Cure
I had intended to watch this on my actual Birthday back in March since it would have marked the 3rd consecutive year of doing so but unfortunately missed it. No way I could have gone an entire year without watching this psychologically tormenting masterpiece. The crushing weight of knowing that your most heinous thoughts, ones you’d never even fathom being able to put into action, are actually just patiently waiting to be expelled from your soul. Only then could you then reclaim a peace you may have one known which is a sickening reality because I think it goes far beyond just thoughts when discussing something as probing as this. I don’t know how it keeps getting better and yet it does!
‘All the things that used to be inside of me... now they are all outside’
