this movie makes me so emotional even though it’s partly a comedy. as someone who grew up with undiagnosed neurodivergence, the parallels between lars’ experiences and mine is very similar.
the part that makes me emotional is how everyone in the movie treats him. they are so kind and understanding, and allow him to grieve and cope in a way that is most comfortable for him. it’s a reminder that we are all worthy of love and patience, and we shouldn’t settle for any less. one day we will all find our small town that loves and accepts us for who we are.

🎥I love hyper-fixating on shows, movies, music, books, etc., but one of the best feelings is when I feel so connected and immersed with something. it feels like it becomes a part of myself. it might sound cliche to say that about Pearl (the A24 prequel to X starring Mia Goth) where Mia Goth’s monologue changed everything. it humanized her character and made her so much more relatable to me. I’ve heard that people with BPD relate to her character a lot, which is interesting because I’ve done some research on BPD, and characters that have it. I relate to their characters, but I don’t think I relate to them in such a way that I think I have the disorder, it’s just from a place of understanding. for example, I have a fear of abandonment, but how I handle it is different. the most recent movie I’ve felt connected to is May, which I could see people with BPD relating to as well. May is a movie about this woman who the viewers know early on that she’s different. she’s just trying to find someone to match her freak essentially, but without much success. so, she takes it upon herself to take something from each person she knows to build something better for herself. she did feel like she was being strung along after all

🫂• the banshees of inisherin (2022): I only reccomend this if u want to think abt the relationship and be sad abt it for a bit. especially if it is a case where nothing particularly happened you just drifted apart without explanation
• do revenge (2022): fun and lowkey cathartic movie for 17 year old me! dec helped me reconcile with the more messy and tumultuous side of friendships? idk i can't remember much abt this one i think it was just a "right place, right time" movie for me
• deadpool & wolverine (2024): yes I am being so fr rn. I saw this bc my mother was tired of me crying over the fact that my bff-of-two-years-and-partner-of-7-months had just broken up with me and for those 2 hours I forgot abt all the pain and sadness over ya know the whole dating ur off means when u breakup u lose both a partner AND a friend. but yeah it was a good wild time that even made me almost cry for ya know other non-breakup reasons :)
• in regards to the previous rec binging the x-men movies rlly helped distract me from all the emotional turmoil of that breakup
•10 things i hate abt you (1999): a good fun uplifting rom-com to ignore the world to and in my case helped me ignore the grief of some stuff over the years :)
•the muppets (2011): comfort movie to the max degree!!! makes the world feel a little less evil imo
• any one of the cornetto trilogy movies by edgar wright: the bromance between nick frost and simon pegg truly helps me remember that real love in friendship is possible. and it's funny and silly goofy. that is also a big part of my enjoyment for those movies

SITCOMS because I was rewatching Life in Pieces and the ending hit me harder than the first time. This is not exactly a genre defying or well known show but the laughs, the sense of family and the hope it brings is enough. And I think it's forgotten as of late that a tv show doesn't need to be prestigious or win awards to be good. Actually it doesn't even need to be that good, it's television, it just needs to make you feel a little less lonely and a little more optimistic.
The song I discovered thanks to the show and honestly it helped me during some sad as f*** times because sometimes mitski just makes it worse.
