Aftersun

“I think about the fact that we can both see the sun so, even though we’re not actually in the same place and we’re not actually together we kind of are, you know like we’re both underneath the same sky so we’re kind of together.” One of the most beautifully sad movies ever. This movie forces you to feel so deeply and has so many minute details that don’t make sense until the end of the film. The small details that don’t quite make sense until the very end like despite calum’s poor financial situation he still bought the 850 pound rug most likely as a memento for their vacation and how the film taken on their vacation was sort of like a parting gift for sophie so that she could have a little piece of him to hold on to and remember are what make this film so bittersweet. The way Calum loved sophie so much and sophie was so loved during the movie this film made me cry so much after fully processing it. The soundtrack, cinematography, and dialogue just really sit with you and it’s really one of those films where the more you think about it the sadder it gets.
