Anora

here i am, once again last year i said i would watch anora due to its sweep at the oscars, and only now have i finally rewatched it, yeah it still holds up and it deserved everything. it’s still absolutely devastating to watch, that final 30 minutes is pure depression, but the rest of the movie is still a fun time at least. the halfway point where shit gets all crazy is one of the funniest things ever put on my tv screen. i think it’s fair to say that i think mark eydelshteyn should’ve received some sort of best supporting actor nomination for his part as vanuatu, because i remember watching this for the first time, i was really rooting for them, but you really see it from the very start, it wasn’t for love. poor ani, like i promise i can be better for you. she’s played by the absolute beauty mikey madison (plus her hair which is also a paid actor ❤️❤️❤️) i sort of see myself in ani, she just wants to be loved and she was just embarrassed because some people just walk away when things are getting too serious. i wanna be that sanctuary for someone though while getting tons of hugs and kisses and all of that, but god forbid i be a lover boy, sorry ill shut up now the only thing i hate about this movie though is that whenever i mention to someone “oh this is one of my favorite movies of all time” and then they’re like “ohhh yeahhhh ofc it is, we know why” LIKE NO i’m not a freak it’s so much more than all the sex, it’s so much more than that, if i wanted to watch that i would just go on twitter ☹️, but it’s a story about love, you can see that ani was very passionate in that aspect, she works for pleasure but so much more than that, she works for the feeling because that feeling is better than any drug. and that devastation at the end is all real, though she hides it in anger, trying to lift herself up, she was confident this is the one, that’s what we feel when we’re in love, we’re absolutely sure, but then of course, some people might not feel the same way and it breaks your heart into so many pieces like why can’t i just love you, i want to be your sanctuary, i want to make you happy, i want to rid you of any sadness you may have and free you… but it can never work like that, we just refuse to believe it, no matter what anyone says, sometimes its the idea of them, but it can never actually be them… it’s an addiction… anora is a masterpiece, 10/10, i’m depressed goodbye
