"But you need to stop feeling bad."
"Yeah, so do you"this hit real close to home, passion is an important thing in life and i don't think i or any human being could live without it. sharing a passion with someone and having someone that would listen to you talk about it + vice versa, being able to listen to someone, that's a need.
there's something about this movie that makes it feel so cold yet at the same time like a warm hug. i don't even have to talk about the camera work, visuals etc. that shit was obviously brilliant just like the cast and their talent.
though this didn't leave me crying it made me feel understood - having a passion, wanting to expand it, but being afraid of leaving something you've been used to your whole life. for me it's home, plans of leaving to another city, plans of leaving to another country. from one side i'm looking forward to it from the other i can't imagine living so differently, with new people, praying the ones i know at the moment won't go with the place change. but i, and everyone should have hope when it comes to things like this, whatever you're doing, you'll figure it out along the way. if it wasn't the right thing, don't worry, find a way to change so you're happy, keep going.
i don't usually write longer reviews so let it be your sign that you should watch this masterpiece, kogonada i am definitely going to watch all your work you absolute goat, so glad i discovered this,
though i could smell the cigarettes at some point
