Aftersun

I wanted to watch this because I knew it prominently featured "Under Pressure," and that's a great song. So, it's swell that the rest of the film decided to be really good too. I have a hard time when a film is good, but the idea(s) it's talking about are superbly fantastic. I cannot seem to reconcile the two; it's confusing to love what a movie is about but not always love how it shows that. That being said, Aftersun is great, and I love the reviews I've read about the film and the idea of having to reconcile your parents as the people they are and your parents as you see them. There is a flawed image that I love, as that is my choice. I hate the one review that pointed out that eventually you'll see your father for the last time. For me, that's true twice over; there's the last time you ever see him, and (potentially) the last time you see him as your father, as an immutable, uncorrupted superhero of a person.
