My great-grandmother died a few days ago. I didn't know her all that well and have always found it difficult to find an emotional response to death within myself, but I will look for her among God and the UFOs and the cardinals that call endlessly in the backyard, conspicuous but unsought.

A surprisingly apt double feature with A Midsummer's Fantasia, although Wings of Desire is a cut above. In art I look for experiences that bring me closer to God, and not only does this film do that, but it seems to understand my own specific spiritual journey. I can tell there is so much I missed and so much I will find when I watch it again. My only complaint is how Straight some of the explicit conclusions of the film are but those are easily generalized given that the emotional content obviously resonates with us queers too.

an exercise in figuring out how evil a woman is allowed to be in a movie while still being the protagonist

no one's doing it like park rn. great movie with a few totally magical moments

if there's anything i hate more than lazy ~mental illness = scary~ storylines it's artless nihilism

I got the results of the test back! I definitely have stomach cancer.
