Aftersun

I saw this on my recommendations on tubi and wanted to rewatch and holy fuck it hits so much harder on a rewatch. Lets all just die. I moved out recently and since then I’ve been thinking about all my past relationships especially with my parents. And this movie already hit me hard before but ohhh my god. Growing older I envy being a kid so much simply because I didn’t understand anything. my parents were my parents and I didn’t have to face their struggles head on because I couldn't even process them. I’ve been thinking about my past memories with my dad recently and rethinking all of them and watching it play out in a similar fashion in this movie hurts so good. The way this movie is shot and edited is so brilliant and the ending being somewhat open ended is perfect. Understanding your parents hardships and how they are just people at the end of the day is so difficult to come to terms with for no reason at all, but especially when you feel like you dont and wont have all the answers for things they did. I love this movie a lot, and a I like it a lot more on a second watch
