Because the beauty and pain of life are so, so, melancholic and hopeful. I left the cinema crying and smiling and amazed and sad and I keep remembering in random moments how wonderful it was and how much I loved Let’s Hurt Tonight by One Republic as its end song. I went with expectations that were very much met and beyond. The subtle magic of the ordinary and that final scene… wow. How it treats tragedy as well, and people recovering from it but never diminishes the pain it causes, too. Everything.
CALL ME BY YOUR NAME
I swear I’m not trying to be the typical tumblr fan. This was released in my cinema, like half a year after its original date in other countries? And in a special session of European cinema only once. I went with one of my best friends, and wow. I know it’s not perfect, but the impact it had, the visuals and their beauty, that feeling at the end of devastation and hope. I wanted to read the book and I couldn’t because the whole weekend after I watched the movie I was in a daze and then it was too painful and everytime I remember it… I have the epub but I’ve still not gathered the will to read it. Not that I think I want. Curiously, I haven’t read fanfic for this one and I don’t want to, you know? I think is good as it is. Now if I could know why it felt like such a punch in the gut… (why you so relatable elio?)
BRAVE & MOANA
Now I need to talk a bit about my two favourite Disney’s princess movies ever: Brave and Moana. Brave talked to me in such a way… when I watched it with my mom in my home, after the first time in cinema with my aunt I felt a great connection with her. My mum and I are very close, and we understand each other better than Merida and Elinor but mother-daughter moments, family love and remembrance of the past and magic made it a combination impossible to forget.
Moana was wonderful for me personally. I’ve always wanted to go, to go find my way and write and live in other countries and explore myself and by self and if I can, to help my family and other people with my actions. She is for me the most relatable disney princess, and I didn’t know how I needed a princess like her until I went to the cinema that day.
MAMMA MIA 1 & 2
I don’t know how many times I’ve rewatched Mamma Mia. First when I was 8 yrs old with of my mother’s side of the family in a birthday (I don’t remember whose)so since then I’ve always linked these movies to my family and my mom. After that day I’d watch it again and again on DVD. Part of that was that I didn’t have internet nor a laptop at home yet, but even more so was how I really loved its unabashed optimist and funny tone while having a lot of (good) feelings involved too. The characters, the songs, the isles and the greek weather so much like the one in my side of the Mediterranean sea… Pure good vibes. The second part was much of the same, but with more feelings and tears and I love it as much as the first one. The exception which confirms the rule. And I cried in the two films which seems to be my requirement in this list XD
And well, this is the end. These are the movies that right now have impacted me the most. I mean I have a lot of others which I absolutely love, but if you were to ask me which impacted the most after watching them and have lasted in my memory… These 6 would be the ones. Another day I’ll do one list with those other movies but for now… Shoutout to Kimi no Na wa which I’ve seen thrice and every time I like it more and more although at first, I was like: oh, good in a lukewarm way. I’ve always like your soundtrack though. ;P (Now I know the error of my old ways. Also Makia and whatever your name in English is for destroying me and my mom emotionally a Sunday one month ago. I didn’t really like you that much but I recognize how amazing you are)
