It's like I'm reading a book... and it's a book I deeply love. But I'm reading it slowly now. So the words are really far apart and the spaces between the words are almost infinite. I can still feel you... and the words of our story... but it's in this endless space between the words that I'm finding myself now. It's a place that's not of the physical world. It's where everything else is that I didn't even know existed. I love you so much. But this is where I am now. And this is who I am now. And I need you to let me go. As much as I want to, I can't live in your book any more.
yes, i had to put the entire monologue because it's so gut-wrenching and, at the same time, beautifully-written that deeply resonates with the film's silent yet lingering message. 💌
it captures a kind of modern loneliness we carry while we're scrolling through our phones — waiting, hoping someone might hear us. and theodore feels like the embodiment of each and every one of us.
I WAS IN AWE OF EVERY SCENE JOAQUIN PHOENIX IS IN. 😞 he really portrayed what grieving over a connection feels like. and samantha, a soul without a body, feels more present than most people do these days. YOU can really feel scarlett johansson's pain and despair through her aching voice-over. she builds a whole presence out of just a voice — and it's so real.
in a world that is in constant progress, fleeting connections do leave marks in us that stay.
