guess the more you grow up the more you understand this bullshit. i had a friend of mine telling me that movies cannot be good just because you find them emotional for personal reasons and after the second rewatch i absolutely don’t agree with that statement. this movie is the reason, it was made for that thats the whole point and it works so well, its not just about cool shots and nolstagia, its about describing a feeling, its about discoveries, depression while being a child, and personally there hasn’t been a single movie that could’ve explained it better. it makes me incredibly sick how much i related to sophie, i remember being the same when i was her age (except shes 10 times cooler than me) and while writing this im really ugly crying.  so a big thank you to this movie for making me and so many other people that have experienced the same things feel seen
