One of the top three films of the last decade. One of my favorite movies of all time. All of the films I rewatch over and over have a cool, blue tone vibe. Languorous - like taking the time to remember the thing that has been lost in slow detail. Lost in Translation, Porco Rosso, Inherent Vice, CMBYN. An Asian film made in Italy. Vibes immaculate.
The most blissful cut of the last decade is Armie Hammer turning at the sudden sound of a train whistle and then cutting to the train station.

I’m at a place in life rn where I’m spending a great deal of time in new places working on projects with people I don’t know all too well. And even when I’m in my home city this is the case, where if I’m not traveling, people not from here are traveling to meet me.
Ive been saying recently that I feel like a traveler, like I have no rigid routine (which I always wanted) but that comes with an aimless feeling like you’re just floating about.
I just got back from a work trip and came straight home to a long meeting for more work, and I’m now sitting in my office watching Lost in Translation.
It’s such a pertinent film when it comes to that feeling of aimlessness and floating about, where even though you have a reason to be somewhere, doing a certain thing, you still feel like you don’t know exactly what is going on around and within you. And with my goings about theres often incredible women whom I meet and connect with only to hardly or never see them again (as is the case in the movie)
the film is comforting to say the least. Theres something to appreciate about that feeling and seeing it so clearly depicted on screen. it’s not happy, but not entirely sad. Just a good reminder to enjoy that transient sensation, because it doesn’t last forever.
I’m Rambling. But it’s a gorgeous, timeless film and I’m just floating rn

Your Name: most beautiful anime film I’ve ever seen. The track Katawaredoki makes me cry every single time.
500 Days of Summer: Don’t really gotta say much. A movie that has changed my outlook on relationships.
Spider-Man 2: The best Spider-Man film in my opinion. Goes from almost leaving it all to getting it all. Alfred Molina is iconic in this.
In the Mood for Love: this movie broke me. Can’t/won‘t go into detail. Watch it.

Nobuhiko Obayashi is probably one of my favorite filmmakers of all time and I usually turn to his work often for comfort.
This one in particular fills me such a beautiful ache of nostalgia and longing. The use of color to illustrate the dreamy nature of love and lives lived is gorgeous. I genuinely think this is a film everyone needs to see

Look down to avoid dog shit. Miss everything else.
Look up, step in dog shit maybe, but witness everything.
