Aftersun

YES I did watch it again after my first watch yesterday and I’m not ashamed Honestly everything kinda hit more on my first watch but on rewatch and after watching some videos helping my truly understanding this film it definitely got better and more meaningful. One of my favourite scenes is the scene where Sophie explains her feelings of depression to Calum and he spits on his own reflection, showing his disgust to the idea he may have passed along his depression to her. This films greatest strength and weakness are the same thing. In that the movie doesn’t directly tell you a lot leaving you to work everything out on your own. For example the movie never directly tells us that Calum has depression, only hints, so for some this could be confusing, but me personally I think it’s perfect, only leaving little hints, because we’re seeing it from Sophie’s perspective and he was obviously trying to hide his pain for her. This film honestly can be confusing but it is still a beautiful masterpiece. Its messages on depression are very important and powerful and ALMOST perfect. This film is truly life changing and thought provoking, and easy to rewatch.
