The layout of the girls' penthouse apartment healed the child in my heart that loved the idea of superhero-spy-bffs team living in a fuckass tower somewhere

(Though, I did let out a snort at the sheer amount of research and detail that went into depicted Bukchon village only to immediately put in a bokeh effect that obscures most of it.)

There were moments where I was reminded this was primarily a Vibes Based movie but I could really overlook a lot just to gaze at like, the fashion pages

I love a good Art Of book and this reminded me of when I'd get them from the library and flip through them and get all excited about how much work went into the animated movies I liked.

I am basically a huge perma-simp for Ami Thompson's and Scott Watanabe's drawings so I would take an entire art book of just their takes on random people they see on the street everyday.

You see it with Ron, you see a bit of it with Seth, you see it with Jeff, and we're starting to see a bit of it with Natalie as she tries to escape what is obviously shaping up to be a bad marriage. And when you indulge in one world, the other begins to suffer.

I do think there is a fundamental tension between your passions, the things that make you You, and the "mundane" world that is inconvenient and boring and has seemingly arbitrary rules you have to follow at the cost of authenticity.

Also admired the breadth of Bashō's knowledge. Everywhere he went he pointed out a new historical site, a place of poetic significance, etc. I couldn't do the same even for places I've lived in for years 😭 I need to do a better job of delving into the histories of the places I live in and travel to.

At first I was a little put off by the poems in lieu of descriptions about the landscape, people, etc., but I quickly warmed to them. They felt like snapshots of intimate moments, not quite legible to me but one I could see someone else coming across and smiling happily at the memories they invoke.

I fuck heavy with the idea of writing a poem for every new place you see, or collaborating on poems with the people you meet on your journey. What a beautiful way to capture memories on a long journey.

I found myself deeply moved by the romanticism of going on this artistic journey, following the steps of a poet you admire, but also tickled by his smaller observations like him feeling frustrated by his own artistic output (same man) and being a new traveler making a lot of mistakes.

But I will say I loved the prose! You can read more about the context of his travels online, but this was kind of a culmination of a spiritual and poetic ideal he'd pursued all his life and it shows.

(and, again, I find the ease with which westerners will do loose evaluations of eastern art while feeling that such broader considerations are beneath them... Preddy Annoying I'll say)

As I said re: the Gita, I'm not going to claim to have the cultural context or artistic training to evaluate the actual haiku in the book.

Yeah like I think there's a way it could have threaded the line between comedy and drama better and I think that way would have been to limit how many times Josh O'Connor swears at the sight of something really shocking 😫

Occasionally forgot I was even watching a murder mystery, so that it felt like a man struggling with his faith in a small and bigoted little town AND ALSO Daniel Craig by way of Foghorn Leghorn is there

I'm admittedly a sucker for the "religious figure with a crazy backstory" character archetype and Josh O'Connor, already a fantastic fucking actor, killed it as an ex-boxer priest.

Had fun, this one was much more thematically aspirational than the others which automatically makes it my favorite. In some cases the Knives Out-ness made it a weaker movie, having to return to its comedic roots even when the moment didn't call for it.
