SOMETIMES I THINK ABOUT DYING
it is quite a new film but i think its so underrated and its so good and just so real. and personally i relate heavily and can see myself in the exact same situations that the protagonist (Fran played by Daisy Ridley btw :3) finds herself in.
also i think it is miles better than the short film

I went into this film entirely blind having heard nothing about it and I loved it. I felt so moved by it in a way I havenāt by a film in a while. So subtle but somehow very tactile in its depiction of isolation and depression. Daisy Ridley is perfect in it.

Iām always keeping my thoughts on the few films I choose to write about solely within the pages of my notes up, so I figured what the heck! Maybe someone out there might like the two cents I want to spend on talking about a film that moved me :] Spoilers, ofc!!!
Ā (2/2/25) Absolutely beautiful film. Watched it with katlafo, and we were both sobbing messes by the end. Throughout the beginning, I spent so much time trying to analyze the film, thinking I HAD to figure out the underlying message of a film Iād heard so much about before Iād even truly experienced it for myself. Man.
The scene where Greg shows Rachel her film was so beautiful. Again, I tried to pin point what it all meant in the momentāthe constant cuts to Greg and Rachelās pained expressions, the long shots of seemingly symbolic stop-motionābut I realized that that was exactly what was keeping me from what I longed for. So I sat there, and felt. And cried, and cried.
Later, the scene where Greg chooses to go to Rachelās room, allowing himself to simply exist in the silence, taking in the remnants of her life, it was all so beautiful; the tears just wouldnāt stop, haha.
While I didnāt leave this film with some life changing message I was subconsciously searching for, I feel this movie reminds me to love myself the way I do others; and to do things because they matter to ME, because I care about them.
While I want to say Iāll never trust anything that tells me someone or something wonāt die at the end, I know thatās not true.

I had been waiting what felt like a year and a half for this movie. In Mexico we donāt get most nominated films immediately. Instead theater chains do a āfilm festivalā marketing in Jan (which tends to be a slow month for films) and they bring every single nominated film scattered throughout jan-feb. So I did a mini film festival for myself, on mon i watched āa complete unknownā, yesterday āiām still hereā and today āa real painā.
Itās been a hard week, I was bummer out that i was feeling sad when i had been waiting so long for this one but i got ready, dressed up, walked to the local movie theater and by the time i got there i was feeling so happy and excited.
This movie was exactly what I needed. Without giving too much away, itās about two cousins traveling to Poland to know where their grandmother came from. I traveled there back in 2019 and I really enjoyed seeing places I had been to in a movie I had waited for so long, that was really exciting! Kieran and Jesse playing the role of cousins gave truly amazing, moves-me-to-my-core performances. It was interesting how I could relate to a certain degree with both characters which are polar opposites.
I donāt think I was able to say why I am recommending it, maybe Iām just feeling to much and the feelings havenāt translated into words just yet.
All in all to say, please do yourselves a favor and go watch this one! Iām sure you will love it as much as I have.

this isnt supposed to be something too deep lol, just something i sort of believe. i just think linear time is only how we perceive it but everything is happening at the same time, i.e. time is not a straight line but a point and everything is happening within that point. past, present, and future coexist. whatever you are going to do or however you are going to change is happening simultaneously. buuut, that doesnt mean that you can just not go and make decisions because of the way that we perceive time. we live in the present only, meaning we have to make the most out of our time here (without throwing caution to the wind too much).
idk i do sort of find comfort in this, that its all going to work out but you still have to be the one to make it all work out. :)
