! spoilers ahead !

I honestly really like this film, josh o’connor is obviously a win when going into a queer film, and paul mescal after all of us are strangers is pretty peak. 

I love the storyline and the characters, the end had me bawling tho highkey cause what do you mean he thought about him and loved him for 60 years and got no closure, my baby.

For all its poise, the film sometimes errs on the side of “too quiet” You feel a longing for more visceral urgency or risk, however, not every single queer film has to be visually exciting, and i think the calm and not super loud approach really echoed david’s life. 

but i have to say i LOVED the scene when lionel is at his grandfathers funeral and he starts dancing round the fire, the strings in this scene and the whole movie were used so well, and i also loved the end, it was so devastatingly beautiful, you could feel the pain of lionel, and his forever longing for david, and when he finally hears his voice, you can see the bittersweet confliction he feels, it was heartbreaking to watch and i loved it.

josh o’connor you are my favourite white boy in queer cinema right now ily.

❝Would I feel differently if we hadn’t met? Would I feel now, that I had missed something? But we did meet. And what do I want now? I want the sound of my life, I think. What happens to it all, all the sounds released into the world, never captured? I want all of it. The history of sound.❞

I love me some Josh O'Connor but The History of Sound is just ok. The plot was pretty formulaic, if I'm being honest, as was the ending (though I'll admit it was still sad), which meant that the two hour run-time felt like an eternity. The cinematography was beautiful, as was the soundtrack, but the cast really saved it here; O'Connor and Paul Mescal gave touching performances that were crying out for better writing. I don't think I'd watch this again, but if you're a fan of either of the lead cast members it'd be worth giving it a go.

the ending got me. i knew it was coming and it still got me. i also loved a lot of the shots and the sounds of course were gorgeous. it’s a slow burn and the emotion is muted but it’s realistic. okay yes. they didn’t preserve and recorded just sounds and music. they preserved their memories. there’s something to that. yeah

Na para bang sinaksak ako ng Silver Dagger. anong klaseng color grading bat ang blurred na sa third act. 🥹

Blame the Sinners and this film if u see me listening to genres like ballad folk songs.

how interesting is it that although music is just words, it seems to be able to transcend anything one can usually say
