Damn. It’s been almost three years since I last watched this, and I didn’t expect it to hit the same way now that I rewatched it.
I’ve always been the kind of person who puts meaning into things. Not just big, obvious memories, but small ones too like random objects, old messages, anything that reminds me of a certain time or person. So watching Jean try to "declutter" didn’t feel simple to me at all. It almost felt as personal. At some point it stopped feeling like cleaning at all. Then what I realized while watching this is that letting go isn’t as clean as people make it seem. it’s messy. Sometimes you think you’re doing the right thing, like returning something but it just brings back emotions you weren’t ready for. And I think that’s what made the film so relatable. It doesn’t try to make moving on look easy or satisfying. As someone who's sentimental, I honestly don’t think I can ever fully detach from things that once meant a lot to me. And maybe that’s not entirely a bad thing. But at the same time, the film made me question how much I should hold on to and when holding on starts to become something that quietly weighs me down
Even after three years, the film still resonates with me because it mirrors a truth I continue to live with and that is being sentimental is both a gift and a burden. It allows me to treasure memories deeply, but it also makes letting go feel like losing a part of myself. And maybe that is why this film have deeply connection with me because it gives an honest reflection of what it means to hold on, and what it costs to finally let go
