Aftersun
This is gonna be a really personal review and emotional so just warning you. Aftersun is very personal to me because I have been in a very similar situation that Sophie is in but it was worse and something no child should EVER go through but it did and I’m still recovering to this day and the under pressure scene just made me sob as much as the day that my mom died and I continue to scene until the film ended and the reason why that scene made me sob so much is because I know the pains that Sophie is going through and it hurts so much and that scene was so personal to me and then the scene with Sophie leaving at the airport is very similar to stuff that has happened in my life and that just made me break down on my bed sobbing and it made me think what if all that stuff didn’t happen would I even be crying to this I don’t think I would be crying but I’m not upset or sad about my shitty childhood because if that didn’t happen I would have never felt in love with film because when ever I had a shit day which was happening more then I would like to admit I would just put on a film and it started with kids films and superhero stuff but I started to get bored so I started to explore and in 2023 I seen Godzilla minus one which is my favourite film ever and it came out at the perfect time because just a couple months earlier that year I lost my mom and I was grieving for the rest of the year and after her passing I started watching lots of films but it was films likes superhero stuff and comedies and too be honest I’m still grieving but I was having bad thoughts when I seen Godzilla minus one but when I seen it, it told me that people will have really bad times of life’s but YOU DESERVE TO LIVE and it totally changed my worldview and I have not had a single bad thought since seeing that film and I did so some ways to help with my mental health Godzilla minus one and they did help but I will admit I still haven’t fully recovered and I don’t think I ever will and when I seen what Godzilla minus one did to me that really got me to explore all types of films and it has brought me to today and now I’m almost at a thousand films watched and I could not be more thankful for every film I have watched even the bad ones so in a way films saved my life and if your ever having troubles with mental health try starting with something you love it might help you get better. ❤️🩹
