MY MUM BOUGHT ME A BOWIE TSHIRT!!!!
YOU WATCHED ASTEROID CITY?? ALREADY?? I'm so glad you liked it!!!
Im sorry but um. Some fangirling up ahead.
Did you manage to unpack some of the metaphors yet. Because. That movie is full of them. I watched it 5 times and I still don't completely understand it. But its really sad actually. It's full of metaphors about grief and death and not being able to move on if I understood it correctly. The actor who plays oggie falls in love with the playwriter. And the playwriter writes a film about oggie falling in love with his wife, who dies, and leaves him with immense amounts of grief. Before the play is even done, the playwriter dies, and leaves the actor with immense amounts of grief. But its the 50s, so no one can know about them being together. So the only place he can properly express his grief is as an actor in the play, grieving the death of his wife. When oggie and midge rehears a scene together, midge tells him "use your grief." I think she was talking to the actor playing oggie, not only to oggie himself. There are many other things I could go on about for hours but this is getting out of hand so I'll stop here.
Sorry about this. I love this movie. And by the way everything I just said was my opinion, idk if any of it is true. That's just how I saw it lol
I LOVED IT SOO MUCH, I did notice that there were a lot of metphors and I'm 100% going to watch multiple times to try to understand it as much as I can. The main thing I got from it is that the character (and actors) were looking for meaning, a sense of purpose as Woodrow said, even when the world might be meaningless and absurd they still wanted to find some kind explanation ( I loved how the showed this happening to both the characters as well as the stage actors). I also think it's about grief and how life goes on no matter what happens, even when it feels like the world is ending, it will always keep spinning, I really like the way they portayed this because at the beginning of the movie they did nuclear testing, and it seemed like that was a regulary occerence. And after the Alien visited and the lockdown was lifted the testing continues like nothing ever happened. But yea I'll definitely have to watch it again to tackle more of the metaphors. I also really like how this movie has a kind of existentialist/absurdist philosophy. And I also thought that the cinematopgraphy was incredible but I'd expect no less from Wes Anderson.
Thank you again for recommending🫶. (And no need to apologise for ranting, I love hearing other people's theories about stuff).
No way I have 4 tests, a final, an essay, a presentation and 2 book reports within three weeks. I'm genuinely gonna start shaking any moment now.

I genuinely can't believe I've never watched this movie before.

I'm never going to not cry when watching Dead poets society, the reason I know this is because my father (who has seen this movie 4 times, the first being around 25 years ago) still cries every time.
