Rec'd on 📹 What’s a film that makes you cry every time?
Parachute
I don't usually cry when it comes to films. I don't really know why. The most that happens is like this tight feeling in my throat cuz I felt so bad for a character, but the tears never form. But Parachute broke that for me. There were many reasons why but I think the most prominent one is just how much Riley reminds me of me. When it ended I found myself hoping everything went smoothly for her, and also for myself. I haven't rewatched it since, so technically this isn't really answering the question because idk if it will make me cry again.

rewatching film scenes that make you cry
i do this with a couple in particular, whenever i feel like having a good crying session: the final scenes in call me by your name and normal people. it's pretty much automatic, especially with normal people. i know exactly what the characters are going to say and when, but i still cry every time. it doesn't matter how many times i've seen it. the scene will always carry the same emotions and be able to access the same ones within me. what a privilege it is to be profoundly moved by something.

they go through a lot of struggles bc the girl (riley) just got out of ed recovery and uses her new relationship bc shes still insecure. they break up at the end so riley can actually recover. its both a mental health and romance movie

Watching something sad when youre not vulnerable
So I just finished Normal People then rewatched Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind back to back and let me tell you yes they both tore me to pieces and were so so good. But i did not watch them at a time in my life where it could’ve been a lot worse. And yea it might’ve been cathartic to sob my heart out (I did still cry don’t get me wrong but very polite tears), I think I’m glad I was spared the heavy hit bc it allowed me to appreciate the show/film on its own.

well I'd say it is okay to date someone who is a sister. it is not okay to date someone, and then date their sister. i'd also go so far as to say you shouldn't date someone and their sister at the same time. definitely do not date your sister. thats a hard no.

BEND IT LIKE BECKHAM (2002)
Great film directed by Gurinder Chadha. About a British Indian girl who joins a women's football team which her parents don't approve of. This film made waves for British Asian representation. It does a great job of balancing social commentary with comedy.
